His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 229: How Do You Know It Was Me?

The glowing weird symbols almost formed two words... if Yao Ying wasn't mistaken.

However, before it could finish forming, Xiu gave them another signal with a chirping sound. There was no time left!

They couldn't stay there any longer.

Yao Ying didn't want to hurt Yao Ling, but there was nothing else he could do.

He hit the back of Yao Ling's neck to help her get out of the trance and... make her unconscious.

Yao Ying felt regretful that they couldn't see the words formed.

Two words, huh? It was fortunate that he paid attention to the details.

Later, he would try to recreate what happened just now and guessed what kind of words would appear.

When Yao Ling lost her consciousness, the bright glow suddenly diminished and everything went back to normal.

The surroundings became quiet and the darkness came back just like usual --- only accompanied by the dimmed light of two lanterns.

Yao Ying knew that this symbol and whatever things that were kept inside that palace, they were connected to Yao Ling in a certain way.

He furrowed his eyebrows, contemplating whether this was a good or bad thing for his wife.

He could only feel certain when Yao Ling had woken up later...

His head got a headache when he knew that he had to confess that he was the one who hit her just now.

Yao Ying felt afraid of her reaction, but oh well... it was better than being captured by the enemies.

After she fainted, Yao Ying quickly princess-carried her and ran all the way back to their own room.

Xiu gave him a report... not too long after they vanished, the hidden guards came.

They seemed to be attracted by the sudden glow of the gate's symbols.

"Did they find out anything abnormal?" Yao Ying asked.

He was concerned about the fact that they found out about the glow.

The glow was quite bright, but he hoped they wouldn't find out about it.

Xiu sighed. He told Yao Ying that he wasn't sure about it himself, he wanted to inquire about that matter, but they seemed to realize his presence and he could only run away --- before they found out about his identity.

They heard the commotion on the outside and Yao Ying understood what it was all about.

All of them already changed back to their usual clothing, thus, they weren't in a hurry.

He gave an eye signal to Xiu and let him go back.

After that, he looked at Yao Ling and the latter still fainted.

Yao Ying felt a bit worried because it took quite a long time for her to wake up.

He went outside and saw that there were a lot of guards were roaming around out there.

He pretended to be innocent and stopped one of the guards, then he asked, "What happened?"

The guard only looked around before whispering to Yao Ying, "Someone is trying to trespass the forbidden gates."

The guard that Yao Ying stopped was a new one and he thought that Yao Ying was a part of Xiao Fang Gu Niang's entourage, thus, he had been coming here for several times before.
