Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1696: Chapter 1697: Give This to My Wife

Master Feng did not answer immediately but turned his head and said towards the outside, ”Come in.”

As soon as the three words were spoken, shortly after, one more person entered the secret room, looking exactly like Meng Lanqing.

If Meng Lanqing hadn’t been standing right next to Xiao Changyi, everyone would have probably thought it was Meng Lanqing himself.

Seeing someone who looked just like him, Meng Lanqing was speechless: ”...”

”Husband, he looks just like you! How amusing!” Unlike Meng Lanqing’s complex feelings, Gong Juese was quite excited. If Meng Lanqing hadn’t pulled her back, she would have liked to ask if that person was Meng Lanqing’s long-lost brother.

In Meng Zhuqing’s mind: ... Could I have been swapped when I was a child? Is this person my brother’s real sibling?

... Have I been bullied by my brother for years for nothing?

”Young Master Xiao, I am Jia (Fake) Lanqing.” The person cupped his hands towards Xiao Changyi, speaking in a bland tone. He was actually the Right Protector of the Slayer Tower, simply disguised as Meng Lanqing.

Xiao Changyi remained calm and composed, ”Your Excellency’s face-changing technique is impressive.” After a pause, he continued, ”I had heard rumors of this face-changing art before, and seeing it today, those rumors are true.”

Only at this point did Meng Zhuqing and the others realize that this person who looked exactly like Meng Lanqing was in disguise.

The Right Protector said indifferently, ”Whether true or false, I bear no ill will towards Young Master Xiao.”

”Mm.” Xiao Changyi nodded, expressing his trust. He was already convinced in his heart that these people were sent by Gong Juechen. As he trusted that Gong Juechen would not harm him, he naturally believed this person’s words now.

”Then who are you?” Now knowing that this person was disguised and not really resembling her husband, Gong Juese was less polite and straightforwardly asked the Right Protector’s identity.

Right Protector still replied indifferently: ”Regardless of who I am, I am here to help Young Master Xiao.”

After a pause, the Left Protector also said calmly to Xiao Changyi, ”Young Master Xiao, I will disguise myself as Dongfang Tianyang to bring your wife out, but I fear your wife might not willingly follow me, so I came to find you, hoping to get something from you to prove it, so your wife will trust me.”

Xiao Changyi thought for a moment, then removed the silver ring his wife had given him from his ring finger and said, ”Show this to my wife, and she will trust you.”

The Right Protector accepted the silver ring, carefully putting it away while saying, ”There are still people outside searching for you house by house, so you’d better not go out. If I safely bring out your wife, I will naturally bring her here to reunite with you.”

”Thank you.”

The Right Protector did not say anything further, just cupped his hands towards Xiao Changyi again before turning and leaving.

Master Feng also cupped his hands towards Xiao Changyi, then left the secret room together with the Right Protector.

Meng Lanqing watched the two leave with some concern and said, ”Sir, can they really be trusted?”

Xiao Changyi said nothing more, just nodded slightly, indicating they could be trusted.

...

That night, the Right Protector took a few people and infiltrated the Dongqing Imperial Palace.

The Right Protector also disguised these few people, making them resemble Dongfang Tianyang’s guards.

Once they infiltrated the Imperial Palace, they took off their Night Clothes, revealing the clothes that matched their current disguised identities.

Subsequently, the Right Protector, with Dongfang Tianyang’s face, walked openly and freely inside the palace towards the Quiet Heart Garden.

Not a single person felt guilty.

It was evident that they often did such things.

As soon as they arrived at the Quiet Heart Garden, the guards there saluted the Right Protector, ”Greetings, Your Majesty!”
