268 So... It Was Indeed The Truth (2/2)

Yao Ying believed that his wife should have calculated about it too and wouldn't do anything rash.

Yao Ling knew that Uncle Qiu must have a say in Bao Bei's marriage, thus, she asked softly, ”Uncle Qiu... have you ever thought to let Bao Bei get married? She must have been lonely to be caged here all the time...” When she said the last part, she felt a bit sad. No matter how beautiful a cage was, it would still restrain Bao Bei's freedom.

Uncle Qiu laughed. ”Once in a while, I will mount her and take her for a ride. She's not always cooped up in here. I always try to lessen her suffering as much as I could. As for the marriage...” Uncle Qiu sighed. ”I also want this little lady to have her own family, but the decision should come from above...” He explained softly while looking at Bao Bei with love.

The meaning was clear... he needed the Han Emperor's permission. No matter what the Han Emperor was still the big boss ah~!

”What if there's an accident?” Yao Ling asked curiously.

”What do you mean?” Uncle Qiu was taken aback due to the question and he didn't quite understand what kind of accident that she meant.

”If somehow Bao Bei finds a horse that she likes and she's pregnant with a baby...” Yao Ling asked with an excited face.

Uncle Qiu just thought that it was a question out of mere curiosity and a joke on Yao Ling's part, hence he answered with a cheerful laugh with the same joking manner, ”If that really happens, I will be the one who is happy ah~! The Han Emperor won't be able to blame me, after all, Bao Bei is the one who chooses her own husband.”

Actually, Uncle Qiu was also just kidding. If that really happened randomly, the Han Emperor would become angry even though there was nothing the Han Emperor could do to prevent the mating process. The blame would surely be thrown to his underlings. However... he didn't know who would be blamed under those circumstances --- but he was quite sure that one of them would be him ah~! After all, he was its direct caretaker!

”Uncle Qiu, when do you usually take her for a ride?” Yao Ling asked with a wide grin. She looked so innocent that people wouldn't guess that she was actually cooking up a naughty plan in her mind.

”Why? Do you want to ride together with us?” Uncle Qiu asked while smiling at Yao Ling. He really liked this cute girl and it seemed like she was a good friend for Xiao Fang.

Yao Ling nodded excitedly. ”Yes!”

”Then, let's go out tomorrow!” Uncle Qiu offered. Bao Bei's schedule was supposed to be two days from now, but he could adjust it for Xiao Fang's friends. Besides, he also knew that Bao Bei would be happy to have an extra day out.

Lin Jian looked at Yao Ling in confusion, after all, he knew that she didn't like to ride a horse. Besides, she wasn't really good at it! He wanted to say something, but looking at the calm look on Yao Ying's face, he just swallowed his words. If her husband didn't feel worried, why should he? So, he just let the matter go and didn't think much about it.

Uncle Qiu didn't know that because he answered with joking, his beloved Bao Bei would end up pregnant for real! Poor Uncle Qiu!

After they felt satisfied, they ate lunch together with Uncle Qiu. There were so many things that Xiao Fang wanted to tell him, but she didn't know where to start. She didn't know whether Uncle Qiu knew that she was really an adopted daughter or not.
