Chapter 732 - ncounter Baique on the Way (2/2)
After making sure that the woman was just an ordinary pregnant woman, who felt a little uncomfortable after suffering a great shock, she believe what the woman said.
“Where is your husband’s family? Who kidnapped you? Did you see them?” She asked.
Watching the gentle and amiable Miss in front of her, the pregnant woman involuntarily let down her guard and said, “In fact, my husband’s family has moved out of Niuxin Town a few months ago. I stayed in the town with my mother-in-law as I just got pregnant with an unsteady condition at that time. Three months ago, that group of people broke into my home at night. My mother-in-law… was beaten to death by them, while I was abducted. I don’t know those people. Miss, please do me a favor and take me to the county.”
After saying that, the young woman started sobbing.
Learning her story, Lin Mengya could not help feeling sorry for her.
After she talked it over with Qinghu, the two of them decided to take the young woman with them perhaps at the thought that with the young woman’s testimony, the government was more likely to deal with those people in the temple for the Mountain Deity.
After inviting the young woman into her carriage, Lin Mengya took out her clothes and gave them to the young woman so that the young woman could change her clothes.
With the pregnant woman in the carriage, the caravan slowed down.
In the relatively confined carriage, the young woman, who was dressed in clean clothes now, smiled at Lin Mengya gratefully before sitting down cautiously opposite Lin Mengya with her hands on her belly.
Lin Mengya, who was closing her eyes and resting her mind, did not seem to have noticed the curious gaze from the young woman.
When Lin Mengya opened her eyes occasionally, she just made eye contact with the young woman for a second and nodded at her.
They didn’t talk too much.
Seeing Lin Mengya was easy in her manners, the young woman became bolder.
She looked curiously at the girl in front of her up and down with less shyness and fear in her eyes.
Lin Mengya suddenly opened her eyes and met the young woman’s clear eyes.
The latter immediately panicked and tried hard to cover up her real identity.
However, Lin Mengya said softly with a gentle smile, “Back in the inn, I wondered why I smelled the scent of osmanthus hair oil out of an old man in his sixties. Now I realize you disguised yourself as the old man, didn’t you?”
The young woman suddenly screamed and subconsciously sniffed her clothes, but she didn’t smell the scent of osmanthus hair oil at all.
Seeing Lin Mengya’s mocking look, she gritted her teeth remorsefully.
“No wonder our chief described you as a cunning and extremely intelligent lady, First Miss of the Lin Family. I had to disguise myself, because if I try to approach you rashly, you will definitely see through my identity. Please forgive me generously, Miss Lin.” The young woman apologized to Lin Mengya naturally with hands folded and raised in front of her face.
Lin Mengya just nodded and let it go.
Staring at the young woman in front of her, Lin Mengya thought that she had felt the young woman’s pulse and found the young woman was pregnant indeed.
But she was not sure whether the chief the young woman mentioned was an enemy or a friend, so she considered the chief as a threat.
“Don’t worry, Miss Lin, I mean no harm. I’m pregnant indeed, and I was almost deprived of my baby. But I did all this at our chief’s behest, as the members of the Blood Hall have been collecting fetuses under orders not only in Niuxin Town but also in other places. They, who are extremely cruel, used a secret method to remove the fetus along with the pregnant woman’s womb. I thought I was proficient enough in martial arts to handle it with ease. Unexpectedly, I almost fell into their trap last night. If you hadn’t attracted their attention, I’m afraid I would have been killed now.” The young woman told the whole story.
However, hearing her words, Lin Mengya showed a serious look.
What did the Blood Hall want to do with the fetuses in the wombs?
“No matter who your chief is, since you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t risk your life. I’ll take you to a safe place. After that, you’d better take care of yourself,” Lin Mengya said indifferently.
No matter how important the young woman’s task was, it could not compare with her baby.
The young woman smiled magnanimously and stroked her belly with her hands.
She said, “No eggs can remain unbroken when the nest is totally ruined. Miss Lin, Baique will keep your words in mind. But I’m wondering how you saw through my disguise.”
It turned out that her name was Baique.
Watching Baique smiling, Lin Mengya cooled down.
After all, this was Baique’s business, that had nothing to do with her.
Lin Mengya turned around to enjoy the scenery outside the window, while saying, “You did a good job in disguise. But when you stood up from the chair, you didn’t look like an old man in his sixties. You acted like an old man at other times, but just acted like a woman when standing up from the chair. When you got in the carriage just now, you acted the way you did that day, which aroused my suspicion.”
In fact, people used different muscles when subconsciously performing a certain movement.
As a physician, Lin Mengya certainly could tell which muscles were used, but common people could not.
