The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 423: The Wulin Leader’s Fiancée (39)

"Who are you?" Murong Fengyu's voice was icy cold, her eyes flashing with anger, and she held He Chu's wrist tightly.

He Chu widened his eyes and looked at Murong Fengyu in front of him in disbelief.

She never imagined that she had always been confident in her disguise and never thought that the day would come when she would be exposed.

Faced with Murong Fengyu's questioning, He Chu panicked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

She was about to open her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Murong Fengyu: "Don't try to quibble! If you were really a man, how could you be so thin and slender? And you don't even have an Adam's apple.

You even dared to take Xumi powder to cover up the truth!"

He Chu's face turned pale as paper, and she finally understood that Murong Fengyu had been holding her hand just now to confirm the effectiveness of Xumi Powder.

She couldn't help but feel a moment of panic, but she immediately calmed down. She only dressed as a man to make it easier for her to travel around, and she had no intention of harming anyone.

"Madam, please listen to my explanation!" He Chu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Things are not what you think... The reason why I concealed my gender was just out of helplessness.

Madam, you have also disguised yourself as a man and traveled around the world, so you should understand my difficulties better.

I am sincere in my vows to your son, and there is no falsehood at all!"

Beitang Jing was also shocked when he saw this scene, although he already knew that He Chu was a woman through his experience in his previous life.

But he never thought of exposing her. After all, everyone has their own difficulties.

But what Beitang Jing didn't expect was that just by meeting her and taking her pulse, his mother would be able to see through her identity.

In his previous life, He Chu had never met Murong Fengyu, so he naturally would not have thought that his mother had such ability. He wanted to speak up and persuade her, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Murong Fengyu's sidelong glance.

Beitang Jing shrank back instinctively, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Murong Fengyu was very satisfied with her son's performance, but she had other things to deal with right now: "What a sincere person!"

Murong Fengyu stared at He Chu sharply, "No matter what your reasons are, deception is always unforgivable. Now that you have mixed up with my son, what is your purpose?"

He Chu bit her lip and decided to be honest. "I have no ill will towards your son. When we became sworn brothers, I just thought that he and my elder brother were both chivalrous men with great martial arts skills. It's not easy for a woman like me to travel the world, so I just wanted an extra layer of protection."

Murong Fengyu frowned slightly: "Just to find a backer?"

He Chu pondered for a moment before saying, "Madam, I am different from a chivalrous woman like you who comes from a famous family. If I want to survive, I will inevitably think too much."

Murong Fengyu stared at He Chu, seeming to be thinking about the truthfulness of what she said.

After a long time, she slowly loosened her grip on He Chu's hand, "Well, I'll trust you for once. But if you dare to harm my son, I will not let you off easily."

He Chu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly in response: "Thank you, Madam, for your tolerance."

At this time, Beitang Jing finally found an opportunity to interrupt, "Mom, although He Chu concealed something, she has never harmed anyone, and she is also injured now. You see..."

Murong Fengyu glanced at Beitang Jing, and after a brief thought, she said, "Then let her stay here to recover! If there is anything, we can talk about it after she recovers!"

"By the way, what's your real name?" Murong Fengyu turned around and asked, "He Chu shouldn't be your real name!"

"My real name is He Ruochu." He Ruochu lowered his head and answered softly.

Murong Fengyu pondered her name several times: "Why are you so pitiful? This name doesn't really suit you!"

"Mother!" Beitang Jing spoke out to stop her. His name was given by his parents, and he didn't want his mother to be like this.

Murong Fengyu seemed to realize that her behavior just now was inappropriate, so she said, "Take good care of your injuries!" and left her son's yard.

Not long after she left, Doctor Qin also came.

"Young Master, I was at fault for not identifying her as a girl." Doctor Qin felt He Ruochu's pulse again and said, "The prescription for nourishing the body needs to be readjusted. There are a few blood-activating herbs that need to be replaced."

"Sorry to bother you, Doctor Qin." Beitang Jing politely escorted him out of the yard, "Doctor Qin, please stay."

"Young Master, do you have anything in mind?" When Doctor Qin saw Beitang Jing following out, he knew that he must have something he didn't want to ask in front of the girl named "He Ruochu".

"Old Qin knows me." Beitang Jing bowed and asked, "I don't understand, my mother can feel the pulse of someone who has taken Xumi Powder, how can she..."

Doctor Qin coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "Young Master! As the saying goes, 'every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses'. Although your friend has taken Xumi powder, it has been a long time since then and I cannot diagnose him as normal.

As for the manor owner's wife! Maybe it's because she ate too much of it back then, so she is particularly familiar with Xumi Powder."

Old Qin: Will I be silenced if I reveal the secrets of the manor owner’s wife?
