Chapter 1026 Leading by the Nose
The atmosphere was very awkward. Wei Lan moved her lips, wanting to persuade the city lord's wife to stop eating crabs, but she couldn't bring herself to say it and could only stare blankly.
Miaoyin sighed silently as she buried her head in eating crab, her smile utterly desolate.
Yuwen Kun was extremely embarrassed. The dignified wife of the city lord of Sishui City was being coerced by a prisoner. This was too much. He hated Bai Dingfeng and Wei Lan in his heart.
"Madam, crabs are a cold food, so even if you are not pregnant, you should not eat too many."
Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Li Ruoshuang quickly stepped forward to stop them.
Miaoyin obediently nodded, signaling the maid to bring a basin of water to wash her hands, and then watched the song and dance as if no one else was there, not giving Yuwen Kun a single glance.
The couple had not yet consummated their marriage. Yuwen Kun coughed lightly twice, thinking that his wife's actions indicated her dissatisfaction with him.
Indeed, every time he ran away at a crucial moment, it was as if he was incompetent, while he had unspeakable suffering, as if he really was incompetent.
Yuwen Kun picked up his wine glass with a very bitter expression and looked at the hot women dancing below the stage. He was very disgusted by their flirtatious poses.
Perhaps sensing that the city lord was watching, the leading woman became very bold. She jumped onto the high platform, flipped over, and tried to throw herself into Yuwen Kun's arms.
What filth!
Yuwen Kun was a germaphobe, and without hesitation, he kicked the woman off the platform. Because of the force, the woman who had been fawning flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a pillar in front of the door. In an instant, her head was smashed, and her brains spilled all over the ground.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a tragedy occurred at the banquet, leaving Yuwen Kun feeling extremely unlucky. He had no patience to continue enjoying the song and dance performances and left early.
The people of Sishui City were already used to Yuwen Kun's brutality.
Servants immediately came up and dragged the body away, wiping away the bloodstains. After a moment, not a trace could be seen.
If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the air, Wei Lan would have thought that everything just now was a dream.
Yuwen Kun left his seat. Bai Dingfeng pondered for a moment. Today was a good opportunity. If he missed it, it would be difficult to expose the imposter's identity.
Bai Dingfeng signaled to Wei Lan to continue cultivating a relationship with the counterfeiters.
"Brother-in-law, Ruoshuang toasts you."
Li Ruoshuang poured Bai Dingfeng a glass of wine and said sadly, "If only my sister were alive."
"Ruoxue has a strong personality, she... can't think straight."
Upon hearing this, Bai Dingfeng raised his glass. He had always wanted to get his hands on Li Ruoshuang. The two sisters had the same face, so he could pretend that nothing had happened.
The two women clinked glasses and drank together. Wei Lan gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't openly curse Li Ruoshuang as a vixen at the banquet.
To avoid being mistreated, Wei Lan set her sights on the imposter.
Miaoyin deliberately pretended to be in pain, scratching her neck and leaving a clear red mark.
"It looks like a rash is about to break out!"
Wei Lan thought to herself, "If I wait a little while, the imposter will be exposed."
Lin Yuesha, although they have the same face, have different temperaments.
Lin Yuesha is a fox, while the imposter in front of her is probably a bit dim-witted, like a puppet, lacking any sense of liveliness.
"Please excuse me for a moment."
Seeing that it was about time, Miaoyin stood up.
Li Ruoshuang stepped forward to help her up, but Wei Lan stopped her, saying, "I was too rash just now. I apologize to Madam."
Li Ruoshuang was worried that Wei Lan would ruin things, so she said, "With me here, Madam Bai should take care of herself first. Don't be so tactless in the future."
To spout nonsense in front of the city lord, do you really think the city lord has the magnanimity to tolerate others?
Li Ruoshuang saw Miaoyin off at the door, and Bai Dingfeng made an excuse to go to the restroom, then followed closely behind.
Inside the garden of the city lord's mansion, Yuwen Kun was suffering from inner torment. This couldn't go on forever. Since he had married, he should give his wife an explanation.
His current state made Yuwen Kun even more suspicious that he was a scumbag who wanted to eat what he had but also covet what he didn't.
Yuwen Kun sent people to search for the whereabouts of the doctor's wife, but has not yet received a reply.
"The city lord is sitting in the pavilion. Let's proceed according to the original plan."
With perfect timing, location, and people, Li Ruoshuang originally planned to frame Bai Dingfeng and then deliver a letter to the city lord. Unexpectedly, the city lord was in the back garden, and everything went smoothly.
"good."
Miaoyin nodded, pondering to herself that the success was due to her prior notification to Qi Heng's people. Even if Yuwen Kun wanted to go to the study to calm down, he would eventually end up in the back garden. Qi Heng had that ability.
"Madam, please wait."
Bai Dingfeng strode up to Miaoyin and asked, "May I speak with you in private?"
"Brother-in-law, Madam is not feeling well. Let's talk about it another time."
Li Ruoshuang nudged Bai Dingfeng and whispered, "Madam is itchy and is eager to go back to her room."
Itchy? That's right, eating crabs can cause rashes, and you just want to scratch them.
Bai Dingfeng observed the counterfeiter's expression and became even more certain.
"Madam, you are not Lin Yuesha. Who sent you?"
Bai Dingfeng thought that a single sentence would scare the imposter, causing him to panic and expose his true colors.
"Young Master Bai, I will not hold it against you because you and your brother were classmates."
Miao Yin looked at Bai Dingfeng as if he were an idiot and said, "Why do you doubt me? Is it because I married Yuwen Kun?"
Miaoyin addressed Yuwen Kun by his full name, which made her appear extremely imposing.
For a moment, Bai Dingfeng was not so sure, thinking that he had seen wrong.
Yuwen Kun hid in the shadows, remaining silent, wanting to hear what his wife had to say.
"You are engaged to Qi Heng, and a woman cannot marry twice, you..."
Bai Dingfeng was stunned and momentarily forgot his reason for exposing the counterfeit.
"It's none of your business. You're just worrying about things that don't concern you."
Miaoyin said, "I admire the city lord and I want to marry him. Do you think the city lord is inferior to Qi Heng?"
This question stumped Bai Dingfeng.
Bai Dingfeng couldn't bring himself to say that Yuwen Kun was indeed inferior to Qi Heng, especially since he was on Sishui City's territory.
If this gets back to Yuwen Kun's ears, he might harbor resentment towards him.
Right now, the Bai family still needs to use Yuwen Kun, so they can't afford to offend him too much.
"Anyway, Lin Yuesha couldn't say those words."
Bai Dingfeng panicked and realized he was being led by the nose by the imposter. He broke out in a cold sweat. What a silver tongue that imposter had!
"If you're sick, go see a doctor. Don't come here and show off your judgment. Who I am is none of your business."
Miaoyin thought of the lines Li Ruoshuang had arranged and emphasized, "I'm marrying the city lord, so I'm his person. You take care of Weilan's belly first. Whether I'm pregnant or not is none of your business."
Miaoyin said these words to Yuwen Kun, who was hiding in the shadows. On the surface, it was to protect herself, but in reality, it was a sign of some resentment.
After being married for so long, Miaoyin still hasn't gotten pregnant, which is why people are gossiping about her. It's all because Yuwen Kun isn't fulfilling his responsibilities. If she were pregnant, then Yuwen Kun would be the one who's being cuckolded.
