His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Liu Li pretended to tilt her head to the side. "Power? Overall or what?" Liu Li pretended to be oblivious.

The young maidservant was annoyed by Liu Li’s stupidity. Did she really need to ask? She didn’t think that Liu Li didn’t really understand what she meant because she had asked her the obvious. However, what Liu Li said piqued her interest. Were there a few people in charge of a household? Wouldn’t it be so weird and there would be more power struggle inside the household?

"Tell me everything!" The younger maidservant ordered in a soft voice so it didn’t make her look too excited to know about it.

"Hmm... If you say the overall power, it will be the old madam who has revoked every power that Madam Wang had. If it’s about the account book, it should be the young mistress who is in charge... and of course, it’s under the old madam’s order. In a way, everything depends on those two persons..." Liu Li answered carefully.

"Why don’t the old madam take charge of the account book as well? Isn’t the young mistress a bit too young to control everything? Besides... isn’t she adopted? She’s an outsider ah~!" The young maidservant was quite surprised. She didn’t understand what Wang Fu people thought to make such a decision...

Liu Li was helpless. "You also know the reason why they are being adopted, right? They are very clever and have a way to earn money which bring more wealth to Wang Fu... They have the abilities! Otherwise, why do you think our master thinks highly of them? Of course, the young mistress will handle it all. If I’m not offending her, I will be having a good day following ah~! Too bad, I stand on the opposite side of the young mistress from the very beginning. So, Madam Wang is my only way out."

Liu Li told the young maidservant that she had no choice but to continue supporting Madam Wang. However, she was also in a desperate situation.

The young maidservant asked curiously. "Is Wang Fu really that wealthy?" She wanted to know their exact wealth... Her miss wanted to calculate everything and see whether Wang Fu was really worth it or not... If her miss could rise, wouldn’t she have a good life in the future as well? Of course, she had to think of herself as well.

Liu Li really wanted to laugh ah~!

She quickly said, "Yes ah~! Very! Don’t you already find out from the lavish decoration at Wang Fu? It’s only a small part of their wealth... There are a lot of treasures and money to be counted every day... They are also quite generous with the servants..."

The young maidservant’s heart moved when she heard that. She had to push her young miss to make a move at this time so that they could have a better future. No one would mock her young miss anymore due to her low status as the daughter of a concubine ah~! She pretended to sigh, "It’s too bad that you have offended the young mistress for Madam Wang’s sake..."

Liu Li forced a smile. "She’s my master ah~! I have no choice but do her biddings..."

The young maidservant nodded her head in sympathy. "I understand how you feel..." She paused for a little while before asking, "Do you think that Madam Wang could raise in power once again?" The young maidservant investigated everything because if Madam Wang raised in power once again, her young miss wouldn’t be able to do anything. It was better to be safe than sorry later.

Liu Li frowned. "I think it’s a bit hard. Why do you think I need to ask for help from Madam Wang’s maiden family ah~?! They are the only chance that I think about..."

"Really?" The young maidservant asked in excitement.

Liu Li nodded her head. "Really! That’s why your miss should help Madam Wang as well."

The young maidservant almost forgot herself for a moment. "Oh... Oh... yes, yes... Of course! Of course, my young miss will help Madam Wang..." She answered with a stutter. She gave another bag of money to Liu Li and said, "If my young miss needs your help in the future, please help us!" She said with a smile.

Liu Li pretended to be taken aback and asked, "What... What kind of help?"

"Of course, just like now, it won’t be too difficult for you... You will know more in the future..." The young maidservant said in a mysterious way.

"But..."

"Jie Jie... just take this as an introductory gift from my young miss... If you have any information about Wang Fu, please let us know as well... My young miss would certainly treat you well..." The young maidservant said in a persuasive way.

"This..." Liu Li still looked a bit uncomfortable before she hardened herself and finally said, "Then, help me thank your young miss... I will!"

The young maidservant nodded her head in happiness and decided to go back once she achieved her goals. She would tell everything that she had successfully inquired to her young miss. After all, they had gotten a few pieces of good news ah~!

Liu Li went back to Wang Fu and reported everything that had happened to Yao Ling in excitement. Yao Ling paid attention to her story carefully.

Once Yao Ling had gotten ahold of the account, she found many loopholes and once she tracked everything, she could see that Madam Wang gave a hefty sum of money whenever she had gotten the chance to her maiden home. It wasn’t a small amount ah~! She reported everything to Wang Luo Hai and the latter explained everything to her so she could only pretend that she had seen nothing.

Liu Li showed her the bag of money that she had received and said, "This servant really doesn’t know that the daughter of a concubine could be this wealthy..."

"Hmph!" Yao Ling snorted. "This is all our Wang Fu’s money... after all, she got it from Madam Wang. No wonder she keeps behaving nicely in front of Madam Wang, she could have a lavish life ah~!"

Liu Li said, "Then, this servant will give the money back to young mistress..." She felt uncomfortable to take the money without Yao Ling’s permission.

"No need... You are the one who received it, so you should just keep it..." Yao Ling generously said.

Liu Li smiled happily. "Thank you, young mistress! Do young mistress still need this servant for anything else?"

Yao Ling shook her head. "No... you can take a rest. If I need you with something, I will call you."

Liu Li curtsied and went out of the room.

"What do you think of it?" Yao Ling asked Yao Ying who stayed silent beside her all the time.
