Chapter 691 “Impersonate (3)”
“Miss Huan Yin,” Ho Cui Cui coughs awkwardly to clear her throat after seeing how quick the girl ran over. “Saving you is sothing I should duly do, there’s no need for you to bow to .”
In the ignorant wench’s mind, all those amazing people should have so level of air around their themselves to differentiate from the common folks. And since she herself had beco Huan Yin’s savior, she mustn’t lose out and decides to act smart to put on the act. Unfortunately for the once chubby fool, that’s a total miss on her end.
Nearly coming to a stumbling halt, the hopeful guest known as Huan Yin now shows a wary look. When did I bow to her, how co I didn’t know?
“Miss Ho, what’s wrong with your voice? Why do I feel like your voice has changed?” She asks, pursing her lip in the process.
Thankfully Ho Cui Cui herself still had a veil on right now, otherwise the expression she made in that instant would’ve been a big giveaway.
“Oh, I’m just a little uncomfortable in the throat. It’s normal for soone’s voice to change after going through what I did. It will heal in due ti.”
Nodding her head in understanding, Huan Yin imdiately asked again with another idea: “I have here so dicine to help heal your weakened body, would you like so?”
“This…. There’s no need,” Ho Cui Cui hurries to shake her head. “With my ability and strength, a little injury like this is nothing. So Miss Huan Yin, is there anything you need in coming to see ?”
Now the wariness was quickly growing inside her. Huan Yin may not know why but sothing iffy was up and she couldn’t quite figure out why.
“Miss Ho, where is that fox of yours?” Forcing a smile, she decides to go in a roundabout way to get so more information.
“Fox?” Staring wide eyed, Ho Cui Cui beca puzzled.
That was enough for the already suspicious girl to reaffirm there’s sothing really wrong here. Huan Yin and Bai Yan may not be actual friends, but that doesn’t an she’s blind. During the ride on the Dragon Boat, the girl could see how important that silvery fox was to the veiled female.
“You know, the silvery fox you were keeping by your arm’s length at all tis during the incident?”
Silvery fox?
Getting anxious as well now knowing she’s screwed up, the fake hurries to make up a lie using a soft tone: “My poor fox was eaten by the dragons that day….”
“So that’s why,” not going to start prying, Huan Yin knew she’s overstepped her boundries after seeing the fake sorrow in the other side’s face. Taking a step back, “Miss Ho, I ca today in order to thank you for saving . In addition, I’m also here to formally invite you to my ho for a visit after your injuries are healed. My father would like to personally thank you for the deed. It’s getting late and I should stop disturbing your rest.”
“Aehhh!” The first instinct Ho Cui Cui had there after hearing this was to reach out to stop this. Unfortunately for this deceiving wench, Huan Yin’s legs were much faster than those fingers.
Sighing over the departing figure: “That Huan Yin is too kind to , she’s obviously only leaving so fast in order to let rest. No matter, I will grace her with my presence once I’m in good health.”
Quit worrying you fool. The impersonation worked, otherwise she wouldn’t have invited yourself to her ho just now. She kept murmuring this to herself as if its so kind of spell.
……
Back outside the Mu Manor’s doorway, Huan Yin was just about to board her carriage when the maid she brought along spoke up: “Miss, weren’t you really excited to et Miss Ho? Why did you, back there…?”
Halting in her step over that question, she turns and stared aningfully into the general direction of the inside: “This person, sothing’s not quite right about her.”
“What?” the maid exclaims.
“I don’t know why but I just feel there’s sothing very wrong about her. Though my interaction with the woman that day is short and brief, but the air and temperant this Ho Cui Cui gave is completely different.” Biting her lip, Huan Yin knew she couldn’t let this slide: “We’re going back first, I need to let my father know about this so he can investigate the matter further!”
