His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 132: Lin Zhou - Something Isn't Right 2

It seemed like someone didn't want Han Xiang to be welcomed at Lin Zhou, but the only city that they could rest comfortably was Lin Zhou.

But why? Was there another party that wanted to prevent this marriage?

Even if they wanted to stop their marriage, they couldn't let people know that it was the work of Shu people... otherwise, the consequences would be dire!

Who did this?!

Yao Ling decided to drag the rest of them to rest at a nearby teahouse.

She felt thirsty and a teahouse was the place where people drinking and talking at the same time.

They probably would be able to hear something there.

Lin Zhou wasn't as big as Wen Feng, there was only one big teahouse in the city so the chance to find something out was bigger.

All of them had a tacit understanding not to talk about what they had heard from the street vendor.

Xiao Fang was going to say something on the road, but Yao Ling stopped her with a glance and mouthed to her that it wasn't the right place to talk.

Luckily, Xiao Fang was willing to listen to her.

They sat leisurely while enjoying their tea and pastries.

Yao Ling ate hungrily because she didn't eat any snacks on the street just for the sake of finding information.

There were not many people in the teahouse and they patiently waited there.

Yao Ling knew that Xiu had been ordered to find out the news secretly, so they weren't in a hurry.

They talked leisurely until a bunch of scholars went inside the teahouse.

The scholars chose to sit near the window and a bit far from where Yao Ling's party sat down.

However, the teahouse wasn't that big and the surroundings were also a bit quiet so they could hear clearly what the other party talked about.

Besides, they talked in loud voices and seemed like afraid not to be heard by other people.

"Haiyahhh~" One of them sighed loudly.

"Soon, The Han Princess will pass by Lin Zhou ahh~ It will bring us calamity ah!" The other said.

"Yes, ah~... The other two kingdoms are really looking down on our Shu Kingdom."

"How sad..."

"Haaaa~ should we receive the princess at Lin Zhou?"

"What else can we do?"

"It's a must..."

"But... the other two kingdoms want to join hand ah!"

"What if they will declare war and attack our Shu Kingdom together ah~?"

All of the scholars nodded at the same time.

They sat near the window and every passerby would be able to listen to their words and this teahouse was right in the middle of Lin Zhou's busy street, so what they talked about would soon be heard by all Lin Zhou's people.

Yao Ling realized that these bunch of scholars were the ones who spread the rumor and incited negative feelings toward Han Xiang before she even stepped foot at Lin Zhou.

If the commoners heard and harbored a negative feeling toward Han Xiang, there was a possibility that they would create a ruckus.

If something happened to Han Xiang, they couldn't avoid war!! Someone just deliberately used this opportunity to incite war.
