His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

The shadow guard finally came in and the mistress knew that she had missed the chance to kill that maidservant. She really needed to think of a way out at this moment! The more distressed she was, the happier Yao Ling was. When people weren’t in their calmest minds, they tended to make a mistake and she couldn’t wait for that to happen.

The mistress felt like Yao Ling was mocking her with her gaze and smile. ’Does she know something?’ She thought to herself. It made her feel nervous, after all, she didn’t want Wang Luo Hai to hate her. However, she shook the thoughts away --- what kind of things a village girl would understand?!

The mistress mocked Yao Ling back with her gaze...

Yao Ling saw her mocking gaze and it infuriated her, thus, she smirked at the mistress. She was feeling like taunting her which made the mistress’ heart beat faster. Did she really know something?! The more Yao Ling behaved this way, the more nervous she was.

The mistress really wanted to stab Yao Ling with her needle as well, but she knew that this wasn’t the right time yet. Even if Yao Ling perished right at this moment and she felt happy, she would be killed as the evildoer as well so she wouldn’t get any benefits at all!

She gritted her teeth in fear... No! She should stop thinking about killing Yao Ling!

Yao Ying found the mistress’ expression truly comical, he wondered how Yao Ling was able to hold back her laughter ah~?! It was like they were watching a slapstick comedy. He shook his head inwardly but he paid close attention to them --- just in case, the mistress tried to do something funny to Yao Ying.

Sometimes, desperate people could do crazy action. It was better if he got ready before something happened.

Once the shadow guard came in, the mistress had no choice but to think of a new plan. The more nervous she was, the more her head became blank --- she couldn’t find a sound plan at all, until her eyes landed on Yao Ling and her eyes sparkled with happiness.

Didn’t everyone always like her? If something happened to her... they would be in a panic, right?!

When her gaze landed at Yao Ling, the mistress smirked to herself, then, she pretended to fall down. She deliberately fell onto Yao Ling and pushed her down. She wanted to make a commotion, so people would look at Yao Ling --- instead of her. She didn’t think that the plan would be effective because she didn’t know about Yao Ling’s pregnancy and this was merely a gamble for her.

What would she lose if she tried this plan? Nothing!

"Argh!" Yao Ling said loudly when she felt that she was being pushed. She didn’t think that the mistress was bold enough to do this to her! She quickly covered up her stomach with both of her hands, trying to protect it from the impact.

People quickly looked at her and jumped up in surprise when they saw that Yao Ling was going to fall down. Wang Luo Hai and the matriarch quickly stood up and tried to save her as well but they were too far away from her and could helplessly look at her falling down.

The mistress wanted to get a chance to kill the maidservant, so when all of this happened, she quickly pierced the needle to the maidservant’s fatal point. The latter’s eyes were widened in surprise and she looked at the mistress in hatred. She didn’t think that the mistress was such a cruel person!

However, before she could say anything else, she was already losing her breath. The maidservant fell down in a thud, dead. This was covered by the commotion that was created by saving Yao Ling!

When Yao Ling was falling down, Yao Ying quickly saved her before she landed on the ground in a thud. His heart almost stopped beating due to fear! They could lose the baby ah~! He wondered why did people keep targeting at their baby? However, he was pretty sure that this woman didn’t know that Yao Ling was pregnant!

Yao Ying realized that she did it for a chance to do something to the maidservant, even if he knew, he didn’t care --- the most important thing was Yao Ling’s safety!

His gaze landed at the mistress and the latter pretended to be worried, however, they could see that the maidservant had already died. ’Damn!’ He cursed inwardly.

Yao Ying used his eyes to talk to Wang Luo Hai. The latter took a look at where Yao Ying’s gaze landed for a brief moment and he could see that the maidservant had died. He gritted his teeth and told his shadow guard to handle the matter.

Yao Ying knew that Wang Luo Hai would take care of that matter so he sighed in relief. He asked Yao Ling softly, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine..." She said softly. Her heart was beating faster but she quickly tried to calm herself down. She quickly looked down and when there was no blood trail, she sighed in relief.

Because of this, she looked at the mistress in hatred! If she wanted to cook up some nasty plans, Yao Ling wouldn’t even care --- unless it was like just now! Her plan involved her and her baby! She quickly cried and asked pitifully, "Why... Why did you push me?" There was a hint of ruthlessness in Yao Ling’s eyes because she was beyond angry at the moment, however, she covered it with her weak look.

She wanted to look as pitiful as possible.

Others might not know, but the matriarch and Wang Luo Hai understood what Yao Ling had implied.

The mistress paled when she heard this. She thought that this village girl was usually behaving really well --- a simple sorry would suffice so she would let her go after accidentally pushing her! Why did she turn it into such a big deal?! It was like she wanted to kill her baby or something like that!

The mistress could only grit her teeth and looked down guiltily, "I’m sorry... It was just an accident! I slipped just now..." She could only appease Yao Ling for now.

It was embarrassing for her to apologize to a younger person but what else she could do? She saw how Wang Luo Hai and the matriarch looked at her with a sharp gaze... Why?! Why did he care so much about this stupid girl?!

The matriarch looked down and saw that there was nothing down there that could make her slip. Was she deliberately pushing Yao Ling? What was the benefit for her?! She knocked her cane to the ground angrily and yelled, "How could you be so careless?!"

The mistress was surprised because even the matriarch who was always doted on her was scolding her. The woman didn’t even really fall to the ground! Her husband saved her!! Even though she was being resentful, she could only swallow her grievance.

She couldn’t help but say, "She is fine, right? Besides, it was just an accident! Why are you cornering me because of such a simple matter! Yao Ling is still young, I’m sure she’s in good condition. You are in good condition, right... Yao Ling?"

The mistress tried to put all this to Yao Ling.

Yao Ling didn’t answer her but she looked down in defeat. She knew that she had to give the mistress a face, after all... she was...
