489 A Rare Gem (2/2)

Li Guang was surprised when he heard everything that his master had gone through. Yao Ying was almost dead back then and the one who saved him was Yao Ling. He was hopeful when he thought that his master must have done this out of duty... out of his gratefulness.

However, he listened to the rest of the story and couldn't help but change his mind. He admitted that the woman wasn't only beautiful but also smart. Her mind wasn't glued to the inner courtyard matter but she was hardworking and could help Yao Ying deal with a lot of matter --- she was a rare woman to be found.

A rare gem.

On the other hand, his daughter had only been raised to think about managing the inner courtyard matter and four art skills. He understood that this woman was several times better than his own daughter. Li Guang could only sigh in regret and he needed to tell his daughter all about this and hope that she would forget the master.

Li Guang couldn't say anything, thus, he nodded his head in silence. ”I understand... But one more question, what about her identity? Didn't you say that Mistress had found her maternal family...? The real one... Will it clash with our interest?” Li Guang asked in a low voice.

Yao Ying and Yao Ling could see that there was no hint of previous wariness from Li Guang's expression. It seemed like he had started to respect Yao Ling a little bit --- a small improvement but it was better than nothing.

That was the only thing that Yao Ying hadn't told Li Guang about. ”She's the daughter of an official from the Han Kingdom...” They had decided to use the identity of Uncle Qiu's daughter --- the real one and Yao Ling's newfound brother also took her as his own sister, so there shouldn't be any problem with it.

”Han Kingdom...” Li Guang muttered to himself, not knowing what to think about this matter.

Even Li Guang was speechless when he heard that. Wasn't their identity far too complicated? It involved the three kingdoms, in a way. The past of these two peasants was far too different than their supposed-to-be simple life. There were so many complicated matters that they needed to handle.

Yao Ling said, ”I won't let my identity hinder Yao Ying. Don't worry! No matter what, I will support him with all I have...”

Yao Ying smiled softly and patted Yao Ling's hand when he heard that. ”See? You can trust her... She won't do anything harmful to us...”

Li Guang nodded his head and bowed politely, ”Yes, Master.”

”So... Can you tell me now? Who wanted to kill me back then?” Yao Ying asked.

He wasn't even a prince or something like that, so what kind of conspiracy that he was involved in?

”Then, I will tell you the matter slowly, Master...” Li Guang answered.

”Go on...” Yao Ying urged him to talk as soon as possible.
