324 Do You Believe In Those Rumors? (2/2)

Yao Ying sighed and warned her, ”Don't keep looking back! People would feel suspicious if you do that...”

Yao Ling knew that Yao Ying was right, but she just couldn't stay still.

After losing her grandmother right after she had just met her, it seemed like Yao Ling's mentality was affected --- she became more paranoid than before. He knew that this was only the after effect, however, if she continued staying this way... it wouldn't do her any good! Yao Ying decided to pay more attention to this part and let her be checked by a physician when they arrived at Nei Huang.

Even though Yao Ling was good at medicine, she couldn't diagnose herself ah~! Especially, when it was about her own mentality.

Xiao Fang said softly, ”Yao Ling, you should believe in my godfather. After all, he was an official once. I believe that he has the capability to protect himself. Besides, my father is a good judgment of characters and he keeps saying that godfather is one of the best and resourceful people that he has ever met!”

Xiao Fang tried to assure Yao Ling and at the same time... cheer her up. Besides, what she had said wasn't a lie. Uncle Qiu used to have a lot of influences in the capital. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to achieve it ah~! Uncle Qiu started to build his career along with her father, thus, she believed that the one who was successful was Rong Qiu, not the real Uncle Qiu.

Uncle Qiu might already have a position before, but it was a low one. Being able to climb to the top wasn't an easy feat because he had to have the talent and also a clever mind. Those were the reasons why Xiao Fang trusted her godfather's ability.

Yao Ling nodded her head, knowing that it wasn't good to keep worrying about her father's safety --- it led people to believe that she was doubtful of her father's ability. Even though she had a lot of worries, she decided to keep it inwardly.

”I believe you,” Yao Ling said softly. After saying that, she didn't dare to look back anymore. She chose to pray inwardly and hoped that they would be able to meet soon.

Yao Ying could only sigh and patted her back softly, trying to comfort her.

Rong Qiu noticed that someone had been following his movement and he knew that the spy must be sent by Bai Bing Wen. He didn't worry about it, after all, everything that should be done secretly had already been done. Even if they tried to find a fault from him, they wouldn't get any.

He also let Ah Zhao stay by his side so that they knew that Ah Zhao was also harmless. Because of this, the spy gave a report that there was nothing wrong from Uncle Qiu which made Bai Bing Wen feel relieved.

He ordered the spy to retreat and it made Rong Qiu laugh cheerfully when he felt that the spy's presence had gone --- it meant that he was able to fool him. He asked Ah Zhao, ”Everything has been prepared well, right?”

Ah Zhao nodded his head. ”Honestly, Zhuo Li has done a great job and it's very easy for me to do the follow-up. Even though Master has fired several servants and seemingly tried to stop the rumor from going on, however, the esteemed guest appearance brought a new wave of conversation.”

”Oh... tell me more about it,” Rong Qiu asked.

”They believe that the rumor is actually true and Master tried to help to cover up the esteemed guest to cover it up,” Ah Zhao explained.

Rong Qiu nodded in satisfaction while smiling. This was what he wanted to achieve... the goal. If it seemed like he collided with the esteemed guest, Hong Wen would be trying hard to uncover the truth. After all, Hong Wen had never tried to cover up his dislike towards Rong Qiu.
