Chapter 470 - Yao Ling VS Ying Ying (3) (1/2)

Yao Ling wasn't stupid so she naturally understood what Xiao Fang meant. She also didn't want to be entangled with this woman but she didn't have a choice. However, she was still feeling thankful for Xiao Fang's care.

”Is she your real sister?” Yao Ling asked, trying to ask about the sister's identity. This was a better method than interrogating this woman with force --- saving her from the messy trouble.

”Yes, she's my real sister...” Ying Ying said in a low voice --- she told them the truth so far. If she wanted them to help, they needed to know her sister's condition first. If it wasn't because of this man's sudden disappearance, they wouldn't be in this predicament --- in a way, she wanted to get revenge as well!

”Tell me her crime first and I will think about whether I could help you or not...” Yao Ling said. ”I don't know you and your background so it's justified for me to be a bit more careful, right?”

”This...” Ying Ying became slightly hesitant. Her words were reasonable and Ying Ying couldn't refute that.

The noblewoman that came after Yao Ling talked at this moment, ”If your sister is being wronged, why are you so afraid to tell us loud and clear the reason why? Or... the crime is quite heavy, to begin with?” She didn't like her fellow noblewoman being pushed around like this by that commoner despite feeling lucky that she wasn't the one who was being hounded by this commoner.

What did this lowly woman take them for? People who were easily being fooled?! She didn't realize that she felt like this due to Yao Ling's cleverness --- if it was her, she would have been duped from the beginning.

Ying Ying bit her lower lip and nodded her head. ”But... she was being framed! I swear!” She couldn't do something drastic by kowtowing so she could only lower her help in sadness, however, if she told them the crime right away, they wouldn't help her for sure.

”So, it's really a heavy crime!”

”Maybe this girl is not a good woman as well!”

”She tried to make the lady protect her even though she knows that she would bring trouble to the lady... It shows how selfish she was!”

”Why should people help her out of nowhere? They are strangers ah~!”

”Yes ah~! This woman is really cunning...”

The woman who was jealous just now said to her husband, ”See?! If you bring her home and try to help her, we will be in big trouble!” The man could only stay quiet on the side, feeling lucky that he didn't try to help her just now.

Humans were selfish just like that --- they only thought for their best interests.

Ying Ying knew her image had been ruined at this moment --- at least, she wasn't actually a person of this kingdom so the woman didn't really feel ashamed. Once she left this place, she wouldn't meet these people anymore... Her goal was only to find that man and bring him home!

”I'm not... I'm really not...” Ying Ying shook her head weakly and cried softly. ”I'm forced to do this as well... Please believe me... I'm really cornered... Please... Help me...”

Yao Ling pretended to be kind and asked, ”Then, tell me... What kind of crime that your sister have been charged with? Everything depends on that matter.”

”Tre... Treason...” Ying Ying said in a low voice in between her sobs --- only a few people closest to her were able to hear her words.

Even though only a few people heard, the news spread like a wildfire. The onlookers talked to each other in surprise. They had the same thoughts... Why did this woman want to involve unrelated people to that crime? Even though they were from another kingdom, they knew how severe that crime was.
