Chapter 1061 Anti-fraud
"Li Ruoshuang, do you know what a serious crime it is to slander the Madam?"
Upon hearing the words "fake," Yuwen Kun had a moment of doubt. He had seen the bright red sandalwood flower tattooed on his wife's chest, and it was indeed his own handiwork; there was no way it could be fake.
"Yeah?"
Li Ruoshuang harbored deep resentment. She and Miaoyin had cooperated very successfully, keeping the truth from Yuwen Kun for a long time. If she hadn't confessed, the truth might have remained hidden.
With death looming, Li Ruoshuang only wanted to see Yuwen Kun make a fool of himself.
She and Miaoyin were partners, so there was no question of betrayal. Without her, no one would cover for Miaoyin, and Miaoyin would likely be exposed very quickly.
“Miss Li, show some respect to the city lord. You are no longer the daughter of an official, but a maid in the city lord's mansion. Why are you being so sarcastic?”
Yuwen Kun's subordinate chuckled. The city lord had already given his word to send Li Ruoshuang to him, and there was no possibility of turning back.
Little Chili Pepper is certainly spicy, but I wonder if she'll beg for mercy on his bed tonight.
"You disgusting trash, get out of here."
As Li Ruoshuang spoke, she exerted force, and the dagger slashed open her neck, the blood dripping down the blade and onto her front.
She wasn't threatening anyone, nor was she joking.
"Li Ruoshuang, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Yuwen Kun didn't care whether Li Ruoshuang lived or died, but he suspected that Li Ruoshuang was trying to sow discord between him and his wife.
Lin Yuesha has always been by his side, how could she be an imposter?
However, there was one thing that Yuwen Kun couldn't explain: ever since returning from Jinyu Pass, he had never shown any interest in his wife, and he didn't have the same smugness he had when he boasted to Qi Heng.
For a long time, Yuwen Kun even doubted that he was a scumbag who started relationships and then abandoned his lovers.
Yuwen Kun glanced down at his men, who were all looking excited and waiting to hear what would happen next.
"Li Ruoshuang, come with me to the side hall."
As Yuwen Kun spoke, he took the lead and strode ahead, with Li Ruoshuang following closely behind.
Upon reaching the side hall, Yuwen Kun asked, "You say the madam is an imposter, but what evidence do you have?"
"What evidence could this servant possibly have? It's just that you, Lord City Lord, have neglected your wife..."
Li Ruoshuang regained some of her senses. Just now, the city lord wanted to give her away, and Li Ruoshuang wished she could commit suicide to save face. But now that the two of them were alone, Li Ruoshuang realized that she might be able to persuade Yuwen Kun to let her go.
If Miaoyin is exposed, Li Ruoshuang, the accomplice and mastermind, will only face death, since the two of them conspired to scheme against Bai Dingfeng.
"Li Ruoshuang, do you think I, the city lord, am brainless?"
Yuwen Kun toyed with his teacup. There were some things he didn't want to think about, and as he recalled them, his suspicions only deepened.
For example, her wife rarely cooks, never grills meat, and doesn't make snacks. Even if Lin Yuesha became the wife of the city lord of Sishui City, she should still be a lively and boisterous person.
What puzzled him even more was Qi Heng's attitude; Qi Heng didn't send anyone to Sishui City to snatch people away.
"My lord, I was just anxious and that's why I talked nonsense."
After thinking it through, Li Ruoshuang stubbornly refused to budge.
"You only told me half of it, deliberately keeping this city lord in suspense."
Yuwen Kun snatched Li Ruoshuang's dagger, tied her to a pillar with rope, and said in a completely flat tone, "Tell me everything you know."
The reason why he was so convinced of Lin Yuesha's identity was mainly because of the tattoo on Lin Yuesha's chest. Li Ruoshuang's words had a hidden meaning, and it seemed that the tattoo was somewhat unusual.
Lin Yuesha doesn't have twin sisters, so could there really be two identical people?
Yuwen Kun wasn't sure, but he could trick him into revealing the truth.
"If you think I'm a fool, you should know what the consequences will be."
Yuwen Kun appeared indifferent, but inwardly he was in turmoil. He tentatively asked, "The rose on the imposter's chest, you were the one who got it there, weren't you?"
Only people from the City Lord's Mansion have the image of the magnolia flower and the dye for tattooing. If that's the case, the person most likely to be bribed by the other party is Li Ruoshuang.
"I saw through her act long ago, so I played along with your act. How about it, isn't it exciting?"
Yuwen Kun took a sip of tea, his tone relaxed.
Only he knew that he was burning with anger. If everything turned out as he suspected, and he had been tricked, it would be the biggest joke of all.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruoshuang's eyes darted around, and the guilty look on her face betrayed her.
"I'm only giving you one last chance. If you don't confess, you know the consequences."
With each word Yuwen Kun uttered, Li Ruoshuang trembled. She struggled and twisted, but the ropes only tightened further.
Li Ruoshuang regretted it. She could have used delaying tactics to find a way to escape, but she took the wrong step.
"Yes, I got the drawing paper and paint myself."
Li Ruoshuang admitted that she had learned that Lin Yuesha no longer had the sandalwood flower on her chest. When she was in the Northwest, Lin Yuesha used the scar removal cream made by the Medicine King, and the scabs had already fallen off.
However, this information was kept very secret. Li Ruoshuang set a trap for Yuwen Kun and was determined not to tell him. She made Yuwen Kun take the wood jasmine tattoo as the key to finding Lin Yuesha, only to end up with nothing.
As Li Ruoshuang spoke, she couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahaha..."
"Yuwen Kun, do you still remember that scene in front of the two armies in the Northwest, where you brought an imposter to the wedding ceremony and caused such a commotion?"
Lin Yuesha is the army's lucky charm, always managing to turn misfortune into good fortune—it's just that uncanny. Meanwhile, Miaoyin, who's by Yuwen Kun's side, is likely a jinx.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Kun's face turned pale and then red, and he wished he could tear Li Ruoshuang to pieces.
When did you find out?
Yuwen Kun forced himself to continue interrogating Li Ruoshuang.
"No comment, haha."
Li Ruoshuang admitted to the matter. She understood her fate. Rather than let Yuwen Kun take action, she would rather end her own life. As for whether her corpse would be whipped after death, she didn't care.
Ever since Yuwen Kun saved her, Li Ruoshuang vowed to follow him for the rest of her life.
"Lord of the city, why are you pretending to be a Casanova? Why are you rejecting me?"
If Yuwen Kun had treated everyone equally, Li Ruoshuang probably wouldn't have harbored such resentment. But after being rejected and humiliated multiple times, her heart had already changed.
After witnessing this excellent performance, where Yuwen Kun was completely outmaneuvered, even his death was worthwhile.
Of course, there are still many unsolved mysteries. Li Ruoshuang didn't want to tell Yuwen Kun, because after her death, the city lord would always be preoccupied with this and think of her.
"Whose side is Miaoyin on?"
The trail begins at Jinyuguan in the northwest. This trail is very long. If Miaoyin is Qi Heng's person, the other party has already followed the clues to find her.
Yuwen Kun looked up and saw that Li Ruoshuang's eyes were wide open; she had already bitten her tongue and committed suicide.
"Someone, clean this up."
Yuwen Kun summoned his men and then strode straight to the inner courtyard.
So, Qi Heng knew he had been deceived a long time ago, and then he joined in on this charade.
In the inner quarters of the city lord's mansion, Miaoyin felt uneasy upon hearing that Li Ruoshuang had caused a scene at the victory celebration banquet.
It happened to be New Year's Eve. The people from the City Lord's Mansion went to the front yard for their New Year's Eve dinner, so Miaoyin didn't have time to send a message to Qi Heng's men.
