My First Husband After Transmigration

Chapter 6

He Bi snorted coldly: "You fell down on your own."

“Uh, yes,” Yang Nianqing nodded, still puzzled, “What does this have to do with whether I’m an accomplice or not?”

He Bi did not answer.

“Of course it’s related,” Li You shook his head and said leisurely, “He just wanted to say that there was no fifth person besides the four of us at the time, so you fell down on your own, and you were definitely not thrown down by someone.”

How did you know?

After asking the question, she realized it was a pointless question, so no one answered—their skills were such that even the most skilled murderer needed a cat to escape safely, so how could they not notice if someone was above them?

Li You looked at her with amusement: "Besides..."

"Besides what?"

"Besides," Li You coughed, turning to He Bi and Nangong Xue, "if you two were looking for someone to act as a spy, wouldn't you choose her?"

Nangong Xue could only smile wryly. Since he was the most virtuous person, he naturally wouldn't answer this difficult question.

But He Bi said, "No."

Yang Nianqing asked curiously, "Why?"

“Since he acts so meticulously, he naturally wouldn’t take such a risk,” He Bi looked at her. “You’re too stupid, and you’re a woman.”

"What!" She finally realized what was happening and jumped up. "What's wrong with women? You think you're so smart?!"

He Bi remained silent.

An amused expression gradually appeared on Li You's handsome face.

"Damn it, I thought he was so sure because he trusted me, but he actually went too far!" Yang Nianqing gritted her teeth and glared angrily at the two of them.

Li You, however, had already turned around and walked to the window, standing with his hands behind his back.

“‘Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the Southern Mountains.’ On this clear autumn day, with chrysanthemums blooming everywhere, Mr. Chrysanthemum must have returned to his leisurely abode.”

Day 1, write and post a lot :)

Volume One: Why Look for Excuses? Cicada-Mantis-Owl

Why split into two groups?

There was no response.

A gentle morning breeze caressed the path, and the warm sunlight hung down like a thin veil. A few golden leaves brushed past, and everything was absolutely beautiful.

However, Yang Nianqing was very unhappy and followed Li You slowly, muttering to herself as she walked.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up this morning, I found that He Bi and Nangong Xue had already left with Zhang Mingchu's body, leaving me alone with this playboy, this lecher.

"Hey, can't you hear me?!" she finally shouted, grabbing a handful of leaves as she did so. Luckily, there was no need to worry about damaging the environment and getting fined here.

Li You stopped and smiled wryly, "My ears are almost deaf, how could I not hear?"

Why don't we go with them?

"Because we need to find Mr. Chrysanthemum."

"Does this have anything to do with finding someone?" She rolled her eyes, then asked curiously, "Who exactly is Mr. Chrysanthemum? Is he an autopsy specialist? A forensic doctor? Or..."

Li You interrupted her: "He's not human."

Not human?! Yang Nianqing was startled. Although it was broad daylight, she couldn't help but shudder when she thought about what happened last night. This world was really too strange!

Li You seemed to have anticipated her fear, and immediately coughed again, a look of amusement on his face: "Although he is not human, he is a god, the number one divine physician."

I see!

Hearing such a suspenseful introduction, Yang Nianqing was thankful that she had a good heart and no high blood pressure, otherwise she would have been rushed to the emergency room long ago. She was extremely frustrated: "I never expected to run into such a miraculous doctor, detective, idle person, and kind person here. Am I incredibly lucky?"

He actually nodded: "You're really lucky to have met four of them at the same time."

Yang Nianqing opened her mouth, then suddenly realized: "You want to ask him to determine whether the body was poisoned?"

“He was definitely poisoned,” Li You shook his head and sighed. “We just wanted to know…”

"I want to know what kind of poison he was poisoned with!" Yang Nianqing suddenly turned around, her eyes shining. "Judging from what Young Master Nangong said yesterday, that poison seems to be quite unusual, doesn't it?"

“Smart.” He continued walking forward, his steps leisurely.

"So-so!"

Being praised by a handsome guy is naturally a happy thing, so Yang Nianqing quickened her pace to catch up with him. However, she immediately realized that the person praising her was a playboy.

"But why should we split into two groups?" A sense of unease crept in.

Upon hearing this, Li You seemed somewhat disappointed: "Still don't understand?"

She shook her head.

He sighed: "If you were the murderer, would you let us find clues about the poison?"

"No way!" Yang Nianqing interrupted him excitedly, "He might try to destroy the evidence, maybe even cover up the body, so we need to split into two groups and secretly monitor him, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

“Wrong,” Li You stopped again, “we just saved ourselves some trouble.”

"trouble?"

"Do you think he wouldn't know we're following behind?"

She immediately shook her head: "Impossible, he must know."

"Knowing we're following us, if you were him, would you have acted so easily?"

“No, he’s so smart, he definitely wouldn’t take that risk,” Yang Nianqing said, extremely frustrated. “Then what’s the point of us following behind?”

"Wrong again, but it's very useful."

"it works?"

"It seems that Miss Yang has forgotten the true purpose of our trip."

Fortunately, Yang Nianqing wasn't stupid and immediately understood: "We need to safely deliver the body to Mr. Chrysanthemum! He wants to destroy the evidence while also trying to avoid being discovered by us. Doing this will distract him, which is much safer than having everyone guard the body."

"clever!"

"Thank you!" she waved her hand, then added worriedly, "But what if he's not alone, what if he has helpers?"

“This will confirm whether he is alone,” Li You thought for a moment and shook his head. “He is so cautious that he always prefers as few people as possible to know about him. The more people there are, the more trouble there will be.”

"Smart!" This time, Yang Nianqing was full of admiration, patting him on the shoulder in praise.

Li You glanced at the hand on his shoulder, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

She asked, puzzled, "What?"

"Don't you realize that in this situation, it's not them who are in danger, but us?" A hint of amusement flickered in his long, narrow eyes as he casually said, "Perhaps he'll strike at us first."

Her smile froze instantly.

Yang Nianqing wasn't exactly "number one." If things really came to blows, she'd probably just get stabbed. While it's true that you can't avoid getting stabbed in the martial arts world, it still takes courage to get stabbed, especially since this matter had nothing to do with her...

"Can I go back?"

“Okay,” Li You continued walking forward, “Old He originally instructed that you be kept under surveillance and not allowed to leave Nangong Villa, so the murderer probably won’t go back there for the time being…”

"Forget it," Yang Nianqing immediately waved her hand, "I'm not that afraid of dying. Besides, aren't you the best at light footwork and hidden weapons? Remember to help me run fast when the time comes..."

After saying that, she looked around and couldn't help but move a little closer to him.

Li You suppressed a laugh and sighed, "There's a problem; I'm afraid we have no choice but to run faster."

"Trouble?" She immediately moved away from him, glaring at him angrily. "Do you think I want to be with you?"

“No,” he said casually, “but you would never want to be with Lao He either.”

He Bi's cold and gloomy face immediately popped into Yang Nianqing's mind. She trembled and glared at him, saying, "Of course not, but what about Nangong Xue? Why does she have to come with you?"

Upon hearing this, Li You looked at her strangely.

Yang Nianqing snapped, "What are you looking at!"

Li You laughed: "You want to go with him?"

“Yes,” she rolled her eyes, “being with him is better than being with you!”

“But he doesn’t want to be with you,” she said, her tone seemingly full of regret. “Everyone knows that the First Young Master, Nangong Xue, never deals with women alone.”

Yang Nianqing was immediately speechless.

After a while.

She suppressed her anger, snorted coldly, and said resentfully, "So he doesn't like women, huh? I bet he likes men, maybe he's gay!"

“That makes sense,” Li You said, seemingly finding it amusing. “I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe he really does like men. I should remember to ask him about it next time.”

Yang Nianqing stopped talking and walked away with her head down.

"Aren't you grateful to me now?"

"I'm a woman, and I actually agreed to walk with a pervert," she said through gritted teeth, trying to calm herself down. "Don't you think you should be grateful to me?"

Upon hearing this, Li You seemed somewhat surprised and shook his head: "Perverts are only interested in pretty women."

……

dusk.

He Bi and Nangong Xue were transporting Zhang Mingchu's body by water. Li You and Yang Nianqing, on the other hand, were traveling by carriage. Ancient carriages were far from comfortable, and the jolting left Yang Nianqing aching all over, but she couldn't complain, lest she seem too pampered... She frowned and leaned against the carriage window, gazing longingly at the boats on the river for a long time. When she turned around, she found that Li You had already fallen asleep.

Handsome men must have even more charming sleeping postures.

Beneath her flowing eyebrows, her usually cheerful and bright eyes were now casually closed, and a faint smile played on her slightly upturned lips.

Although Yang Nianqing wasn't sitting close, she could still clearly see those long, eye-catching eyelashes trembling rhythmically with the swaying of the carriage. Did they even manufacture false eyelashes in this era? She almost suspected that those beautiful eyelashes were grafted on.

Look at him, he seems to be fast asleep.

Finally, unable to resist her curiosity, Yang Nianqing brought her face close to his, almost touching his nose, held her breath, and carefully observed those two rows of adorable eyelashes.

It's true, how can such beautiful eyelashes grow on a man's face! She secretly touched them with her hand, then touched her own eyelashes, sighed in self-consciousness, and sat back down.

"A man with such long eyelashes? That's outrageous!"

She muttered to herself in frustration, then rubbed her lower back in annoyance: "Qiang, how can he fall asleep like this..."
