409 Going Back Home

Once Yao Ying woke up, he still didn't remember anything. However, there were a few blurry images inside his mind that he couldn't make out and it was clearer than before. He sighed, knowing that he might be able to recover his memories if this continued on.

A bad thing?

Or a good thing?

It was still unknown to them.

Yao Ying honestly told Yao Ling and the latter nodded her head in understanding. "I hope that you will remember about it soon, so we could deal with it as soon as possible if there are some brewing troubles and in the end, we can stay together forever..." Yao Ling told him her mind.

She wanted them to have their happily ever after...

Yao Ying nodded his head. "I know..." He smiled at her, trying to reassure her. "Forever..." He said resolutely.

Yao Ling smiled back. "Well... Let's go back to Wang Fu first, we have been away for too long, it's time to clean up the messy things there... Besides, we can't do anything without the spies' report anyway..." Yao Ling made a decision. She didn't want to change their destination just because of the interlude --- she felt safer if they stayed at Wang Fu, at the very least, they would have full protection there.

They hadn't forgotten about the person who had sent assassins to kill them when they were on their way to the Han Kingdom. They needed to unravel the culprit --- Zhuo Li might have known who the woman was because he had met her, however, he didn't know her name... Thus, they were quite curious about that person. Besides, they actually wanted to keep it as a surprise.

Feng was the one who dealt with that woman by reminding her from time to time about the failed assassination and her dead maidservant. After all, he was the only man that could be trusted in this matter.

"Ling-er, what is your plan regarding your father?" Yao Ying asked curiously. They only talked about bringing him along, but not the full plan.

Yao Ling pondered over a little while. "I plan to buy a decent resident for my father. Don't you remember about the money that we had gotten back then? When you did the Mi Hui's mission? I want to buy a good one with that money... Who knows that that money would come in handy so soon?"

Yao Ying nodded his head. He wasn't a stingy person when he had a lot of money, besides, he took Rong Qiu as his own father as well. Yao Ying didn't want him to lose face back at An Yang because it would certainly affect Yao Ling as well. Actually, they were quite underestimating Rong Qiu because of how humble he lived back in the Han Kingdom. Rong Qiu had a lot of money as well and buying a good house was an easy feat for him.

"Sure," Yao Ying answered.

"Can we prepare it beforehand? However, you need to do it secretly..." Yao Ling begged him with pitiful eyes. She didn't want to be the center of attention.

"Sure thing... If you want to be sure, we can send Zhuo Li to go back first and let him contact Feng... Let Feng do all the work! I think he's more familiar with this kind of thing," Yao Ying said.

Yao Ling murmured her agreement, after all, it sounded like a good idea.

"Don't forget to buy a few servants to clean up the courtyard as well! Everything should be ready by the time we arrived there," Yao Ling said.

"Alright..." Yao Ying helplessly answered.

"Er... what about my mother?" Yao Ling asked in a low voice. She got a headache because of so many things that they should deal with! She almost forgot about this matter.

Yao Ying sighed. "We need to find out the people who were involved at the Bei Yue's tragedy back then. My hunch says that she is being imprisoned by those people... I'm sure that sooner or later your father will remember something about it. He would become the biggest clue if he recalls all of his past memories. I have also sent people to carefully investigate this matter, but judging from the look of it, it will be best if I start with the esteemed guest's identity..."

Rong Qiu remembered his past but not in detail, after all, it had been so long...

From Rong Qiu's story about what happened back at Crescent Lake, it seemed like the esteemed guest was very interested in Aunt Yue's matter. That was the reason why Yao Ying was investigating that man.

Yao Ling nodded her head in agreement. "Hopefully, we can find something out as soon as possible..."

They didn't know that the esteemed guest, Bai Bing Wen was actually the same person who was targeting Yao Ling because of his so-called fickle love and weird possessiveness. On the other hand, Bai Bing Wen hadn't found out that the woman that he fell in love at first sight... was actually Aunt Yue's descendant.

It was called a twisted fate.

Their lives were intertwined with each other since the very beginning.

The part of their journey that started from Lin Zhou until they arrived at An Yang was very smooth --- no assassinations whatsoever and they could enjoy their journey as well. They weren't in a hurry because they still needed to think about Yao Ling's current fragile condition. Fortunately, Yao Ling had stopped vomiting ever since the abortion fiasco happened --- it might be because the baby had a gut feeling that he or she should stop bothering his or her mommy so that he or she could survive.

Feng picked them up at the An Yang City's gate because he had received the news that his young master and young mistress would arrive soon. He had brought the new servant that he hired especially for Rong Qiu and the new servant would be the one who brought Rong Qiu to the new house. He had calculated everything...

Yao Ling couldn't send Rong Qiu by herself because she needed to pay respect to Wang Luo Hai along with Yao Ying --- after all, she had already married into the Wang Family. It wouldn't make sense if she went back to her maternal side of the family first after such a long honeymoon trip, no matter what the reason was.

She didn't want to make it difficult for Yao Ying and let people criticize him, after all, their position at Wang Fu was still quite fragile --- especially because their grandmother was very strict with the rules.

Fortunately, Rong Qiu didn't mind because he understood the couple's predicament as well. He obediently followed the new servant to the new house. It was near Wang Fu because the new house was located on the same street. They would drop Rong Qiu first because they passed through the new house.

Lin Jian didn't wait for them and once they stepped their feet inside the familiar city, he decided to go home first and pay his respect to his father. Because Yao Ling didn't want to involve Xiao Fang in their family struggle, she let her stay at Rong Fu --- that was how they called the new house. Xiao Fang was no stranger to Rong Qiu so she didn't mind, besides, she could meet up with Yao Ling anytime she wanted just by going to Fu Rong or visit Wang Fu.

When Yao Ying and Yao Ling arrived in front of Wang Fu, they looked at the familiar house and somehow, they missed their home... Yes, Wang Fu had become their home...
