His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 278 - 279

🔘Chapter 278: Bai Beng Wen

Rong Qiu was still managing the matter near the lake when he felt that someone was coming.

He turned around and saw a stunningly handsome man which he had already guessed what the man's identity was.

However, he still pretended to be oblivious to the handsome man's presence.

After all, they had never officially met yet.

His indifferent reaction made the esteemed guest flare up, but he knew that he wasn't in his own kingdom and he should restrain himself for a little bit.

Besides, he always stayed inside his courtyard and he couldn't blame Uncle Qiu because of that.

The esteemed guest pasted a smile on his face and greeted Uncle Qiu, "Good morning, Uncle Qiu."

Rong Qiu couldn't pretend that he didn't hear him, thus, he turned around and smiled to the esteemed guest, "Good morning! You are...?" He deliberately trailed off at the last part.

"My name is Bai Bing Wen and I'm a guest here,"

The esteemed guest answered while pointing at the place where he had stayed for the past few weeks.

He finally revealed his own name, after all, Rong Qiu has tried to inquire his name for several times --- but failed.

He also didn't know this man's identity in the Qin Kingdom.

Bai Bing Wen --- he would take note of this name and find out more about him.

Rong Qiu pretended to be surprised and he quickly bowed politely at Bai Bing Wen. "Ah... so you are our Emperor's esteemed guest," he said politely.

"No need to be so polite..." Bai Bing Wen said leisurely while waving his hand to show his superiority.

Rong Qiu knew Bai Bing Wen just talked for the sake of it, because he could see how arrogant the latter was. However, he was still able to maintain his calmness.

He pretty much had guessed why the esteemed guest tried to meet him.

Fortunately, he had just sent away the last batch of servants and maidservants that he chased away.

He had to let go of a total of thirteen people.

At least, he hoped that those servants would be safe from this man's clutches --- he could see how wicked this Bai Bing Wen was.

Bai Bing Wen squinted his eyes when he looked at the back of those scared servants.

He asked, "What happened? Why did you chase them away?"

It might look like harmless questions, but Rong Qiu could see the ruthless glint inside his eyes --- indeed, this man was dangerous. It was better not to fight head on with him.

Rong Qiu explained, "These servants had done so many wrongdoings over time and I used to turn a blind eye. However, after I checked what they did one by one, I realized that there is a possibility that their wrongdoings could be the reason why Aunt Yue was kidnapped. Their negligences were pretty severe."

After that, Rong Qiu pretended to sigh in defeat, "If only I paid attention to this beforehand... Aunt Yue wouldn't be easily kidnapped. I already searched for her everywhere, but couldn't find her trace!"

Bai Bing Wen furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "You have never paid attention to this, so why do you suddenly change your mind?"
