His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 286: Nei Huang, Part 1&2

— PART 1

There were so many theories, but they also didn't know which one was the right answer.

They could guess, but the one who knew about the real answer only the esteemed guest himself.

Even though their plan was successful, they didn't really feel happy about it. After all, it cost the life of two people.

Although they weren't in a good relationship with Rong Qiu, they were still innocent ah~! Thus, they still felt a bit guilty.

Fortunately, the esteemed guest didn't kill all of the people there or they would feel even guiltier.

Bai Bing Wen might be a lunatic but wasn't an irrational person.

He wouldn't do something that didn't benefit him.

Yao Ling finally said because they had nothing left to guess,

"Maybe Father would know something about this matter or the esteemed guest's identity... we should ask him when he arrived here."

The others murmured their agreement, even though they had to wait for a few more days, they would wait patiently.

That night, all of them were sleeping with many complicated thoughts.

What if that esteemed guest realized that they were the one who planned the whole thing? They would certainly make an enemy with a crazy man.

-------------------------

Rong Qiu was lucky when he set off because he didn't encounter any sandstorm.

It took lesser time for him than Yao Ling's entourage to arrive at Nei Huang.

He only went out with Ah Zhao and a few guards.

When he arrived there, he was bombarded with a lot of questions by his daughter and friends.

"Wait... wait... tell me about the news first!" Rong Qiu asked for more details.

He really wanted to take a nap for a little while, but the agitated youngsters didn't let him go easily.

Fortunately, Rong Qiu had a good sleep the day before. Even though he was tired, it wasn't that bad.

Therefore, he patiently listened to the news from Crescent Lake.

Rong Qiu's face darkened when he heard that Hong Wen was killed in a cold-blooded manner.

The letter said about his wound and it was really ugly! There was no sign of fight and it was one fatal stab on his stomach.

However, there was a sign that he had been stabbed ruthlessly at one spot.

How poor of him!

Even though Rong Qiu didn't like that guy, they usually fought using their mouths ah~!

He sighed sadly but knew that he couldn't change Hong Wen's fate anyway --- and he wouldn't.

People always had their selfish side and he wasn't an exception.

Rong Qiu would choose his daughter's safety rather than Hong Wen's.

He wondered to himself whether it was because of the jade pendant that he had given them.

After realizing that this was probably the case, his face started to change but he didn't dare to tell the others.

He simply took a note of it and hoped that he was wrong...

Maybe he would discuss this thing in private with Yao Ying.

Rong Qiu wondered whether he had made a mistake.
