His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Yao Ling shook her head and answered, "I don’t think so..."

Yao Ying, "..." He was speechless.

Yao Ying thought to himself, ’If she is not pregnant... then what’s the big deal whether she drank the medicine or not?’ He really didn’t know what to say ah~!

"It’s not one month yet ah~! I have to see whether my monthly friend will come in a timely manner or not... and also, whether my pulse changes or not," Yao Ling explained.

"Oh..." Yao Ying said. He didn’t know about this thing, so he could only that simple word. He believed that in this matter Yao Ling was the expert, thus, he believed in her.

"Now... what should we do?" Yao Ying asked.

Yao Ling sighed. "What else? We should just tell them that I’m not pregnant... Truth to be told, we don’t break any promise, right?" Yao Ling asked softly, trying to justify themselves. After all, General Lin didn’t say that they weren’t allowed to make love --- only shouldn’t get pregnant.

Yao Ying nodded his head, but then asked, "What if you are pregnant?"

"When we come back, just hope that they will forget about it..." Yao Ling could only think of that while laughing. Let the old men really guess at that time! She would just pretend that they didn’t know when the exact time the baby was conceived.

Yao Ying shrugged it off while laughing. "True ah~! We can think about this later... This time, we indeed don’t know whether you are pregnant or not. However, I’m certain that Father will be frustrated."

Yao Ling laughed once again. "Of course! He will be the one who lost the bet."

Thus, Yao Ying wrote two letters with the same content and sent them back to both old men. He only wrote two words, ’Mei You’ [= means do not have]. They didn’t have any good news to share.

After that, the letters were marked as urgent and received by the old men in less than two weeks.

When General Lin read the letter, he laughed out loud and felt smug, because he had won the bet! He nodded in satisfaction because Yao Ying didn’t break his promise. What a good boy! He really wanted to see what kind of face that Wang Luo Hai would make when they met.

On the other hand, Wang Luo Hai almost vomited blood when he read the letter! He was feeling a hundred percent sure that Yao Ling would get pregnant on the way to Lin Zhou because he had asked his mother to give them the ’secret tonic’ before their departure ah~! It was a secret recipe that he had gotten with so many efforts just to win the bet!

But... he sighed sadly.

It didn’t go as he planned!

He crushed the letter in frustration. ’Argh!’ He yelled inwardly. Wang Luo Hai already thought such a good plan and yet, he failed in the end. He really wanted to pull his hair ah~!

Wang Luo Hai knew that he would have to see Lin Zheng’s annoying smug face the next day! Whenever he thought about that, he really wanted to punch something!

He lost the bet!

----------------------

"Da Ge, do you think that this get-up will work?" Xiao Fang asked softly while looking at her outfits. She didn’t think that they would be able to fool the guards with these outfits, thus, she was feeling nervous. She kept tugging at her clothes because of that.

"It should be fine," Qi Hao answered. "It’s lucky that you always wear a veil when you went out, so no one knows your real appearance. Otherwise, it will be hard to smuggle you into the capital." Xiao Fang was beautiful and once people saw her, they wouldn’t be able to forget her face ah~! If she was famous because of that... how could she hide from the people’s view?

"Why do Yao Ling and the others have to wear a disguise too? Does the Han Emperor know something about them?" Xiao Fang asked curiously. In her mind, they weren’t from the Han Kingdom, so how could the Han Emperor know them? Indeed, Xiao Fang was still too naive.

"This... I’m not sure. However, you told everyone that they were your guests back at Crescent Lake and I’m afraid that the Emperor has heard about it, Therefore, it’s better to be safe than sorry later..." Qi Hao admitted. He fully knew that the Han Emperor must have known about it --- he had eyes and ears everywhere...

This time, Qi Hao also wore a disguise along with them so that people wouldn’t feel suspicious. After Xiao Fang had arrived safely at their house, he would go outside and go back to the capital with his real identity once more.

"Da Ge... will they really believe us when I am in this get-up?" Lin Jian asked bitterly. From all of them, he wore the worst disguise ah~! Because Qi Hao didn’t correct him, Lin Jian kept happily calling him Da Ge.

Qi Hao smirked inwardly. ’Who told you to target my precious little sister, huh? I won’t let you go easily,’ Qi Hao thought to himself.

Yao Ling and Yao Ying didn’t really change their clothes, but she put a small pillow on her stomach so it would like she was seven to eight months pregnant. Yao Ying was still acting as her husband just like usual. They changed their appearance with make-up so they looked like different people --- their beautiful and handsome appearance turned into ugly, even they couldn’t bear to look at themselves in the mirror.

Xiao Yu and Xiu would also become a couple and changed their appearance. Zhuo Li pretended to be Xiu’s brother, so they would go in a group of three. Xiao Yu was worried about Yao Ling but because there was another arrangement, she finally relented. However, Xiao Yu and Xiu kept flirting which made Zhuo Li blanched --- he was really annoyed!

They decided to separate themselves when going into the capital just in case the Han Emperor gave a precaution to search for a group of people with a certain number.

Qi Hao, Xiao Fang, and Lin Jian were supposed to be in one group. However, because Qi Hao kept seeing Lin Jian’s affectionate gaze towards his sister and it annoyed him, Qi Hao didn’t let Xiao Fang be in one group with Lin Jian, so he changed the order at the last minute.

Xiao Fang became Yao Ling’s maid and her clothes were the worst of all of them, but Xiao Fang didn’t complain --- unlike her usual spoiled self and it made Qi Hao feel satisfied.

The other groups already left and it only left Lin Jian with Qi Hao who would go last. Lin Jian called Qi Hao once again, "Da Ge..."

Qi Hao shuddered when he listened to Lin Jian’s voice --- the man didn’t stop whining since the beginning! If Lin Jian knew his thought, he would vomit blood! What man wouldn’t whine if he was dressed like this? This time, he became a couple with Qi Hao.

Yes, a couple!!

Qi Hao made his face look extra beautiful and it was in contrast with Lin Jian who disguised as a girl! Yes, as a girl! That was the reason why Lin Jian was feeling uncomfortable. He was tall and muscular, while his skin was a bit tan... he didn’t know why he should dress up as a woman. If he knew Qi Hao’s real reason, he would certainly throw up blood!

Honestly, Lin Jian looked really funny. If he wore Shu clothing, it would be better because the clothing would cover up most of his body... However, he wore Han Clothing ah~!

"Da Ge... I really look so ugly in this outfit. Look at you! You also can’t bear to see me! What more other people ah~!" Lin Jian really wanted to cry for the first time since he was a little boy!
