After Chai Yang left, Qin Moyuan tidied his clothes and walked towards Li Yueshu.
Li Yueshu was chatting with Mother Mo. Qin Moyuan sat down on her other side. "A'shu, we can enter the city tomorrow."
Li Yueshu nodded and noticed his solemn expression. She asked with confusion, "Did something happen?"
Qin Moyuan looked at her sideways, his expression serious. "The closer we get to Chongzhou, the easier it is for our whereabouts to be discovered. Instead of worrying about being ambushed after being found, it's better to make a high-profile appearance so that people wouldn't dare to make a move."
In truth, he could have returned to the 왕府 quietly and saved a lot of trouble. But then he would have no reason to bring A'shu to the 왕府.
Li Yueshu, unaware of his thoughts, asked earnestly, "Do you have a plan?"
Mother Mo, listening to their conversation, was completely bewildered.
What assassins?
Who was going to make a move?
Had something happened that she didn't know about?
Qin Moyuan looked directly at her, his expression earnest. "A'shu, help me take off the mask. From now on, I am no longer Shen Wei."
And you are no longer Shen family's wife, but A'shu whom I will strive to gain forgiveness from, and strive to make you accept my feelings.
His eyes seemed to hold a blazing fire, making his deep gaze even more captivating.
For a moment, Li Yueshu thought she could hear her own heartbeat.
She had seen Qin Moyuan's true face. That face was definitely the most handsome among all the men she had ever seen.
Li Yueshu's lips moved slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she turned her head away. "You're not without hands yourself."
Qin Moyuan naturally wouldn't do it himself.
He had always known that Li Yueshu had no resistance to his original face. If it were compared with the face of "Shen Wei," she would probably be even more satisfied with his own face.
Thus, he raised his bandaged hand and looked at Li Yueshu pitifully.
Although he didn't say a word, his meaning was very clear.
Li Yueshu: "..."
Just as she was about to say something, Xing He suddenly appeared from who knows where. "Whatever Master needs, this subordinate will do!"
Qin Moyuan: "..."
He! Wanted! To! Kill! Xing! He!
Li Yueshu immediately stood up. "Yes, let Xing He help you!"
With that, she turned and ran, her back looking a little hurried.
Mother Mo, who had been acting as a background prop, also left. Before leaving, she looked at Qin Moyuan with a complicated expression.
Mother Mo quickened her pace to catch up with Li Yueshu.
She hesitated with a conflicted expression for a while before finally asking, "Madam, what you were just saying..."
Li Yueshu took two deep breaths to calm herself. Seeing Mother Mo's confused look, she didn't hide anything. "He is not Shen Wei. The real Shen Wei died four years ago. It was him who returned to Tong Mu County back then, and these children are not his. But A'yu is the real Shen Wei's child."
Since Qin Moyuan had decided to reclaim his identity, there was nothing to hide. However, she didn't reveal Qin Moyuan's true identity.
Upon reaching Chongzhou, she would take Mother Mo, Zhou Chen, and others directly to the courtyard bought by Hong Dai. Qin Moyuan, no longer "Shen Wei," would naturally have nothing to do with her.
Hearing that Qin Moyuan was not Shen Wei from the beginning, Mother Mo was so shocked that she couldn't react for a long time.
After a long while, she asked curiously, "When did Madam know he wasn't... Shen Wei?"
Mentioning this, Li Yueshu curled her lips and let out a cold laugh. "I accidentally discovered that he had long recovered but was pretending to be foolish to deceive me. It was then that I happened to overhear him admit that he wasn't Shen Wei."
"Pretending to be foolish?" Mother Mo suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown, "Madam's sudden cold attitude towards him back then was because of this?"
Li Yueshu looked at the slightly angry Mother Mo and nodded.
All this time, because she had promised to conceal Qin Moyuan's identity, she had never explained anything. Mother Mo and Aunt Liu thought that her cold attitude towards Qin Moyuan was because she was not satisfied with being sold to the Shen family and couldn't adapt to Shen Wei's sudden recovery.
So, given their concern for her, it was not surprising that they would be angry upon knowing that Qin Moyuan had deceived her.
But to Li Yueshu's surprise, Mother Mo even changed her address. "Miss did the right thing! Facing people like him, we should just ignore him!"
Li Yueshu was still shocked by her sudden change in address when she saw Mother Mo speaking with a determined expression. "Miss treated him wholeheartedly, and always showed mercy to the disgusting provocations of the Shen family for his sake. I didn't expect that he wasn't Shen Wei at all, and dared to deceive Miss."
"Miss should not forgive this kind of person!"
Faced with her righteous indignation, Li Yueshu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
She took Mother Mo's hand, her eyes full of laughter. "Yes, not forgive him!"
Seeing that she wasn't angry at all, Mother Mo couldn't help but feel heartache.
A good person like Miss deserved someone who cherished and loved her to rely on.
In fact, that fake Shen Wei was a good choice. After all, they had been together for so long, and his kindness to Miss and Miss's trust in him were evident for all to see. It was just that he had deceived Miss after all...
Mother Mo hesitated for a moment, and her tone softened as she changed her words. "It's not that you can't forgive him at all. If he sincerely repents, Miss can just give him some punishment."
Li Yueshu, seeing Mother Mo's soft heart, chuckled and linked her arm. "Alright, I'll listen to Aunt Mo."
Having already gotten over her anger about Qin Moyuan deceiving her, she was now only touched and warmed by Mother Mo's concern.
Thus, before Qin Moyuan, who had taken off his mask, could explain his sudden change of identity to everyone, he realized that Mother Mo, who had always looked favorably upon him, was now occasionally glaring at him.
Qin Moyuan: "..."
A momentary miscalculation, he seemed to have lost an ally who supported him.
Qin Moyuan was depressed, and even more so, under these circumstances, that clueless Xing He ran around him even more diligently...
Just as Xing He became more diligent and Qin Moyuan wanted to kill him more, the group finally arrived at the gates of Chongzhou City.
Chongzhou was indeed the capital. Even from afar in the carriage, before they got close, the sounds of its lively prosperity could be heard.
Li Yueshu held A'yu and watched the lively scene outside with him.
Qin Moyuan, also in the carriage, leaned against the carriage wall, looking tenderly at the mother and son in front of him.
Upon arriving in Chongzhou, it was unknown when such peaceful moments would occur again.
At this moment, the moving carriage suddenly stopped.
Li Yueshu and the others' carriage was at the front of the convoy and had stopped right at the city gates.
Because she was appreciating the scenery outside, Li Yueshu saw the scene outside at a glance.
Under the tall city walls stood a group of guards holding long spears, wearing black short shirts, and exuding a spirited and sharp aura.
They stood neatly on both sides of the city gate, their imposing and cold demeanor making people unconsciously hold their breath, not daring to act rashly.
Li Yueshu was wondering when she saw that group of people walking directly towards them.
Their aggressive demeanor scared Zhou Chen and the others, who thought they had come to cause trouble.
But despite their fear, they still hardened their resolve and blocked the carriage.
