Chapter 946 Photographic Memory
Qi Heng was speechless, because he realized that no matter how he explained, he couldn't change the fact that he had slighted his wife.
"Admit your mistake quickly, and don't feel ashamed."
The seventh brother was very worried and said earnestly, "Brother, let me teach you another trick to make your wife feel secure. The key is to give her money, but never hide any money from her."
"Thanks, brother."
Qi Heng clasped his hands in a fist salute, then strode into the room; he didn't want to be nagged anymore.
Lin Yuesha didn't sleep soundly during her short nap at noon. She heard a noise at the door, so she quickly opened her eyes and saw Qi Heng enter the courtyard.
"how's it going?"
Lin Yuesha left Qi Heng a bowl of chicken leg meat and made soup noodles with ginseng chicken soup.
"alright."
Qi Heng sat at the table, very refined, but he ate quickly with his chopsticks, finishing a large bowl of chicken noodle soup in the blink of an eye.
His stomach felt warm, which made him sigh.
When he was cold and hungry, eating hot soup noodles made by his wife made him feel inexplicably comfortable and at ease.
"Hasn't Carpenter Lu returned?"
While washing the dishes, Lin Yuesha noticed that Lu the carpenter hadn't come in, and she realized that she hadn't left anything for him.
People have varying degrees of closeness and distance, but she had her heart completely devoted to Qi Heng.
"Carpenter Lu was anxious, so he took the betrothal gifts he had purchased to propose marriage."
Last night, Qi Heng first went to cover up the traces left by Bai Ying and Hong Tao. By the time everything was arranged, it was already dawn.
Hearing that the fishing village was being searched by the city's garrison, Qi Heng did not rush back immediately, but instead went into the city to wait for Lu the carpenter.
Lu the carpenter bought a cartload of goods and was in a hurry to deliver them to Zhang Daya's parents' home.
"Then maybe they'll let you stay for a meal?"
Lin Yuesha boiled water, intending to deliver it to the city guards at the gate, but when she went outside, she found that the group had already left.
"Guess who I saw last night? You'd never guess."
Lin Yuesha sighed, "What a small world!" She prayed that she would never meet Yuwen Kun again in this life, because every time they met, nothing good ever came of it.
"Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang."
No one had sent a message to Qi Heng beforehand, but he guessed correctly.
"So what's your basis for this? You didn't just guess, did you?"
Lin Yuesha was suspicious; unless Qi Heng was a fortune teller, the chances of them meeting in the fishing village were too low.
"The hairpin in your hand is Li Ruoshuang's jewelry."
Qi Heng glanced at it and said confidently.
When he returned and saw the city guards standing at the gate, he basically guessed what had happened.
The Wei family couldn't find his men and stayed in the fishing village, so there must be a new scapegoat emerging.
One man and one woman, Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang are a good match.
"You usually look down on people like you're from another planet. How do you even know what jewelry Li Ruoshuang wears?"
Lin Yuesha's tone was sarcastic. As a woman, Lin Yuesha had never paid attention to what jewelry Li Ruoshuang wore, but Qi Heng remembered it well.
This is very unusual. Could it be that Qi Heng and Li Ruoshuang have something going on?
"My wife, you've misunderstood."
Qi Heng was pleased. His wife's misunderstanding of him showed that she cared, proving that it wasn't just him who was passionately in love.
However, an explanation was necessary, so he said seriously, "I have a problem."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuesha was trying hard to recall, but Qi Heng and Li Ruoshuang shouldn't have had much interaction.
"Photographic memory".
In Helian City, Qi Heng frequently encountered Li Ruoshuang.
Although he didn't pay attention to Li Ruoshuang's attire, Qi Heng still remembered her.
Are you showing off?
Lin Yuesha was speechless; as expected, she couldn't hide anything from the old fox.
"So you tricked Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang, and then looted all the valuables from the carriage?"
Qi Heng nodded repeatedly. As expected of his wife, her cleverness was unmatched, and the key point was that she was just as cunning as him.
Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang finally found a place to stay, only to be made scapegoats—a truly undeserved misfortune.
"Look at what you're saying. Even if I don't take it, it will eventually fall into the hands of the Wei family. It's better to let me have it than to let someone else benefit from it."
Lin Yuesha pointed to the jewelry box. These pieces of jewelry could be pawned for a lot of money, and she wouldn't keep them for herself.
"My husband, have you ever thought about what would happen to those soldiers who came back from the battlefield with disabilities?"
Some could take care of themselves but were no longer able to do physical labor. Most soldiers were disliked by their families, and some heartless parents even took away their sons' only money.
Although you will receive a military salary after leaving the army, that money can't last a lifetime.
"yes."
This is a serious problem, but Qi Heng cannot solve it at present.
When the time is right, open more small workshops and arrange for these disabled soldiers to work there.
"Oh, right."
Lin Yuesha, recalling the conversation she had overheard between the city guards at the gate, asked, "Did you once do the garrison commander of Yingcheng a favor, sir?"
"Yes, it's not a great favor. My father was once the prefect of Yingcheng. Back then, the garrison commander of Yingcheng had not yet participated in the military examination and was wrongly accused of injuring someone. It was my father, your father-in-law, who cleared his name."
At the time, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.
It was only because of this historical connection, coupled with the fact that Yingcheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, serving as a crucial hub in the north, that Qi Heng wanted to take Yingcheng first.
The dozen or so men guarding the courtyard were likely the garrison commander's confidants. As they said, they represented the garrison commander's thoughts, bringing them one step closer to Qi Heng's scheme.
The couple were talking quietly when there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Zhang Daya, covered in sweat, pulled Lin Yuesha aside and said, "We need to find a doctor. Hongtao has a persistent high fever and is getting delirious. I tried using snow water to lower her temperature, but it didn't work."
After delivering the person to the island, Zhang Daya dared not close her eyes and watched them all night.
She had just returned from the island and heard from the villagers that the fishing village was in complete chaos last night. Even her small courtyard suffered an unexpected disaster, with the door broken into, things scattered everywhere, and the water tank broken.
"My lord, Sister Red Peach has a wound that is bloody and mangled. We need to remove the rotten flesh and apply medicine, but I don't know how to do it."
Lin Yuesha and Yan Yan had studied together for a few days, but she was no substitute for the doctor.
Hongtao is currently running a high fever, and her condition is extremely critical.
On the other hand, Bai Ying was alright. Although he had lost a lot of blood, he was strong and healthy and only needed to rest.
"Wait for me for an hour, I will go and fetch the doctor, and I will definitely be back before dark."
Qi Heng made arrangements. He was going to take Lin Yuesha to the island. They had left in a hurry last night, and the island was short of food and clothing. He needed to buy food, clothing, and medicine for Bai Ying and Hong Tao.
Especially the wound medicine, the two of them didn't have much left, and it had been banned from sale in the city, so Qi Heng had to think of another way.
"Okay, you go quickly, I'll prepare these."
Lin Yuesha was filled with worry and felt indignant for Hongtao. If Hongtao had chosen to obey and marry back then, perhaps there would have been no disaster afterward. Fate is cruel.
“Miss Cloud, Miss Red Peach is about the same size as me. I’ll go home first and pack some clothes for her.”
Zhang Daya was efficient and decisive. She and Lin Yuesha divided the tasks and ran out the door.
