Chapter 365: Being Tempted

Qiu Bi returned to Gao's house.

When passing by the courtyard, Qiu Bi happened to see Feng Yihe stepping into the south courtyard gate. She quickened her pace to catch up with her and called out loudly.

"stop!"

Recognizing her voice, Feng Yihe stopped at the South Courtyard Garden as instructed, turned around and smiled politely.

"What can I do for you, Miss?"

Qiu Bi's face was as white as frost and her gaze was sharp.

"You left early in the morning. Where are you coming from?"

There was a barely perceptible scheming glimmer in Feng Yihe's eyes.

"Second Miss is so caring?"

Qiu Bi's brows tightened and he looked extremely serious.

"Answer me, where did you go?"

Feng Yihe was calm and collected. He judged the man's expression and asked a question in return.

"Where should I have been?"

Qiu Bi didn't have any extra patience.

"How should I know? Just answer truthfully!"

Feng Yihe roughly understood what he meant.

"I……"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Bi became a little suspicious and suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!"

Feng Yihe stopped talking and spoke respectfully.

"Yes."

Qiu Bi turned to Jian Ying and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Jian Ying, come here."

Jian Ying walked over respectfully.

"Yes."

Qiu Bi continued to give instructions.

"Report your destination quietly, and don't let her hear."

Jian Ying was loyal to her master and looked embarrassed.

"Second Miss, please don't embarrass me."

Qiu Bi showed dissatisfaction in her eyes and threatened in a harsh voice.

"I only asked where you were going, why are you so embarrassed? Be careful or I'll send you off to a distant place!"

Jian Ying bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"I know I was wrong, please calm down, Miss."

Qiu Bi gave an order.

"explain."

Thinking about her girl's ambitions, Jian Ying chose a place that could be clearly stated and deliberately pretended to be one.

"Royal Palace."

Qiu Bi turned and looked at Feng Yihe.

"You say it."

Feng Yihe gently plucked a flower, sniffed it, and answered calmly.

"Lin Mansion."

Upon hearing the different answers, Qiu Bi became even more suspicious.

"One said the Imperial Palace, the other said the Lin Residence. Where did you go?"

Feng Yihe swayed the flower branches, with a look of contempt on her face, which was self-evident.

"Whether I have been to the palace, the second young lady can find out by asking."

Qiu Bi turned around and gave instructions.

"Go and ask."

Jing Yimo responded respectfully and turned to leave.

"Yes."

Qiu Bi found a stone table and stone bench, pretended to be calm and indifferent, and sat down slowly.

"Then tell me, why are you going to the Lin Mansion?"

Feng Yihe followed and sat down, casually fiddling with the petals with her jade fingers, and slowly picked one off.

"What else can I do? How can I start talking?"

Qiu Bi responded with a serious expression.

"Just tell me what you want to say."

Feng Yihe acted shy and responded meaningfully.

"But Brother Mu told us not to tell anyone, especially you, the second young lady."

Qiu Bi was instantly enraged by her.

"He said, I'm an outsider?"

Feng Yihe asked again.

"Does the second young lady think she is not?"

She figured it out completely from the words, changed the subject, and asked proactively.

"After what happened last night, you guys stayed together, right?"

Fearing it was a test, Qiu Bi immediately became defensive.

"You are not allowed to ask about my affairs."

Feng Yihe took a quick glance and understood everything.

"No wonder Brother Mu said something unreasonable. The past made him sick, so he asked me to meet him to cleanse his mind."

Qiu Bi gritted her teeth and tried to calm her anger.

"Don't lie to me, I won't believe it."

Feng Yihe is adept at doing things and is able to alienate people.

"It's best if you don't believe me. Brother Mu said that you are still useful and asked me to try not to provoke you."

Qiu Bi's lower lip trembled slightly.

"What do you mean? What use am I?"

Feng Yihe's words had more to say, leaving her to think about it carefully.

"What use can a noble lady from a high family have? Second Miss knows it well, so why should I say more?"

As expected, Qiu Bi immediately took the bait.

"You mean, he married me just for the government?"

Feng Yihe tore the petals into pieces and threw them on the stone table.

"I said it was only for my sincerity, do you believe me?"

Qiu Bi was touched and hesitated to speak.

"I……"

At this time, a servant at the South Courtyard gate waved, indicating that he had something to report.

With Feng Yihe's eye permission, Jian Ying walked over quickly and inquired about the situation.

Feng Yihe recognized that there was a man standing next to the servant of the South Courtyard, and it was the servant of Nianheju. From this, he inferred that it must be someone from Nianheju who came to visit.

She observed and speculated while never forgetting to talk.

"Last night, he risked his own life to rescue her. If that was true, Miss, why do you still not dare to believe it?"

Qiu Bi didn't pay attention to anything else and focused on what Feng Yihe said, and was stunned for a moment.

"How do you know what happened last night?"

Feng Yihe smiled and spoke nonsense casually.

"I taught him to do this, how could he not know?"

"I had good intentions and wanted to make the Second Miss happy, but who knew that Brother Mu would be so upset at the critical moment. Alas, how could the Second Miss, with her beautiful appearance, not catch his eye?"

Qiu Bisu immediately believed it to be true.

"So all this was a trick you used to humiliate me?"

Feng Yihe suddenly changed the subject.

"I said no, they are all just jokes, do you believe it, Miss?"

Qiu Bi's mind was in a state of confusion.

"I……"

Feng Yihe was very attentive and gave a flower as a gift.

"Don't think too much, Second Miss. Brother Mu is really sincere to you."

Qiu Bi disdained the beauty and fragrance of flowers and focused on asking questions.

"What's the evidence?"

Feng Yihe took back the flower and plucked another petal.

"unknown."

Qiu Bi looked solemn.

"Then why did you say that?"

Feng Yihe sighed silently, and Wanrong suddenly looked delicate.

"I have comforted him as much as I should have. Brother Mu said frankly that he felt bad for me and asked me not to wrong myself like this. So, Miss, please, for his sake, don't make things difficult for me."

Qiu Bi was annoyed by what she saw, so she snatched her flowers and threw them on the ground angrily.

"Bring him here and let's confront him face to face!"

Feng Yihe didn't care about it. She looked relaxed and played with her nails.

"I've already said that you are still useful. Brother Mu will not show any clues at this moment."

She stopped what she was doing, chuckled, turned her head and glanced at Qiu Bi.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Second Miss? In the future, when the great things are accomplished, there will be plenty of opportunities for Brother Mu and I to show our affectionate feelings to you. I will let you see as much as you want."

Qiu Bi's anger was evident on her face and she could no longer hide it.

"Aren't you afraid of ruining his plans by saying this now? Your words and actions are suspicious, and you are clearly trying to deceive me."

Jian Ying hurried back and mouthed: Princess Yuexi.

Feng Yihe responded nonchalantly with a look.

Jian Ying understood, but kept silent and deliberately did not inform Qiu Bi.

Feng Yihe also pretended nothing had happened and responded naturally.

"You won't believe anything I say anyway, so why should I hide it? Lying is very hard, so I might as well get it out there. Could it be that the Second Miss is so virtuous that she thinks she is worth my deceiving? Haha, the Second Miss is really worrying too much."

Qiu Bi was unaware of it and was just angry and jealous.

"But he and I hit it off right away when we were kids..."

Feng Yihe took out the silk handkerchief she carried with her hand and smiled.

"Second Miss always talks about things from her childhood, not realizing that there is nothing else besides that. Brother Mu and I grew up together and have been together for more than 20 years. Second Miss has never thought about why he wanted to use his beauty to lure me under the guise of testing me?"

Qiu Bi was stunned again when she heard this.

"You...how do you know it's a beauty trap?"

Feng Yihe was calm and composed.

"Of course he took the initiative to tell me. If you don't believe it, you can ask."

She raised her eyebrows disdainfully and asked guiding questions.

"Guess how I was willing to get involved even though I knew the truth?"

Qiu Bi started to have wild thoughts as she heard what she said.

"you……"

Feng Yihe stood up, walked closer, whispered in her ear, lowered his voice, and provoked her.

"Brother Mu Liu Yi's ability to be warm and caring is very good."

Qiu Bi quickly clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.
