His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Feng Yong Rui and Qi Hao sighed. They looked helplessly at Xiao Fang.

There were others in the room and they didn’t want to talk about Xiao Fang’s past in front of strangers. It was the private matter of their own family, besides, they weren’t sure whether Xiao Fang wanted the others to know or not.

Xiao Fang seemed to notice their change of expressions and by then, she knew that both of them knew her real identity. Their uneasiness made her feel uneasy even more --- would they change their attitudes towards her once she knew that she was adopted?

She sighed and said in a low voice, "Father, Brother... if you have something to say or a question to ask, you can just say or ask in front of them." She paused for a little while before added, "They know everything --- from the beginning to the end. I stumbled upon the truth when they were around." Those sentences already explained everything.

Xiao Fang could see their hesitancy and that was the reason why she directly told them that her friends knew her secrets. They came to help her and it wouldn’t be wise to keep them in the dark...

Feng Yong Rui asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you know about your real identity?" He felt sad because he knew that if she knew about it, there would be a day she would leave this family. Feng Yong Rui really thought of her as his real daughter --- he never falsified his feelings. If he loved someone, he would love her to death and it was also the other way around.

Xiao Fang nodded. "Father, I know... I wanted to ask you when I arrived back then, but I couldn’t find the right time." To be exact, she was scared, but she covered up her feelings really well this time.

"How?" Feng Yong Rui asked. He thought that they had been doing a good job in covering it up all this time.

Thus, she explained everything from the beginning to the end --- everything that had happened at Lin Zhou and also Han Xiang’s words.

Feng Yong Rui understood some of the things that happened from his own investigation, but not the full story. Thus, he misunderstood something. In fact, the resentment that he felt on Xiao Fang’s behalf was directed at the Ce Fei who ran away by herself. After all, that was the only version that the outsider knew. Thus, no one could blame Feng Yong Rui’s behavior.

He felt guilty when he remembered the disdain that he felt whenever someone brought out Ce Fei’s name --- in fact, she was the one who was the most pitiful.

However, after knowing the full version, he was really astonished. Feng Yong Rui thought that this was the day that he was feeling surprised the most in all of his life! So many revelations happened in one day and it took some times for him to comprehend everything. His head became dizzy and the same thing happened to Qi Hao.

They would never guess that there was such a horrifying reason behind the Ce Fei’s running away matter and all of this time, they were pitying the Emperor and standing on that lecherous person’s side! They almost vomited due to the disgust that they felt towards the treacherous couple!

Their face became paler in a flash.

Xiao Fang gave them some times to process everything before she finally said in a low voice, "Father, Brother... no matter what, all of you will always be my family." She didn’t want to lose both of them because they were very important to her.

Those words were enough for the father and son pair --- as long as Xiao Fang still thought of them as her family, they were very happy. Besides, they realize that from the beginning until now, Xiao Fang’s attitudes towards them had never changed, even though she already knew that she was adopted. It made them sigh in relief.

Xiao Fang didn’t get their affirmation and she became nervous. "Father... Brother...? How... How about you?" She asked in a meek voice. Xiao Fang hoped that they would think the same as her.

Feng Yong Rui smiled and answered lovingly, "Don’t worry! You will always be my daughter!" He didn’t forget to pat her head just like usual.

Qi Hao answered with the same thing while smiling at her warmly, "Yes, ah~! You always be my beloved little sister."

Yao Ling felt happy for Xiao Fang because she had found such a kind family despite her messed up real family. However, she didn’t envy her because she felt that she was also lucky. She met such a loving mother, Jiu Lan. Not only that... If Jiu Lan didn’t save her, she wouldn’t have met Yao Ying and her new family at Wang Fu.

When they were still talking, there was a knock on the study room’s door --- the room turned quiet once more.

"Who is it?" Feng Yong Rui asked in a loud voice. He became vigilance because of the recent spy incident.

"Master, this one is Ah Man," the person who knocked on the door answered.

Feng Yong Rui quickly ordered the person to come in, after all, Ah Man was one of his most trusted subordinates. His job was mainly to become his spy, so he spent his time outside of the manor.

Ah Man went in and he was quite surprised because there were a lot of people inside the room and most of them were people that he didn’t recognize. However, he didn’t dwell on it because there was a more important matter to report.

Feng Yong Rui asked him, "Do you find out anything?"

Ah Man answered with a nod, "Yes, Master. Something is wrong inside the palace."

Whan Yao Ling heard this, her ears perked up and she quickly sat up straighter. "Is it about my father?" She asked Feng Yong Rui in a low voice.

Feng Yong Rui nodded and answered, "Yes, it is." Then, he turned to Ah Man, "Tell us! They are our own people," Feng Yong Rui commanded when he saw Ah Man’s hesitancy.

Ah Man cupped both of his hands and said, "Yes, Master."

He explained that somehow he lost contact with all of their spies inside the palace --- this was the first time this kind of thing happened ah~! Even if the Emperor’s people found their spies, it would usually be one or two persons. It was impossible to find all of them!

"You have been tried to reach them for a few shichen and still... there is no news?" Feng Yong Rui furrowed his eyebrows. This matter was rather tricky. He had just killed the Han Emperor’s spy and the latter must be wary of him --- there would be no way for him to go inside the palace at the moment.

"Yes, Master!" Ah Man answered because he was confused as well. "Do you have any instruction, Master?" He had been trying all the methods that he could think of, but all were failed.

"Does Qiu Da Ren still in the palace?" Feng Yong Rui asked carefully.

"I believe so, Master. Our people who are near there hasn’t seen Qiu Da Ren’s shadow," Ah Man explained.

Feng Yong Rui massaged his forehead because he needed to come up with something. Yao Ling looked at Yao Ying and bit her lower lip while her eyes started to tear up. Yao Ying patted her back and whispered, "Calm down! We will be able to get through this together. Your father is a clever person... You have to trust him too!"

Yao Ling nodded her head and wiped the corner of her eyes --- she needed to be strong at this moment.

Qi Hao asked, "Father, do you have a solution?"
