Chapter 691 Impersonate 3 ” (2/2)
That was enough for the already suspicious girl to reaffirm there’s something really wrong here. Huan Yin and Bai Yan may not be actual friends, but that doesn’t mean she’s blind. During the ride on the Dragon Boat, the girl could see how important that silvery fox was to the veiled female.
“You know, the silvery fox you were keeping by your arm’s length at all times during the incident?”
Silvery fox?
Getting anxious as well now knowing she’s screwed up, the fake hurries to make up a lie using a soft tone: “My poor fox was eaten by the dragons that day….”
“So that’s why,” not going to start prying, Huan Yin knew she’s overstepped her boundries after seeing the fake sorrow in the other side’s face. Taking a step back, “Miss Ho, I came today in order to thank you for saving me. In addition, I’m also here to formally invite you to my home for a visit after your injuries are healed. My father would like to personally thank you for the deed. It’s getting late and I should stop disturbing your rest.”
“Aehhh!” The first instinct Ho Cui Cui had there after hearing this was to reach out to stop this. Unfortunately for this deceiving wench, Huan Yin’s legs were much faster than those fingers.
Sighing over the departing figure: “That Huan Yin is too kind to me, she’s obviously only leaving so fast in order to let me rest. No matter, I will grace her with my presence once I’m in good health.”
Quit worrying you fool. The impersonation worked, otherwise she wouldn’t have invited yourself to her home just now. She kept murmuring this to herself as if its some kind of spell.

Back outside the Mu Manor’s doorway, Huan Yin was just about to board her carriage when the maid she brought along spoke up: “Miss, weren’t you really excited to meet Miss Ho? Why did you, back there…?”
Halting in her step over that question, she turns and stared meaningfully into the general direction of the inside: “This person, something’s not quite right about her.”
“What?” the maid exclaims.
“I don’t know why but I just feel there’s something very wrong about her. Though my interaction with the woman that day is short and brief, but the air and temperament this Ho Cui Cui gave me is completely different.” Biting her lip, Huan Yin knew she couldn’t let this slide: “We’re going back first, I need to let my father know about this so he can investigate the matter further!”
