Chapter 292 - Rong Qiu (1/2)

Yao Ling looked at Aunt Yue in confusion and blurted out, ”Bigger conspiracy? What do you mean?” The more she heard, the more confused she became.

Aunt Yue gave a little hint, ”Your father is indeed still alive but he ȧssumes another identity...” She added inwardly, 'His identity would complicate the matter further!'

Yao Ling gasped in shock. ”Another identity?” Her curiosity was piqued more and more.

Aunt Yue nodded and she waited for Yao Ling to give her an answer.

Yao Ling pondered over the matter, but she still chose to know her parents' whereabouts. She had gone so far, how could she easily give up about it? Besides, she also didn't have it easy before. It was just that her luck had gotten better after she met Yao Ying. That was all! She had already involved herself with Xiao Fang's matter which was also a big conspiracy, so who cared if she added one more?

Life was hard, to begin with. It was also full of up and down! She could bear with it.

At least, she had Yao Ying by her side. When she thought of her husband, subconsciously she smiled tenderly.

Yao Ling nodded her head and answered resolutely, ”I'm willing to be involved. I know my mother wants me to stay oblivious and be happy, but I can't. Even though I lead a good life, I will still feel that something is missing if I don't know my own birth parents. I... I need to know my root!”

Aunt Yue nodded, feeling happy with her choice. She was proud of her granddaughter who didn't feel afraid of hardship. Yao Ling didn't try to run away, but instead, she chose to persist in finding her own roots. She might be young, but she was a strong one. Her stubborn nature really resembled her father.

She didn't forget to ask, ”What about your husband? Do you think he will agree with your choice?” She wanted to gauge the relationship between the couple by asking that question. She didn't really want to pry about it, but she just wanted to know whether that young man treated her granddaughter well.

Yao Ling waved one of her hands leisurely. ”He will agree with everything that I choose,” Yao Ling answered confidently. She understood Yao Ying's personality best and he would understand why she chose the hard path. They had been through thick and thin together after they got married, so she didn't doubt her own choice at all.

”Then... I will be glad to tell you everything...” Aunt Yue said with a smile.

She started to tell her everything from the start. Aunt Yue was betrothed to Yao Ling's grandfather from a young age. However, it was purely political and there was no love between them. Aunt Yue's ability was inherited from her predecessors and the clan leader would need it for the benefits of the clan.

However, Yao Ling's grandfather wasn't really a good man. Yes, he was a good leader, but his heart was easily swayed by beautiful women. That was why he had so many concubines, hence it made Aunt Yue's heart turned cold. She still did her job as a shaman of their clan and because of that, Yao Ling's grandfather didn't dare to act overboard in front of Aunt Yue.

He respected her, but he only touched her so he could have a successor. That was how she was pregnant with Yao Ling's father on her stomach. She didn't really expect the clan leader's love, instead, she could get a pure love from her own child. In her mind, there was nothing purer than the love of a child. Thus, she spent her time more with her son and didn't care about how the clan leader spent his time.
