Chapter 837 Saving the Day
Li Ruoshuang made veiled accusations, but Lin Yuesha, who wasn't hard of hearing, heard them clearly. However, she didn't care much, otherwise it would be tantamount to admitting that she was a vixen.
"Miss Li, please calm down. This was done by Yun Ge alone, and Yun Ge is willing to take responsibility."
After Yun Ge finished speaking, she obediently lowered her head, looking completely helpless.
Who is Miss Li?
Lin Yuesha poured herself a cup of hot tea to warm her stomach. She didn't know that there were other young ladies besides her, but there was a maid surnamed Li.
"Lin Yuesha, don't be so presumptuous..."
Provoked, Li Ruoshuang couldn't help herself and called Lin Yuesha by her full name. She wanted to complain to Yuwen Kun, but seeing Yuwen Kun's indifferent expression, her heart skipped a beat.
Since following Yuwen Kun, Li Ruoshuang has considered herself to understand him, believing that he, like her, is a person with a tragic fate.
Li Ruoshuang is the shadow of Li Ruoxue, and Yuwen Kun was abused by his own father, so much so that the first thing he did after he became powerful was to kill his father and take the throne.
Yuwen Kun usually smiles, and when he doesn't show much expression, it actually means he cares a lot.
“Miss Lin, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have disrespected my superior.”
Li Ruoshuang knelt down with a thud. She reminded herself that the master hadn't had enough of Lin Yuesha yet and was currently in a state of interest. Going against Lin Yuesha would not do her any good.
Yuwen Kun glanced at Li Ruoshuang from the main seat, but remained silent.
"Lord of the city, I just went out for a while, how did such a big scene happen? Could it be that someone tried to assassinate me?"
Lin Yuesha looked around; the tables, chairs, and benches were neatly arranged, which didn't seem right.
Where is the woman who sang the folk song last time?
Yuwen Kun was silent for a moment, then said bluntly, "Bring her here, and I, the city lord, will not punish you."
Since it wasn't his own territory, Yuwen Kun didn't want to cause a scene.
On that day, there was an assassination attempt by men in black, and people from Yunzhao Pavilion were also performing on stage. A beautiful woman surrounded in the middle, though her face was covered by a veil, had eyes that Yuwen Kun found inexplicably familiar.
He had been preoccupied with this question, and when he invited the people from Yunzhao Pavilion to perform again, the problem arose.
Yun Ge and Yun Duo have the exact same voice. The people from Yun Zhao Pavilion are really something else. They're putting on a show right in front of Helian Cheng and him. They've got some nerve, lip-syncing like that.
Yuwen Kun is investigating this matter; he wants that cloud.
Lin Yuesha turned her head and rubbed her face. She was so close, so very close, to losing her disguise. Thankfully, she managed to revert to her original identity in time, which unexpectedly became her best means of protection.
Gold always shines, and even if it was buried among the people of Yunzhao Pavilion, it was still discovered by Yuwen Kun.
“Lord Yuwen, Yun Duo’s voice is damaged, so we had no choice but to improvise. Moreover, she is timid and was terrified by the men in black. It is said that she has been in a daze and has been unconscious for the past few days.”
Yunluo stepped forward and explained the reasons clearly. Although what she did was wrong, it was understandable.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, Yun Duo is related to Granny Hua, so we dare not offend her."
Yunxiang thought for a moment and attributed it all to the scheming and infighting among women. Sure enough, Yuwen Kun frowned and became somewhat impatient after hearing this.
Women who only know how to play petty tricks are incapable of achieving great things, simply because they are narrow-minded.
"You may all leave."
Yuwen Kun refused to look at the crowd any longer and chased them all away. He pointed to Lin Yuesha beside him and said, "You sing a little tune."
"I won't sing."
Lin Yuesha refused decisively; she wasn't a prostitute.
Young ladies from respectable families learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but singing folk songs is not included in their studies.
"Sing or not?"
Yuwen Kun picked up his wine glass, his voice soft but with a hint of a smile.
Here we go again, with threats. Threats, always threats.
Yuwen Kun has many ways to torture people. If Lin Yuesha doesn't speak, she will probably be coerced into singing all night.
"You want to save Xu Da, right? Then you should know how to do it."
If you know what's good for you, Lin Yuesha will only sing for him. If you don't listen...
What if you don't listen?
Lin Yuesha took a deep breath, wanting to know the consequences.
"Tonight, I'll have someone escort you around Helian's mansion. With every step you take, you have to sing a line, or you'll be whipped."
Yuwen Kun was so excited and overjoyed that he thought of a way to torment people that he couldn't sleep at night and tortured everyone in Helian Cheng's mansion.
Lin Yuesha almost dropped her jaw. She seriously suspected that Li Ruoshuang had some kind of masochistic tendency, that she was so deeply in love with Yuwen Kun, and that she couldn't find anyone more perverted than him!
Just as Lin Yuesha was about to speak, the kitchen lady came to her rescue.
"Lord Yuwen."
After the old woman entered, she held up the small box with both hands, knelt down and said respectfully, "Our city lord heard that your wedding with Miss Lin is imminent, so he specially sent this old servant to deliver some congratulatory gifts to express his heartfelt wishes."
They've arrived; Helian Cheng's things have come.
When her singing was interrupted, Lin Yuesha felt as if she had escaped death.
"Lord Helian is so thoughtful."
Yuwen Kun gestured for Li Ruoshuang to put the box away and exchanged a few polite words.
As soon as the old woman left, Lin Yuesha immediately approached her and said obsequiously, "City Lord, did Lord Helian give this to me?"
Li Ruoshuang opened the box, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the jewelry inside. Even though the Li family was extremely wealthy, she had never seen such a large sapphire.
"want to?"
Yuwen Kun looked at Lin Yuesha and asked with a smile, his voice tinged with affection.
"Um."
Of course she wanted it. These pieces of jewelry were something Lin Yuesha had fought for herself. Because it was not appropriate for them to appear out of thin air, Helian Cheng went to great lengths to find a pretext.
"Then I'll give them all to you."
Yuwen Kun waved his hand, and Li Ruoshuang reluctantly handed over the jewelry. She liked it too, so why should only Lin Yuesha benefit from it?
"Because he is the future wife of the city lord of Sishui City."
Seemingly seeing through Li Ruoshuang's thoughts, Yuwen Kun emphasized each word carefully.
He doesn't care if Li Ruoshuang has ulterior motives, but if she dares to target Lin Yuesha, he has a thousand ways to make Li Ruoshuang regret being alive.
A lowly servant, so insignificant as to be dispensable, has no right to have other thoughts.
When the small box was handed to her, Lin Yuesha smiled. Actually, she was a little worried that Yuwen Kun would keep the jewelry, and then all her efforts would have been in vain.
"Now that we've given you the jewelry, shouldn't we get back to our previous topic? You should sing a little tune now."
Inside the room, incense and candles were lit. Yuwen Kun lay half-reclined on the small couch, his eyes slightly narrowed, waiting for Lin Yuesha to sing a lullaby to lull him to sleep.
Sure enough, she couldn't escape it. As soon as Lin Yuesha opened her mouth, Li Ruoshuang was so startled that she knocked over the teapot.
"Alright, you can go now."
Yuwen Kun wished he could cover his ears immediately. No wonder the little girl was so hesitant; she was clearly beautiful and had a lovely voice, but the moment Lin Yuesha opened her mouth…
Yuwen Kun was terrified and couldn't find the words to describe it.
