Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine

Chapter 329 Tear off Your Mask

Mu Qingyu confidently looked at Qin Yunuan. The latter looked back fearlessly, tilted her head and said, “Your Highness threaten Changxi to marry you with 200,000 reinforcements. Are you that desperate to get married?”

Mu Qingyu shook her head and put down the comb in her hand. “I have so many admirers, but sadly, I don’t like any one of them. In comparison, I think Leng Changxi, who is handsome and talented, is my best choice. Besides, only I am good enough for such a wonderful man.”

Qin Yunuan smiled with disdain and said, “I didn’t expect you should have such an idea in your mind. So, you just pretended to be tender and virtuous while we were in West Xia? You’re really good at this.”

Then they heard some noise outside. Mu Qingyu raised her eyebrows and suddenly stood up. She whispered to Qin Yunuan, “But my show is not over yet. Ho, just wait and see.”

All of a sudden, Mu Qingyu pushed Qin Yunuan hard. Not expecting this, Qin Yunuan directly fell down to the ground.

“You...” Qin Yunuan hadn’t finished yet. But Mu Qingyu already screamed, “Madam Leng, what are you doing? If you don’t like that I am close with General Leng, I will keep distance with him. But why did you hurt me?”

Nearly at the same time, the curtain was pulled back, letting a gust of wind blow in. Qin Yunuan got nervous, and then she heard a deep and attractive male voice. “Nuan, why are you here?”

Qin Yunuan still reclined on the ground. Mu Qingyu really pushed her hard, and now her wrist was terribly hurt. Qin Yunuan had recognized the voice, with no need to look back to confirm. It belonged to Leng Changxi. He sounded strict and dissatisfied.

Mu Qingyu, who was arrogant and haughty just now, suddenly became weak. She covered her fair and thin wrist. There was blood flowing along her bare arm down to the ground. With tears in her eyes, she aroused people’s sympathy.

A sharp blood-stained dagger that came out of nowhere was laid on the ground. The dagger was pointed at Mu Qingyu while the hilt, at Qin Yunuan.

Mu Qingyu said with tears in her eyes, “Madam Leng, I know you don’t like me. But can we just solve problems through dialogues? If you want me to keep distance with General Leng, I will. But why did you choose to hurt me? If you were not General Leng’s loved one, I would get back at you.”

What a good actress.

Qin Yunuan shook her head with a bitter smile. She had plotted against others for nearly 20 years but should be fooled by such a trick.

Qin Yunuan heard Leng Changxi said over her head, “She’s not my loved one anymore.”

Hearing the noise outside, Maner and Ting Xue walked in immediately and supported Qin Yunuan to stand up. Qin Yunuan put up with the pain and slowly walked to Mu Qingyu who pretended to be scared. She looked as if she was really scared of Qin Yunuan, so that Leng Changxi couldn’t help scolding Qin Yunuan, “What a virago! What are you going to do?”

“Virago?” Qin Yunuan looked back at Leng Changxi disappointingly. “I’m a virago? Do you still remember who held me into his arms and promised to protect me and trust me forever? If I tell you that it suffered from all her own actions because I was invited by her to show her strength deliberately, and she wanted to threaten you to marry her with the reinforcements? Do you still trust me?”

One woman here was a beautiful and charming infanta of West Xia, while another was his wife whose eyes were full of tears. Just taking a glance at Qin Yunuan coldly, Leng Changxi directly answered, “All those don’t matter now. Even Her Highness doesn’t order those 200,000 soldiers to help me, I’m still willing to marry her.”

“General,” Mu Qingyu shyly replied while looking down. Leng Changxi ignored Qin Yunuan and directly walked past her, making her stumble. But she heard Leng Changxi said to another woman in a gentle voice, “Are you alright? I will ask doctors to have a check on you.”

“Don’t bother,” Mu Qingyu said in an even more charming voice. “I’ve practiced martial arts for long and always got injured. This is not a big deal for me. I’m willing to take this as long as it helps Madam Leng give vent to her anger.”

Still pretending?

Qin Yunuan lost her temper, turned her head and said to Mu Qingyu viciously, “Your Highness, you know what exactly happened just now. Don’t you feel guilty to lie?”

“Shut up!” Leng Changxi turned to Qin Yunuan and scolded her coldly.

“What?” Qin Yunuan seemed to not believe that Leng Changxi asked her to shut up.

“I say, shut your mouth up,” Leng Changxi repeated while indifferently looking at Qin Yunuan as if she was a stranger. “Now that you love to stay here, why not move in? I will still ask people to send food and clothes to you. However, don’t get close to Her Highness anymore.” Then he took a look at the dagger and continued, “You’re crazy.”

Staring at Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan had thought about a lot. She was full of unwillingness, disappointment and strong hatred. But at last, she said nothing and just turned around to leave.

“Madam,” Maner and Ting Xue followed at once. Hearing Leng Changxi was comforting Mu Qingyu in the tent, Qin Yunuan felt heartbroken and strode to leave.

When Qin Yunuan left, Mu Qingyu shook her head and said to Leng Changxi in a regretful tone, “General, is it okay for you to treat her like this? You’ve been through a lot and loved each other very much. It’s not worth doing so for me.”

Leng Changxi seemed to disdain to mention Qin Yunuan. “She deserves this. Give her the cold shoulder for a few days, and she will know she’s wrong and won’t make any trouble for you. By the way, reinforcements will come tomorrow. Is it fine to ask soldiers to open the gate around 7 in the morning?”

Mu Qingyu raised her eyebrows without letting Leng Changxi notice that and replied, “It’s hard for 200,000 soldiers to enter the camp just through one gate at the same time. How about also opening the eastern gate? So I can ask my lieutenant to lead soldiers to come in through that gate to save time.”

Leng Changxi was considering and said, “But the eastern gate faces towards the Luguan. I’m afraid if we open the gate, Sima Ray’s troops will sneak in with our reinforcements.”

“How could?” Mu Qingyu shook her head and added, “It won’t take long. Sima Ray is unable to make any response. General, do you trust me?”

Mu Qingyu’s voice was so soft that Leng Changxi suddenly became softhearted. He looked at her with a smile as if she was his rare confidant. He nodded with a smile and said, “Of course, I trust you. I will tell them to open the eastern gate too.”

The next day, colorful flags flew in the air. Soldiers in the camp all knew their reinforcements would arrive today. Camp gates were already open, and the camp was further fortified to prevent any sneak attack of Sima Ray. But luckily, nothing went wrong when reinforcements entered the camp. Leng Wu, who guarded the western gate, was counting soldiers, while Leng Changxi guarded the eastern one with Tuoba Wuyu and others. They made preparations to welcome the most powerful troop of cavalries, as well as taking precautions against Sima Ray on the other hand.

“General, don’t worry. Sima Ray won’t know that we open the eastern gate. Even if he does, he has no time to plan a sneak attack,” said Mu Qingyu who wore a gentle smile. Her wrist had been bound up with gauze. But she just claimed that she cut herself by accident, so left a good impression on people who “knew” it was actually Qin Yunuan who hurt her.

While talking, they saw a cloud of dust in the distance, so they were unable to tell whose troops were coming to them. Suddenly, Mu Qingyu put on a weird smile, which she hadn’t shown before.

“General, Sima Ray’s soldiers in yellow armor are heading to our eastern gate.”

Hearing this, Leng Changxi frowned but didn’t look nervous. Even Tuoba Wuyu who was hotheaded said nothing.

“General, you are indeed calm,” said Mu Qingyu who looked at Leng Changxi with a smile. Her expression somehow looked unnatural as if she wore a mask. Her look was scary.

Leng Changxi didn’t take a glance at Mu Qingyu but just stared at Qi’s army which was nearer and nearer. He said, “Baili, you know me well, right? I never get worried when I’m completely sure to win a fight.”

Mu Qingyu shivered and didn’t know what to say. But Tuoba Wuyu and another lieutenant already grasped her wrists. A troop of cavalries, who took arrows with them, suddenly showed up and besieged Qi’s imposing army that came to attack Leng Changxi’s soldiers but fell into enemies’ trap. Qi’s soldiers got flustered, and horses ran in a disordered way. Then Leng Changxi slowly turned his head and looked at Mu Qingyu sharply. “You’re truly good at disguise. Even I didn’t recognize you at first sight. What a pity. My girl did.”

His girl must refer to Qin Yunuan.

Right at this time, Qin Yunuan appeared.

A good figure walked out. Qin Yunuan held a tame mare with a bright smile on her face. Yuanyang and Leng Shuang walked next to her with each holding a pot of seemingly clean water.

“Mr. Baili, your disguise skills are wonderful. You can change not only your appearance but also your voice and facial expressions. Even Changxi can’t compare with you in this. But it’s a pity that you don’t know Her Highness very well so miss details which determine whether you can succeed.”

Now, Mu Qingyu looked hideous. She smiled in a weird way and said to Leng Changxi, “So, you saw me through long ago. You just pretended to break up last night, right? Haha, I thought I was the cleverest man in the world, but I should lose to you. It’s just because our master was partial to you. He taught you everything but was not open enough to me.”

“Oh, no, no,” Leng Changxi who shook his head said, “Baili, you should know that even with our master’s help, you are unable to make improvements in some areas, like your intelligence.”
