She suddenly felt unsure what taking off the mask would prove, and what it would mean to Yu Zhiheng.
But can she face the face under the mask?
She hesitated.
She looked into the eyes beneath the mask, which were firm, cold, and vaguely gloomy and...expectant?
Forget it. She is now living the life she wants, comfortably and peacefully. Why create trouble? What's the point of confirming her guess?
It just adds to your troubles.
After she figured it out, she stood up and straightened his collar. "It's getting late, my husband, you should go to bed early."
It clearly means to drive away the guests.
Yu Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh angrily.
This woman is as ruthless as ever!

At night, the bright moon was covered by dark clouds.
The faint moonlight is also hidden in the night.
In the darkness, a man stood upright, his brass mask looking particularly cold in the night.
Behind him, Zhuying whispered what happened today, fearing that the other party would break his neck in anger.
"This is what's going on. I've already made arrangements with the Chen family. I'll make them suffer, without harming their lives."
"As for the Lin family...I don't know how to deal with it."
"Find a way to tell the Qian family the news." Yu Zhiheng raised his head and looked at the night sky, saying lightly, "Lin Muting's imperial examination is going to be a disaster this time."

The next morning, after making breakfast, Yu Zhiheng said goodbye to Sang Yu and left.
Or maybe there were a lot of prey recently, so he wanted to take the opportunity to hunt more. He also warned her that he might not be able to come back at night, so she must lock the doors and windows.
Sang Yu nodded in agreement, but she was very happy in her heart.
She had originally planned to go to the county town today. The round trip was far, and she was afraid she would miss it. She was also thinking about how to tell Yu Zhiheng. Now it's better, it saves her trouble.
After Yu Zhiheng left, Sang Yu packed up her things, took some valuable medicinal herbs, and went to Aunt Wang's house next door.
Fortunately, she arrived in time. Aunt Wang's ox cart was about to set off, so she hurriedly greeted Aunt Wang and got on the cart.
Aunt Wang even chased after her and stuffed some hot buns into her arms. Sang Yu felt warm holding the hot buns in her arms.
Because it takes two hours to get to the county, not many people go there. Uncle Wang only picked up four or five people along the way. Except for Sang Yu, the others were from the neighboring village. They should be familiar with each other and have been talking in low voices since they got on the car.
"Have you heard? The Regent has come to the border to lead the army."
"Everyone knows this! The military camp is stationed to our north. The imperial court still has some conscience and finally sent a capable general. We can finally save this place!"
Sang Yu was dozing with her eyes closed. When she heard this, she opened her eyes and looked over. She saw a young man and asked, "Save him?"
"The imperial court has ignored us all these years. It looks glamorous on the outside, but it's hollowed out on the inside. I heard that the soldiers' swords can cut people in half with one blow. All the money goes into the pockets of officials. They don't care about the lives of us ordinary people at all. Now that we can't win, what's the point of sending more people here? It's just to hold out for a while longer!"
After hearing this, some people were dissatisfied. "If that's what you said, then why did the Regent come? Can't he see through such a simple thing?"
"Isn't this just saying the Regent is a man of great righteousness? After all, he was born on the battlefield. At such a young age, he penetrated deep into the enemy camp, killed eight hundred enemies, and paraded the capital with the enemy leader's head, frightening the enemy to death. His reputation spread far and wide, and he quickly recovered several lost territories, which solidified his position."
"I think it's the emperor's order that's hard to disobey."
"Tsk!" another person sneered. "Don't you know what our Cangzhou Emperor is like? He's absurd, dishonest, and has always ignored state affairs. If the Regent doesn't want to, how can the Emperor dare to issue an order?"
"You're right. I hope the Regent's arrival will make our lives easier."
"Alas, the emperor is far away. Even if the regent comes, it won't make any difference to our lives. It's better to go to the county to work and earn more money."
Having said this, several people fell into deep thought and said no more, but Sang Yu listened attentively.
When they arrived at the county, Sang Yu was afraid that Uncle Wang would not take the money, so he threw down ten cents and ran away. No matter how Uncle Wang called him, he did not turn back.
She followed the flow of people all the way to the main street of the county, and only then did she see the truly prosperous market, with people coming and going, and it was bustling and lively.
Not only does it sell everything, but it is actually somewhat similar to modern markets. I heard that it is even uniformly divided and supervised by the government.
Not only are there small carts that look very modern, but there are also various snacks, hotels, restaurants, clothes, as well as soaps, glasses and other modern things. It seems that if she wants to make some money with modern knowledge, it may not work.
And looking at the situation, it doesn’t make sense to have takeout and express delivery!
Just as Sang Yu was thinking about it, a person dressed in a "rice ball" costume ran over with a lunch box.
At the same time, a man in a "Chengfeng" costume came over, pulling a wooden box with a cart.
Oh my god, it really exists!
Which great god traveled through time and achieved such a large scale? She really wants to meet her!
Not only that, there are also many "exotic" vegetables and fruits here, and people sell wild vegetables...weeds?
Moreover, the stall owner's accent was strange and unfamiliar. Sang Yu couldn't help but look at him a few more times. The stall owner next to her kindly explained to her, "Miss, this is your first time in Qilai County. You might not know that these people are from Minzhou in the north. There's a big commotion on the border between the two continents right now, and the people are having a hard time. Although we're on the border, fortunately there's a mountain between us, so it's not so bad. It's the people on the Minzhou border who are suffering. They're living in dire straits, and they've all sneaked over here to beg for a living. If you need anything, you might as well buy more, and consider it a way to help them."
Sang Yu couldn't help but look at the man again. His appearance and dress were no different from theirs, but the things he sold were unacceptable because of the difference.
Sang Yu squatted down and searched carefully, and found that what the man was selling was actually medicinal herbs. Because they were placed under wild vegetables and weeds, Sang Yu didn't see them at first.
Seeing Sang Yu's interest, the stall owner quickly said, "These are all picked from the snow over there. I heard that the old people only pick good things. They are only available in our area. I don't have any use for them, so I sell them to get some food."
Snow mountain?
That's right, after all, snow lotus can only be found in snow mountains.
In addition, Sang Yu also found some Cordyceps sinensis in it.
