His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 42: Are You Going On Board Or Not?

"How many children do you have here?" Yao Ling asked curiously.

"Currently, besides these two babies, I have twelve children live with me. Seven girls and five boys," Ning Qing Xue answered her truthfully. "Why?"

Yao Ling beamed at her. "I need several shadow guards, personal maids, and people to plant outside of my household. Spies to be precisely and do odd jobs here and there."

Ning Qing Xue looked at her in disbelief. "What? You basically need everything! Don't you even have your own people now?"

"No. I have personal maid and servant, but both were given to us by 'Wang Fu'. I'm currently testing them whether they could be trusted or not.

However, to implement our own people in my household, I still need time to prepare by getting rid some of the spies." Yao Ling laid all her cards on the table. She truly had nothing to lose, because she didn't even have anyone on her side – except her husband, of course.

"The ones who were given must be given for some reasons. If you test them and you don't have their loyalty, then you should do whatever you can to make their loyalty yours.

They can also become your double agents," Ning Qing Xue suggested. "This what I should do back then. I was too arrogant and my personal servants betrayed me too in the end."

Yao Ling listened to what Ning jie said and contemplated over that matter.

Ning jie indeed gave her a great idea and she was grateful for the pointer. 'I don't need to remove all the spies. The one that can be brought over might be able to be used, while those who can't... I can remove them.' Indeed, it was a good idea.

"Buying their loyalty is probably easier than maintaining their loyalty. Once someone betrays their masters, they can do it again later," Yao Ling said.

Ning Qing Xue looked at Yao Ling and laughed, "I'm just giving you an idea. Whether you do it or not, it's up to you. How you implementing it... it's also for you to think about. Whether you are succeeded or not, it's also your own responsibilities."

'Well... that makes sense.' Yao Ling helplessly thought.

Ning jie still hadn't given Yao Ling her agreement.

"So... are you going on board or not?" Yao Ling decided to ask once again. Thinking too much about this matter really gave her a headache.

There were too many possibilities that she had to contemplate and count, well... she probably should think about this later.

The most important thing at the moment was gaining Ning jie's approval. She had to get one!

Although she didn't manage to survive in the household, she could help her by giving a pointer. Who knew that maybe her mistakes would save her in the end?

If Ning jie agreed, she would probably agree even if Ning jie had another condition.

Heck! Even if she wanted to make a comeback at 'Qin Fu', she would probably agree to her demand and help her with everything she could.

Ning Qing Xue didn't know how to answer the question. Her brain was overloaded with the information that Yao Ling gave her.

She knew that there was no free meal in this world and she also knew that Yao Ling had an ulterior motive for helping, but the name Qin Xiu Ai invoked something within her.

She already severed her relationship with 'Qin Fu' and Qing Xue had already decided to use her mother's surname, 'Ning'.
