Chapter 705 The Pockmarked Face Is Ubiquitous
The night breeze was cool, and the fragrance of flowers and grass wafted everywhere.
Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, shining on him and casting dappled shadows.
"Brother Qi, I was just about to talk to you."
Lin Yuesha thought back to her days at the Zhenbei King's mansion, where the pockmarked man was indifferent to life and death, showing no regard whatsoever.
This is the same person who saved her from danger countless times.
Regardless of what the future holds for the two of them, Lin Yuesha is unwilling to feel indebted.
"The capital is not in the north. Even in autumn, people still wear light clothes, although it gets a bit chilly at night."
Xiao Qi came to give instructions to his younger sister. She had done too much, and his original intention was not to involve her.
Since it was unavoidable, he could only do more.
"After I leave, you stay in the capital and focus on your business. Don't get involved in other people's business, and take care of yourself first."
Xiao Qi instructed her to make arrangements for Lin Yuesha in every way she could. As for Qin Nanyan and her servant, since they were women, it was not appropriate for them to stay in Wenjun Tower for a long time. To avoid being captured by Lin Shusheng, he sent them to Cangzhou.
"If anything changes, have Qingxing and Qi'er deliver a message to Shuangfuji."
As Xiao Qi spoke, he took out a piece of scrap paper and handed it to Lin Yuesha.
"Is this a map?"
Lin Yuesha found the layout plan familiar but didn't understand the pockmarked man's intention.
"It's the layout map of the Xu family."
Xiao Qi pointed to the main courtyard and said to Lin Yuesha, "Under the bed in Madam Xu's bedroom is the entrance to a secret passage."
Go down the secret passage, which leads to the nearby Protector General's Mansion and the haunted house in the inner city.
"The haunted house was originally the Qi family's residence, and there are still some of my people inside."
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, to ensure everything goes smoothly, since our family and the Xu family are neighbors, and a separate side gate was built between the two residences, we have to thank Madam Xu for her thoughtful consideration.
"You mean..."
At that time, the man with the large mole persistently came to her residence and tricked her into buying the haunted house. Lin Yuesha sensed something strange about it, but she didn't buy it and didn't investigate further.
So, people with big moles can also have pockmarked faces!
"Tell me the truth, who else around me is truly your person?"
It's everywhere, it's all-pervasive!
No wonder Da Zhi appeared just in time to help Wenjun Tower, even at the risk of being misunderstood as a freeloader, to help her escape.
"No, no, is Sister Ziyuan one of yours too?"
Lin Yuesha felt a pang of unease when she recalled seeing Ziyuan at the entrance of the haunted house. Such a beautiful woman—even she, as a woman, couldn't help but be captivated by that stunning face, let alone a man.
She didn't believe it when someone with pockmarked face said they looked down on Ziyuan.
"They're not my people, I have business to discuss."
Xiao Qi originally wanted to tell his younger sister Ziyuan that she was a man, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong. He was attracted to Ziyuan's face. That money-grubbing woman only had that one face to be presentable!
"Oh, Ziyuan is the behind-the-scenes owner of Biancheng Jishetang, and also Wenjun of Wenjunlou."
Not only that, but this was also the notorious thief who once hid on the roof beam. Ziyuan had no bottom line when it came to money, and everything she did was for money.
"Is Sister Ziyuan the owner of Jishetang?"
Lin Yuesha felt her brain couldn't keep up; one thing after another, did it have to be so complicated?
Originally, she had a soft spot for Ziyuan because of her looks, but after learning that Ziyuan was the owner of Jishetang, she lost all goodwill towards her. Making money was not a problem, but she also valued the medical ethics of doctors. Most of the doctors in Jishetang were similar to Qin the doctor with green bead eyes, making money through dirty tricks and being extremely unethical!
"So, try to stay away from this kind of person. You never know when he might sell you out."
Xiao Qi nodded with great satisfaction. He wanted to say something bad about Zi Yuan, but that would seem too deliberate. Just as he was about to change the subject, Lin Yuesha asked, "Sister Zi Yuan is a woman, how can she go to Wenjun Tower?"
No wonder Wenjun, who was wearing a mask that night, looked familiar to Lin Yuesha; it turned out she really was an acquaintance.
Xiao Qi: ...He made an extremely basic mistake.
After getting together with Lin Yuesha, he frequently miscalculated.
"Perhaps it's because... things are peaceful."
Xiao Qi thought for a moment and then made up a random excuse to brush it off.
You scoundrel! You disgusting scoundrel!
Lin Yuesha knew that Ziyuan Ping was flat-chested. For a woman to be told that she was flat-chested was not very hurtful, but it was extremely insulting.
Another question: Did you touch that pockmarked face?
“Sister Yue Sha, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
Xiao Qi shot himself in the foot; the more he explained, the more confused he became, and Lin Yuesha almost misunderstood that he and Ziyuan had some improper relationship.
Even if Ziyuan were a woman, Xiao Qi wouldn't feel anything; he's not superficial.
"Actually, Shion is a man."
Left with no other choice, he told the truth.
His younger sister despised those who made money through dishonest means. Once her reputation plummeted, it was hard to recover. He ruthlessly crushed Ziyuan, so after leaving the capital, he wouldn't have to worry about Ziyuan poaching him.
"So, thick makeup is also for men?"
Lin Yuesha didn't care about Ziyuan, but thought of the heavily powdered maid. No wonder she was dressed strangely. If it were a man covering his skin, it would make sense.
"Yes, he is my cousin Qi Lu."
If word gets out that Ziyuan is a man, it won't be any different from what happens in Shandong and Qilu.
However, Qilu was not on this trip, so he was subsequently responsible for escorting the grain and fodder.
"Bai Cha doesn't know yet, but what if she finds out that her best friend who deceived her feelings was a man..."
Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue. Her pockmarked relative and his men had surrounded her completely. Now, he even believed her when he said that her mother, Chen, was actually one of his hidden subordinates.
"Thank goodness you didn't harm my family."
At least her stepbrother and father are her own people, otherwise she would have suffered too much.
Xiao Qi remained silent, avoiding the question. How could he claim to be her stepbrother?
After parting ways with the pockmarked face, Lin Yuesha calmed down for a while and sighed over white tea all night.
"Miss, you'll have to get up early tomorrow, so you should rest."
Bai Cha stayed behind to keep watch at night, lying fully clothed on the small couch.
"Go to sleep now."
Lin Yuesha yawned and asked, "What would you do if you discovered that your best friend is actually a man?"
"ah?"
Bai Cha never expected her young lady to ask such a tricky question; her best friend couldn't possibly be a man.
The pockmarked man begged her to keep it a secret because Qi Lu had feelings for Bai Cha and wanted to tell Bai Cha himself.
"For example, Longjing tea is a man..."
Then, after spending every day together, one day they suddenly discover they've been deceived.
"Miss, is Longjing a male?"
Bai Cha was startled and sat up. She and Long Jing had washed up together, so Long Jing couldn't possibly be a man.
"I mean, if."
Lin Yuesha had a headache, but she had to keep asking to satisfy her curiosity.
"Then why disguise yourself as a woman? Is there some kind of strange fetish?"
Having a man by her side would damage her reputation. If she were truly forced into physical intimacy, Bai Cha would have no choice but to marry him.
“Miss, since she can become my good sister, her character must be decent.”
Bai Cha was carefree and didn't take it to heart at all. Before long, she was snoring softly.
