Chapter 742 Your word doesn't count
Meanwhile, in a room of the inn, Li Ruoshuang was kneeling on the ground, and in front of her stood a tall man.
The man played with an apple with great interest, then squeezed it in his hand, and the apple quickly shrank into a ball, with the juice flowing into the bowl.
"She loves apple juice so much, do you think she'd be interested if I performed this magic trick for her?"
Yuwen Kun's eyes were covered with a black ribbon. In order to conceal his naturally blue eyes, he had been pretending to be blind since arriving in Daqi.
No one who saw his eyes was not terrified; they all thought he was a demon. Only Lin Yuesha praised his eyes as beautiful, saying the little girl wasn't afraid.
"meeting."
Li Ruoshuang's kneeling body trembled slightly, and her head drooped even lower. It was this unpredictable man who made her submit and couldn't help but want to do things for him, even at the cost of her life.
Anyway, he wouldn't even glance at her.
"It's noisy upstairs, and you've shown up again?"
Yuwen Kun took off his blindfold and stared at the juice in the bowl. There wasn't enough; it seemed he would have to take more apples this time.
"yes."
Li Ruoshuang had consulted Yuwen Kun, but he didn't give any instructions. On the contrary, he thought the game was very interesting, so they continued.
"Prefect Bai is a two-faced man. On one hand, he secretly communicates with me, the city lord, and on the other hand, he has his son curry favor with the Wei family. Does he really think that joining forces with the Wei family can protect my Sishui City?"
Yuwen Kun grabbed another apple, which instantly turned into a puddle of pulp.
Those who scheme against him will ultimately be worse than apples; he will grind them to dust.
"Master, why did you return that batch of goods?"
Li Ruoshuang was unaware of the truth. After arriving in Licheng with the others, she was quite surprised to receive this news.
"Why? This city lord has been tricked by Bai Dingfeng!"
Mentioning this makes Yuwen Kun furious. He contributed manpower and effort, and even helped with the transportation, but all he got was a box of cloth. The rest was all dirt and scraps of cloth. What use was that?
"Bai Dingfeng is quite the schemer. He even managed to outmaneuver me by targeting military supplies and sending someone to play tricks on me with a batch of counterfeit goods..."
Yuwen Kun narrowed his eyes. He remembered it and was determined to return it.
"Has that batch of fabric already been sent away?"
Li Ruoshuang found it hard to believe; in her eyes, Bai Dingfeng was just a scholar, how could he possibly have such a mind?
"Yes, they were transported by waterway, and it's too late to catch up now."
If that's the case, then we'll wait until Qincheng to make our move.
Downstairs, Wei Lan and Bai Dingfeng started arguing, the couple bickering as if no one else was around.
"All treacherous men are scholars, and scholars are cunning; Bai Dingfeng has truly mastered this art."
Yuwen Kun listened intently, a playful smile playing on his lips. "It's your turn to show yourself and gain Bai Dingfeng's trust. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. Someone will protect your safety."
As for how to obtain it, that depends on Li Ruoshuang's abilities.
"yes."
Li Ruoshuang felt a pang of pain in her heart and replied.
Bai Dingfeng swallowed up Li Ruoxue's large dowry. Bai Dingfeng was a ruthless man. He sold off the former shop deeds and land deeds, leaving Li Ruoxue with nothing.
This score will have to be settled sooner or later.
Li Ruoshuang gently closed the door and sighed wistfully.
He saved her; he is her master. Should she have any unrealistic fantasies?
He even...
Li Ruoshuang closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and went upstairs.
"A ghost, Li Ruoxue...a ghost!"
Wei Lan was attacking Bai Dingfeng when she glanced at the wall and noticed a woman in red standing at the end of the corridor. Terrified, she cried out, "The ghost is here again!"
"Where are the ghosts?"
Bai Dingfeng was about to scold Wei Lan when he turned around and froze on the spot.
He blinked, thinking the person in front of him would disappear, but they didn't.
"Brother-in-law, it's me."
Li Ruoshuang spoke up, revealing her identity.
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan understood immediately and angrily retorted, "You little hussy, how dare you harm me?"
Li Ruoxue has a twin sister, but she died long ago. Wei Lan investigated the Li family's background and was surprised to find that Li Ruoshuang was still alive.
Wei Lan reached out and gestured towards Li Ruoshuang's face, but Bai Dingfeng intercepted her mid-air, shouting, "Wei Lan, that's enough!"
"Bai Dingfeng, this little vixen is trying to scare me by pretending to be a ghost. What do you mean I've had enough?"
Wei Lan stared wide-eyed, realizing that she could see the man in front of her less and less clearly. Was he still the handsome and refined young master Bai?
After getting to know him, I found that Bai Dingfeng was unpredictable, two-faced, and a womanizer.
"Ruoshuang, you..."
Bai Dingfeng stepped forward, standing between Wei Lan and Li Ruoshuang, and asked, "What happened to you..."
"So you're not dead?"
Li Ruoshuang gave a bitter smile, "Back then, I thought my sister wanted to marry you, so she plotted against me. Actually, I misunderstood her."
Li Ruoshuang's fabricated story was exactly the same as Bai Youran's: she came to the capital to visit relatives and learned that her sister had hanged herself.
"Brother-in-law, my sister is devoted to you and is carrying your child. If it weren't for Miss Wei's actions, she wouldn't have been so heartbroken..."
Li Ruoshuang broke down in tears as she spoke of her sorrows, and with nowhere else to go, she could only return to Yingcheng.
"It's not safe for a woman like you to travel like this."
Bai Dingfeng was somewhat tempted when he saw the face that looked exactly like Li Ruoxue's.
People are perhaps most afraid of comparison. He had no feelings for Li Ruoxue. After marrying the even more foolish and pretentious Wei Lan, he began to reminisce about his honeymoon with Li Ruoxue.
"So, I've been following you all this way."
Li Ruoshuang wiped away her tears; she wanted to travel with Bai Dingfeng.
"impossible!"
Wei Lan immediately retorted that she could not possibly take Li Ruoshuang with her; just seeing that face made her feel incredibly disgusted!
Li Ruoxue was alive and made her take the blame, but now that she's finally dead, Wei Lan doesn't hold grudges against the dead. Before she could even enjoy her good days for two days, a younger sister who looks exactly like her suddenly appeared!
Her brother-in-law and sister-in-law were traveling together; was she not allowed to overthink things?
"Your opinion doesn't count."
Bai Dingfeng stopped looking at Wei Lan and comforted Li Ruoshuang, saying, "Don't be sad. Ruoxue has her own reasons. Since you call me brother-in-law, I should take care of you."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Li Ruoshuang wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said emotionally.
Lin Yuesha watched the show from the sidelines. She hadn't expected Li Ruoshuang to expose her identity so quickly, and not only that, she could also legitimately travel with the group.
Having enjoyed the spectacle, Lin Yuesha returned to her room to ponder Li Ruoshuang's intentions.
"Miss, we've racked our brains but still can't figure it out. Anyway, Li Ruoshuang will show her true colors sooner or later."
Bai Cha disliked Wei Lan's arrogance and looked down on Bai Dingfeng even more. It was rare to see a man with such poor character!
She now has a phobia of intellectuals. The most shameless thing about these people is that they refuse to admit they are scum and instead try to whitewash themselves and glorify themselves. They are shameless to the extreme!
Look, he brought Li Ruoshuang along, clearly with ulterior motives. He even used the pretext of taking care of his deceased wife Li Ruoxue's younger sister, speaking with such righteous indignation, bah!
