Chapter 302 - What Should I Do? (1/2)

”He's still busy with yesterday's matter,” Lin Jian explained. ”I think he has the highest authority here, thus, the hidden guards reported to him.”

”Oh...” Yao Ling nodded her head in agreement. That explained everything, but she wondered how he felt about the missing Aunt Yue... would he feel something weird or different?

Yao Ling sighed when she thought that way, so she decided to ask something else to ease her mind a little bit. ”What about Bao Bei? Is she fine?” She remembered that Bao Bei was her mother's favorite pet.

The trio was dumbfounded by her sudden question --- why did she ask about Bao Bei out of nowhere? Was that really necessary?

”Er... she should be fine,” Xiu answered when Yao Ying's gaze landed on him. ”The fire only burned the inner courtyard of the forbidden place, while Bao Bei's cage is outside.” He didn't check on Bao Bei ah~! Who knew that the sacred pet was important for the young mistress.

Yao Ling nodded in satisfaction and felt relieved when she knew that Bao Bei was fine. Yao Ying was surprised by Yao Ling's behavior and he guessed something about it. He wondered if she still wanted to become Bao Bei's mother-in-law ah~! Was this really the right time to think about Bao Bao's matter ah~?!

”How do you plan to break the news to godfather?” Xiao Fang asked curiously.

Yao Ling sighed. ”I'm not so sure either...” If she directly told him everything, could he accept it? If she directly undid the magic, would it mean that she enforced her own belief to him? No matter what... this was his life. Shouldn't he be the one who made the decision? Even though she was his daughter... She didn't have the right to make a decision for him because she was afraid that he would feel betrayed...

Yao Ling massaged her forehead and suddenly this matter didn't seem to look as simple as before. 'Father... Mother ah~! What should I do?' She thought to herself. No matter what, Yao Ling was only fifteen and she didn't have that many experiences regarding this matter.

When she was going to ask the others one again, there was a ruckus outside of their courtyard. ”What happened?” Yao Ling asked in confusion and she could only swallow her questions back down once again.

Yao Ying furrowed his eyebrows. ”It seems like they are searching for Aunt Yue everywhere,” he explained. They had seen this coming, thus, the trio didn't feel surprised anymore --- unlike, Yao Ling who slept through the whole night and oblivious to everything at that time.

Luckily, the trio had changed their clothes once they went back and they didn't forget to burn the clothes that they had worn the previous night. It was better to be safe than sorry later.

Yao Ling said to Yao Ying, ”Let me make myself look presentable first!” She still wore last night's clothing and felt sticky all over her body. It seemed like she had been having a long dream and kept sweating the whole night, making her feel uncomfortable.

Yao Ying understood what she meant, so he went out first with the others, leaving Yao Ling alone with Xiao Yu. Lin Jian and Xiao Fang decided to go back to their own room secretly through the back door. No matter how free the Han people were, it wouldn't be good for a man to enter another man's wife bedroom. It was just that the quartet usually did it in secret.

Yao Ying mouthed, ”Don't forget to pretend!”

Yao Ling looked at him in confusion, but oh well... when she fainted, they told people that she was sick --- maybe that was what he was talking about.

By the time she went out, she heard Yao Ying's angry voice, ”I told you to wait for a little while! My wife is unwell!”
