Chapter 8: Dig a Hole

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nangong Mo raised his hand and pressed between his eyebrows. He really couldn’t bear to listen to the conversation between the woman and the bird anymore. He turned his wheelchair and left.

From behind came a voice that was both male and female and somewhat excited.

Hurry up and push his wheelchair! This is a good deed. It can increase one merit point! Hurry up!

Nangong Mo pursed his thin lips and sped away, not giving Yun Ran a chance.

Yun Ran yawned lazily. “Look, it’s not that I don’t want to go. He doesn’t need me to.”

You’re the one who’s too slow! Hmph! Friendly reminder: For the sake of your wretched life, your silver, and your beauty, you have to be a good person and a diligent human.

Shut up, you stupid bird.

I advise you to be gentler to me. Otherwise, I’ll transform you into a beast and pounce on Nangong Mo.

Yun Ran was speechless.

This damned bird was intolerable!

“Do you believe that I’ll dig a hole and bury Nangong Mo alive and extinguish the source of your spiritual energy?!”

The words that came out of Yun Ran’s mouth were filled with killing intent. However, as soon as she finished speaking, a cold voice sounded from behind her.

“Oh? Who are you going to dig a hole to bury?”

Yun Ran’s heart skipped a beat. She felt as if he had been struck by lightning…

She turned stiffly and looked at the man who had left and returned. Her mouth twitched uncontrollably. “Well, what I said was that I should dig a hole and bury myself…”

“Really? I think I heard my name?”

Yes, you heard me right. But I’ll never admit it!

“Well, maybe the wind was too strong and distorted the sound, so there was a misunderstanding. Hehehe, yes, it was a misunderstanding!”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the little woman trying her best to fake a smile. Her face was stiff from smiling. The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. “I heard that it’s easy to be struck by lightning if you lie too much. Consort, you have to be careful.”

Yun Ran was speechless.

If that day comes, I’ll bite you to death before I die! Failing which I’ll come back as a ghost and bite you to death!

Nangong Mo raised his hand and gently pressed the space between his eyebrows. Was she born in the year of the dog?

To prevent her from continuing to spout nonsense, he reached out and handed her a bowl of medicine.

Yun Ran leaned over and blinked. “You’re not going to poison me, are you, Your Highness?”

The man’s sexy lips curled into a sneer. “Judging others by your petty yardstick.”

“But why should I drink medicine for no reason?”

“You’re full of nonsense. This should cure your condition.”

Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn’t see it, she rolled her eyes at him and made a strangling gesture, but she was smiling like a flower. “This symptom you’re talking about is most likely the state of getting bewitched. It’s useless to drink medicine if you’re bewitched. I…” It wasn’t as though she was bewitched.

But before she could finish, the man raised his eyebrows and said faintly, “What? Do you want to be burned instead?”

“Don’t. I’ll drink it. I’ll drink it.”

Yun Ran took the bowl and sniffed it. Then she closed her eyes and finished it in one gulp.

After that, her beautiful face was distorted!

Nangong Mo thoughtfully handed her a candied fruit.

Without thinking, she stuffed it into her mouth.

“Pfft… cough cough cough…”

In an instant, there was nothing but bitterness in her world—sour, sweet, spicy, and salty. There were all kinds of flavors.

Yun Ran was so overwhelmed by these flavors that she doubted the meaning of life. Tears came to her eyes. How was this candied fruit? This was clearly…

Nangong Mo!

You treacherous, shameless dog of a man!

Curse you for not being as popular with the girls. You’ll become an old bachelor in the future!

After finally extricating herself from the awful taste, Yun Ran threw a murderous look at Nangong Mo and gritted her teeth. “You did it intentionally!”

“Yes?” The man raised his eyebrows as if puzzled.

How dare he pretend to be stupid??

“The candied fruit was… Sour! Spicy! Salty!”

Was it for humans to eat?

“Maybe I took the wrong one.” The man’s expression was calm and casual. Yun Ran was about to pounce on him and knock him down when she heard him sigh faintly. “After all, I’m blind and can’t see.”

Yun Ran paused and looked at the sad and lonely expression on the man’s handsome face. At that moment, she felt pity for him.

He’s actually quite pitiful. He was originally a genius, but he ended up in such a state. He liked Lin Yanran, but Lin Yanran fell in love with someone else and even abandoned him! Sigh, it’s really too tragic!

Yun Ran did not notice that the man’s eyes darkening. When did he say that he liked Lin Yanran? Was he abandoned? Did the foolish woman know what those words meant?

At this moment, Feng Xuan reported at the door, “Master, Minister Lin is here. He requests to see you.”

Her eyes lit up as she turned toward the door.

Lin Wanyue’s scumbag father? Since he came knocking on her door, it doesn’t seem right not to torture him.

Nangong Mo’s expression froze as he narrowed his eyes at Yun Ran. Did she just say Lin Wanyue? Was she really not the real Lin Wanyue?

But last night, he had carefully examined her face and found no traces of a disguise.

According to the information, there was a fingernail-sized peach blossom mark on Lin Wanyue’s right shoulder. When he accidentally tore her clothes last night, he saw it…

She was indeed Lin Wanyue.

Recalling the conversation she had overheard with the so-called immortal bird today, Nangong Mo suddenly had a bold guess.

“Invite Minister Lin to the front hall.”

“Master, I’ve invited him, but Minister Lin insists on requesting an audience outside the residence.”

“Oh?”

Nangong Mo only raised his eyebrows indifferently and did not comment.

Yun Ran immediately came forward and smiled innocently. “Your Highness, shall I push you over?”

… .

At this moment, outside Prince of Qin’s Estate.

Dressed in a court dress, official hat, and brocade boots, Lin Qianqiu stood on the steps in an imposing manner, sizing up his surroundings.

An ornate carriage was parked nearby. Eight well-dressed maids stood around it, with their heads held high and their eyes straight ahead.

This scene attracted many citizens of the Royal City to stop and watch. They discussed softly.

“Yesterday, Second Miss Lin had just gotten married to the Prince of Qin. Today, the Minister came to visit. What is going on?”

“Speaking of the Prince of Qin, how can he make his father-in-law wait outside the door!”

“Then who’s sitting in the sedan chair? Which mistress of the Lin family could it be?”

In the sedan chair were Lin Yanran and her mother, Madam Qin.

“Mother, can’t Father do this himself? Why must he insist that I come over? I really don’t want to take another look at that cripple!”

“Mother knows that the very sight of him reminds you of that wretched engagement. It shames and humiliates you.”

Lin Yanran glared at Qin Shi. “You already know that, yet you still asked me to come.”

Qin smiled dotingly and reached out to shake her hand. She said earnestly, “However, in order to keep your reputation clean, you shall endure this for now. After today, you won’t have to see him again.”
