Chapter 680 The Mask is Revealed Again on the Wedding Day
Who cares whether Zhuang Shi had ulterior motives or not? Lin Yuesha would never serve such a vicious woman!
After returning to her room, Lin Yuesha asked Qingxing and Baicha to pack their belongings and then left. As for what happened to the Zhuang family, that was not within her consideration.
Stepping out of the mansion gate with a flourish, Lin Yuesha took a few deep breaths and laughed, "Living in the guest courtyard always felt smoky and stuffy, but after leaving the mansion, the air smells so sweet."
"Miss, shall we go straight back to the Lin residence?"
Bai Cha pouted. She disliked the Lin family, especially since the master had brought his concubine and two sons into the household, causing chaos in the mansion.
"No, let's go for a walk first, eat and shop, celebrate a bit, and then go home."
After being away from home for a while, it's still most comfortable to go back.
Lin Yuesha decided to take two maids to Shuangfuji Restaurant, while Qingxing had important news to report to Pockmarked Face.
Xiao Qi didn't descend the mountain until dusk, returning from Qingzhu Academy to Shuangfuji.
"My lord, I have not failed you."
Qingxing first handed the envelope to her master, glancing at his face repeatedly out of the corner of her eye, guessing what was going on in her mind.
How is the master's mood today? If it's not too bad, she has something important to report. After all, she betrayed the master, so she should confess as soon as possible and drag Granny Fang and Qi'er down with her to share the blame.
"Stolen from the Zhuang family?"
Xiao Qi's hands trembled for a moment. He closed the letter and shut his eyes.
Although he was still in his mother's womb at the time and couldn't feel her despair at the last moment, he could still feel his mother's deep love.
Back then, my mother could have survived if she had just handed him over.
But she didn't; instead, she saved his life.
"My lord, I have spoken out of turn. Please punish me."
Qingxing knelt on the ground, head bowed, hoping to use important physical evidence to atone for her crimes.
How should one be punished for being talkative?
Xiao Qi's voice was very soft, revealing neither his joy nor anger.
"The tongue was cut off."
Qingxing closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly; she didn't want to be mute.
"Will you do it yourself, or should I?"
Xiao Qi's eyes were unreadable, but every word he spoke was clear and easy to understand.
Qingxing felt as if a heavy hammer had struck her heart, and she was speechless for a moment. Yes, the master treated the young lady differently, but he was always strict with people like them, insisting on following the rules.
She and Qi'er had been following their young mistress for a long time and had become somewhat complacent.
"I'll do it myself."
Qingxing grabbed a dagger, steeling her resolve. If she did it herself, she might still have a chance to survive; but if her master made a move, her life would be over…
Just as Qingxing raised her dagger, Lin Yuesha pushed open the door and entered. She didn't mean to eavesdrop; she just happened to be at the door.
It's likely that Qingxing was too nervous to notice, while the pockmarked man definitely heard her footsteps.
"Brother Yun, or I should call you Brother Qi."
Lin Yuesha stepped forward, snatched the dagger from Qingxing, and laughed, "Qingxing, don't be afraid. Actually, Brother Qi doesn't want to punish you."
She knew the man with the pockmarked face; such a bloody punishment would at least be carried out in a secluded place.
He heard footsteps and figured she would intervene, so he scared Qingxing as a small punishment.
Such a cunning person uses every step to scheme against others, including themselves.
"Brother Qi, aren't you afraid that one day you'll make a mistake?"
After all, human hearts are unpredictable; a hundred thoughts can arise in the blink of an eye. How can one calculate things precisely? What if she hadn't stepped in to stop it?
"You won't."
Lin Yuesha will definitely stop it; she's a kind-hearted person.
Although she always said that meddling in other people's business would easily cause trouble, she still meddled in many other people's business.
"You're sure I'm not a bad person?"
Lin Yuesha shook her head and chuckled. Well, she couldn't bring herself to ignore it.
Qingxing finally managed to stand up, hiding to the side and panting heavily. Her master's scheming was truly deadly. She had just prepared herself to become mute, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, giving her the joy of surviving a disaster.
After Qingxing left, only Xiao Qi and Lin Yuesha remained in the room.
"I've done you a huge favor, shouldn't I get a reward?"
Lin Yuesha's eyes darted around as she stared at the pockmarked mask and asked, "When will you dare to show your true face?"
"I……"
One sentence hit Xiao Qi's weak spot, and he didn't dare, at least not now.
He even regretted not telling the truth earlier. Not content with just having a pockmarked face, he added a large mole, leaving him sandwiched between two identities, neither here nor there, and he told a colossal lie.
"What, is it difficult?"
Lin Yuesha gnawed on a duck leg and mumbled, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything beastly like I did when I was drunk last time."
If you do it, you'll be responsible for the pockmarked face.
Back then, Lord Qi was a handsome and dignified man, and Madam Qi was the most beautiful woman in the world. Like begets like, their son was definitely an outstanding person. Even if she was a beast, she was still the one who benefited.
Besides, after seeing Ziyuan, Lin Yuesha thought there couldn't be anyone more beautiful than Ziyuan.
"Could it be that you are Sister Ziyuan?"
After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, her mind couldn't keep up with her hands. She raised her hands and unconsciously touched the pockmarked face's chest.
Yes, it's flat.
"It's all oil. If you're going to touch it, at least wash your hands first!"
Xiao Qi saw a greasy handprint on his chest, and his brow twitched violently. He was a germaphobe and disliked being touched. If it weren't for Lin Yuesha, he would have already knocked her away and wouldn't have had a chance to get close to her.
"Sister Ziyuan also has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness."
Lin Yuesha touched her chin, feeling a strange sense of harmony and familiarity from her interactions with the pockmarked face.
Beneath the pockmarked face mask could be anyone, male or female; Shion and the pockmarked face seem to be around the same age.
However, the two seem to have appeared at the same time, right at the entrance of the haunted house in the capital.
In an instant, Lin Yuesha realized she had been overthinking things.
"The mask will be taken off sooner or later, on the day we get married."
Since that's the case, Xiao Qi didn't want to pretend anymore. He became Qi Heng, and the two got married.
Using their real identities might be difficult, so it's better to get married first and make it a fait accompli.
He couldn't wait any longer, he didn't want to wait anymore.
"What?"
Lin Yuesha nearly choked on the duck meat. She gulped down some water and then asked, "Did I hear that right?"
"No."
Xiao Qi sat down, concealing his inner panic, and said matter-of-factly, "Do you still remember what you did to me when you were drunk that day? Do you need me to help you recall?"
"this……"
Lin Yuesha blushed at what was said. This pockmarked man had previously distanced himself from her, so why did he suddenly act up?
Who remembers the drunken incident? If she doesn't remember, then it's a slander.
"You forcefully took off my clothes, touched my back, and then..."
If you're too slow, the little girl will be snatched away by the wolf. You have to strike first. As a man, you can't be hesitant.
