Chapter 277 - Aunt Yue (2/2)

Uncle Qiu answered, ”Nothing really. I just sit down and chat with her. After all, being imprisoned... she always lives a lonely life. The only person she knows in this kingdom is me, so naturally, she chose me to accompany her once in a while back then. If the Han Emperor didn't permit her request, then she wouldn't tell him anything about what she saw in her insight...”

Xiao Fang nodded in understanding. ”You helped her and her people, thus, she is thankful to you. Not only that, Godfather... If she wasn't impressed by you back then, she wouldn't ask for this request.”

Listening to such sweet words, it made Uncle Qiu feel quite happy. Who didn't like being praised? His expression became slightly better. It was true... this happened because he was the one who fought for the Bai Yue people back then. Well... not only him, but also Xiao Fang's father. Maybe the seed of the doubts had been planted in the Han Emperor's mind because of this matter ah~!

”How many times do you visit her in a month?” Xiao Fang asked curiously.

”Why do you ask so many questions ah~?” Unce Qiu asked her back.

Xiao Fang laughed. ”You caught me! I want to go along with you when you meet with her, Godfather!”

Uncle Qiu shook his head helplessly. ”Xiao Fang ah~! I already told you that it's better if you aren't involved in this matter. I usually meet her once a week, but I don't think I can bring you in.”

”But why?” Xiao Fang whɨnėd.

”Because it's our nation's secret... It's dangerous for you to be involved in it.” Uncle Qiu was quite adamant with his belief --- he didn't want Xiao Fang to know more. He indeed covered up a few things just to make her give up. He knew that there was something special happened when the old woman got her insight, however, he wasn't going to tell Xiao Fang that. Or else, she would become more curious.

Uncle Qiu failed to realize that this matter was really important to Xiao Fang. If he just told her about it, she wouldn't create problems for him in the near future!

Just look at this! Even without knowing those intriguing things, she was still curious and wanted to follow him. What more if she knew about it?

”Uncle Qiu, were you always going there all alone?” Xiao Fang asked with a mischievous smile.

”Not really. Once in a while, I brought someone else with me. However, those people are always my chosen subordinates... I know that she wouldn't have entertainment in there, so once in a while, I would prepare gifts for her and I needed people to help me bringing those gifts...” Uncle Qiu explained.

”Then, it's great!” Xiao Fang said excitedly.

Xiao Fang didn't disappoint him, she really talked about the dreaded request, ”Then, can I go along with you?”

”I already said no!” Uncle Qiu answered sternly.

”But... I can pretend to be your maidservant ah~, Godfather! It should be fine, right?” Xiao Fang asked pleadingly.

”No... it's too dangerous...”

”Godfather, please...” Xiao Fang kept begging him.

Uncle Qiu answered exasperatedly, ”You are quite popular around here. You stay here a few times and each of the guards already knows how you look like. So, it's not a good idea!”

”I have an idea, Godfather! No one will find out that it's me!”

”What idea?” Uncle Qiu looked at her suspiciously.
