His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 165: Lin Zhou - Han Xiang 4

"Yao Ling, do you remember the woman who was gossiping about Han Xiang back at Wen Feng?" Yao Ying asked.

When Yao Ling heard what Yao Ying just said, her eyes lit up with new hope. "I remember!"

"Can you draw her and give the painting to Lin Jian?" Yao Ying asked.

Yao Ling nodded excitedly.

She wasn't that good at drawing but it was enough to draw the essence of the woman's appearance.

She was around thirty-something years old woman with a long face and sly eyes.

The most distinguished character was the big mole under her left eye.

She believed that their subordinate would be able to find the woman easily.

"Lin Jian... this woman has an aunt that used to work at the palace. We can probably get something out of her. You can give them money or whatever you want, but we can't kill her! If we need something, we can use her..." Yao Ying said.

"It will be better if the old woman can be brought to Lin Zhou, but she has to stay in a different location. We need to talk to this woman ourselves... We need to crosscheck with Xiao Fang about this old woman's identity."

Lin Jian nodded in understanding. "I think that's a good idea. I remember Yao Ling said the way the woman boasted and told her friends that all of the gossips about Han Xiang are true. She probably knows something."

"How long will you be able to find her?" Yao Ying asked. "We don't have that much time. Once the bridal dowries arrive, we will have a hard time to prevent this wedding alliance." Yao Ying reminded Lin Jian that they had a time limit to do all this.

The bridal dowries at least needed two or three days preparation and probably around one more week for the length of the trip --- there was also a possibility that the Han Emperor would want everything to happen smoothly and faster.

They needed to take this into account.

They needed to handle Han Xiang's matter in one week.

The faster, the better.

"Don't worry! We have our own ways of communication. It will probably take around two or three days," Lin Jian said. "Let me contact them right away! I will let both of you discuss this matter by yourself for now. Just let me know if there's something important."

Yao Ying and Yao Ling nodded their head.

After bade goodbye to the couple, Lin Jian quickly went out of the room.

He didn't stay any longer because he needed to deal with his task as soon as possible.

Lin Jian had to admit that even though Yao Ling was so young but she had a clever mind.

Yao Ying didn't lose to her because he was the one who came up the wicked idea most of the time.

He really praised them because those two were really complementing each other.

'Powerful couple...' That's what Lin Jian thought about them.

Xiao Yu wasn't in the room when they were talking about this matter because they were still hiding Mi Hui's existence from their subordinates.

After they finished talking, Xiao Yu was called in and Yao Ling asked her to tell Han Yi that they needed to hold on for several days until they found that woman's aunt.

Han Er needed to keep an eye on Han Xiang and there was no room for failure.

Yao Ling wanted Xiao Fang to cater to Han Xiang's need --- whatever she wanted, Xiao Fang needed to obey her.
