His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 40: The Quicker You Go, The Faster You Come

The next day, Yao Ling felt like dying from the heat. When she woke up, Yao Ying was long gone for his morning practice.

On her left arm, Yao Ying wrote some words on her bandage, 'Serve you right! Who told you to choose this stupid punishment and refuse to enjoy our night.' At the end of those sentences, he drew a silly laughing man.

Yao Ling could only grit her teeth in annoyance. Hmpf! He still had the heart to tease her!

"Xiao Yu..." She called Xiao Yu over with slightly hoarse voice due to her dry throat.

Xiao Yu went in and gave a cup of water for her young mistress to drink.

She watched her disheveled young mistress and laughed inwardly.

Her laugh turned into a burst of full-blown laughter after she saw what the young master had written on the bandage.

She didn't dare to say out loud, but she indeed had the same thought. 'Serve you right, Young Mistress!'

Yao Ling felt disgruntled with the way Xiao Yu behaved, but she knew this time... it was because of her own stupid idea.

She let Xiao Yu serve her because she was actually too tired because of the lack of sleep.

She didn't have it easy last night. She could only toss and turn around uncomfortably for the whole night.

She got this stupid idea because she remembered how she had helped her deceased mother taking care of some of her patients.

She bandaged their wounds and she just changed the concept for a little bit. Okay... not a little bit.

She went for the extreme way and she regretted it. Damn! She would never do that again.

"Xiao Yu, later... I will pretend that I am sick, that's why I need you to be my distraction here. Don't let anyone come inside my room, including all of the maids in the household. Can you do that?" She asked for Xiao Yu's help.

Yao Ling cleverly leaked only a bit of her plan yesterday and she didn't tell Xiao Yu what she would do later.

It was better that way, besides she needed Xiao Yu's help to handle this side and also deflect others' attention from her.

No one would pay attention if she were sick. She would be able to do everything more carefree this way.

Xiao Yu furrowed her eyebrows. "Where are you going, Young Mistress?"

"Just going to meet Xiao Xia. Yesterday, I already made a promise, right?"

"Are you going out alone, Young Mistress?" Xiao Yu asked in distress.

"Yes. I'm going out alone."

"No! Young Mistress, it's very dangerous! This servant can't let you go. If Master knows and something bad happens to you, this servant doesn't dare to think of the consequences. Please don't make it hard for this servant!" Xiao Yu begged Yao Ling to think twice before making such a crazy decision.

Xiao Yu wasn't thinking about herself only, but also considering about her young mistress' safety.

For a girl... going out alone... it wasn't only dangerous, but it could also ruin her reputation.

Yao Ling could see that Xiao Yu was really worried about her safety.

She tried to calm Xiao Yu, because it was really important for her to meet Xiao Xia's Ning jie. "Nothing will happen to me. Don't worry! I'll disguise myself in man's clothing. You just need to help me out by preventing someone from finding out the missing me."
