Chapter 12

Cut, cut hard.

After a night's sleep, Qin Yu's depression eased slightly.

He didn't sleep very soundly that night.

The inexplicable lower abdominal pain wasn't too severe, but whenever it occurred, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

It's like having lice crawling on your feet—it's not life-threatening, but it's absolutely disgusting!

The only consolation is that his yang energy is still very strong.

After urinating, Qin Yu made up his mind.

I'll have to see a doctor again later.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Yu was just about to leave when someone came to report that Lu Yong and Lü Si were waiting outside the door.

"Wow, you got here pretty fast!"

Thinking about what he needed to do next, Qin Yu suddenly felt like he had been fully recharged and immediately strode outside.

At this moment, the two stood outside the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion with their heads hanging low, and suddenly felt a sense of shared misfortune.

The one who felt most guilty was Lü Si.

He had no idea how Qin Yu would treat Lu Yong.

But he knew that Qin Yu would definitely try every means to torment him.

Before he came, his father repeatedly told him that when you're under someone's roof, you should bow your head.

Qin Yu is practically dead now, and the crucial thing is that his manhood is also ruined, so he doesn't even have the chance to hurry up and leave an heir for the Qin family.

That bastard is definitely a mad dog who bites anyone he can get his hands on now!

He wanted to beg Qin Yu to let him off the hook, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Just as Lü Si was feeling uneasy, Qin Yu had already arrived at the door.

Although Qin Yu hadn't said a word yet, he could already sense a strong sense of malice emanating from him.

"Have you all eaten?"

To their surprise, Qin Yu didn't punish them; instead, he inquired about their situation with concern.

The two were somewhat flattered and paused for a moment before nodding slightly.

"It's good that you ate it!"

Qin Yu smiled with satisfaction and immediately ordered the servants in his mansion, "Go, have someone bring out the sedan chair!"

Soon, servants brought out a sedan chair carried by two men.

This is a lightweight sedan chair, essentially a small recliner with two supports added.

However, in this day and age, it's like a convertible version of the Wuling Mini!

Qin Yu waved his hand, dismissing the servants.

Seeing Qin Yu's actions, the two couldn't help but frown secretly.

What is this bastard trying to do?

"Now that you've already eaten, don't just stand there!"

Qin Yuchong and his companion pointed to the small sedan chair, saying, "I have some errands to run, so let's hurry!"

As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, the expressions on their faces changed instantly.

They're making them carry the sedan chair!

Luo Qingyi's lips curled up, and she looked at Qin Yu with a playful expression.

Why should these two pampered young masters carry the sedan chair?

He certainly knows how to torture people in all sorts of ways!

"Qin Yu, don't go too far!"

Lu Si suddenly raised his voice: "We're here on orders to be your assistants, not to carry your sedan chair!"

Carrying a sedan chair?

He, Lü Si, was at least the son of the Minister of Justice and the Empress Dowager's nephew!

Everyone in the capital knows that he and Qin Yu don't get along!

If people see him carrying Qin Yu's sedan chair, how will he ever be able to face anyone again?

"that is!"

Lu Yong immediately echoed, "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! I, Lu Yong, am also a man of merit; I would never carry your sedan chair!"

"Is that so?"

Qin Yu smiled at the two of them, then slowly took out the imperial gold medal from his robes and shoved it in their faces. "Why don't you talk to it?"

Upon seeing the gold medal in Qin Yu's hand, the two men's expressions immediately changed.

It's as if I were there in person!

Imperial Gold Medal!

Luo Qingyi was also startled by the sudden appearance of the gold medal, and her mouth dropped open in surprise.

He actually has this in his hand?

Could he really help the Empress Dowager organize this birthday banquet well?

Suddenly, Luo Qingyi was filled with curiosity about Qin Yu.

She desperately wanted to know how Qin Yu could save his life.

"Where...where did you get a gold medal?"

Lu Si asked, dumbfounded.

Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile. "I was ordered to organize the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and His Majesty bestowed upon me a gold medal to make things easier for me. Isn't that reasonable?"

This……

The two men turned pale.

What should we do now?

The two were completely flustered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Yong and Lü Si remained silent, Qin Yu said nonchalantly, "It's alright, you can ignore the gold medal. Anyway, I'll need a few companions on my journey to the underworld! We'll hold hands and walk together on the road to the underworld, and be good friends again in the next life!"

Go to hell!

Who the hell wants to be your best friend in the next life!

The two cursed inwardly.

Qin Yu was a dying man, but they weren't!

At this moment, both Lu Yong and Lü Si understood.

It must have been Qin Yu who made the request to the Empress, asking them to be his deputies!

Their purpose was to retaliate against and humiliate them!

Lu Yong's face turned pale and then red. After a long while, he forced a smile. "Thirteenth Young Master, it was Lü Si who made you take down the imperial edict. It has nothing to do with me! I haven't offended you. You can take revenge on Lü Si, why are you torturing me?"

He was telling the truth.

He was a scholar and disdained associating with a playboy like Qin Yu. Although they knew each other, they didn't really have much interaction.

However, upon hearing Lu Yong's words, Lü Si's face turned green.

That bastard!

They agreed to fight Qin Yu together!

In the blink of an eye, he sold himself out completely!

"Isn't it said that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated?"

Lu Si glared at Lu Yong, "You call yourself a scholar? You succumb to tyranny so easily?"

Where is your integrity? Where is your moral character?

"And what do you mean by 'it has nothing to do with you'?"

"It was clearly your father who suggested this to His Majesty, instructing him to use Qin Yu as a scapegoat so that if the birthday banquet went poorly, all the blame could be pinned on Qin Yu!"

"You fucking dare say it has nothing to do with you?"

Oh shit!

Scholars are indeed the most unreliable people!

If I'm not having a good time, you shouldn't expect to either.

Hearing Lü Si's words, Lu Yong almost rushed up and shut the bastard up.

He's really bringing up a sore spot!

"Alright! Big brother, stop blaming second brother, you two are both fair!"

Qin Yu raised his hand to stop the two, "I'll give you half an incense stick's time to consider whether you want to be carried in the sedan chair or go to the Yellow Springs with me!"

The two men's expressions changed, and they immediately stopped.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yong straightened his neck and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll lift it!"

"That's right!"

Qin Yu smiled with satisfaction, then glanced at Lü Si, "Young Master Lü, what about you?"

Lu Si opened his mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment, glared at Qin Yu with resentment, quickly walked to the corner, grabbed a handful of mud and smeared it on his face.

You absolutely mustn't let anyone recognize you!

He was the Empress Dowager's nephew!

I can't bear the shame!

Lu Yong realized what was happening and quickly ran over to do the same.

When the two looked up again, they were practically unrecognizable, even to their own mothers.

Seeing the two of them looking so dignified, Luo Qingyi almost burst out laughing.

How clever!

Qin Yu chuckled inwardly and got into the sedan chair.

Suppressing their grief and indignation, the two buried their heads and, with tremendous effort, finally managed to lift Qin Yu up.

"Baihua Pavilion, let's go!"

Qin Yu swaggered as he accepted the folding fan from Luo Qingyi. "You two better take it easy! I'm quite frail. If you two make me fall, I won't be able to get up! Then, you'll be the only ones in charge of organizing the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet!"

Hearing Qin Yu's words, the two almost stumbled and fell.

Oh shit!

You absolutely mustn't drop it!

Organizing a birthday banquet for the Empress Dowager that was impossible to hold was tantamount to sticking one's head into a guillotine!

Qin Yu said no more, closed his eyes, and leisurely hummed: "In spring, the flowers are fragrant, the waves are surging..."

The two were already furious, and when they heard Qin Yu humming a little tune, they wished they could stab Qin Yu to death.

His name isn't Qin Yu!

Call them beasts!
