205 Lin Zhou: Han Xiang 5 (2/2)

After that, they were parting ways. Xiao Yu asked in a small voice, ”Young Mistress, is it really okay to make the princess angry? Won't she target you too next time?”

Yao Ling laughed. ”Don't worry about this insignificance matter... Even if she's angry at me, what can she possibly do? She's only alone here. If she wants to do something, she needs to get ahold of the one behind her. With Han Er right beside her, will she dare to find help? I don't think so...”

”Ah... that's true...” Xiao Yu nodded in understanding.

Yao Ling smiled once again. ”Besides... if she has any ugly past... her misdeed will be found out soon.” Yao Ling had obtained Lin Jian's permission to gain the truth and he wouldn't interfere because of his personal feeling. He also said if Han Xiang was indeed a wicked woman, this would serve as her punishment --- he did this on the behalf of his mother in order to discipline her.

Xiao Yu nodded in understanding. She looked left and right, then whispered, ”Besides... General Hu has listened to Young Mistress' persuasion and he looks at Xiao Fang in a positive light. I don't think he will be easily influenced by others anymore.”

Yao Ling shook her head. ”I think the general has a bit weak mind even though he's honest. That's why I prevent him from meeting Han Xiang for the time being --- until everything clears up. It will be safer.”

”Yes, Young Mistress,” Xiao Yu agreed.

When Yao Ling was smiling leisurely, Xiao Fang accompanied Han Xiang in her room. The latter was very angry. She asked Xiao Fang in a sharp voice, ”Xiao Fang ah~ where did you find that hateful woman?”

”Who?” Xiao Fang pretended to be oblivious.

Han Xiang went into her white lotus mode and weakly cried, ”Who else? The woman just now... the physician...” She toned down her sharp voice to evoke some pity from Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang could only helplessly say, ”I only knew her by accident. Her husband helped me once and I saw her medical skill when she saved someone. General Hu didn't want to be treated by a well-known physician to cover up his identity. So... I could only suggest this woman. I also don't really know her that well...”

”How could... she call me a mistress?” Han Xiang pouted.

”Don't mind her... she's just spouting nonsense...” Xiao Fang tried to persuade her. Xiao Fang shook her head inwardly. How come she didn't find out sooner how selfish Han Xiang was? Probably... back then... she was too composed when acting in the palace. After having a bitter experience, it seemed like Han Xiang couldn't hide her true self.

Xiao Fang could only listen to Han Xiang's complaint until it was late at night. She really counted the day until the woman's aunt was found because hearing the complaint all the time made her feel dizzy. She paid attention to Han Xiang's unique smell, but it was still the same as usual and she didn't find out anything weird. If Han Yi didn't pay real close attention, no one would realize that the smell was gone for a little while.

Xiao Fang was puzzled because she remembered that Han Xiang said that she had already had this unique smell since she was a baby. She also mentioned that her smell always stuck to her and not even once the unique smell was gone. So, what's with the sudden change?

She hoped that the woman's aunt would be able to tell them about this...
