His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 166: Lin Zhou - Han Xiang 5

General Hu's subordinate sighed. He had heard the rumor about how wrongly treated the princess was and it evoked the pity from them.

However, after came in contact with her for the past few days, he could still see the selfish and pampered personalities of the princess.

"Gu Niang... Hu Gong Zi is fine... you don't need to worry about him... He needs rest for now, please don't bother him!" Although the subordinate said it in a strict voice, there was a hint of politeness in it.

He still understood about hierarchy.

Although the princess wasn't allowed to divulge her identity, she was still the princess.

Han Xiang felt irritated with the way this lowly subordinate treated her but she could do nothing about it.

"Then... why can't I meet him?" Han Xiang asked once again.

She needed to talk to General Hu but she was hindered by this woman's order.

Her gaze landed on Yao Ling.

Yao Ling turned around and asked the subordinate, "Er... I suppose that she's Hu Gong Zi's lover... I bet that she misses him so much that she doesn't even care about Hu Gong Zi's condition." She looked sympathetic toward Han Xiang but her words...

It made Han Xiang almost vomit blood. She could hear the sarcasm...

The subordinate awkwardly stood there, not knowing how to answer Yao Ling.

If he said she wasn't Hu Gong Zi's lover, he didn't know how to explain who this woman was.

If he said she was Hu Gong Zi's lover, the princess would certainly want his head on a silver platter.

He could only dart his eyes around, not looking at Yao Ling and pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Han Xiang said, "I already told you I'm not his lover. Why are you keep insisting that I am his lover? I also care about his condition. Don't speak nonsense!" Han Xiang needed to clear up the misunderstanding.

Yao Ling pretended to be confused and tilted her head to the side, "Eh? You are not his lover but care about her condition. What are you? Hu Gong Zi's mistress?"

How could Han Xiang not vomit blood after listening to what Yao Ling said? How come she suddenly become a mistress?

Even General Hu's subordinate and Xiao Fang were dumbfounded because of Yao Ling's poisonous tongue.

Xiao Fang really wanted to laugh but she couldn't show it on her face and it almost made her have an internal injury.

"I... I... I am not!" She denied vehemently.

Han Xiang pointed at Yao Ling in annoyance but her words were stuck in her throat.

She didn't dare to expose her own identity because she knew that she was targetted by others and she also didn't want General Hu to feel annoyance toward her.

She could only swallow her grievance...

"Ah... okay. Suits yourself!" Yao Ling smiled.

In other words, it was up to her to say whatever she wanted about her relationship with General Hu.

However, Yao Ling would still stand by with her own view regarding their relationship.

She's just a mere mistress.

Han Xiang could only stomp her feet in anger and go away in a huff.

She was too angry at the woman and she didn't want to stay there any longer and risk to be humiliated once again.
