Chapter 901 Big Feet
Amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums from the east, a lion dance troupe arrived.
Lin Yuesha pulled Qi Heng forward with great interest, following the lion dance team and clapping and cheering frequently.
This was the most lively Lunar New Year's Eve she had ever experienced. Although her parents and older brother were not by her side, Lin Yuesha did not feel lonely.
"Thank you."
Lin Yuesha thanked Qi Heng. It has to be said that Qi Heng is too good at this; he is indeed talented. If he were to do something so thoughtful, he would probably be just as moved and grateful as she is.
Even if a man like that has a pockmarked face, he won't have trouble finding a wife.
"Come with me."
Leaving the bustling crowd, Qi Heng led Lin Yuesha eastward, where they found a dozen or so cages under a tree.
"What is this for?"
Lin Yuesha approached and was immediately speechless with surprise; she was staring at a tiger cub.
The little tiger's eyes were cold and disdainful. After staring at her for a moment, it turned around and faced away from her.
The monkeys in the cage next to her were quite friendly; they bowed to Lin Yuesha, asking for food.
"This is the zoo you mentioned."
Qi Heng overheard Lin Yuesha mention that in a large area, all the animals were gathered together, kept in cages, and made available for people to see.
What's so interesting about these wild animals?
Qi Heng didn't quite understand, but in order to please Lin Yuesha, he still got it.
Catching tiger cubs is not easy, especially catching them alive and keeping them in cages.
Lin Yuesha was taken aback; she really had just said it offhand.
Modern people are interested in small animals, but in the eyes of the people of Daqi, monkeys are for watching acrobatics, tigers are scary and will eat people, and the rest are all considered wild game.
Qi Heng brought over dozens of animals, and Lin Yuesha felt a chill run down her spine.
Do you like it?
Seeing Lin Yuesha's blank expression, Qi Heng said, "These are all we can find in winter. I doubt you'd be interested in some domestic chickens and ducks."
"I...I like it."
Lin Yuesha told a lie, but regardless, it showed that Qi Heng had put in the effort, and she didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.
"A man like you, if he were to fall in love with a woman, would be a rare and desirable husband in the world."
Lin Yuesha analyzed rationally that everything and everyone has two sides. If Qi Heng is unfaithful, being his wife will be very difficult.
"No, you are you, and others are others."
Qi Heng was resolute; he wouldn't even glance at the other women.
Qi Heng had already learned his lesson from his days of being a nice guy, flirting with women, and getting into trouble for no reason.
He had no choice but to do so at the time to hide it, but now he no longer needs to.
The only thorn in his heart was Qi Heng's identity; he dared not be honest with Lin Yuesha about it.
The two sat chatting, while Yuwen Kun was also enjoying his wedding night.
As the lord of Sishui City was getting married, Yuwen Kun refused to marry into the Helian City government and instead bought a separate residence.
Money makes things easier; in just a few hours, the bedroom was transformed, filled with a festive atmosphere.
Yuwen Kun had seen Qi Heng wash Lin Yuesha's feet, and he kept mentally preparing himself, thinking that if Qi Heng could do it, he could too.
Inside the bridal chamber, a basin of water was placed, and Yuwen Kun was about to take off Miaoyin's shoes.
Miaoyin almost trembled; she dared not.
The city lord of Sishui City took off her shoes and washed her feet. If Yuwen Kun found out that she was the imposter, would she still be able to breathe?
Although Yuwen Kun said he couldn't bear to kill her because of her face, that doesn't mean he wouldn't torture her.
"Lord, perhaps we shouldn't."
Miaoyin tried to evade the question, her heart pounding with anxiety, racking her brains for a way to get away with it.
Lin Yuesha once said that Yuwen Kun had a stubborn personality and needed to be provoked when necessary.
"City Lord, you are you, and Qi Heng is Qi Heng. Why are you arguing with scum?"
Miaoyin thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative.
If Yuwen Kun had simply behaved himself and gotten through his wedding night peacefully, and then left Jinyu Pass without seeing Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha in person, he might have been more normal.
"Now that we are married, isn't the title of City Lord a bit too unfamiliar?"
The ceremony was too small. Once they returned to Sishui City, Yuwen Kun would hold another one, following the customs of the Great Qi Dynasty.
"Husband... my husband."
Miaoyin thought about it and realized that if she didn't comply, Yuwen Kun would start to have all sorts of doubts and suspicions about her.
"It has nothing to do with Qi Heng, I just want to prove my feelings for you."
As Qi Heng said, it is rare for a man to wash a woman's feet. He lowered himself like this just to prove his sincerity.
"Why are you making excuses? Do you think you'd give in just because Qi Heng washes your feet?"
Mentioning Qi Heng made Yuwen Kun extremely jealous, and he became so angry that his face darkened.
Miaoyin opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
"I'm shy."
Miaoyin felt helpless and deeply regretted that her actions had been misunderstood by Yuwen Kun. Now she realized that it wasn't her words and deeds that were out of line, but rather that Yuwen Kun truly had a problem with his mind.
"It's alright, this is my first time too."
Yuwen Kun was somewhat displeased. He had condescended to do so, yet Lin Yuesha was making excuses and was clearly going against him.
"good."
Miao Yin was powerless; Yuwen Kun was unreasonable and too self-centered.
No wonder Lin Yuesha ignored Yuwen Kun and wouldn't even give him a glance.
A wise woman will only choose the person who is best to her. Yuwen Kun's kindness was entirely based on charity.
Both Yuwen Kun and Miaoyin were washing women's feet, but Yuwen Kun's behavior was disliked. However, Miaoyin was an imposter, so there was no choice for him.
"Yue Sha, you wouldn't let your husband wash your feet, so that's why..."
Yuwen Kun smiled and teased, "Don't worry, now that I've married you, I won't mind your big feet."
Miao Yin stopped abruptly, her face turning bright red. With Yuwen Kun's personality, no wonder no woman liked him. He's got something wrong with him!
Women in the Great Qi Dynasty no longer bound their feet, let alone women from other ethnic groups.
Miaoyin was furious at being called big-footed and wanted to refute it, but she dared not offend the plague god in front of her, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
"Look at you, you're giving your husband the cold shoulder again."
Yuwen Kun affectionately pinched Miaoyin's cheek, then frowned; something felt off.
Miaoyin was daydreaming when Yuwen Kun suddenly pinched her cheek, making her tense up.
No matter how good the disguise is, there are still loopholes, and the loophole is near the ears.
Miaoyin broke out in a cold sweat, worried that her secret would be exposed on her wedding night.
"Your makeup is too heavy. Wash it off properly later."
Yuwen Kun patted the powder off his hands and said calmly, "Husbands and wives should be honest with each other."
In his eyes, no matter how beautiful the little girl was, she couldn't compare to him, and it would be better for her to keep her original appearance.
Miaoyin was speechless. She and Yuwen Kun lived under the same roof. If she didn't rebel, she might be driven mad by him. Miaoyin belatedly realized that she was already abnormal.
The atmosphere was suffocating. Yuwen Kun insisted on a foot massage, and Miaoyin screamed and wailed incessantly. She would rather die than continue this job!
