Chapter 78: Confrontation

Luoyan asked nervously. 。Mr. Zhou saw her panting and gasping for breath, so he poured her a cup of tea before saying, "Your friend isn't just mentally ill; she has poison in her body too. It's a poi...Jin and Chu quickly prepared what Qin Luo Yan wanted. Qin Luo Yan took the tools, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to board the ship. At the moment of boarding, the boat rocked, and she, in her long dress, almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Yin Qi quickly followed up and held her waist steady.

After Qin Luo'yan steadied herself, Yin Qi quickly retracted his hand from her waist. Everything stopped at propriety and there was no transgression.

However, when this scene fell into the eyes of those with malicious intent from afar, it turned into a sneer.

Fu Zimo, who was originally walking in that direction, saw this scene and his steps came to a halt. A faint smile still played on his face, not even a wrinkle on his brow, as if this scene had no effect on him whatsoever.

But, Kaneki still instinctively took a step back.

"Jin Mu, give the order. Today... This king will personally board the ship!" Fu Zi Mo said this calmly before turning and heading back the way they came.

Kimu stood there, stunned. When he came to his senses, he quickly chased after him, “Your Highness, with your precious body, how can you personally participate in the boat race”

"Jin Mu, when will my decisions be questioned by you" His words already revealed his displeasure.

Jinmu knew that he couldn't disobey his master at this time, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

On that end, Qin Luoyan took the tools and knocked on the boat at Zuo Xiangfu's boat race. After a while, she wiped her sweat and jumped off the boat.

This scene was also witnessed by those who had previously wanted to inquire about the news. It turned out that the woman who appeared beside Lord Yin was a craftsman, who came to reinforce Lord Yin's racing boat for him. She was definitely not a beloved concubine, and there had never been any mention of Lord Yin particularly caring for any woman before.

A drummer walked along the road, announcing that the boat race would begin shortly. He told all participants to be ready and asked everyone else to leave the area.

Yin Qi then led Qin Luoyan and the others back along the road. Just as they reached the shore, they encountered the group of people who had set up a gambling den in that building earlier. Yin Qi saw them, took out a silver note and walked over to bet on the Left Xiangfu winning. He then turned his head and said, "Miss Qin, are you going to place a bet this time"

Qin Luoyan smiled faintly and said, "That goes without saying." As she spoke, she also took out a hundred taels of silver to bet on the left prime minister's mansion.

Several people held the betting contracts and were about to retract them as they watched the boat race from the second floor of a teahouse. Suddenly, they heard a deafening roar from the crowd gathered along the bank.

Everyone was confused and looked in that direction, but there were too many people and the noise was too loud. They couldn't tell what had happened.

Soon, Jin and Chu sent scouts back to report that King Wu of Xuan would personally participate in the boat race.

Prince Wuxuan personally appeared, no wonder the common people were so excited that they screamed. For someone who could only be seen in legends, it was enough to boast about for a lifetime just seeing him.

"If King Wuxuan personally takes the field, then our guaranteed victory will be greatly diminished." Yin Qi frowned, looking at Qin Luoyan with worry, "Perhaps, miss, you should bet more on King Wuxuan"

"No, there are unforeseen circumstances in life. You lose, you lose." Qin Luoyan's face was calm, but a touch of helplessness unconsciously flickered in her eyes. Ever since she got involved with that man, her life had never gone according to plan.

Yin Qi had originally asked with a hint of probing. Receiving Qin Luo Yan's response, the smile on his face deepened somewhat. Suddenly, he played with his sleeves and threw the jade pendant at his side to Jin Chu.

"Master, this is..."

Before Jin and Chu could react, Yin Qi strode towards the arena. "It doesn't matter if I lose my silver, how can I let Lady Qin also lose her silver with me If King Wu Xuan can personally compete, why can't I"

In the blink of an eye, a tall man appeared on the racing boat from the Left Minister's residence. Someone shouted, "It's Yin Qi, the Left Minister!" Then, just as boisterous and chaotic, cheers erupted from the shore.

In the distance, Yin Qi stood on the racing boat and waved to the shore. Qin Luoyan stared blankly at this beaming man. She should have felt touched, but for some reason, there was a moment when she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Miss Qin, shall we go to the teahouse to watch the competition" Jin Chu asked from the side.

Qin Luo moved her gaze away from Yin Qi and replied, "No, it's better to watch from here on the shore. We can see more clearly."

"Alright, but Miss Qin, you must stay close to me. This riverbank is dangerous. If you fall in, the water is freezing cold, I'm serious." Jin Chu gave a few more warnings, then led everyone to the riverbank. He even stood beside them, keeping the crowd at bay.

The sound of drums echoed, and almost in an instant, the race began. All the boats surged forward at top speed, accompanied by waves of cheers from the spectators.

As expected, leading the way were those from General Wei's mansion, Minister of the Left's residence, and Prince Wu Xuan's estate. However, because both Prince Wu Xuan and Minister Yin Qi had personally joined the race, the cheers for their respective families far outshone those of the other estates.

"Well, this is a coincidence, Qin girl."

Amidst the boisterous cheers, a crisp female voice suddenly appeared behind Qin Luoyan. Qin Luoyan turned her head and saw the last person she wanted to see, Xiao Changyue.

Xiao Changyue arrived at the bank with several attendants. Her attendants cleared a path for her, and she effortlessly stood beside Qin Luoyan.

"Quite a coincidence," Qin Luoyan said, glancing involuntarily to the side. Seeing Jin Chu standing beside her, she felt a little more at ease. It wasn't that she harbored ill intentions, it was just that she didn't have much good feeling towards Xiao大小姐, "This riverside is where ordinary people come to watch the boat race. How did Miss Xiao, with such a privileged upbringing, end up here"

"I didn't come here just because I saw Miss Qin was here, did I" In front of others, Xiao Changyue was always composed and elegant.

Qin Luoyan had no mind to play games with her, she turned her head back to continue watching the boat race. At this moment, the race was already halfway through, and both the boats from the Wuxuan Wangfu and the Zuoxiangfu had overtaken the one from Wei General's Mansion. As long as nothing unexpected happened, the final first place would definitely be between these two families.

And Qin Luoyan and the others were at the edge of the bank, which was precisely in the middle of the race course. The two racing boats were closest to them at this very moment.

Er Ya and Hu Er roared with all their might to cheer for Yin Qi. Yin Qi seemed to hear the sound and, amidst his busy schedule, actually glanced in this direction.

And on the other racing boat, King Wu Xuan was unexpectedly also looking in this direction.
