His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Yao Ying, Yao Ling, and Lin Jian quickly looked at the door, wanting to see Rong Heng’s appearance. Everyone’s weird emotions about this man made them feel really curious.

They wondered how did he look like in reality. Scary, maybe?

Rong Heng came in and everyone looked at him in awe. He was unlike Rong Qiu who had a scholarly look --- everyone assumed that the real Uncle Qiu must have been nine to ten points looking like Rong Qiu’s appearance.

He was brawnier than Lin Jian --- to be exact, he was physically attractive and with well-developed muscles which were the result of his hard work by training every day. No matter what, he was a general so he had to maintain his health and ability to fight.

Rong Heng had a chiseled and good looking face --- he looked younger than his age which was supposed to be a few years older than Yao Ling. When he came in with confident strides, he had dimples on both of his cheeks which made him even look more attractive. His smile must have been entracing so many women.

Yao Ling guessed that he must have been looking like the real Uncle Qiu’s deceased wife because there was no resemblance between Rong Heng and her father at all.

Contrary to his young-looking face which would make him look like a pretty boy if he had white skin, he had a tan complexion due to his activities which required him to be under the sun all the time. However, it added a masculinity charm to his previous attractiveness.

Honestly, his look was out of the trio’s expectation. They expected a burly looking man ah~! His face looked harmless so why did Ring Qiu feel slightly afraid of him ah~?!

Rong Heng looked around and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that there were three new faces inside their manor. He didn’t want to be impolite so he slightly nodded his head towards them so the trio greeted him back by nodding back as well --- only Yao Ling added a little curtsy because she wanted a good first impression.

Rong Heng took his gaze away and looked at Rong Qiu with a hearty laugh. He quickly ran to him and hugged the latter tightly. "Father! I miss you!" He didn’t hesitate or felt shy to show his emotions in front of so many strangers --- he was always this straightforward.

Rong Qiu was almost being squeezed to death by Rong Heng, after all, the latter didn’t hold back the strength of his hug ah~! Rong Qiu whined inwardly, ’This kid will really be the death of me ah~! Is this a payback from him?’ Rong Qiu knew that this sly fox must have been deliberately doing this to him.

Rong Heng might look harmless due to his good look but he was actually quite petty and didn’t want to suffer a grievance! If someone harmed him or made him angry, he would pay it back tenfold slowly.

Rong Qiu whined, "Let me go! Let me go! It hurts!" He tried to get away but to no avail. He was merely the scholar type so how could he beat a general ah~?! This son of his really didn’t give him any face in front of the others! Rong Qiu gritted his teeth in anger.

At first, the trio was feeling warm after seeing such a sweet scene. However, when they saw the effect of Rong Heng’s hug, they really didn’t know whether they should laugh or cry ah~! How much power did he use just for a hug? Was he pranking his own father?

Rong Heng said in a low voice, "Father... I’m missing you... Why do you want me to let you go? Don’t you miss me as well?" He didn’t seem to feel guilty at all.

Wu Cheng looked all of this with ease --- nothing had changed between the father and son after so long and this used to be a daily occurrence. He glanced at Yao Ling and wondered what kind of expression that Rong Heng would make when he knew that he had a long-lost sister. It would certainly be funny.

Rong Qiu whined once more. "Let me go, you unfilial son!" Without further ado, he slapped the back of Rong Heng’s head, trying to make him release him as soon as possible.

After feeling satisfied, Rong Heng finally released him for real.

Rong Qiu wanted to kick him but Rong Heng dodged him easily which made Rong Qiu’s face darkened even more. He decided to sit down in a huff and turn his face away from Rong Heng. When he met Yao Ling’s eyes, he flinched in embarrassment. How could he forget about his daughter ah~?!

He behaved so childishly in front of her and knew that it would shatter his image!

He started to get a headache again because he still needed to explain everything to Wu Cheng and Rong Heng --- it wouldn’t be fair for them if he kept the truth from them. Not only that, but he wouldn’t have a reasonable reason to follow Yao Ling back to the Shu Kingdom. It was better to tell them everything from the very beginning.

Rong Heng looked at the trio and asked Rong Qiu, "Father, who are they?"

Rong Qiu introduced them one by one and told him that they came from the Shu Kingdom that had helped Xiao Fang and after meeting them, he found out some truths that he wanted to share with Wu Cheng and Rong Heng.

"What kind of truth?" Rong Heng asked in a low voice. He rarely saw his father looked this serious, somehow, he could feel that this must have been something important. But he was confused... what was the connection with the people from another kingdom?

It wasn’t like his father had any dealing with people from another kingdom --- except that Aunt Yue. He didn’t know what kind of infatuation that his father had towards that woman, but he knew that it wasn’t the love between man and woman. It was a different kind of attraction...

He couldn’t really guess ah~! This made him feel uncomfortable because he had always proud of his ability to guess what was on people’s minds and calculate everything.

"Yao Ling, come here!" Rong Qiu called her over.

Yao Ling obediently came and smiled at Rong Heng. She felt really nervous at the moment and could only bite her lower lip to calm herself down. Rong Qiu saw this and he quickly held Yao Ling’s hand, trying to assure her that everything would be fine.

Rong Heng was surprised by their gesture because it looked so intimate in his eyes. His eyes kept following their connected hands... Rong Heng couldn’t cover up his shock because he certainly wouldn’t guess that they were actually that close!

"Don’t tell me that you want to take this young woman as your new wife?!" Rong Heng asked in a loud voice.

When Rong Qiu introduced them, he didn’t tell Rong Heng that Yao Ying and Yao Ling were a married couple, so it was understandable that he made such a conclusion.
