Chapter 5 Hypocrisy or True Love
477 Words
Peeping through the gap between the screens, Wei Yuewu saw the man she encountered the previous night in the forest, and he was actually sitting not far from her at the moment!
She would never forget those eyes....
With a look of embarrassment and doubt, Mo Huating warily glanced at the handsome man sitting on the opposite side.
"Please don't be kidding me, Your Highness. If something really happened to her, I would ... live in condolence for her for one year."
Mo Huating's face now was full of affection, but Wei Yuewu felt nothing but ridicule.
What a plot you schemed!
You "killed" your fiance, achieved your ulterior goal and now you want to gain a good reputation for yourself from this.
Hum, how can I possibly let you achieve your purpose!
"Did you look into the incident to find out who is the killer?" asked the young man, ignoring his affection and changing the focus of their conversation.
"I did! I was told by the villagers nearby that there were a gang of roving bandits recently. Presumably it was them who attacked the carriage after they noticed it. Although there were quite a few guards escorting Miss Wei, they did not have an advantage over such desperate villains. When I arrived, Miss Wei...had died in the carriage...face blurred...."
Face blurred!
Wei Yuewu suddenly felt a stab at her heart, and sorrow and grief occupied her mind.
Silly girl! Qin Ruo, how silly you were!
You even scratched your face after distracting the killers from me....
You must have done this to help me escape!
Qin Ruo... Qin Ruo...!
Wei Yuewu wiped away the tears from her face and contained her grief and anger: Qin Ruo, I will revenge for you, you have my word! I will have Mo Huating PAY THE DEBT OF BLOOD WITH HIS OWN BLOOD!
From outside the screen came the sound of moving tables and chairs. Wei Yuewu looked out and saw Mo Huating leaving with his attendants.
A lean and slim bodyguard behind Mo Huating caught her attention....
After they had left, a servant came and removed the screen in front of her. With the appearance of a teenage girl, she sat there quietly, raising her thoughtful eyes and looking at the young man silently.
She was about to speak when a guard hurriedly came in and whispered into the young man's ear.
Wei Yuewu was standing not far away from them, so she caught a few words: "residence of Marquis Hua Yang...the Second Miss...Marquis Jing Yuan...."
The young man, whose name was Yan Huaijing, smiled and waved at the guard, who retreated silently at the gesture.
"Miss Wei, Mo Huating may not believe you are dead and is still investigating your whereabouts. You can either go back to the capital with him, or with me. Tell me your choice."
