Chapter 364: Exposing His Tricks

Chapter 364: Exposing His Tricks

Wen Qiang personally escorted Qiu Bi back home.

Qiu Bi respects her elders and takes the initiative to invite Wen Qiang to come in and have a seat.

Lin Mu had already told her that sister He did not sleep well last night, and asked her mother not to disturb her and let her sleep peacefully. Therefore, Wen Qiang declined the invitation, said goodbye to Qiu Bi at the main gate of Gao's house, and left.

Qiu Bi returned to Nianheju in the east courtyard in a dejected mood.

Jing Yimo, the personal maid, saw that the girl was sad and hurried forward to show concern.

"Why are you sad, girl?"

"At midnight, Miss Ning's maid came over to tell her that Miss Ning had something to do today and would not be returning home. She had already asked for leave from the princess."

"I dare to speculate, is there something wrong?"

Qiu Bi sighed dejectedly and walked towards the inner room with her.

"Oh, it's very unlucky."

Jing Yimo supported her master and respectfully waited for him to take a seat.

"Young lady, you are worrying too much, which is not good for your health. I am willing to share your worries. I wonder if I can be of any help to you?"

Qiu Bi felt uncomfortable and immediately asked to change clothes.

"You certainly can't help me with this matter. But I'll talk to you about it, just as a complaint."

Jing Yimo walked quickly to the closet, took out a set of clean clothes, and returned to her master.

"Miss, please feel free to speak. I am all ears."

Qiu Bi took a bite of snack and stood up to change clothes.

"Last night, the fourth lady taught me some skills in order to help me and Master Lin get along. But, I, Lin Mu, didn't appreciate the kindness and even used Madam Lin's words to hastily drive me out of the Lin Mansion."

"You haven't seen it with your own eyes. For him, I have sacrificed my dignity and shame and done many things. Isn't his face frustrating and embarrassing?"

After changing clothes, Jing Yimo helped the girl sit back down, took out a wooden comb and combed her long hair.

"Master Lin is in a hurry to send the girl away. Could it be that he wants to entertain Master Feng?"

Qiu Bi was startled when she heard this.

"how you said that?"

"Feng Yihe said, are we going to visit the Lin Mansion today?"

Jing Yimo was very skilled. She rolled up half of her long hair and fixed it with a hairpin.

"No, that's not the case. I saw it with my own eyes. She went out at dawn without leaving any information to the housekeeper. Not long after, she came back. The time difference and what the girl said, combined, make me suspicious."

Qiu Bi put down the snack in her hand with a look of resentment.

"You are not worrying too much. My cousin said before that Lord Lin only has Feng Yihe in his heart. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems very suspicious!"

Jing Yimo opened the drawer, took out a box of jewelry, and pinned it in the girl's hair.

"Young Master Tang is a family member. What he said cannot be a lie to Miss. I also feel that Master Lin and Master Feng have a close relationship."

Qiu Bi flew into a rage and slammed the table and stood up.

"And he still promised to marry me? That's too much!"

The buyao almost hurt the girl. Jing Yimo was shocked and hurriedly reached out to protect the girl's eyes, while patiently comforting her.

"The young lady is of noble status, so she should be my wife. Lord Feng is of low birth, so he should be my concubine. Lord Lin's decision is not too much, right?"

Qiu Bi was so angry that she threw away her hairpin to vent her anger.

"Who allowed him to take a concubine? If I marry him, how can he go past me and directly bring a concubine into the mansion?"

Jing Yimo bent down to pick up the foot shake and wiped it clean carefully.

"Then, Master Lin is thinking of taking a concubine before marrying a wife? In this way, he doesn't need to ask the young lady's opinion."

Qiu Bi was furious and completely uncontrollable.

"So this is what he was planning. No wonder he always said the time has not come yet!"

"I'll go back to the Lin residence and expose his tricks!"

Jing Yimo's heart was shocked. She put down her hairpin and hurried to stop him.

"Miss, please don't be impulsive. I am just guessing. Please ask the princess respectfully before making a decision."

Qiu Bi was so angry that she became impatient.

"After asking the princess, they have already finished their work. You can come with me and go immediately!"

Jing Yimo was at a loss for a moment and had to obey.

"Miss, please calm down. I will obey your command."

Qiu Bi and her servant came to the main gate of the Lin Mansion together.

After asking, we learned that Lin Mu's carriage went to the north gate.

Qiu Bi remained silent and asked tentatively.

"Can women sit in a carriage?"

The gatekeeper answered truthfully.

"Yes."

Qiu Bi didn't ask any more questions. She took heavy steps and looked over angrily.

"Carriage... North Gate... I am Lin Mu, and I am in a good mood!"

Jing Yimo followed in small steps, feeling uneasy.

"Young lady, please don't be angry. The principal wife cannot tolerate a concubine, and she is afraid of being stigmatized. I beg you to think twice before you act. Even if you want to fight, you can't be so blatant."

As they were trying to persuade them, the two of them turned the corner and just in time saw the Ning Yunxi sisters jumping off the carriage and fleeing in a panic by the lake in the distance.

Qiu Bi only took a glance and they ran into the alley and disappeared.

"Feng Yihe, stop!"

Qiu Bi and her servant chased after them, but not only did they not find the two of them, Lin Mu's carriage also went further and further away.

"It must be the servant of the Lin Mansion who informed Jian Ying to come as fast as possible to rescue Feng Yihe."

Hearing the girl's heavy breathing, as if she was tired, Jing Yimo soothed her back and helped her calm down.

"So, we have alerted the enemy?"

Qiu Bi breathed heavily and took a short rest.

"Ah."

Jing Yimo was also exhausted and out of breath. She supported the girl and sat on a stone bench beside the quiet lake.

"Lord Feng has always acted cautiously. It is normal that we cannot defeat him."

Qiu Bi was filled with loss.

"Alas, it's my fault that I'm useless. I can never defeat her."

"It's really tiring to run all this way. If I had listened to you, I would have stayed calm and waited until the carriage was ready."

Jing Yimo soothed her in a soft voice.

"Don't worry, young lady. I have told the groom to prepare the carriage and come to the Lin residence immediately. I think he should be waiting at the main entrance of the Lin residence by now."

Qiu Bi patted the stone bench beside her.

"I'll take a breath and then I'll go. You sit down and take a rest."

Jing Yimo was happy and blessed.

"Thank you, girl."

Looking at the direction they left, Qiu Bi snorted coldly.

"There must be something between the two of them that they cannot reveal to others."

"Just because I can't expose them doesn't mean they have a clear conscience, but seeing them fleeing in panic, I know they are shameless!"

Jing Yimo first agreed and gave affirmation.

"What the girl said is absolutely right. They are indeed suspicious."

Then, she gave some kind advice.

"Just now, I was busy dressing up and didn't think deeply about it. Now that I have some free time, I can't help but think it through. I remember the young lady said that you had a conflict with Lord Lin before, and it was the cousin who accidentally passed on the message, which almost made you cancel the engagement. This time, the so-called 'Lord Lin only has Feng Yihe in his heart', is it not another misunderstanding?"

Qiu Bi was sleepy and tired, and had no mood to think too much, so she just refuted directly.

"How can there be so many misunderstandings? After that incident, my cousin promised me personally that he would be careful to guard against Feng Yihe."

"It's fine if he was deceived once, but can he be deceived a second time?"

Jing Yimo lowered her eyes and replied tremblingly.

"I may have said something wrong. Considering your talent, I think... uh..."

Knowing that she dared not speak out, Qiu Bi spoke for her.

"You mean, my cousin was cheated again?!"

Jing Yimo buried her head in fear.

"In my humble opinion, this is possible."

Qiu Bi gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"Why does she have so many things on her mind? She has to take care of both the court and the family, fighting and refusing to give up?!"

"It's really infuriating. I'll ask you when I get home, and we'll know the answer."
