His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 389 - 390

🔘Chapter 389: The Investigation (3)

Yao Ling sighed in relief when she heard Xiu's answer. That was the answer that she wanted to hear.

"If that's the truth, then all is good..." Yao Ling said while nodding her head in satisfaction.

She heard Xiu's reaction clearly and knew that the man wasn't lying.

Judging from the way he was talking about Ying Ying, he was feeling disgusted with that woman and Yao Ling also felt the same as Xiu.

That woman seemed to sell her body to achieve her goal and what made her different from a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e? Such a woman... she wouldn't let her people to be contaminated!

Somehow, she sighed in relief because it meant this woman must have been trying to take advantage of Yao Ying.

Unless... the past Yao Ying was actually a bastard who worked together as a pair with that woman in that kind of scheme...

However, Yao Ling would never believe that Yao Ying was such a man!

Even if someone had forgotten about his or her past, she believed that that person wouldn't lose his or her basic personality! Yao Ying was a righteous person so he must have disdained the way that woman did things.

Yao Ying was also feeling bewildered by Yao Ling's sudden question.

"Why did you ask such a weird question?"

He asked Yao Ling through the other side of the screen so he couldn't see her expression clearly --- which made him couldn't guess the reason as well. Was she joking... or not?

Xiu was nodding his head inwardly, wanting to know what was inside the young mistress' mind ah~!

He was wondering whether she was doubting him or not...

If yes, why? He didn't think that he had done something that made them doubt him because he was always loyal ah~!

However, it was inappropriate for him to raise the question so it was fortunate that young master had asked in his behalf.

"I just don't want Xiu to do something that would make Xiao Yu sad..." Yao Ling said in a low voice.

She didn't feel guilty for asking the question because it had something to do with Xiao Yu's future.

She was her most trusted maidservant so of course, Yao Ling would take care of Xiao Yu's happiness as well.

If Xiu wasn't a loyal man, she wouldn't let Xiao Yu get married to him even if Xiao Yu still insisted.

Xiu started to understand why Yao Ling did that and it made him feel happy --- after all, it meant that their young mistress really cared about Xiao Yu.

It also meant that she didn't distrust him! He smiled and said,

"Thank you for your concern, Young Mistress. But this servant will swear to God that it wasn't me... If this servant lies, this servant is willing to be killed by thunder..."

He wanted to prove his innocence by swearing.

"Hush!" Yao Ling quickly yelled, trying to put a stop to his sentence.

"Stop it! I believe in you. As long as you don't betray Xiao Yu and always make her happy... it's good enough for me... Just prove it to me with how you treat her in the future..." Yao Ling said in a low voice.

Xiu answered wholeheartedly, "Of course, Young Mistress. I promise... I will treat her well..."

He really wanted to ask for their permission for his marriage but he knew that this wasn't the right time yet.
