Chapter 111 - The Report (1) (1/2)
”Xiao Yu, prepare everything for us.” Yao Ling was really famished after their little exercise, besides both of them hadn't eaten lunch.
”Yes, Young Mistress.” Xiao Yu answered her with a red face, but she didn't dare to look at Yao Ling's face. Yao Ling could only sigh and let her be. She needed to be thick-skinned when she behaved around her maidservants. After all, she's a married woman and this won't happen only once.
Yao Ying sat on the seat beside her and she didn't dare to look at him too. Xiao Yu's shyness seemed to affect her. Besides, she was too lazy to look at his smug face. They enjoyed their snacks and tea silently. Yao Ying didn't feel comfortable with the silence, so he asked her, ”What did you do in the morning? It seemed like you made a few arrangements.”
Yao Ling almost forgot to tell him and she recited everything that she had done. She didn't forget to tell him that she arranged his subordinates, Xiu and Feng to do some jobs. ”I'm sorry for not asking your permission first.”
”Don't worry! You are my wife. You can order them around as you see fit. After all, I know that you do everything for our best interest.” Yao Ying directly gave her permission to control and arrange his people.
Yao Ling nodded, feeling satisfied with his answer. He always knew how to make her feel better. In the middle of their tea time, Xiao Yu whispered to Yao Ling that Xiu had come back. She quickly told her to let him in and Xiao Yu was also told to guard the door.
”Young Master, Young Mistress...” Xiu hurriedly came in and gave his respect.
”How is it?”
”Young Mistress truly has good insight. This servant told Xiao Yu's parents to bring only important things and get back later for the rest. They did as what this servant told them and this servant quickly sent them to Ning jie's house. I didn't want the old couple to go back and forth, so I was the only one who went back to their house. The whole place was ransacked by unknown people. It seemed like an attempted robbery, but we know the truth, so...” Xiu explained and trailed off at the last part.
Yao Ying nodded his head. ”It seems like they try to kill them.”
”Haiyah~ I'm not sure if the one who did it is Liu Li. She is currently crippled and I'm sure that her body is still full of wounds. But well... she has her own henchmen for doing the dirty deed.” Yao Ling pondered over the matter once again.
”To me, it seems like her other master is the culprit. He or she is probably afraid that Liu Li will tattle on him or her. By killing Xiao Yu's family, it may trigger our anger and borrow our hands to deal with Liu Li,” Yao Ying told them his speculation.
”Well... that makes perfect sense. We can only know for sure when Liu Li gets better. I'm waiting for the good show,” Yao Ling smiled. Liu Li was quite a character. Judging from her personalities, after she got better, she would definitely do something amusing for them --- whether it would help them or make trouble for them, she didn't know for sure.
”Xiu... how about Feng's side? Is there any news?” Yao Ling asked, feeling worried about the little kid. She hoped they would be able to rescue the kid, because judging from the way they tried to kill Xiao Yu's parents, the next target would be the little boy.
”Still no news,” Xiu shook his head and answered. He hadn't met his brother, so he didn't know anything about his progress too.
”The other side already starts working... We need to save Xiao Yu's brother today. Otherwise, the consequences will be bad,” Yao Ying analyzed the whole things and Yao Ling knew his conclusion was in line with hers. If they didn't save Xiao Yu's younger brother today, they were sure that he would be killed.
