Chapter 83: Suspicious of an Old Friend! (3k)
Four Seas Restaurant, Yao Qing’s private courtyard.
Main Hall.
Linglong was high at the top, with a stern face and eyes as cold as ice.
Yao Qing stood at the bottom of the hall in a hasty manner.
Originally, she was Linglong’s elder, but at this moment, she was like a junior who had made a mistake and was too fearful to raise her head.
She stole a glance at Linglong and said with a dry smile, “Linglong, I haven’t seen you all these years, you’ve grown into a big girl and are getting prettier and prettier.”
Linglong did not leave Yao Qing hanging for too long.
She ignored Yao Qing’s currying favor and said, “Do you know the crime?”
Yao Qing opened his mouth, the words came to his lips, but he couldn’t speak.
Yao Qing and the male lead’s mother sisters were the commoners of the Yao Clan’s side branch, nameless and without a name, and were abandoned outcasts in other clans.
The Yao clan is very skillful in calculating, in their eyes everything is valuable, including the concubine’s abandoned son.
Shortly after birth, the women of the Yao Clan’s concubine would be sent to the Yao Clan’s warm room, which was specifically used to train women, to learn the art of seduction from a young age.
After learning them, the Yao Clan would send them out as gifts, exchanging various benefits with other powers.
The fate of the Yao Qing sisters was originally given away as gifts as well, until one day, her sister Yao Su was suddenly knocked unconscious and taken away.
When Yao Su woke up, she found herself in a broken temple, having been broken, and her yuan yin qi had been harvested.
For Yao, without her yin, they have no use for her, and the only way is to be sold.
What’s worse, Yao Su hadn’t been back for long when she realized she was pregnant.
Yao Su drank a lot of abortifacient pills, but the fetus’s vitality was incredibly tough, no matter what, it could not be aborted.
Finally, Yao Su had no choice but to give birth to the child.
Yao Qing was already understanding at that time.
She knew how miserable it would be if her sister’s pregnancy was discovered.
So she helped her sister to hide the baby secretly.
But paper can’t hold fire after all.
Yao’s people eventually found out about Yao Su’s baby.
The Yao family head was furious, not believing Yao Qing’s explanation that her sister had been taken away, and directly concluded that Yao Su had made peace with someone, and wanted to send her to the snake cave to endure the torture of being bitten by ten thousand snakes.
Just then, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce came.
No one knew why the people from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared.
No one knew what kind of deal the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had made with the Yao Clan’s family head either.
Since then, my sister left the Yao Clan to join the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and became a steward of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in a certain place.
At a young age, Yao Jing was taken away by a monk and was never heard from again.
Yao Qing followed her sister at that time, but her identity was not separated from the Yao Clan, she was still technically a member of the Yao Clan.
Linglong was so smart.
She only took one look at Yao Qing’s expression and immediately guessed what had happened.
“You have a match too?”
The cold color faded from Linglong’s face and was replaced by a deep helplessness.
She sighed and said, “Aunt Su back then have you forgotten?”
Hearing this, Yao Qing was a bit surprised, “You know about your sister’s captivity back then?”
Linglong couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “Can you think before you speak? I wasn’t even born when Aunt Su was taken away, are you saying I knew about her captivity? I am talking about after the incident!”
Yao Qing was a bit embarrassed, “You know, I’ve never been too smart. Moreover, your expression just now was too cold, I thought you were going to kill me, I was so scared that my brain wouldn’t turn even more.”
Linglong’s face is unable to hold back her annoyance, “Are you really born from the same mother as Aunt Su? Why is Aunt Su so smart, but you are stupid like this?”
Yao Qing disliked it the most when people said she was stupid.
Hearing Linglong’s words, she said unconvincingly, “Your parents also have several children, are they all as smart as you?”
Linglong was suddenly furious!
She glared at Yao Qing and sneered, “You are very stubborn, aren’t you? Since you are so stubborn, then go be stubborn with those poisonous snakes in the Snake Cave and see whether your mouth is hard or their teeth are hard!”
Hearing the words Snake Cave, Yao Qing instantly wimped out.
She looked at Linglong and curtly said, “Linglong, Auntie knows that you are the smartest person in Yao Clan, you definitely have a way to help Auntie, right?”
Linglong ignored her and picked up the teacup on the table to drink tea.
Seeing this, Yao Qing hurriedly took the teapot and served beside her, Linglong just finished drinking and immediately filled it for her.
Linglong was rendered temperless by her and could only say: ”If you want me to help you, at least let me know what’s really going on, right? Who is that adulterer of yours? Where is his home, what does he do, and what is his income? I can only help you game on the family side if I have enough information!”
Yao Qing glanced at Linglong and tried in a small voice, “If I say I was forced, do you believe me?”
“Do you believe it yourself?” Linglong asked back with a look of contempt.
She glared at Yao Qing and poked her without any concealment, “From just now when you mentioned that lover of yours, the corners of your mouth have gone up a total of thirteen times! And that expression on your face, you can’t wait to fall for someone else, you’re telling me that you were forced?”
When Yao Qing heard this, she hurriedly covered her face with her hands and muttered in a low voice, “I’m telling the truth, if you don’t believe me, you can go out and ask around!”
Hmm?
Linglong’s eyes narrowed at once.
“You mean, many people outside know about you?”
“The Immortal Cultivation Conference is just around the corner, and there are not a few Yao’s children in Shengjing City.”
“They know about your identity and that you broke your body, and the family head’s side is also unmoved.”
Speaking here, Linglong looked Yao Qing up and down once and said with a smile, “It looks like you sold yourself for a good price!”
Yao Qing’s face flushed red.
Linglong continued, “Yuan Yin female private matches have always been a big taboo in the family, the family side surprisingly had no ripples this time, even the always ruthless family head didn’t lash out .”
Speaking here, Linglong looked at Yao Qing and suddenly said, “Is that match of yours someone from the Zhao Clan, the royal family of Da Xia?”
Yao Qing completely froze.
She looked at Linglong and said incredulously, “You you you, how do you know?”
Linglong skimmed her mouth, “I didn’t know, but now I know.”
She suddenly said with interest, “Since that lover of yours is a member of the Imperial Zhao Clan, your life is considered saved. Tell me, who is that person, I’ll see how much energy he has. Those old things haven’t made a lot of gains using the Yuan Yin woman all these years, take this opportunity and I’ll help you peel a layer of their skin off!”
Yao Qing sniffed and suddenly squirmed a bit, “He’s not my date yet.”
Linglong’s face changed: “You’ve really fallen for him?”
Yao Qing hastily shook her head, “It’s not flattering, I was really forced.”
Speaking here, she looked a bit unnatural, “It’s just that something happened later, and our relationship is a bit special.”
Yao Qing finished and added, “Although he forced me in the beginning, I can feel that he has me in his heart. This time when he went out of town he specifically took me with him, he also specifically sent someone to protect me in the dark, and when he saw that I was injured he immediately came to save me again.”
Yao Qing said at the end, blushed a little and whispered, “He also said that I am his first woman.”
Linglong “…”
She looked at Yao Qing with a complicated expression, the corners of her mouth twitching as if she was jerking.
She felt that one shouldn’t . At least not stupid like this!
The other party had used force and she still looked sweet.
This is not being sold but still help count the money.
“Alright!” Linglong raised her hand to interrupt Yao Qing who was caught in fantasy.
She asked impatiently, “Who the hell is that person! Hurry up and say it, and leave as soon as you finish! After spending a lot of time with you, I’m really worried that I’ll become stupid too!”
Yao Qing didn’t take it personally and said softly, “That person is the Sixth Prince, Zhao Yi”
Eh?
When Linglong heard this name, a silhouette suddenly flashed in her mind.
Yao Qing thought that Linglong didn’t know who Zhao Yi was and added, “It’s the current Crown Prince!”
Sure enough, it was him!
Zhao Yi’s incredibly handsome face in Linglong’s mind gradually became clearer.
Gulp!
She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
She understood.
No wonder Yao Qing looked so sweet even though she was being used forcibly.
In her place, she would be fine.
It’s not necessarily who suffers in this matter!
“Ahem!”
Linglong swallowed her saliva and coughed lightly.
She was just about to speak when the boy under Yao Qing quickly came over to report.
“Shopkeeper, there is another person outside the door, he said he is your nephew, do you want to see him?”
“Jing’er is here?”
Yao Qing said to the boy, “Quick, quickly invite the person over.”
Then, she turned her head to Linglong and said, “Jing’er do you still remember? When sister and I hid him in the warm room, you guys even played together!”
“Yao Jing?” Linglong nodded, “I have an impression, but I can’t remember the appearance.”
Yao Qing laughed a little, “Jing is almost the same as when he was a child, you will recognize him when you see you guys in a while!”
As he spoke, the boy brought a man with a black cloak on his head in from outside.
When the male lead saw Linglong in the main hall, his body violently trembled!
