689: Chapter 689: Canât Tell the Truth (6)_1 689: Chapter 689: Canât Tell the Truth (6)_1 âItâs not nonsense,â the servant insisted fearlessly, âThink about it, itâs been over a month and still no improvement, and thereâs all this superstition.
Iâm betting somethingâs been offendedâŠâ âOtherwise, why would there suddenly be so many snakes in the courtyard?â Yet, those snakes donât easily attack people; to date, no servant has been bitten.
Dong Hang fell silent too, for these past days heâd considered it as well, but then the son-in-law prides himself as a scholar and simply refuses to believe.
âI reckon,â the servant said, rubbing his arm as he started to look somewhat terrified, âwe need to bring in a Great Immortal or something to perform some rituals, otherwiseâŠâ
âMm.â Dong Hang nodded.
âIt looks like weâll have to do that.â Being unwell was one thing, but today, if it wasnât for being possessed by something, he probably wouldnât be behaving like this.
Meanwhile, in the room, Yang Baiyue who had just lain down, suddenly sat up and even stepped barefoot onto the floor, because he had heard laughter again.
âI told you that you canât see me, but Iâm right in front of you.
Why wonât you believe it?â Yang Ruxin crunched down on a pear, âAh, really, still so self-righteous.â
Yang Baiyue knelt on the floor with a thump, âGreat Immortal, I really had no choiceâŠâ
âYouâre already sick; donât kneel on the cold floor, be careful or your illness will worsen.
How can you be surrounded by beauty and glory if you have to take medicine every day?â
âI had an accident and lost my memory, really, I was saved by the Mo Family, and they took me as their own son, after thatâŠâ Yang Baiyue sobbed with a runny nose and tears streaming, âI just started to remember something recently, so I hurried back, but I havenât fully remembered yet.
I thought Iâd inquire around a bit, but unexpectedlyâŠâ
âYou really areâŠâ Yang Ruxin scoffed, âDo you take everyone for fools?
And youâre calling me an Immortal?
If itâs obvious, naturally Iâd know the truth, but youâre still trying to fool meâŠ
tsk tskâŠ
Well, you might as well keep goingâŠâ
âItâs not like thatâŠâ Yang Baiyue yelled out anxiously, âReally, itâs not, I really just started to remember a bit of vague memoryâŠâ
âCould Yang Ruyu possibly be facing an impostor of her uncle?â
Yang Baiyueâs eyes nearly bulged out, and he involuntarily swallowed: âWell, a girl did come by, calling me âuncleâ as soon as she saw me, but I had no recollection of her, so I gave her ten taels of silver to send her on her wayâŠâ He could not afford to tell the truth.
Yang Ruxin had only made a casual remark just now, never expecting it to actually explode with the truth.
Of course, this might not necessarily be the real truth, but one thing was for sure: Yang Ruyu and this Yang Baiyue had indeed met.
As for whether they had reached any agreement, thatâŠ
remained to be seen as events unfolded.
âIâm not lyingâŠâ Yang Baiyue continued crying, âI am in pain, but I canât recall anything, Iâm afraid to go back, and moreover, Iâve already married here.
What if I already have a wife back home?
So, I thought Iâd wait and see if I could completely remember before making a decisionâŠâ
Yang Ruxin frowned, she didnât believe that he truly had amnesia, but what exactly did Yang Baiyue do back then?
Even if he desired wealth and status, he could simply have divorced Xun Hui or sold her and then remarry into a wealthy family.
Why go to such lengths?
And was it really this Yang Baiyue behind the widow LĂŒ, after all?
Instead, she felt even more confused!
