Chapter 867 Can't Steal
Before Qi Heng left, he gave Miao Yin a special training session, thoroughly analyzing Lin Yuesha's daily habits, preferences, and even her way of thinking.
After catching up on her studies for a few days, Miaoyin was tested by Qi Heng and passed the test. She was unlikely to be exposed for the time being.
Miaoyin thought everything was fine and just wanted to get through the year, but she soon faced a big problem.
She went out in the middle of the night to deliver a letter to the kitchen.
Miaoyin and Qi Heng made a pact that if they had any problems, they could write a letter and slip it into a corner, and they would receive a solution the next day.
Miaoyin knew that Qi Heng's men had been hiding in the mansion.
Unexpectedly, when he went out in the middle of the night, trying to hide his figure furtively, he encountered Hanlu instead.
"Miaoyin, I never knew you had such talent. You've really put me and the master in a difficult position."
During the Lunar New Year, I wrote the beginning and left a cliffhanger, but I didn't write the sequel. Helian Cheng and Hanlu were so upset about it that they couldn't eat or drink.
Miao Yin smiled bitterly, knowing that impersonating Lin Yuesha was not so simple. Not only had it caused Helian Cheng and Han Lu great trouble, but she was also the first to suffer.
Miaoyin has already written a follow-up letter and is preparing to deliver it to the kitchen.
She estimated in her mind that after receiving the reply, the other party would have to send someone to deliver the message to Daqi, which would take at least two or three days.
Conservatively estimated, Helian Cheng and Hanlu will not receive any further updates within three days.
When Hanlu came to visit, Miaoyin had no choice but to go with him to see Helian Cheng.
"Miaoyin, has Yuwen Kun acted strangely?"
Regarding the misunderstanding caused by their playful interaction, Helian Cheng felt it necessary to explain that this was not his intention.
"Sir, what does this have to do with you? It was Aunt Jing who made the decision on her own."
Helian Cheng took the initiative to apologize, and Miaoyin responded with trepidation.
Whoever came up with this terrible idea is so talented! They should have just written Journey to the West themselves. Why would they need to ask her for help?
Drugging, using sperm donation, keeping hostages by one's side—these are enough to write a melodramatic novel. There's nothing that Miaoyin wouldn't dare to think of, and nothing that Helian Cheng wouldn't dare to do.
Lin Yuesha was the one who was drugged by the "Fish and Water Pleasure" drug, while Miaoyin was imprisoned by Qi Heng and was not affected.
"It was because she took it upon herself that I discovered something unusual."
Helian Cheng recently sent people to monitor Jing Da Niang's son, Jing Er, and discovered that he was often accompanied by a female entertainer named Yun Xiang.
Yunxiang's background is not hard to find out. She is a vicious woman who poisoned her uncle's family to death and then took the initiative to give money and gifts to please Aunt Jing, becoming Aunt Jing's prospective daughter-in-law.
Helian Cheng couldn't remember Yunxiang's older brother anymore.
He robbed at least dozens of civilians; who remembers that insignificant one?
"Are you saying that Yunxiang approached Aunt Jing to sabotage things and try to get revenge?"
Miaoyin quickly accepted this explanation; it was a message Qi Heng had given her before he left.
With Helian Cheng's abilities, finding out Yunxiang's background would not be difficult.
"They're all minor characters; we can just get rid of them when we get the chance."
Helian Cheng had countless enemies, so he didn't care what kind of trouble a woman could cause. However, Aunt Jing's actions made him suspect that someone around him had betrayed him.
The tunnel, containing hidden treasures, was looted a few days ago. So many people came; who did it? Helian Cheng was completely baffled.
"My lord, it seems that City Lord Yuwen has a very special feeling for Lin Yuesha."
Miaoyin returned to Yuwen Kun's side, and every morning, Yuwen Kun had to see her and sit with her for a meal.
In the afternoon, Yuwen Kun would lock himself in his room and not let anyone in.
During dinner, the two were together again, and Yuwen Kun even took the initiative to serve her food, showing her meticulous care.
This is a far cry from when she first came to Yuwen Kun's side, and Miaoyin is still not used to it.
Having deceived Yuwen Kun, he also had to appease Helian Cheng; surviving in such a precarious situation was no easy feat.
Miaoyin was puzzled as to how Lin Yuesha managed to take her place so perfectly, at least when Helian Cheng summoned her several times without her noticing.
"You don't need to worry about that. Yuwen Kun is staying in his room making a beauty lamp. The hair of the woman on the lamp was cut from Yun Luo's hair."
Helian Cheng clicked his tongue twice. Such adherence to male virtues was probably unparalleled in his foreign tribe's Jinyu Pass.
Li Ruoshuang couldn't get into bed, and Yun Luo was killed before she could even make a move.
What's even more interesting is that Yuwen Kun was so weak that he couldn't even kill ants and had to rely on Li Ruoshuang for help. He was very afraid that Yun Luo would take advantage of him.
"The better he treats Lin Yuesha, the more value you can bring to the table."
Helian Cheng patted Miaoyin on the shoulder and promised, "As long as you hide well enough so that Yuwen Kun can't detect it, I will release your whole family after it's done."
For someone whose ancestors were slaves, nothing is more tempting than freedom, and even Miaoyin couldn't help but get excited.
But keeping it hidden all the time is easier said than done!
At first, Yuwen Kun was relatively normal, ordering her around, but now it's different; he really treats her like a precious gem.
Miaoyin was almost tempted by Yuwen Kun's change. If she hadn't clearly realized that she was a substitute, she would have been completely powerless against Yuwen Kun.
“Miaoyin, you are you, and Lin Yuesha is Lin Yuesha. What is fake can never become real.”
Helian Cheng poured cold water on the idea, saying that women are always emotional, and if Miaoyin continues to interact with Yuwen Kun, she might be turned against him, giving Helian Cheng another adversary. He reminded her, "Think about your family."
"My lord, I understand your meaning."
Miaoyin immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Helian Cheng, indicating that she was Helian Cheng's subordinate and had no ulterior motives.
She was waiting for an answer. If what Qi Heng said was true, he would find a way to make arrangements for her family, and Miaoyin would then acknowledge Qi Heng as her master.
Helian Cheng's words sounded nice, but in reality, the whole thing about having her impersonate Lin Yuesha was full of loopholes and couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
If Lin Yuesha hadn't arrived, Miaoyin would have been killed long ago, her body torn to pieces.
"You are a smart person."
Helian Cheng was very satisfied and advised, "As a man, who understands men better than me? There's a saying in the Great Qi Dynasty: a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen one, and a stolen one is not as good as one you can't have."
For someone like Yuwen Kun, something is only truly precious if it's impossible to steal.
"He treats you like a treasure, why? Because you are not yet his woman."
To continue enjoying the benefits, you must master one trick: feign indifference to lure the prey.
Only by maintaining a distance, leaving Yuwen Kun confused, can his interest be further piqued.
"He kills without blinking an eye, but he's also incredibly stubborn."
Through observation, Helian Cheng discovered that Yuwen Kun knew nothing and was more naive than a blank sheet of paper when it came to matters of love between men and women.
If you've got your eye on Lin Yuesha, why not make a move first and go to sleep? What are you waiting for?
"He must really like Lin Yuesha, that's why he did that."
Miaoyin was very envious. She had never met such a man, let alone someone of such high status and power as Yuwen Kun.
