201 Lin Zhou: Han Xiang 1 (1/2)

Yao Ling saw that her goal had been achieved, she smiled to herself inwardly and decided to go out. After all, there was a boundary between man and woman. It wasn't good for her to stay too long inside the room with General Hu, even though Xiao Yu was accompanying her all along. Besides, she knew that her petty husband would be jealous.

She supposed that General Hu was a bit too honest because he was easy to be manipulated, however, at least... he had a mind of his own. Once he got ahold of the truth, he would get justice for Xiao Fang. Yao Ling really hoped that she didn't make a mistake by betting Xiao Fang's future on this honest general.

Yao Ling already got the information about this general beforehand from the information that Lin Jian had been gathered, so she had a quite good understanding of the general's personalities. It was all actually a mind game...

Yao Ling deliberately didn't introduce herself or ask for General Hu's name because she didn't want to look desperate to get to know him. She treated him like an ordinary patient and when Han Yi called him General Hu, she pretended that she didn't hear anything all. General Hu was in too much pain to realize this point.

When Yao Ling was treating General Hu, Xiao Fang was already on Han Xiang's side. She became a chatterbox just like usual as not to make Han Xiang feel suspicious. She told what she had been doing --- of course, excluding the trio's part. In their friendship, she was usually the one who did the most talking but lately Han Xiang indeed only talked about her resentful life.

Xiao Fang finally decided to ask about Han Xiang's wellbeing, after the latter finished taking a bath. ”How are you doing?” She looked at Han Xiang with a sympathetic face, knowing that the latter had been through a lot at this point.

Han Xiang glanced at her and bit her lower lips, ”I'm not fine!” She whined then she jumped onto Xiao Fang, hugging her. Xiao Fang was taken aback because she had never seen this side of her. Her usual calmness was gone. ”They even killed all of my maidservants! Heartless bandits! I could only rely on myself --- even General Hu is hurt. He still has his subordinates to attend to him, but I have none!”

Han Xiang felt resentful because of the tiring journey. She thought that Xiao Fang would save her but until this point, she said nothing about it. General Hu was wounded and it was the perfect time for Xiao Fang to help her! It seemed like she had to put some ideas into Xiao Fang's head so the latter would try to help her with her own initiative.

Han Xiang cried, ”I already told you before how I didn't want to get married. However, we both know there was nothing that we could do. After all, this marriage is decreed by the Emperor. I didn't want to involve you, but how come you are here? Are you going to save me?”

Han Xiang's face changed into happiness when she said the last past. She asked with full of hope, ”I know you are the only one who treats me the best! Thank you for saving me, Xiao Fang!”

Han Xiang didn't give Xiao Fang any chance of refusal by directly thanking her first. Han Xiang knew Xiao Fang's personalities best --- she always said yes to her plea, so she was pretty sure that the woman wouldn't reject her.

Xiao Fang started to feel more and more bewildered. If previously Yao Ling or Han Yi didn't talk some senses into her, she would of course... without regard saving Han Xiang. However, she had her own family to consider. Yao Ling was an outsider but she understood this point, how come Han Xiang didn't realize about it too?
