Chapter 50 - The Beginning of The Plan (1/2)

Yao Ling started the day as usual. After visiting the matriarch and Madam Wang for morning greeting, she started her lesson with Zhang Mo Mo. Her ȧssumption was correct, as long as she made the matriarch happy, she would be okay. Zhang Mo Mo didn't make it difficult for her because of yesterday matter. No punishment. Well... just a little bit lecture. She just reminded her to behave more like a noble lady.

She pursed her lips. 'Well… I am not actually noble. I still love running around and laughing merrily. If this kind of things couldn't be done, then I'd become crazy in no time.' Luckily, the matriarch was still kind and sensible. She didn't demand excessive request regarding her behavior. So, this lesson was still bearable to her. She could implement this lesson when she met important people one day.

That was why she took the lesson seriously. She didn't know that her willingness to learn diligently would help her a lot in the future. This was the best decision that she'd ever made.

She ended the lesson with Zhang Mo Mo's praise, making Yao Ling sigh in relief. After this lesson was finished, she planned to ask the matriarch to let her learn some other things. That could wait, because she needed to start working on their plan.

She found something weird though. Everyone was looking at her differently. They looked at her neck and blushed, but no one said anything.

”Xiao Yu... is there something wrong with me?” Yao Ling felt concious.

Xiao Yu concentrated her gaze on her young mistress neck and blushed at the same time. She didn't know how to tell her young mistress. It was also embarrassing for her. She closed her eyes and slowly pointed at her neck, ”There is something on Young Mistress' neck.”

Yao Ling was confused, but she went to look for a shiny object to see her own reflection. A maid was passing by with a big basin with no water in it. She called the maid, ”Let me borrow the basin.”

The maid quickly gave it to her, and at the same time, she blushed after looking at Yao Ling's neck. When Yao Ling saw her reaction, she knew something was definitely wrong. She quickly see her reflection and found a red love bite mark on her neck. She felt like fainting in embarrassment. Did she show it to public all morning? She felt like strangling Yao Ying for humiliating her like this! He didn't even tell her!

She quickly cover it up with her collar. Fortunately, she wore clothes with higher collar at the moment. Yao Ling glared at Xiao Yu, ”Why didn't you tell me?”

”Young Mistress.... pardon me, but I was too shy to say it out loud.” Xiao Yu looked down guiltily.

Yao Ling facepalmed herself and promised to punish her husband. ”Watch yourself out, Husband!” She mumbled to herself. She is going to punish him later.

Yao Ling went out to 'Fu Rong' just like usual, bringing Xiao Yu along with her. However, instead of going straight to 'Fu Rong', she made another trip. Yao Ying convinced her that their followers wouldn't dare to do anything to both of them. One, they had nothing on them. They just became a part of 'Wang Fu' for a few days, so other people didn't know whether they were important enough for Wang Luo Hai. Kidnapping them in exchange for money was out of the question because of it.

Two, they probably wanted to know their daily activities. If they were from 'Wang Fu', there was a probability they wanted to know whether they did things behind their back. Three, someone wanted to find their weakness, so they could get rid of them from 'Wang Fu'. Four, if it was Wang Luo Hai's enemy, then this was their blind spot. They didn't know who they were, because no one would tell them anything about the so-called enemy. They should just pretend they knew nothing, so they wouldn't attract their attention. If they were targeted, they were sure Wang Luo Hai would tell them at that time.

In conclusion, they wouldn't do anything to them – except observing. This calmed Yao Ling down a lot. She smiled to herself, they wanted to know what she was doing, then she would just let them know. Otherwise, it wouldn't be interesting.

Xiao Yu was following obediently when she realized that they didn't go to 'Fu Rong'. ”Young mistress, where are we going?” She asked in confusion.

”Just walking around. Enjoying the scenery.” Yao Ling laughed leisurely. She needed to look around, familiarizing herself with this city.

”Is it okay for being late?” Xiao Yu didn't know whether her young mistress already asked permission from Master.

”Don't worry! Father won't mind,” Yao Ling answered. She didn't ask for permission, because as his daughter, only walking around for a bit should be allowed, right? She wasn't a prisoner. ”I just want to stroll around. Nothing will happen.” Yao Ling understood Xiao Yu's concern.
