His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 43: See Something That Shouldn't Be Seen, Part 3&4

— Part 3

Xiao Yu could only clamp her mouth and close her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

Behaving like a lunatic wouldn't help her brother at all. After opening her eyes, the once crazed eyes changed into tranquil ones.

It wasn't that she actually became calmer, but she needed to think of a way carefully about how to save her brother.

"I will behave." She could only agree with Liu Li's term. Her brother's safety was more important.

"Good! Any important news that I should know about?" Liu Li asked with a glint in her eyes. She felt that Yao Ling was a sore to her eyes.

She smirked to herself; she already set her eyes to someone and she would get him with all cost necessary.

Yao Ling previously had lowly status just like her, but why did she the one who got all the good things? If Yao Ling could, then she also could do the same!

"Nothing important happened. Today Young Mistress is sick and she stays inside her room all day," Xiao Yu lied.

She didn't know what her young mistress was up to, but she wouldn't tell Liu Li about it. She still had her conscience.

Even though she might harm her younger brother, but she remembered how kind her young mistress toward her.

"How about yesterday? Why didn't she go straight to 'Fu Rong'?"

"Young Mistress just wanted to buy snacks and she helped poor people there," Xiao Yu answered truthfully.

There was nothing wrong yesterday, so she didn't mind telling her the truth.

"Poor people?" Xiao Yu furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Yes, just a little beggar girl." Xiao Yu answered in a soft voice.

"Why did she help her?" Liu Li asked, feeling uncertain.

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded with Liu Li's logic. Why couldn't her young mistress help other people who needed it? She wanted to roll her eyes, but she was afraid that she would make her agitated. "Er--- because Young Mistress is kind?" She could only mutter this question.

"Gah! In this world, nobody is that kind."

"But... she really only gave them money," Xiao Yu explained.

Although she knew that Yao Ling had another plan, but she didn't reveal any of it.

"Hmph! Pretentious people!" Liu Li insulted Yao Ling's character in disdain.

"..." Xiao Yu was completely speechless. It seemed like Liu Li was really deranged and had twisted logic.

She decided to stay silent as not to rattle the crazy woman in front of her.

"Good! You didn't feed me with lies. I already knew that your young mistress was staying in her room all the time," Liu Li laughed. "Continue your act and be good, okay?" Liu Li patted Xiao Yu's hand mockingly and made the later grit her teeth in anger.

After that Liu Li turned around, she was accidentally facing Xiu and he could finally perfectly see her expression.

Her previous deranged expression switched into a serene one in the blink of an eye and she left Xiao Yu there leisurely.

Xiu was surprised with her amazing act, but it made his shiver in a bad way.

Xiao Yu was alarmed by what Liu Li had just said.

She wasn't the only spy in her young mistress' courtyard. She didn't know how to warn her young mistress.

If only... she wasn't one of them. She felt the guilt gnawing inside her heart and she couldn't help but cry.
