His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Even though the man was a merchant, no one dared to look down at them. Their backer was the empress --- the matriarch’s sister. Not only that but they had also gotten certain titles from the Emperor which made them quite noble as well. That was the reason why it was easier for them to make money and enjoy the best treatment from other people. It was all thanks to his aunt ah~!

In a way, it was a quite good ending for his mother. Too bad though... that man was angry at the rejection. After all, his mother rejected him for someone who was far inferior to him and it was like an insult to him. The man didn’t seem to know the concept of love and he only thought of his mother as a possession --- Wang Luo Hai was sure of that.

"What about the man, Father? You haven’t told me anything about it..." Yao Ling asked curiously. She had a bold guess about this infertile drug. Was this man the mastermind behind it all?! She was a hundred percent sure of it!

"The man is petty and cruel, to begin with. However, he is a patient person when he has a grudge... That is the most dangerous thing. He attacked when people had relaxed their vigilance --- including your grandmother and me..." Wang Luo Hai trailed off while shaking his head in despair. It was a matter of the past but who knew... the man was quite vicious in handling things. However, there was nothing that they could do.

Not only that but the man was too powerful for them to retaliate back and that was the reason why he didn’t want to tell the matriarch. The guilty feeling would really kill her ah~!

"Don’t tell me... he’s the one who did it?!" Yao Ling gasped in surprise despite already guessing it. After all, she was doubtful that a person would be able to hold a grudge for that long. It was simply a baffling thing!

Wang Luo Hai nodded his head. "Yes..." He sighed in sadness.

Then, Yao Ling realized something. "Then... he must be a part of Mi Hui --- after all, he was the twin princes’ backer, right? And also the poison inside Madam Wang’s body... it’s similar to Mi Hui’s poison... It seems like they were made by the same person..." She asked to know whether her deduction was correct or not.

Wang Luo Hai looked at her with a complicated expression. "So, you noticed it as well?" Wang Luo Hai was quite amazed by her skills. After all, it took a long time for his private doctor to find out about that matter, but Yao Ling was able to feel it with just a touch. It seemed like he really couldn’t underestimate Yao Ling.

He should have known ah~! Jiu Lan was quite good at medicine so Yao Ling must have inherited most of her medical skills.

"So... does he have something to do with Mi Hui?" Yao Ling pushed for an answer.

"In a way... yes..." Wang Luo Hai answered.

"Hmm... what do you mean?" Yao Ling asked in confusion. In a way? Didn’t it mean the answer was between yes or no?!

"He used to be a member of Mi Hui, however, he had changed side for quite some time..." Wang Luo Hai answered.

"Was he a core member?"

"Yes... He was actually one of the founders because he was the Empress’ first backer..." Wang Luo Hai explained.

"Then... what about Mi Hui’s secret?! Didn’t it mean that he could tell his new comrades everything about Mi Hui?" Yao Ling gasped in surprise. She didn’t think that the consequences of not choosing that man were actually so serious! He was really too petty ah~!

"Well... That was the darkest time for Mi Hui and almost ruined the whole organization. His betrayal was quite sudden so a lot of people that were on our side had been killed cruelly by his people because our people couldn’t take any precaution and defenseless. We were all taken by surprise. How could we know that a core member would betray them without batting eyelashes?

At that time, we lost a lot of people which made the Empress quite angry! Fortunately, the Empress had paid attention to his movement ever since your grandmother told her the truth about the man’s crazy tendency, however, that man was really too sly. He made such a big move but it was too late for us to realize it!" Wang Luo Hai couldn’t help but admire that man in this matter.

That man was a good ally but the worst enemy that they could have. He supported another prince ever since then, and honestly, it was quite hard to deal with him --- especially because that man knew everything about Mi Hui. Fortunately, they were able to survive because Mi Hui also had smart people ah~!

"Who was he working with?" Yao Ling asked curiously.

"Hmm... Another prince..." Wang Luo Hai answered. "Why?"

"Somehow, I felt that he had another backer..." Yao Ling pondered over this matter. If he didn’t have a hidden card, he wouldn’t make such a big move and it seemed like he didn’t afraid of anything. Why was he so sure that he would win?!

"Good guess!" Wang Luo Hai said. "It seems like, he was working with someone from another kingdom! The conspiracy was pretty big..." He admitted.

"Have you found out about that person’s identity?" Yao Ling asked.

"Not yet... It seems like his backer is also quite powerful. He erased his track perfectly!" Wang Luo Hai answered. Even Mi Hui’s information and spy network couldn’t find out about that man!

Yao Ling could only hold back her curiosity... Maybe ’A Thousand Words’ would be able to find out about it. However, as long as she didn’t need it urgently, she didn’t want to use the favor from Hei Yue. She decided to change the conversation’s direction by asking, "Did grandaunt blame grandmother for her loss?"

"Fortunately, no... your grandmother didn’t even know about that matter. I mean, she didn’t know that there was a connection between that man’s betrayal and her --- otherwise, she would certainly blame herself. Besides, the Empress was the one who let your grandmother get married to your deceased grandfather so she had a part in this matter. How could she blame your grandmother? Until this moment, we are still trying to protect your grandmother from this..." Wang Luo Hai sighed.

"Did the betrayal happen around the time Madam Wang gave you the infertile drugs?" Yao Ling asked curiously. If yes, that would make sense. She felt that type of crazy man could do anything to satisfy his unfulfilled desire.

"No, at that time, I was still too young ah~! I hadn’t even got married yet!" Wang Luo Hai explained. "Even your grandfather was still around..." That happened a long time ago...

"Huh? After all that and yet, he didn’t feel satisfied with the revenge?! He had killed a lot of people ah~!" Yao Ling was baffled by the man’s craziness.

"That seemed to be weird, but it was really the truth!" Wang Luo Hai said in hatred.

"Is that man crazy?!" Yao Ling gasped loudly.
