Chapter 1064 The Scapegoat
Yuwen Kun stared at Miaoyin sternly, then said with a forced smile, "Who do you think Qi Heng is?"
Qi Heng has an innocent appearance, but he is actually ruthless. Otherwise, how could he, as a descendant of the Qi family, subdue the Prince of Zhenbei's subordinates and command the three armies?
No matter how cunning and scheming the Wei and Bai families were, they were ultimately destroyed by Qi Heng.
Qi Heng knew that Miao Yin was an imposter, and that Miao Yin would only die sooner.
"You're right."
Miaoyin quickly flattered him again, testing him several times. It seemed that Yuwen Kun did not know that she was Qi Heng's subordinate.
Li Ruoshuang was also unaware of this, but Miaoyin wasn't worried about being exposed.
Miaoyin was worried that Lin Yuesha had used a special ointment to remove the tattoo on her chest, and the news had reached Li Ruoshuang's ears. However, Miaoyin had no idea what Li Ruoshuang had said to Yuwen Kun before she died.
However, given this situation, we can only take it one step at a time.
At this moment, Lin Yuesha was looking at the account books in the courtyard, checking several accounts.
Qian was quick at calculating accounts and almost never made mistakes. With her right-hand woman by her side, Lin Yuesha's life became much easier.
Just after seeing off the Qian family, Lin Yuesha was massaging her sore eyes when she heard footsteps at the door.
"But what's wrong with the accounts?"
Before Lin Yuesha could even open her eyes, she felt as if she had been frozen in place. She was terrified and speechless for a moment.
Yuwen Kun had already arrived in front of her and was staring intently at her.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Lin Yuesha immediately felt a pang of sadness and almost burst into tears.
The city of Sishui is not peaceful. Yuwen the Demon Lord should be staying in charge, so why has he come to the fishing village?
Seeing the helpless Miaoyin beside her, Lin Yuesha suddenly realized.
Miaoyin stood behind Yuwen Kun, unable to speak, but could only mouth to Lin Yuesha, "Li Ruoshuang is dead."
In short, Lin Yuesha understood the gist of it. It must have been Li Ruoshuang who betrayed Miaoyin. She had wanted to use Li Ruoshuang, but she didn't know that this person was also a hidden danger.
Lin Yuesha was very annoyed. She had been wearing a cloud mask, otherwise she could have at least concealed herself.
"You stay. Think carefully about what you say and do."
Yuwen Kun gave Miaoyin a threatening look, and Miaoyin had no choice but to obediently comply and change into a dress worn by Lin Yuesha.
The three of them were inside the room when they heard footsteps at the door again.
"Cousin, I'm coming in!"
Xu Da entered the room carrying a small basket, humming a little tune.
Someone arrived, and to avoid a collision, Yuwen Kun took Lin Yuesha into the inner room, leaving Miaoyin to deal with the situation alone.
A moment later, Xu Da entered through the curtain.
"Cousin, look what I brought you!"
As Xu Da spoke, he opened the basket, which contained several steamed crabs.
Miaoyin's eyelids twitched; she was allergic to shrimp and crab, and rashes appeared on her face and neck, so she dared not eat anything indiscriminately.
“Some villagers went fishing this morning, but they didn’t catch many crabs, mostly females. I collected them after they got off the boat and steamed them for you.”
Xu Da smiled and said, "Cousin, look how sincere I am to you. There's nothing more to say between us siblings."
"Yes, thank you, cousin."
Miaoyin handled it with ease. Don't let her eat crabs, otherwise she will feel unbearably itchy all over and suffer a lot.
She secretly envied Lin Yuesha, whose relationship with Lord Xu was so good, just like that of siblings.
Even Miaoyin herself unconsciously immersed herself in the role.
"There's no need for us to be so polite, we're like siblings."
Xu Da delivered the gifts but didn't leave, waiting for Lin Yuesha to speak. Usually at this point, his cousin would definitely ask him if he had any requests, but today he had been hinting at it for a long time, and his cousin was still not in the right frame of mind.
"Cousin, let's not beat around the bush. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Miaoyin was momentarily distracted. She wanted to send a message to Xu Da, but after careful consideration, she realized that the risk was too high, mainly because Xu Da was not so reliable.
"Cousin, your words really hurt me. Do we, as siblings, need to be so pragmatic?"
Xu Da pulled up a chair, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and acted as if he were a complete stranger.
"I might have misunderstood my cousin."
Following Xu Da's lead, Miao Yin prepared to ask the person to leave.
"Uya's plums are almost gone."
Within three sentences, Xu Da contradicted himself, and before leaving, he reminded Lin Yuesha, "Wuya is really craving your pickled plums, don't forget!"
Inside the room, Lin Yuesha was cornered against the wall by Yuwen Kun, unable to speak.
At this point, one must be pragmatic and prioritize ensuring one's own safety.
After Xu Da left, Yuwen Kun tore open Lin Yuesha's clothes in front of Miaoyin and was quite stunned to see that she had no tattoo on her chest.
"Who are you?"
Yuwen Kun squinted; the person in front of him was not Lin Yuesha.
That makes sense. Someone as precious as Qi Heng would definitely be hidden away, rather than showing his face in the fishing village.
Upon entering the inner room, Yuwen Kun observed that although Qi Heng and the person before him lived under the same roof, they might not necessarily share a room.
This alone is enough to prove that the person in front of you is also a fake.
After all, she's the woman he likes. No matter how much he tries to endure it, he can't remain completely unresponsive under the same roof, unless he's a eunuch.
"Don't you know who I am? Then what are you doing here?"
Lin Yuesha was shocked. It turned out that Yuwen Kun had identified her, Lin Yuesha herself, as a substitute for Miaoyin. That was quite interesting.
"If you were Lin Yuesha, how could Qi Heng not share a room with you?"
Yuwen Kun's immediate question, so embarrassing, successfully shut Lin Yuesha up, leaving her unable to answer.
"Tell me, where is Lin Yuesha?"
Yuwen Kun was gripping Lin Yuesha's neck with his hand; if he used too much force, her neck would snap.
"I...I don't know."
Lin Yuesha blinked and said, "General Qi rarely comes to the fishing village, and he never tells me where he goes."
Fortunately, Yuwen the Demon Lord doesn't know that she is Lin Yuesha herself, so she won't be in too much danger for the time being.
Unfortunately, Qi Heng was not in the fishing village today, and Miao Yin was being coerced by Yuwen Kun.
"Lord, what should we do next?"
Miaoyin awaited Yuwen Kun's instructions and asked.
"You eat the crab first."
At this time, Qi Heng cannot return for the time being, and Yuwen Kun also needs to calm down and think of a solution.
So Qi Heng was just like him, keeping the fake Lin Yuesha by his side as a shield. Where was the real Lin Yuesha?
Yuwen Kun admitted that at one point, he actually harbored murderous intent towards Miaoyin.
Miaoyin's presence constantly reminded him that he had been tricked, but after arriving at the fishing village, he had a new idea.
After Lin Yuesha was found, she and Miaoyin were brought back together.
The city of Sishui is in chaos, with people with ulterior motives stirring up trouble, and many wanting to take his place.
Those people weren't stupid; they naturally knew that he valued his wife. If they were to target his weakness, Miaoyin could be a scapegoat for Lin Yuesha.
In this way, at least Lin Yuesha's safety can be guaranteed.
