Just because sheâs Bai Yan?
While Mu Leng was still trying to make sense of that statement, the womanizer had already come before Bai Yanâs presence. His eyes were showing traces of grievance: âWhy did you cover your face that day, is because you were afraid of me recognizing you? I actually couldnât be certain if it was really you on the dragon boat that day, but now that Iâve seen you in person, Iâm absolutely certain without a doubt.â
He knows this woman beforehand?
She was only skeptical at first but now its downright ugly in the face. Mu Leng simply couldnât expect them both to know each other, let alone be able to make a reunion in a situation like this.
Muzhenâs expression wasnât looking good either. Seething with anger, the old beauty comments using the most sarcastic tone she could muster: âSo its Second Young Masterâs old lover, no wonder you would deceive your own parents. I know you are a philanderer, but what you are doing now will harm the Misty Fairy House!â
âShut up!â
Several loud shouts rang out at the same time.
In addition to the Zhongnan and his younger brother Zhongbei, thereâs also the womanizerâs own mother Jun Tian Yue. The madam directly stepped in front of the old bitchâs face and swung her hand to give a loud smacking SLAP!!
âOut of respect for saving my eldest back then, Iâve endured your parade for all these years. Now you got the audacity to blemish my second son? You think I, as his mother, wouldnât know his personality the best? Even if heâs more dastardly in his womanizing, he would never lie to me!â
Covering her own face, Muzhenâs eye were filled with waves of loathsome anger.
The womanizer as well, he was fuming right up to his head. If he wasnât so much weaker than this old hag then he wouldâve ran over himself to send a few slaps of his own.
âMuzhen, are you trying to see me dead? If you say another word then donât blame me!â
Donât joke around! That year this ill-tempered girl nearly castrated me just for teasing her. Now someone is brave enough to say sheâs my lover? I still want to live a nice long life!
âNow that all the players are here, itâs time we began the show.â Turning to gaze down at Muzhen with her frosty glare, Bai Yanâs lip had arched into a devious smirk: âItâs actually quite easy to determine if that girl over there is Huan Yinâs savior. Just have Xun Huan here ask her a few questions.â
Flabbergasted at the suggestion, the womanizer didnât get whatâs going on.?Why have me ask her a few questions? What good would that do?
But upon contact with Bai Yanâs menacing gaze, the squeamish man hastened to carry out the task.
âIf Yan Yan is opening her mouth then I can only begin.â Making a few coughs to clear his throat, âFirst off, what color of dress did you wear that day?â
Ho Cui Cui didnât answer, only making a bewildered look.?What does this have to do with being Huan Yinâs savior?
Bai Yan too was going dark in the face,?This man⦠heâs still as shameless as ever.
âIt looks like you canât answer my first question,â the womanizer grew serious.
âIâ¦â getting sweaty in the forehead, He Cui Cui had wanted to defend herself when she was cut off.
âSecond question, what time did you board the ship?â
The boarding time of each participant shouldâve been recorded in the books. The fact that Muzhen and Mu Leng didnât bother to bring those up was very suspicious in itself. And sure enough, the imposter was left wordless.
âFine then, the fact that you canât answer either of my questions is enough to tell me the answer I need. But as a benefit of a doubt, I will ask the third question.â Clearing his throat so his words couldnât be misheard, âWhat method did you use to cure Huan Yinâs condition?â
Now this time Ho Cui Cui knew the answer. Inwardly, she was very much relieved at her own luck.
