His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 19: Annoying Flies

Concubine Wan accidentally passed the garden where the two people chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

She scowled to herself and furrowed her eyebrows, making her beautiful face slightly wrinkled.

What was with the sudden closeness? Concubine Wan felt endangered.

She passed her day just fine, after all, no one had any children. There was competition here and there but not that much.

With a dark look, she despised the closeness between Madam Wang and that Yao Ling girl.

Their closeness would threaten her place as a concubine.

Without a child to bargain with then what other things that she had to gain favor from her husband? And now, Madam Wang got herself an ally.

She wasn't stupid enough not to understand how much Wang Luo Hai valued Yao Ying and Yao Ling.

She must find a way to break their trust to each other. She felt regret because she didn't snatch the chance to leave a good impression to Yao Ling.

She thought they were not going to be here for long. The first time they met, she criticized her.

She also felt her hatred toward Yao Ling increasing, because Yao Ling reminded her of her background.

That kid was really good at finding information. It seemed like she couldn't let down her guard around her.

Besides, she needed to think of a good countermeasure.

The two harmonious mother-daughter couple hadn't realized that she was there.

She contemplated whether she should go there or went back to think.

Their laughter increased her jealousy and she thought of how Wang Luo Hai was a disappointment.

She knew the problem of not having children lay on her husband, but she didn't dare to say a word about it. Maybe she should go there and sow a discord?

She looked at the maid beside her, Liu Li. She was brought along with her into this family from the brothel.

"Should I go there?" The girl had a clever mind and generally, a lot of ideas came from her.

Concubine Wan had a bad temper, however, Liu Li was the one who gave her a lot of pointers. She survived in this household thanks to her.

It was no wonder she would seek her advice before doing something.

Liu Li whispered a few things to her and Concubine Wan was smiling because of it. The more she heard the suggestion the more she liked the idea more.

This Liu Li was truly smart. It was not in vain for her to bring her along.

In a big household, she was in need of confidante and that was Liu Li's role.

"Let's do it then." Concubine Wan decided to follow Liu Li's suggestion. She sauntered over the mother-daughter pair.

She changed her expression into a pleasant smile.

She could see how the smile on Madam Wang's face was slightly gone and it pleased her so much. She just loved taunting Madam Wang.

Yao Ling could also see the mood change and sighed inwardly. In this household, there wouldn't be a day when she could have any peace.

If there were no concubines, this household would be a peaceful one. She was a bit sorry about it but she couldn't choose being adopted by whom.

They also couldn't possibly ask Wang Luo Hai to kick out his concubines.

She could only do her best to make her stay here comfortable.
