Chapter 314 Killing Two Birds With One Stone
Yao Ying and Lin Jian already saved Bao Bei. Indeed, the only one who cared about Bao Bei only Rong Qiu. No guards really paid attention to Bao Bei when they searched around the area --- hence it was easy for them to find an excuse for Bao Bei’s disappearance. They put Bao Bei at the same stable as Bao Bao because there was no space left in there.
Bao Bei was popular for its white mane, thus, they decided to paint Bao Bei’s mane with black ink randomly and honestly, she looked so ugly. Her majestic appearance was gone ah~! This was Yao Ying and Lin Jian’s aim. Bao Bei was too stand out because of the beauty and when she was ugly, no one would connect her with the lost sacred pet.
Yao Ling was satisfied with the arrangement. This was also the reason why Bao Bei was pregnant --- she was being pounced on by Bao Bao once they shared a stable. This happened because they needed to delay for two days ah~! If they set out right away, this thing wouldn’t have happened.
It was fate...
The only one who cried later would only be Uncle Qiu because he didn’t like Bao Bao. Too bad though, his daughter was the matchmaker so he could only swallow his grievance. A good breed should be paired with a good breed too ah~! It was too late though...
However, it was a story for another time.
"Father-in-law, what do you plan to do?" Yao Ying asked because Rong Qiu seemed to already have a good idea in his mind, judging from the smug look on his face.
He told them about the esteemed guest and asked, "Do you have a way to find out his identity? I need to know his relationship with the Han Emperor so that the plan that I will tell you is able to work out well."
Yao Ying nodded his head, "I have one person who can do this job."
"Xiu?" Yao Ling asked curiously. She reckoned with Xiu’s skill, he would be able to do this.
"No... he always stays by our side and everyone here knows that. However, we still have one more person, Zhuo Li. It’s better if Zhou Li is the one who does this job," Yao Ying said. Zhuo Li was the assassins sent by one of Wang Luo Hai’s woman and became their subordinate. His martial arts skills weren’t that superb but he had the brain, and it was suitable for this job. He was good at inquiring information and making strategies.
It was too dangerous if they directly tried to sneak into the esteemed guest’s place, so they had to find another way --- a better one.
Yao Ling nodded in agreement. She called Zhuo Li in and let Yao Ying explain the matter to him.
"Can you do it?" Yao Ying asked seriously. He also wanted to know how clever this Zhuo Li was.
Zhuo Li nodded his head and answered confidently, "Don’t worry, Young Master! This servant will find out about him by tomorrow morning." After saying that, Zhuo Li left. He already mingled with a few servants there and it would make it easier for him to obtain some pieces of information.
Lin Jian and Xiao Fang didn’t have any objection with how things were arranged, because they trusted the couple’s judgment. They would just sit leisurely this time.
"Father, what kind of plan you have in mind?" Yao Ling asked curiously.
"I want them to fight with each other," Rong Qiu answered with a smile.
"The esteemed guest and the Han Emperor?" Xiao Fang asked, trying to make sure that she was thinking the same thing as them. Xiao Fang knew she wasn’t as clever as them, but she was willing to learn.
Rong Qiu nodded his head. He explained that the esteemed guest must have known about Aunt Yue and even spied on her --- it meant he indeed wanted to use Aunt Yue’s power for his own personal reasons. They should create a trail so that it looked like the esteemed guest was the one who took Aunt Yue away by force.
The Han Emperor would aim his sword at the esteemed guest. This way, people would know that Aunt Yue was merely missing --- not dead. They wouldn’t think that the power had been inherited by Yao Ling. So, let them fight with each other!
No matter what the result was, they had been long gone and Rong Qiu didn’t think that they would connect the incident with Yao Ling. This was the best solution.
The others nodded their head in agreement. This seemed like a good idea. They would be able to kill two birds with one stone. As long as it made the Han Emperor unhappy, Xiao Fang would be happy to do anything!
"But... how could we plant the evidence inside the esteemed guest’s place? You said that it’s being guarded heavily, Godfather?" Xiao Fang asked.
Yao Ling laughed. "Don’t worry about that! It will be easy to do. The more important thing is Zhuo Li’s report. After that, we can plan what kind of evidence we should prepare."
Rong Qiu nodded, agreeing with Yao Ling’s view. This little girl was quite clever! It seemed like she inherited his mind ah~! He was a proud father!
Because there was nothing to discuss anymore, everyone dispersed one by one. Rong Qiu secretly went out because he didn’t want people to notice the abnormality of his behavior. His relationship with Yao Ying and Yao Ling was just so-so before and if he suddenly kept hanging around them, it would certainly make people feel suspicious.
"Why don’t we rest earlier?" Yao Ying asked Yao Ling softly.
Yao Ling shook her head, "No. Because I slept at noon, I’m not so sleepy now."
Yao Ying laughed at her. "So, what do you want to do... my pregnant wife?" He teased her lovingly.
"Where are the scrolls?" Yao Ling asked while raising one of her eyebrows.
Yao Ying sighed. Since when his wife became a nerd? "Ling-er, we are not in a hurry. Why are you so agitated?" Yao Ying asked in confusion.
"I don’t want yesterday’s matter to be repeated once again," Yao Ling explained.
"I already told you that you shouldn’t use your power, so you can postpone reading the scrolls, okay?" Yao Ying said. "Besides, we don’t want people accidentally stumble upon the scrolls and notice that the power is inherited by you!"
Yao Ling naturally understood this and she thought that what he said was making sense, thus, she nodded obediently. She sighed and asked, "I can’t sleep ah~!"
She looked at Yao Ying and asked, "Don’t you feel tired? Why don’t you sleep first?"
Yao Ying shook his head. "My wife hasn’t slept yet, how dare I sleep first?" He asked jokingly.
Yao Ling laughed and poked Yao Ying’s chest. "Nonsense!"
Yao Ying’s eyes suddenly lit up and grinned widely at Yao Ling. The latter shivered when he gave her that look. "What?" She asked softly.
"Why don’t we make it comes true?" Yao Ying asked seductively.
"What do you mean?" Yao Ling asked in confusion.
"Pregnant!" He said cheerfully.
