Chapter 556: Jealous

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wei Zhiqian was about to pick up Qin Murong, but was stopped by Tan Mo, “Wait a minute!”

“What’s wrong?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

“Uncle, don’t touch her!” Tan Mo exclaimed loudly.

Wei Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled.

Was she starting to feel jealous?

“I was just going to pull up her collar,” Wei Zhiqian explained.

“You can’t touch the collar either. With the type of Chinese dress she’s wearing, her collar is closely wrapped around her neck. If you pull up her collar, then won’t you be touching her neck too?” Tan Mo had really thought out every detail. “Don’t you dare!”

Wei Zhiqian was sure now that the little lady was definitely jealous.

Wei Zhiqian’s heart brimmed with joy. Even though Qin Murong was still laying on the ground, he lowered his head and kissed Tan Mo’s lips.

“If I don’t touch her, how are we going to get her out of here?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

“Just leave her on the ground,” Tan Mo said. “When we get out of here later, I’ll go and talk to the elders in the Qin family. I’ll tell them that I was playing here with Muye when I saw her come in. I was worried that she was going to escape the wedding, so I knocked her out.”

Wei Zhiqian was lost for words.

The Qins would never believe that lie.

Wei Zhiqian spoke his thoughts aloud.

“It doesn’t matter if the Qins believes us or not. They can’t risk letting Qin Murong run away anyhow. They can’t let the Hus know that Qin Murong was trying to escape. As to why Qin Murong was here and why she fainted, they can’t afford to dig into any of it.” Tan Mo had figured that out from the start.

Wei Zhiqian chuckled. The little lady had a foolproof plan.

“Give me a minute,” Tan Mo said and walked to the side of Qin Murong’s body.

Tan Mo lowered herself. As she was about to put her hands on Qin Murong’s shoulder, Wei Zhiqian strode over. “Are you going to heal Qin Murong?”

“No, I’m just gonna make her temporarily mute,” Tan Mo answered.

“Otherwise, when she wakes up and starts talking nonsense again, what would become of us?” Tan Mo asked. “So, I’m just going to make sure she can’t speak for the time being. After she gets to Nacheng, she will be back to normal. Even if she tries to sell us out when she gets there, who can she tell?”

Tan Mo pouted. “We should be the ones to talk about whatever’s going on between us. If she exaggerates the whole story, where does that leave us?”

Zhiqian nodded. He didn’t want Qin Murong yelling aloud her sordid assumptions.

After Tan Mo was done with her, Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo walked off.

They left Qin Murong laying there all by herself.

Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo split up. Tan Mo went to tell Qin Muye about what had happened.

She needed Qin Muye to play along to make this work.

When Qin Muye heard what happened, she immediately got angry at Qin Murong for stirring up trouble on such an important day.

She instantly agreed to go with Tan Mo’s plan.

The two went directly to the old Qin couple.

Tan Mo told them the story that she had made up.

Qin Muye was nodding beside Tan Mo, testifying to Tan Mo’s statement.

Old Mister Qin was speechless.

Her granddaughter was selfishly trying to sabotage her own family.

Anyone who heard it would have found the story absurd.

Yet, Qin Muye was nodding away shamelessly.

“Grandpa, she is still laying in the maze.” Qin Muye prompted, “Should we hurry over to see her?”

Old Mister Qin hesitated.

He was mentally exhausted.

“The two of you just left Murong in the maze?” Lu Yiling got up anxiously and rushed out.

Qin Zhengdu glared angrily at Tan Mo and Qin Muye.

Tan Mo replied very innocently, “Sister Murong was too heavy, so we couldn’t lift her.”

Qin Zhengdu was lost for words.

‘Is she saying my daughter is an elephant?

‘Even with the two of you together you couldn’t lift her?’

“Second Uncle, you should hurry up and get to her,” Qin Muye urged. “If someone else sees her there, they’ll know what happened right away.”

Qin Muye suddenly paused. She lowered her voice but still loud enough for Qin Zhengdu to hear clearly. “Obviously, she was trying to escape her wedding. She was planning to hide out in the back garden maze long enough until everyone noticed she was missing. Then, people would start to look everywhere else for her when they couldn’t find her here. After everyone leaves, she would make her escape amidst the chaos.”

“After she leaves the hotel and goes into hiding, it’d be very hard to track her down then,” Qin Muye said.

“That aside, if the Hu family ever finds out…” Qin Muye raised her eyebrows ever so slightly.

Tan Mo stared at the expression on Qin Muye’s face, which reminded her fondly of Qin Mufeng.

Given the fact that those two were siblings, both of their faces were rather alike. On a scale of one to 10, it was at least a six or seven.

When Qin Muye made this playful expression, it seemed as if Qin Mufeng was suddenly standing in front of her.

Qin Zhengdu’s head prickled anxiously.

“Although the Hu family isn’t as powerful as the Qin family, they are still the rulers of the borderland. They won’t stand to bear such humiliation,” Qin Muye said.

Lu Yiling’s face turned pale, finally realizing the severity of the situation.

“Go and bring her back right now!” Lu Yiling grabbed Qin Zhengdu’s arm and growled through gritted teeth.

Old Mister Qin had a scowl on his face. “Be inconspicuous, and don’t cause a scene!”

Old Mister Qin grimaced fiercely at Qin Zhengdu. “No matter what, Qin Murong is going to marry the Hus and move to Nacheng, and that’s final.”

“If the Hu family hears about her running away from her wedding, you can imagine the treatment she will receive when she gets married,” Old Mister Qin said in a deep voice.

Old Madam Qin glanced over Qin Zhengdu and Lu Yiling. “The Hus didn’t become the rulers of the borderland by playing nice. You can see it in Hu Ruixing’s eyes. They’re ferocious.”

Tan Mo felt a shiver down her spine. Even Old Madam Qin had spoken her thoughts.

Qin Muye’s eyes sparkled as she smirked at Tan Mo and whispered, “What do you think? My eyes were convincing, eh?”

Tan Mo grinned happily and gave a big thumbs-up. “Definitely.”

“There are plenty of cruel things that rascal could do that are far beyond our imagination. They may live at the border, but they don’t need to consider as many things as us here in B City. The ways savages act are far beyond our imagination. We may think doing things to a certain extent is enough, but others may not think the same.”

“If they really wanted to torture Qin Murong, I’m sure they’ll find a way somehow,” Old Madam Qin said.

Lu Yiling’s heart ached at the thought. She was worried enough as it is about Qin Murong being married to a family so far away.

And now, something like this happened.

Moreover, she had seen the man in flesh earlier, and Qin Murong was definitely no match against Hu Ruixing.

What if her daughter ended up suffering in Nacheng?

“You two, you’re not allowed to tell anyone else about Qin Murong’s escape,” Old Madam Qin warned Tan Mo and Qin Muye again.

Tan Mo and Qin Muye nodded one after another and said in unison, “We won’t.”

Old Mister Qin impatiently asked Qin Zhengdu, “What are you still standing around for? Hurry and bring Murong back!”

Qin Zhengdu did not wait for a second longer and hurried off.

Qin Muye wanted to watch the excitement, so she dragged Tan Mo along.

She had missed out when Wei Zhiqian knocked out Qin Murong earlier.

Qin Zhengdu did not ask too many people along for fear of arousing suspicion.

He only brought two people with him while Qin Muye and Tan Mo trailed behind them.
