Chapter 409: Who Do You Belong To?
n Luo Yan, as if unwilling to miss any expression on her face. His eyes were filled with greed and longing.His intense gaze made her skin crawl. Qin Luoyan stood up and poured herself a cup of hot tea...Just as he turned, Qin Luoyan's pupils suddenly constricted.
"Wait a moment." Qin Luoyan called out to him.
The middle-aged man paused, then turned around, a still smiling face, "Miss, do you have any other instructions"
"We...haven't we met somewhere before" Qin Luoyan said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
The middle-aged man's smile paused for a moment, but it was only for an instant. A smile still lingered in his eyes and eyebrows. "Where did the young lady get that I just arrived a few days ago and haven't had the chance to come here yet. If it weren't for Little Li taking leave today, I probably wouldn't have gotten the chance to serve you. Besides, with such a stunning beauty as yours, if I had seen you before, I definitely would have remembered."
"Oh" Qin Luoyan raised her voice, looking at him with a half-smile, "But I somehow feel like I've seen you somewhere before"
“That’s definitely impossible, the young lady must have mistaken you for someone else. It seems like she has a very common face. Many people have said they’ve seen her before.” The middle-aged man chuckled with a natural expression, showing no trace of awkwardness. This state either meant what he said was true – Qin Luoyan had gotten the wrong person – or that he was a master of disguise, a professional at his craft.
Qin Luo Yan fell silent, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak. She just stared at him intently, without giving any indication that she wanted him to leave.
As time passed, the middle-aged houseman became increasingly uncomfortable under her gaze. Gradually, his hands and feet started to become stiff and awkward.
Suddenly, Qin Luoyan smiled faintly and asked, "It's been a long time. Your wound healed quickly, didn't it You drove for half a month to see me. It must have been hard."
As soon as she spoke, the middle-aged servant's face changed color, but he quickly adjusted and continued to feign ignorance, saying, "Miss, what are you talking about I'm getting more and more confused."
"Don't understand" Qin Luoyan snorted coldly, "When you went to Spring City, you drove a carriage for me all the way. Although we didn't spend much time together, it was at least ten days. You forgot so quickly The reward I gave you wasn't low, and besides, I saved you. Oh, no, looking at the current situation, even if I hadn't saved you back then, those two probably wouldn't have hurt you either. I just meddled in other people's business."
She had said so much, enough to show she had confirmed her guess. The middle-aged servant's expression finally cracked, but his mouth remained tight-lipped, "Miss, what are you talking about Back then I was just a farmer at home, where could I afford a carriage, let alone make a living driving one..."
"How much longer are you going to pretend" Qin Luoyan shook her head and sneered, "Who are you You've been following me all this way, and now you've even snuck into here. But you definitely aren't one of Zhao Cheng's people, or else you wouldn't have just shown up now. Alright, I won't force you to say anything, but if you don't, then I'll just have to ask General Zhao Cheng himself. A spy has snuck into my courtyard, so how should I deal with this"
What should we do Zhao Cheng is not as easy to talk to as Qin Luo Yan. If he falls into Zhao Cheng's hands, will there be any way out
Perhaps Qin Luoyan's threat worked, the middle-aged houseman hesitated before saying, "How did you discover me" He thought he had hidden for many years, and no matter what disguise he wore, he could be very convincing without revealing any flaws. That's why he was able to hide in Rong's family for so long. Over the years, he had never been caught in the act before.
"You finally admitted it" Qin Luo'yan smiled seductively, her posture on the noblewoman's couch becoming even more relaxed. "It's actually quite simple, just look at your thumb."
"Your thumb" The middle-aged house servant raised his hand and looked at it repeatedly, really couldn't see what was wrong. Helplessly, he asked again, "Please tell me clearly, miss."
"There's a bluish-black tinge to the calluses on your thumb, and there's a small scar beside your nail." Qin Luoyan pointed at his hand.
The middle-aged domestic worker took a closer look and sure enough, he saw that the callus on his thumb was different from the others. As for the small scar, it was very small, not even the size of a fingernail edge, and after so many years, it had faded to the point where you couldn't see it unless you looked closely. He didn't expect that such a small detail wouldn't have escaped Qin Luoyan's eagle eye.
"Miss, you are clever, it is truly admirable." The middle-aged houseman said this with sincerity, having put aside his usual tactfulness.
Qin Luoyan merely smiled faintly, but inwardly she let out a sigh of relief. Actually, for such a small detail, she might not remember it clearly. It's just that as a craftsman who was used to working with her hands like her, she paid more attention to other people's hands than others. In her impression, she felt like she had seen these hands before, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't remember. However, when the middle-aged servant turned around, she suddenly realized it when she saw his back. But she still couldn't be completely sure, so she played a psychological game. She remained silent, and the middle-aged servant became even more nervous. The more nervous he was, the more it showed that there was something wrong.
Her bold attempt, a feigned act, surprisingly hit the mark.
"Now, can you tell me why you've been following me all this way Who exactly are you" Qin Luoyan wouldn't tell him that she had only half-guessed and half-figured out who he was.
The middle-aged man suddenly knelt down before her, performing a grand bow. "Please, miss, spare the life of this lowly one. I truly cannot tell you who I am. If I do, my life would be forfeit. But I can assure you, I followed you only to protect you from harm. If you are in danger, I will use my life to protect you!"
"Were you sent by someone to protect me" Qin Luoyan caught the meaning in his words, but her expression clearly didn't believe him. "You've been secretly following me all this way, and now you even followed me here, yet you tell me you're here to protect me Isn't that rather ridiculous"
“Miss, think carefully. On this journey, have I done anything to harm you Especially when we went to Spring City, it was only the two of us the whole way. If I truly wanted to do something, wouldn't it have been easier then Why would I wait until you were inside this iron cage to sneak in”
The middle-aged house servant spoke with such conviction that Qin Luoyan was momentarily unsure what to think. However, she couldn't for the life of her remember who would have sent someone to protect her when she first arrived at the border of Man Country.
By the way, this person appeared after she left Fu Zimu. At that sensitive time point, for someone like this to appear couldn't help but make her suspicious.
"You... are Fu Zimo's person" When she asked this question, Qin Luoyan's throat ached terribly, her very soul trembling slightly, unsure if it was from hope or shame.
