Chapter 826 A Deadly Question
Lin Yuesha deliberately looked away from the person with the large mole, which made her even more certain that it was Qi Heng who had come.
"It seems things are about to get messy."
Lin Yuesha was multitasking, lip-syncing while keeping her mind alert. If anyone came to rescue Xu Da, she was ready to run away as fast as she could and get away from trouble first.
With Qi Heng around, Lin Yuesha felt inexplicably at ease and gained confidence.
"Lord Yuwen, the whole roasted lamb today has been prepared in a different way by everyone in the manor."
The mutton is not slaughtered and roasted on the spot, but is first braised in a large iron pot with seasonings and then smoked, which gives it a unique flavor.
"Okay, prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Yuwen Kun turned to Miaoyin and said, "Lord Helian has always boasted about the culinary skills of his servants. He has been bragging to me about it for the past two days. Little girl, why don't you try some?"
The woman he was going to marry, the future wife of the city lord, was dining with Helian Cheng; that was giving Helian Cheng face.
He used Lin Yuesha to pour the wine, but he also felt sorry for her, worried that she might be too tired.
"Very good, City Lord Yuwen is indeed a man who cherishes women. In this respect, he is far superior to Qi Heng."
Helian Cheng clapped his hands and laughed, and hurriedly ordered his servants. When he saw that the strong man and the stutterer had carried the whole roasted lamb and were still not leaving, he quickly gestured to the two of them, "You idiots, you're embarrassing me!"
However, the burly man, his heart fluttering with lust, stole a glance at Lin Yuesha. The little tune she sang was so beautiful. His mother was right after all. If he married Yun Duo, she would sing the tune whenever he wanted, saving him a lot of money.
In addition, since Yunduo is in Yunzhao Pavilion, her dowry will definitely be substantial.
"Hurry up and bring out the bowls and chopsticks!"
Helian Cheng raised his voice, making the burly man sense some danger. He snapped out of his daze and quickly agreed.
Helian Cheng was too lazy to bother with his subordinates, so he turned his gaze to Miaoyin and asked with a hint of warning in his words, "Miss Lin, between City Lord Yuwen and Qi Heng, who do you prefer?"
Miao Yin shuddered; this was a question that could cost her her life.
Not only was Miaoyin in a difficult position, but Lin Yuesha herself also found it difficult to express her affection for Qi Heng in this situation.
Given her obsequious nature, she would choose blue eyes without hesitation; her life is more important.
"Of course... of course it's City Lord Yuwen."
Miao Yin answered reluctantly, saying that whether it was true or false, it would be enough to please Yuwen Kun.
Yuwen Kun rarely smiled, and said, "Do you still remember our previous agreement?"
He will come to pick Lin Yuesha up when she comes of age; he's not just saying it.
"I...I remember."
Miaoyin stammered in response, her heart aching. The disguise technique had made her look exactly like Lin Yuesha, but the two were not the same in personality.
If I had known this would happen, I should have pretended to have hit my head and lost my memory. That would have been much easier to deal with, and I would have gained more pity from Yuwen Kun.
Why didn't I think of that back then? Miaoyin regretted it deeply.
Lin Yuesha coldly watched Miaoyin's pretentious act, inwardly mocking her. This terrible idea was something no one but Helian Cheng could have come up with. Did they think Yuwen Kun was so easily fooled?
Sensing a faint light, Lin Yuesha quickly shifted her gaze and made a few gestures. She noticed that Yunxiang was making frequent mistakes, but with her years of experience, Yunxiang had managed to get away with it quite well.
What exactly does Yunxiang want to do?
Lin Yuesha was on edge, ready to escape at any moment.
At the climax of the song and dance, a sudden gust of wind blew the door open, and before everyone could react, a group of men in black rushed in through the doorway.
"Helian Cheng, you're going to pay with your life!"
The leader, holding a short sword, charged straight in, heading straight for Helian Cheng's face.
"ah!"
The singing and dancing had to stop, and the sisters of Yunzhao Pavilion were scrambling to find places to hide, crying and begging for help.
Who are you?
Helian Cheng was not in a hurry. He calmly sat in the main seat and drank, without moving an inch.
"The one who acts on behalf of Heaven wants your dog's life!"
A dozen or so men entered, pushed aside the woman blocking their way, their target clear: they only wanted Helian Cheng's life.
Even so, swords and spears have no eyes, so Lin Yuesha quickly retreated and hid in a corner.
The gate was closed, but was opened again by the sisters of Yunzhao Pavilion. Yun Luo and the others strode out and found that there were also men in black in the courtyard, killing the guards of Helian City's mansion.
"Yun Ge, quickly find a place to hide!"
Lin Yuesha pushed Yun Ge, hoping to hide in the chaos and avoid being accidentally injured. It seemed that this enemy was no ordinary person.
"Clouds, what about you?"
Yun Ge was worried about her young mistress, but Lin Yuesha refused to say anything. Instead, she pushed Yun Ge towards Yun Luo.
"Yun Ge, are you crazy? Do you want to die?"
Yunluo was quick and agile, running the fastest. She grabbed Yunge's hand and strode forward.
Chaos erupted in the courtyard. Lin Yuesha saw Yunxiang running as well. The moment Yunxiang ran out, a leather-wrapped object fell from her waist.
Lin Yuesha picked it up but didn't open it.
"Walk."
Qi Heng stood behind Lin Yuesha to protect her. These people seemed to outnumber him, but they were no match for Helian Cheng. They were probably bribed to assassinate him, not well-trained assassins.
The situation was already under control, but Helian Cheng deliberately pretended to flee to lower the guard of the men in black, so as to find out their identities.
The two ran to a secluded corner. Lin Yuesha, panting heavily, rubbed her shoulder and said, "I haven't heard from you. Have you been hiding in Helian City's mansion?"
"There is a traitor in the Great Qi army. I have come to find out the truth."
When the two met, Qi Heng had a lot to say, but now he had to answer Lin Yuesha's question. If he didn't explain clearly, Lin Yuesha wouldn't let him off the hook.
“I know that.”
It was too cold, so Lin Yuesha suggested that they find a place to warm themselves by the fire and have something to eat before returning to the Yunzhao Pavilion sisters' lodging.
Today's banquet was completely disrupted by the men in black.
"I'm not sure how long Helian City will keep the people from Yunzhao Pavilion here."
Lin Yuesha was panting heavily. Qi Heng also saw it. Someone was impersonating her to get close to Yuwen Kun. It must be a ploy by Helian Cheng. This person is cunning and extremely dislikes taking the right path. He always resorts to crooked and evil tricks and doesn't play by the rules.
"That's not right. You weren't surprised at all when you saw that imposter. Did you know beforehand?"
Qi Heng entered the room, appearing overly calm.
Lin Yuesha was at least slightly surprised, but Qi Heng was not.
"I'm marrying you. Do you think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your face?"
Qi Heng once said that he was attracted to Lin Yuesha as a person, not just by her face. Liking someone's appearance is merely superficial and shallow.
No matter how convincingly Miaoyin disguised herself, she was not Lin Yuesha herself; he could tell she was a fake at a glance.
What is fake can never become real.
"You're amazing."
Lin Yuesha believed what Qi Heng said, but she was still shocked. For a moment, she suspected that her mother, Chen, had given birth to twins, and that she and Miaoyin were long-lost sisters.
