Chapter 4: Disguised as a Man

r brother and needed to go find him. What could I do" 。The old woman was also wronged. 。 The old man also chimed in, persuading her: "Girl, it was I who saved you. Back then, I truly didn't see an...In the late afternoon, the snow stopped. The sky was overcast and there was no sunset glow.

Qin Luo'yan and Wutong, each with a small package, were driven out of the Qin Residence. Outside the residence, a dilapidated carriage had been waiting for some time.

The driver, an elderly man with slightly gray temples, jumped down from the carriage when he saw the two emerge. He tucked his braid into Wutong's hand and said, "Madam said that this journey is long and there are many things to attend to at home, so she will no longer send someone to escort the fourth young lady. You can keep this carriage, it's for your use at the villa. There is no need to rush back."

“This is simply too much,” Wu Tong said, seeing the carriage covered in dust and with several small holes along the edges. Such a carriage was clearly one that had already been discarded from the mansion, “How can someone ride in such a carriage What if Fourth Miss falls ”

"Where's the gold Acting like a young lady from a general's household! I just ran out of the carriage and didn't see you fall. Forget it, forget it, just go away." The old man grumbled a few curses and turned to go inside.

The sycamore tree saw the back door close and looked at Qin Luoyan with grievance, "Miss, it's almost dark, sending me out at this time is intentional to let us sleep in the wild."

"Sleeping rough" Qin Luoyan sneered, stroking Wutong's head. "Silly girl, you're still too naive."

"Miss, you mean..." Wutong was confused.

Qin LuoYan shook her head, "Alright, did you get the things I asked you to pick up from the pharmacy"

The tung tree nodded, taking out a bag of powder from the package. "The doctor said this medicine powder is specially used to poison rats. It's very potent, one bag can kill several cows."

Qin Luo yan took the medicinal powder, then from her own package took out a dagger. The dagger was very sharp, reflecting a pale white light in the evening sun.

"Miss, you…" Wutong widened her eyes.

Qin Luo Yan carefully applied the medicinal powder to the dagger, "Let's go. Whether we can gain freedom depends on tonight."

"Miss, I'm a little scared." Wutong followed Qin Luo's footsteps, unconsciously hugging her package tightly.

Qin Luo smoked faintly, a smile blooming brightly in the setting sun. She said, "Rest assured, I will protect you."

Wutong didn't know that at that moment, such a smile was imprinted in her memory, until many years later, relying on this warm memory, she endured the torment of life worse than death for several years.

When the two arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. This was an expected outcome, so Qin Luoyan brought Wutong to stay at a nearby inn.

He asked the shopkeeper for a secluded small room. Wutong led the broken carriage to the backyard to settle, while Qin Luoyan returned to the room and changed into men's clothing.

When two girls go out, wearing dresses always brings many inconveniences.

When Wutong returned to the room, she saw Qin Luoyan dressed in men's clothing. She was so shocked that her eyes widened, "Miss, with this attire, even I wouldn't recognize you if I didn't look closely. And your Adam's apple is done just right."

Qin Luo'yan smiled faintly, "The Japanese makeup skills I learned before are still a little useful. This is yours, put it on quickly, I'll go to the front hall to order food, come find me when you're done changing."

Wutong took the clothes and nodded, still unable to help but size her up. She had never known that her young mistress had this skill.

But what does Japan mean

It was getting dark, which meant it was dinner time, so the inn's front hall was bustling. Qin Luoyan found a corner spot and sat down, beckoning over a shop assistant to order some small dishes.

"It is said that the madam of Chun Yue Lou died mysteriously last night."

"There are rumors that the Chun Yue Lou has ties to many influential figures in Yun Cheng. It's hard to believe that someone would dare to act so brazenly against the people of Chun Yue Lou."

"No, it wasn't. And after the officials went to see it, they said it was an accident."

"Hush, speak softly. Even the officials wouldn't dare investigate this, so let's not discuss it."

A few young men who had just entered the shop walked up to the second-floor private room with sullen expressions. Qin Luoyan, who was sipping tea, heard their conversation and paused, her movements stilled. Even the government officials didn't dare to provoke him, but he was King Wu Xuan

Is the king looking for her whereabouts Wasn't that man known to be fickle and abandon people after he was done with them Shouldn't she avoid him, as it would suit his intentions perfectly

Qin Luoyan furrowed her brows, put down her teacup, and suddenly lost the interest in drinking tea.

The waiter served the dishes very quickly, bringing up several small plates in just a short while. Qin Luoyan was worried and stirred her rice with chopsticks, but she had no appetite at all.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of silver bells came from afar. She was startled, looked up, and saw a group of people walking into the inn in a dusty and weary manner.

There were seven or eight people in total, all smelling of herbs. The one at the front seemed to have difficulty with his legs and was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by someone behind him.

The sound of the bell seemed to come from the elder's feet. Qin Luoyan took a closer look, and her eyes lit up involuntarily.

The old man wore a pair of exquisitely crafted anklets adorned with jewels and bells. With every movement, they produced a clear, ringing sound.

To others, it might be just a pair of decorative bells. But to the eyes of a former weapons design expert, these bells are priceless works of art.

For three years, she had been confined to the prison within the general's manor, never stepping outside its doors. She had no opportunity to come into contact with such things. Now, suddenly, there was this near-perfect work of art before her eyes, and she couldn't help but stand up and walk towards it.

"Grandpa, may I take a look at your anklet Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, I promise not to damage it." Qin Luoyan spoke in the gentlest and most sincere voice, her eyes never leaving the anklet from beginning to end.

When the two burly men standing beside the old man heard this, their faces changed slightly. They were about to refuse, but the old man slowly shook his hand and said, "Alright."

With the owner's permission, Qin Luoyan crouched down and leaned over to examine the ankle bracelet carefully.

In the bustling inn, her movements seemed strange, almost humble as she crouched at the elder's feet.

The elderly man in the wheelchair, seeing her look so intently, involuntarily shrank his pupils. His attendant standing behind him looked like he was on high alert.

"Such ingenuity," Qin Luoyan exclaimed, unable to help herself. Then she reached out with her hand.

At that moment, the elder's feet instinctively retreated, but before he could react, a light "crack" sounded and Qin Luoyan had already removed his foot ring.

“Um… I’m really sorry, the design of these leg cuffs is just too ingenious. The way they are installed and removed is so unique, I couldn’t help but try my idea to see if it was right.” Qin Luoyan smiled sheepishly, holding the two leg cuffs in her hands, which made a pleasant tinkling sound with her movements.

She did not notice, at the moment she removed her ankle bracelet, the look of astonishment on the old man and his attendants' faces.
