Chapter 128 Three-Party Operation
Chapter 128 Three-Party Operation
In the darkness of night, Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming did not find Qiu Ziyue this time, but they did find Zhao Wanqing.
Zhao Wanqing agreed to go with Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming to find Qiu Ziyue.
Meanwhile, the three senior brothers, Chu Yuqiu, Yin Lihen, and the other three each took Qiu Ziyue's portrait and went to nearby villages and towns to inquire.
In those chaotic times of war, the villagers became refugees, preoccupied with fleeing in all directions and having no time to think about anything else.
No matter how they inquired, the answer was always the same—no one had ever seen Qiu Ziyue.
Yin Lihen and Chu Yujue walked along the village road, their faces showing exhaustion.
They had almost lost faith and were filled with worry.
"This can't go on," Chu Yujue said in a low voice. "Where exactly is Miss Qiu?"
Just then, a child's voice suddenly rang out: "I've seen this girl before!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads away.
A little boy was standing not far away, holding a few wild fruits in his hand.
"Really?" Qiu Langyu walked over quickly, squatted down, and asked gently, "Could you tell me the details of what happened?"
The little boy nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "That night I was starving, so I went into the woods to find wild fruit to eat. Suddenly I saw a young lady in a long purple dress flying in the air. She was so beautiful! I thought she was a fairy descended from heaven."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of the group.
Lu Yuan Changming hurriedly asked, "Do you know which direction the young lady flew in?"
The little boy thought for a moment and pointed southeast: "They flew that way."
Upon hearing this news, hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.
Qiu Langyu patted the little boy on the shoulder: "Thank you, little friend. You've helped us a lot."
Yin Lihen also smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Qiu was not coerced by anyone. That's good, that's good."
The others who overheard these words breathed a sigh of relief.
The group quickly packed their belongings and set off in the southeast direction.
Along the way, their mood gradually lightened.
But as they walked forward, they discovered that there was a cliff in front of them.
"Oh my god, Miss Qiu wouldn't have jumped off a cliff to commit suicide, would she?" Yin Lihen said.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Wenfeng retorted angrily, "I say, Young Master Yin, you're so handsome, but you have a foul mouth. Can't you say something nice?"
Yin Lihen said angrily, "Isn't this just speculation? Why make such a fuss?"
Qiu Langyu said, "Alright, let's go back now. At least we've gained something today, knowing that our junior sister wasn't coerced."
Yin Lihen said, "Okay, let's go back now and meet up with Qi Yuxuan, Lu Yuanchangming and the others. Let's think about whether there are any other options."
At daybreak, in Twilight City, following the plan discussed by his friends, he went to the Qi residence to visit Qi Yushuang.
As dawn breaks and a gentle breeze blows, the first rays of sunlight appear.
A magnificent carriage was parked at the entrance of the Qi Family Compound.
Twilight City was dressed in a brocade robe and had a smile on his face.
Holding the "three documents" and a box of carefully selected treasures, he led a matchmaker slowly toward the Qi family's gate.
"Is Miss Yushuang from the Qi family here?" he asked softly, his voice gentle and polite.
The gatekeeper quickly opened the gate and respectfully led him into the inner courtyard.
A short while later, Qi Yushuang appeared in the courtyard, wearing a light blue dress and with a cold expression.
"Young Master Mu, what brings you here?" Qi Yushuang asked casually, her tone tinged with impatience.
Twilight City smiled slightly and presented the three documents with both hands: "Miss Rain Frost, I have come today to formally propose to you. I hope to receive your consent."
Qi Yushuang took the three books, glanced at them, then sneered and threw them on the ground.
"Young Master Mu, I appreciate your kindness, but please forgive me for not being able to accept it."
Twilight City paused, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face: "Why?"
Qi Yushuang said coldly, "I just feel that we are not suitable for each other."
Twilight City tried to persuade her: "Miss Rain Frost, I am devoted to you and am willing to protect you for the rest of my life."
Qi Yushuang was not moved by his words; instead, she became even more determined.
She walked to the stone table to the side and said coldly, "Please take these gifts back. I don't need these things to express my feelings."
Hearing this, Twilight City felt a pang of sorrow, but he did not give up.
He recalled drinking last night, and how Yin Lihen, that seasoned lover, had taught him many tricks, which gave him confidence.
Yin Lihen had told me that day that one should not be too weak towards women. If all else fails, one should reveal one's trump card so as not to lose face as a man.
She also told him, "Remember, the stubborn are afraid of the ruthless, the ruthless are afraid of the reckless, kind women are afraid of sweet talk, women who pretend to be crazy are afraid of tough, straightforward men, and difficult women are afraid of even more difficult men."
So Twilight City changed her strategy based on Yin Lihen's suggestion.
He said, "Miss Yushuang, do you know that you have violated me? You have to take responsibility for me."
Seeing that Qi Yushuang was somewhat confused, he continued, "I took the initiative to propose marriage to save face for you, but I didn't expect to be humiliated by you instead. Why is that?"
"What? I violated you?" When did this happen?
Xiao Cui, standing next to Yu Shuang, avoided eye contact; she knew perfectly well what had happened that night.
“Miss Rain Frost, that night, you violated me. I lost my virginity to you. Do you know that?” Twilight City said.
"What, Young Master Mu, you must be joking."
“What I said is absolutely true. That night, I came to enlighten you at the suggestion of a few gentlemen.”
"I never expected that as soon as I entered the door, you would cover my mouth and prevent me from speaking. Later, I lost my virginity to you."
“What? How is this possible? Do you have any proof?” Qi Yushuang said.
“Yes, I have the girl’s herbal medicine,” Mu Guangcheng said, taking it out of his pocket and showing it to Qi Yushuang.
"You, you lecherous scoundrel! I'm going to report you to the authorities and tell my godfather. I will never let you off easily!" Qi Yushuang said, her face turning pale with anger.
"Furthermore, if you don't believe me, I can tell you what you said to me that night. You said 'I want it,' and you also said 'one more time'..."
Twilight City truly lives up to his reputation as Yin Lihen's disciple; in such a short time, he has transformed from a refined gentleman into a man who speaks such shameless words.
"Slap,"
Qi Yushuang slapped him across the face and said, "Stop talking and get out of here right now."
Twilight City, having just been slapped, said, "Miss Rain Frost, it was you who raped me. I came to marry you to protect your reputation, but you treat me like this. I am truly heartbroken. Farewell."
Twilight City turned and walked toward the carriage.
Qi Yushuang then looked at Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, what exactly happened that day?"
“Miss, that day you were with Young Master Mu, I thought it was Young Master Qi. Later I heard Young Master Qi talking to Young Master Mu and that’s when I found out, but it was too late, so I didn’t say anything,” Xiao Cui said timidly.
"Oh my god, how could this happen, waaaaaah..."
Qi Yushuang started to wail loudly.
Ever since Li Maozhen brought troops to force Qi Jiangfeng into marriage and humiliated him, smashing and destroying the Qi family mansion, the servants of the Qi family have become unfriendly to Qi Yushuang and have been avoiding her.
Seeing Qi Yushuang crying loudly, no one stepped forward to comfort her; they all watched from afar, laughing at her plight.
Qi Yushuang was heartbroken; she never expected things to turn out this way.
To be continued in the next chapter.
