Chapter 263 This is too bloody!
"Guess?"
Jin Lu's eyes dimmed, his deep, dark pupils stared at Qi Zhen quietly, and his tone revealed some ambiguous meaning.
The people of Dasheng have always been very open-minded, and the noble ladies of Shengjing are even more so.
Young ladies from aristocratic families would never wear veils to cover their faces when they go out.
Unless, unless there are special circumstances.
For example, there are scars on the face.
Jin Lu went over all the information he knew so far in his mind.
A bold idea came up.
Qi Xu and Qi Zhen are half-sisters. When Qi Xu was in Shengjing, she was used to wearing a veil when going out because of the scar on her face. So, is it possible that the young lady from the official family that he met at the beginning was Qi Xu?
With this assumption, those things that were previously inexplicable seem to be explainable all of a sudden.
Qi Zhen pretended to be Qi Xu, so she could only pretend to have amnesia in front of herself to get away with it.
It’s not that the little benefactor who reached out to him and gave him water and food has changed, but that he has recognized the wrong person.
When Jin Lu thought of this, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Qi Zhen.
He planned to trick Qi Zhen first.
"Don't pretend. Qi Xu has already told me that the wolf tooth pendant you are wearing was stolen from her. She is the benefactor I am looking for."
Jin Lu's face was covered with a gloomy and cold look, which made Qi Zhen feel frightened.
"No! It's not like that! This wolf tooth is me! Brother Ali, how can you believe that little liar Qi Xu? She has been jealous since she was a child because I am prettier than her and can be liked by others more easily than her, so, she will snatch away anything that belongs to me." Qi Zhen hurriedly explained.
Jin Lu sneered, "You've lost your memory, so how do you know this wolf fang is yours? And not something you stole from Qi Xu?"
"I..." Qi Zhen never thought that Jin Lu would go to Qi Xu to ask this question, and she panicked, "Brother Lu, my head hurts."
There was no other way but to pretend to have a headache and try to get away with it.
But Jin Lu had already seen through her at this time, so how could he be fooled by her poor acting skills again?
A sharp gleam flashed across his dark starry eyes as he looked at her coldly, causing Qi Zhen to shudder.
"You should return this thing to its rightful owner."
After saying that, he took action and directly pulled off the wolf tooth pendant from Qi Zhen's neck.
"Brother Ali, please believe me. Give me a little more time and I will definitely remember all my previous memories." Qi Zhen tried to go forward and hug him.
Jin Lu didn't like her getting close to him, let alone this kind of physical contact.
He waved his hand and pushed the person away.
Qi Zhen twisted her feet and fell to the ground in a mess.
Jin Lu didn't want to continue to entangle with her, so he left without looking back.
He wanted to find Qi Xu and get to the bottom of it.
——
As soon as Jin Lu's figure, as strong as a mountain, appeared in Nanhuozhai, everyone knew that he was here again.
"Master Lu, didn't you just go back? Why are you here again?"
"Where is Qi Xu?" Jin Lu directly stated his purpose, that he came to find Qi Xu.
"Miss Qi Xu? She should be at Yaolu right now."
In the medicine reed in the southeast corner of Nanhuozhai, Qi Xu was concentrating on preparing medicinal materials.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head to look.
When his sight fell on Jin Lu's tall figure, he frowned slightly. Why is this guy here again?
"I'm very busy now, please leave my medicine reed."
Jin Lu clenched his fists to hide his nervousness at the moment: "Give me a little time, I'll ask some questions and then leave."
"What's the matter? If it's related to Qi Zhen, then I don't want to talk about it." Qi Xu said coldly. She didn't want to waste her precious time on that woman.
"What if this matter has something to do with you?"
"What exactly do you want to say? Say it quickly and leave after you're done." Qi Xu urged impatiently.
"Do you recognize this thing?" Jin Lu carefully took out a wolf tooth pendant wrapped in several layers of cloth from his arms, placed the pendant in the palm of his hand, and showed it to Qi Xu.
Qi Xu glanced at his palm and saw that it was the pendant he had carried for many years. He nodded naturally and said, "I know it. It's mine. Qi Zhen took it away during my exile."
Hearing her answer, Jin Lu's heart started beating fast.
"Then where did you get this pendant?"
Qi Xu recalled: "In the mountains outside Shengjing, I met a dying prisoner. I gave him some water and food, and he gave me this wolf tooth."
At that time, it was the first time she did a good deed and received a gift in return, so she kept the wolf fang hanging on her body.
Everything is right!
Jin Lu was very excited, and his tone rose: "I gave you this wolf fang! I was the prisoner who was about to die."
There was a slight fluctuation in Qi Xu's eyes.
She was young at the time, and Jin Lu was lying there curled up, so she didn't pay attention to his height.
But in just a moment, Qi Xu quickly regained his composure and said "oh" in a light voice.
Jin Lu was still immersed in joy and didn't notice her cold attitude. He continued to explain, "The pendant is with Qi Zhen. I thought she was the benefactor who gave me food and saved my life. That's why I wanted to help her and take care of her."
Is it a misunderstanding?
Qi Xu curled the corners of her lips slightly. If she had heard him say this half a month ago, she might have been very happy, but now, when she heard Jin Lu's explanation again, her heart was calm.
"Oh, I see."
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Jin Lu apologized to her very sincerely.
Qi Xu could also feel his sincerity, but everything had changed. She could accept Jin Lu's apology calmly, but she only accepted his apology.
When Yun Fu heard that Jin Lu came to see Qi Xu again, she and Qi Hanzhou came over to see what was going on.
Support Qi Xu.
I didn't expect to eat such a big melon.
This is too ridiculous!
Jin Lu always said that Qi Zhen was his benefactor, and they thought that Qi Zhen saved him in the woods with her fake acting skills.
It turns out that this is not the case at all!
Yun Fu tutted her words, "After all this time, it turns out that Qi Xu is your benefactor!"
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Jin Lu's face flushed red. He raised his hand and handed the wolf tooth pendant to Qi Xu: "Legend has it that wolf teeth can ward off evil spirits. Here, here you go."
Qi Xu's eyelashes trembled, and there was indifference in his eyes, as if he was keeping people at a distance: "I think things that Qi Zhen has touched are dirty, so you should take them back to her."
The seemingly gentle words were like a sharp ice knife, piercing into Jin Lu's heart, causing his chest to twitch.
