His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

"I’m not feeling guilty at all," Feng Yong Rui answered with a laugh. Indeed, he told the truth... His heart felt lighter after everything was successful just like what he had planned for so long. He just hoped that he would really die, unfortunately, he was ’still’ in critical condition. The investigation was held by his own people --- he would probably need to find another scapegoat as well.

Rong Qiu,"..."

’You arrogant bastard! Really good, huh! I would never comfort you again!’ Rong Qiu thought to himself in annoyance. ’This ungrateful old fox!’ Rong Qiu pouted and continued scolding Feng Yong Rui inside his mind. He was too lazy to bother with the other anymore.

Feng Yong Rui squinted his eyes and said, "I know what’s inside your mind!" He could feel Rong Qiu’s indignant feeling from miles away.

"What?" Rong Qiu asked in an indifferent tone. How could he know what he thought ah~! Who did he think he was? A person with a hidden power like Yao Ling? That’s bullshit! Rong Qiu merely looked at him and looked away like a scorned wife.

In the end, they had been friends for so long and Lu Yi Feng was able to recite everything that was inside Rong Qiu’s’ mind and the summary was exactly like what Rong Qiu was thinking about. Rong Qiu could only gape at Feng Yong Rui in surprise while the latter was looking at Rong Qiu smugly.

Yao Ying and Yao Ling looked at each other. Somehow, they found the relationship between the two elders really funny and made them smile, feeling that those two adults were so endearing. It reminded them of Wang Luo Hai and General Lin ah~!

If the four of them were able to meet each other, they might be able to become good friends. After all, all of them were so childish but at the same time, cherishing their relationship really well. This made them quite miss their life at Wang Fu, after all, they had spent so much time in the Han Kingdom these past weeks. Even though Wang Fu was a new home for them both, they already treated Wang Fu as their real home as well.

After this matter had been concluded and everything went well as they planned, it was time for them to go back to the Shu Kingdom. They felt that they had already fulfilled their promise to help Xiao Fang to get revenge. They knew that after this, the only thing that they needed was to go back home and find out Yao Ying’s real identity.

After they finished their talk here, they would persuade Rong Qiu to come with them and ask Xiao Fang permission to go back. If the latter wanted, they would invite her to come along with them as well --- just take it as a sightseeing journey. Besides, if she was here and Lin Jian went back with them, how could they improve their relationship ah~?

"Father, everything will be fine, right?" Xiao Fang asked worriedly. After all, she also learned a bit about the history of the Han Kingdom, everyone who acted as a regent generally was condemned as a person who was greedy of power and described as an evil person. She even shuddered when her teacher was telling her about the things back then.

Who would have thought that her father became one as well?

Her father was taking this position with so many difficulties, so... wouldn’t he appear in history as the bad guy as well? She was so afraid of that! However, Xiao Fang didn’t want his father to have that bad image. In her heart, Feng Yong Rui was the best! Besides, he had good reasons for doing this!

Xiao Fang explained her worry clearly, which actually Qi Hao’s worry as well. Feng Yong Rui sighed and answered, "Do you know why the history was written that way?"

"Of course, because it’s the truth!" Xiao Fang answered. In the end, the history book must have written about real events, otherwise, why people bothered to write one?

Feng Yong Rui shook his head. "No, you are wrong..."

"How?" Qi Hao was the one who asked the question. "I don’t think that Xiao Fang is wrong... not only that, but I don’t want you to choose the same path as those people in the history book --- an evil person." He talked even more bluntly that Xiao Fang.

Feng Yong Rui nodded, receiving Qi Hao’s advice with an open mind so he didn’t get angry, but instead, he was feeling grateful for his children’s care. "Let me tell you, I believe not all of those regents were bad people..."

"If some of them were good, why didn’t people write the glorious think that they had done?" Xiao Fang asked curiously and also, a bit skeptical.

"In the end, history would always be written by the winners. All of those regents were defeated by the person who would be the next Emperor, right? As Emperors, they would need to uphold their good image inside the history book, after all, it would be passed down to the next generations. If those regents were good and they revolted, it would still the same as doing a heavy crime. How could they want to bear to be condemned as a criminal..." Feng Yong Rui explained and everyone thought for a little while, before thinking that it was true and quite possible.

"Indeed, the winner could trample over the loser easily..." Yao Ling murmured her agreement. She didn’t know that these words could become a motivation for her in the future when someone from Yao Ying’s past appeared in their life.

The others nodded their heads after hearing Yao Ling’s words.

Xiao Fang said, "Then... Father, you have to become the winner!" She wasn’t stupid enough not to know that her father would become a target with such a high position --- their enemies would certainly covet this title as well.

"I will..." Feng Yong Rui answered. "I didn’t even want to stay in this position for too long. After everything was stabilized, I would give up this position and let the new Emperor take over. Besides, we own several family businesses, even without becoming an official, our family could afford a lavish life..."

Feng Yong Rui’s meaning was clear --- they could live freely in the future once their revenge was done. Sometimes, being in the middle of conspiracies and politics for so long was really tiring. Feng Yong Rui felt that he was already old enough and wanted to live a peaceful life as well.

When Xiao Fang heard Feng Yong Rui’s assurance, she sighed in relief. Everything would be fine then... She felt that everything was so surreal, but at least, they had gotten their happy ending.

Feng Yong Rui remembered something and he asked, "By the way, don’t you feel that something isn’t right back there?"

"What do you mean?" Rong Qiu asked curiously. He didn’t really know the full scene so he didn’t understand what Feng Yong Rui meant.

Feng Yong Rui explained which scene that he felt confused about. After that, he asked the others, "Who do you think choked the wicked concubine back there?"

Yao Ying and Yao Ling, "..."
