Chapter 875 are all imposters
Ever since he drugged Yuwen Kun with the drug "Fish and Water Pleasure," Helian Cheng has felt indebted to him. The news that has just arrived is unfavorable to his side and may very well arouse Yuwen Kun's suspicion.
The best solution is for Miaoyin to intervene and dispel Yuwen Kun's doubts; otherwise, once the seed of doubt is planted, it will become a hidden danger sooner or later.
How could Helian Cheng convince Yuwen Kun that the person beside Qi Heng was an imposter? He was at his wit's end.
“Lord Yuwen, you know Qi Heng’s character well; he’s probably just making things up.”
Helian Cheng quickly found an excuse. After he captured Lin Yuesha, the Daqi side went quiet for a while and there was no news. With the Lunar New Year's Eve approaching, it was no longer possible to hide it. Qi Heng took the opportunity to make up a fake story to fool people.
"Qi Heng has a skilled person around him who makes human skin masks, and perhaps he made Lin Yuesha's mask."
Yuwen Kun pondered as Li Ruoshuang helped Lin Yuesha wash up. She clearly saw the tattoo on her chest, a mark he had left behind. No one knew her better than him.
He only needs to go to the border of Daqi to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Recently, Lin Yuesha has been by his side, and the two get along without any awkwardness. The little girl is still the same as before, flattering him like crazy for benefits, and her cooking skills are superb. She always comes up with quirky and ingenious ideas.
Helian Cheng racked his brains, wondering how to persuade Yuwen Kun, but Yuwen Kun simply didn't believe that Miaoyin was a fake.
Having easily resolved the immediate crisis, Helian Cheng became elated again.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, each with their own thoughts, Yuwen Kun brought up the serious matter.
"There are still a few days until Lunar New Year's Eve. In the past, when I was in Sishui City, the steward of the city lord's mansion would prepare the New Year's goods."
Lunar New Year's Eve was no different for Yuwen Kun. He was still drinking alone. While his family and friends celebrated the New Year, he felt even more alone.
Staying in Jinyuguan this year, with a beautiful woman by his side, Yuwen Kun has to put in extra effort to please Lin Yuesha.
The little girl loved going to the market to buy snacks and watch variety shows. In the past, there were also lantern festivals in the north during the New Year. Yuwen Kun made careful preparations to give Lin Yuesha an extraordinary New Year's Eve.
"Lord Yuwen, do you mean you want to invite folk artisans to your residence to pay New Year's respects to Miss Lin?"
Helian Cheng roughly understood and was quite surprised by Yuwen Kun's efforts. It seemed that Miaoyin had done a good job; even someone as aloof as Yuwen Kun was willing to change for her.
"Yes, but I am a guest at your residence and I am not familiar with Jinyu Pass..."
Yuwen Kun didn't say the second half of his sentence. What to do next depends on whether Helian Cheng has the sense to read the room.
He was given a drug called "Fish and Water Pleasure," so he had to make amends. If he did well, he would pretend nothing had happened and stop caring.
“Lord Yuwen, you are an honored guest of the manor. Your small request is nothing at all.”
Helian Cheng immediately agreed and summoned Hanlu to plan the plan. Hanlu knew more about women's preferences than he did.
“There’s an old man in the north of the city who keeps a monkey. The monkey is very intelligent and lovable. Why don’t we bring the old man and the monkey to your residence to keep Miss Lin entertained?”
Hanlu was familiar with the artisans in Jinyuguan, knowing who made sugar paintings, who sculpted dough figurines, who played the suona and hulusi, and who could throw darts with perfect accuracy.
However, it's pointless to invite them to your home. Since they are folk artisans, it's best for them to return to the folk.
What does this mean?
Yuwen Kun didn't understand Hanlu's meaning, but he saw that the male concubine beside Helian Cheng was quick-witted and had many bad ideas, so he was willing to listen to what he had to say.
“Lord Yuwen, folk craftsmen are timid and have never been invited before. They are hesitant to perform freely in your mansion.”
The meaning of Cold Dew is that those people are nervous. If they come to the mansion and mess things up, whether to deal with them or not during the New Year will only add bad luck.
"Hanlu has some connection with the only son of Master Li in the north of the city. On New Year's Eve, Master Li will be getting married and will be holding a grand banquet. He has invited a talented person from Jinyuguan to perform on stage. Why don't you take Miss Lin to join in the fun?"
Jin Yuguan's wedding has its own customs, and holding it on such an important day shows how much the man values the woman. Yuwen Kun will marry Lin Yuesha sooner or later, so he might as well go and share in the joy.
It must be said that Hanlu is very good at capturing people's hearts. Upon hearing that he was going to attend the ceremony, Yuwen Kun immediately agreed.
"Since you've come to witness the ceremony, I, the city lord, can't just eat and drink for free. I'll trouble Lord Helian to help me prepare a congratulatory gift."
After Yuwen Kun finished speaking, he strode out the door.
As soon as he left, Helian Cheng, who had been on edge, relaxed immediately.
Being in the same room with Yuwen Kun made Helian Cheng feel very pressured, and he unconsciously became very cautious.
"Hanlu, you really have a way with things."
After dismissing the powerful figure with a few words, Helian Cheng stood up, stretched, and asked in bewilderment, "Master, I just don't understand, what is it about Lin Yuesha that makes Yuwen Kun so concerned?"
It's not surprising that a man tries to win a woman's heart, but the problem is that this man is Yuwen Kun, a ruthless and bloodthirsty demon.
Moreover, Miaoyin and Yuwen Kun had not yet consummated their marriage; their relationship was completely innocent.
Yuwen Kun was poisoned by the Fish and Water Pleasure, but he preferred to bleed himself out, which he saw as a way to show respect for Lin Yuesha.
Helian Cheng could never understand Yuwen Kun's thoughts; why make himself suffer?
"Sir, as you said yourself, it's better to steal than to steal what you can't have. Before you've tasted the sweetness, you'll always have fantasies."
Hanlu felt uneasy. If the person beside Qi Heng was real, she didn't know how long Miaoyin could keep it a secret.
"hey-hey."
Helian Cheng chuckled twice. He didn't believe his subordinates would dare to deceive him. After careful consideration, he concluded that Lin Yuesha was dead.
"You mean, the people around Qi Heng are also imposters?"
If the cold dew stops, then Miaoyin has a great advantage.
"Yes, they're all imposters. It's all about who has the better acting skills."
Helian Cheng regained his confidence in Miaoyin and urged Hanlu, "In a couple of days, Yuwen Kun will take her out. She's going to attend a ceremony at Master Li's place. When will we get to the sequel to Journey to the West?"
Since following Yuwen Kun, Miaoyin has become increasingly bold, to the point that even her master, Helian Cheng, has to beg his subordinate for favors.
There was no other way; Miaoyin was certain he wouldn't dare reveal the truth, and not only that, she had to do everything she could to help cover for him.
After thinking about it, Helian Cheng felt a bit aggrieved again.
Meanwhile, Yuwen Kun returned to the courtyard, where Li Ruoshuang stopped him and told him about the news from Wucheng.
"Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha were very high-profile, eating at the banquet with the villagers and enjoying themselves with the people."
Li Ruoshuang frowned and analyzed that this matter seemed deliberate no matter how you looked at it, especially Qi Heng, who was always relatively low-key. There must be something fishy about this unusual behavior. Was he trying to let people know that he had a very good relationship with Lin Yuesha?
Perhaps Qi Heng already knew that the city lord was at Jinyu Pass and was trying to set a trap.
"Of course he knows."
Yuwen Kun was certain that Xu Da had been rescued, and only Qi Heng had the ability to do so. Since Qi Heng had an inside man in Helian City's mansion, would it be difficult to find out if he was there?
