Chapter 398 Yao Lings Identity 1
"Don’t bring a calamity or havoc to our family..." Rong Heng warned with a heavy tone while he was looking at Yao Ling with a stern face.
Yao Ling and Rong Qiu stunned. What did he mean by that?! They didn’t fully understand. If it was referring to Yao Ling’s power, it was impossible! After all, Rong Qiu didn’t tell him about it.
Rong Qiu stood up and wanted to scold Rong Heng for talking nonsense, however, Yao Ling stopped him just in time by tugging his sleeves softly. Yao Ling didn’t want them to have any conflict after recognizing each other as brother and sister. She shook his head, telling Rong Qiu not to meddle in this and the later could only swallow his words back and sit down once again.
His children were already this big and they should be able to resolve this problem by themselves, right? Although he was thinking that way, he still looked at them worriedly.
"Da Ge... What do you mean?" Yao Ling asked softly. She felt a bit offended but she wanted to know Rong Heng’s reasons for saying that first before she judged him as well! She didn’t want to start a fight with him out of nowhere.
"Just a precaution! A lot of people tried to take advantage of the relationship between our father and them so that they could gain benefits because of our father’s position as an official --- for example, abusing their authorities for their own personal benefits. This doesn’t only happen once or twice and that’s the reason I become vigilant. It’s better if I tell you all of this beforehand so there will be no hard feelings in the future if something like that happens and I punish you. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but honestly, this is the first time I meet you and I don’t understand your characters very well. However... we can slowly get to know each other in the future..." Rong Heng explained his point of view with clear eyes --- he really meant what he said.
Yao Ling paid attention to his words and sighed in relief. It seemed like it wasn’t because he was questioning her characters, but instead, he was just warning her because he was worried about Rong Qiu. It made sense... because she heard that he was so overprotective over his beloved ones.
"I will pay attention to it, Da Ge," Yao Ling answered obediently and it made Rong Heng like her even more. "I promise that I’m not going to take advantage of our father and I will also control the people around me, but honestly, I don’t think I have the chance to do that as well even if I want to..." She said with a lovely regretful smile.
"Why?" Rong Heng furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Why do you think you will have no chance to do that?" He found that something was wrong.
Yao Ling took a glance at Rong Qiu before saying in a stutter, "I... I... plan to go back to the Shu Kingdom when everything has been settled here. Our initial plan is when Xiao Fang’s matter has been solved... After all, I already got married and I should follow my husband wherever he goes ah~!"
By this time, Yao Ling already knew that Rong Qiu hadn’t told him about this and also his plan to follow her to the Shu Kingdom. She finally wondered whether Rong Qiu would really go with her or not. She realized that he basically had his own life here as well, even though he used another person’s identity and she felt sad because of it... Could he really leave with her?
Rong Heng frowned.
"If you accept the new identity as my sister and my father’s daughter, shouldn’t you continue staying here?" Rong Heng asked. Somehow, he didn’t want his newfound sister to leave. No matter what, she had become Rong Fu’s Da Xiao Jie [= Big Miss of the Rong Family].
He only heard about the big picture and thought that Yao Ying and Yao Ling were orphans, so they should be able to leave anything behind at the Shu Kingdom and stay here with them, right? Why did she need to go? In his heart, he rejected the idea of them leaving.
Rong Heng glanced at Rong Qiu and wondered whether he wanted to leave with Yao Ling or not...
Yao Ling felt surprised that Rong Heng actually wanted her to stay --- did he really accept her? She thought that he was still being skeptical about her. Yao Ling helplessly shook her head. "I can’t... What about my husband?" Yao Ling asked him back. "My husband has been taken in as Wang Luo Hai’s legal son and they already recognized each other as father and son, so of course, we have to go back home..." Yao Ling trailed off.
Rong Heng was surprised. This Wang Luo Hai... he, of course, had heard about him and remembered that he was General Lin’s best friend. They were from different kingdom so he paid attention to the biggest enemy of their kingdom, General Lin. Although his rank wasn’t that high, he never lost a battle at all --- if it wasn’t his hatred to his own Emperor for giving away his wife, he would already become a great general!
As far as he could remember, this Wang Luo Hai wasn’t a simple person. His mind became complicated when he found out about this... This made their relationship with Yao Ling turned even more complex.
Both of their kingdoms were doomed because of the shitty Monarch, but they were still enemies ah~!
"Father... if you recognized Yao Ling as a daughter and she has become the enemies’ daughter-in-law... won’t it bring you trouble at the court?" Rong Heng asked casually.
Rong Qiu pondered over a moment. "It would be troublesome if I directly acknowledged her because it would mean that Yao Ling could only become a Shu Daughter [= Daughter of the Concubine}..."
Yao Ling laughed and answered cheerfully, "I’m fine with anything... as long as I can proudly call you as my father..."
"No... No... I can’t do that..." Rong Qiu shook his head.
"I have an idea..." Rong Heng hesitantly said.
