Chapter 451 - The Connection Between The Two
Once everything had calmed down and Madam Wang’s father had given up the thought to reconcile with Wang Luo Hai, Wang Fu became peaceful once again. Yao Ying and Yao Ling had better treatment from others because they knew that they couldn’t underestimate the pair’s position in the manor.
Their day became more peaceful...
There was still no news about Su Wan so Rong Qiu stayed in the capital calmly, but he didn’t stop searching for any news about her. However, there seemed to be no trace of her in the Shu Kingdom which made everyone feel baffled. Where did she actually vanish to?
Rong Qiu was very sure that she wasn’t in the Han Kingdom as well. His son’s people there had given him the result of their investigation and after she ran away back then, there was no trace of her in the Han Kingdom.
She had left the Han Kingdom and never come back.
There was only one place left that was hard for him to trace --- the Qin Kingdom. Yao Ying had already promised him that he would ask for A Thousand Words’ help and it made his anxious self become calmer because he knew how influential they were. They still had two more free favors, besides, if they didn’t have any favor left, they would still try to exchange other things for their help.
It was an important matter to search for Yao Ling’s mother.
Su Wan’s matter hadn’t had any conclusion yet, but at least, their people had sent them words about the esteemed guest’s identity which made Yao Ying feel surprised by his importance. After Yao Ying had received the news, they decided to hold a meeting at Rong Qiu’s place about it. They didn’t want to involve Wang Luo Hai and General Lin in this matter because this involved Yao Ying’s secret power.
Rong Qiu asked curiously, "Have you finally found out about that esteemed guest’s identity?"
Yao Ying nodded his head seriously. He was in a bad mood when he knew the truth about the other party! The man actually had a lot of aliases but one identity had stood out more than all of the others, making him feel a bit agitated because he was a very powerful and cruel person.
Looking at his serious expression, everyone in the room knew that this person seemed to be an important figure in his kingdom.
Yao Ying answered, "His name is Bai Bing Wen..."
Rong Qiu was the only one in the room who had heard Bai Bing Wen’s name. After all, he used to be an official so that name was familiar to him. He was stunned... Bai Bing Wen?!
"What kind of status he has in the Qin Kingdom?" Yao Ling asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
"He’s a prince regent in the Qin Kingdom and quite influential. However, he has a weird personality and quite temperamental --- even the Qin Emperor is feeling wary of him. However, he doesn’t have enough power to fight the man so he could only endure in silence..." Yao Ying answered them with a complicated expression pasted on his face. The man was too dangerous!
"Why is he in the Han Kingdom then?" Yao Ling asked in surprise. "Is it that easy to leave his post?!" With the Qin Emperor watching each of his moves, how could he move around so easily like that? She had heard that the esteemed guest had been living at Crescent Lake for quite some time. What kind of excuse that he would make to the Qin Emperor?
Rong Qiu sighed. "To have such an enemy is quite dangerous. Fortunately, we don’t have any interaction with him after the Han Kingdom’s fiasco... Someone who can leave his post easily must have been so powerful or... he has a body double..."
In Rong Qiu’s mind, there was also a probability that the esteemed guest probably also had permission from the Qin Emperor to go to the Han Kingdom, after all, this was for the benefits of their kingdom. However, he didn’t think that it was an important thing to be investigated because there was no possibility that they would be entangled with each other anymore.
Yao Ling nodded her head, feeling that Rong Qiu’s words were quite reasonable. As long as she avoided that man, it should be fine. Not many people knew that she had gotten the secret power anyway.
"Why should we investigate that man anyway?" Xiao Fang asked in confusion. She didn’t think that the man would do something to them whatsoever... Wasn’t it a useless move?
Lin Jian sighed because he knew that Xiao Fang could be slow sometimes. "Of course, it’s because he’s targeting Aunt Yue and there’s a chance that he would hunt Yao Ling as well! I’m pretty sure that he wants Yao Ling’s power to himself..."
Xiao Fang didn’t see how Lin Jian sigh --- seemingly a bit tired to explain things to her, otherwise, she would certainly get angry at him for doing that. Even though Lin Jian liked her, it didn’t mean he was blind to her weakness. Yes, he had received her weakness but there was a time when he felt annoyed as well --- just a tiny little bit of annoyance, that was all!
The others knew that Xiao Fang wasn’t really good at scheming or thinking about things like this so they didn’t mind her questions once in a while, but they understood Lin Jian’s feelings though.
They still didn’t know about the fact that their life had been entangled with the esteemed guest from the very beginning and he was the one behind the abortion drugs that almost made Yao Ling lose her baby. Hei Yue hadn’t given them any news about that man, after all, Bai Bing Wen’s people had erased their track perfectly well.
Yao Ying and Yao Ling would never guess the connection between the two because Bai Bing Wen had given her a ’Wu’ token so they had thought that ’the Bai Bing Wen who was entrance by Yao Ling’s beauty’ was someone with a surname Wu.
If they knew that they had been accidentally being misled by the clues that they had, they would certainly feel frustrated. After all, because of that, they couldn’t find out the connection between the two. Otherwise, they would be able to defend themselves earlier.
Fortunately, Yao Ying was a jealous man so he also told people to check on the ’Wu’ token, otherwise, they would find out about it a bit too late
