"Have we received other news from my father?" Yao Ling asked worriedly while walking back and forth inside her room.

"Not yet..." Xiao Yu shook her head helplessly. Her young mistress had been asking about this matter for more than ten times in a span of one s.h.i.+chen. She didn't know how to make her calm down and could only look worriedly at her.

There was no news coming in for the past two days and it made Yao Ling feel worried even more ah~! Especially, because her father had never missed sending her news each day before. She was afraid that something went wrong there and she found out too late about it...

After all, she could do nothing to help them because they were too far away. If she wanted to inquire about the matter, it would also take quite some time.

Yao Ying said softly, "I'm sure he will be fine!" He understood her worry but he also felt worried about the baby's wellbeing, especially because Yao Ling also lost some sleep ever since two days ago.

"But, there's no news! How could you say that he's fine?!" Yao Ling said in a loud voice. After a little while, she felt guilty for raising her voice because she knew that Yao Ying was just trying to a.s.sure her that everything would be fine. "Sorry..." She meekly apologized to Yao Ying.

"It's fine..." Yao Ying understood. "Come here..." Yao Ying waved his hand so that she would come to him.

Yao Ling came over to him slowly. Yao Ying pulled her down and let her sit in his lap which made Xiao Yu turned her head away while blus.h.i.+ng. Her masters were always intimate so it didn't surprise her anymore but she still felt embarra.s.sed to see their interaction.

"What are you doing?" Yao Ling was also feeling shy, after all, they were doing this thing in the broad daylight. She pinched his waist so that he could let her go, but the man was too strong, so it was a useless struggle.

"Come on! Relax your body! Remember the baby, okay?" He said gently while rocking her back and forth.

Yao Ling nodded her head and took a deep breath --- sometimes, she forgot that she needed to think about the baby in her womb as well. She felt very selfish because people had reminded her over and over again, but... how could she remove the fear from her heart?

When she started to feel better, Feng came in with a piece of important news. He seemed to be in a hurry so Xiu let him in right away after they got their boss's permission. "What happened?" Yao Ying asked in a serious manner.

"Young Master, a few people came to us and you should see them as soon as possible..." Feng said hurriedly.

Yao Ying raised one of his eyebrows calmly and asked, "Who are they? Have you checked their backgrounds yet?"

Feng said, "It will be better if you don't bring them into w.a.n.g Fu. We should meet them in our secret place..." He tried to give a hint that this matter was really serious. Feng didn't dare to say too much just in case someone heard their conversations because the couple decided not to tell w.a.n.g Luo Hai about this matter first --- until everything had been cleared.

Yao Ying asked, "What do you mean?" After thinking, Yao Ying asked in a hurry while standing up, "Are they the people that came from the Qin Kingdom?!" He didn't forget to put Yao Ling down gently so that she wouldn't fall down due to his sudden movement.

"Yes..." Feng answered while bobbing his head up and down.

Yao Ling understood what they meant and she quickly asked Feng, "Are they... them?"

"Yes, Young Mistress..." Feng answered once again.

She sighed in relief, knowing that there was finally a piece of good news. Feng made the right decision... She couldn't involve w.a.n.g Fu in this matter because the consequences were very dangerous. Even though they had only become a part of this family for a little while, they cherished their relations.h.i.+p.

How could they repay their kindness by pulling them into a deep conspiracy?

Without a second thought, they quickly went to their own place. Yao Ying especially bought the place so that he could manage this kind of secret matter separately from w.a.n.g Fu. Feng had placed those people in separate rooms and let the freshen up so that Yao Ying could meet them one by one.

Somehow, Yao Ying felt nervous. He knew that the one who came was that man... Ying Ying's father. He had inquired about their conditions and everything that had happened at the Qin Kingdom so he already understood about the big picture.

Feng had told them on the way that Rong Qiu was fine and he didn't come back along with the party --- he decided to stay at the Qin Kingdom to search for Su Wan's whereabouts carefully. Rong Qiu knew that they could handle Yao Ying's past together so he decided not to meddle in into their problem.

Rong Qiu didn't dare to send any news because the Qin Emperor had increased the security of their kingdom after he found out that the people in the prison had been switched. They hunted down the perpetrator and captured everyone that looked suspicious. Every means of communication had been searched carefully and it would be dangerous for Rong Qiu as well.

He didn't want to take a risk.

Fortunately, Ying Ying's father had been smuggled out successfully at that time --- along with his two daughters. Once the security had been tightened, they had already pa.s.sed the borders and it would be hard for the Qin Emperor to search for them. Even if the Qin Emperor wanted to find them in the Shu Kingdom, he could only do it secretly. After all, he didn't want to let the other kingdoms to know that he had lost important prisoners under his watch.

It would be too embarra.s.sing!

Yao Ling sighed in relief when she found out about her father's condition.

Yao Ying asked her, "Do you still want to come with me?" He was feeling worried... What if his past was really bad and it scared Yao Ling away?

Suddenly, he was feeling nervous.

"I'm fine..." Yao Ling said with a smile. "I am not that weak."

He had no choice but to bring her along with him.

"What about Ying Ying?" Yao Ling asked Feng.

"She's safe and sound..." Feng answered politely and Yao Ling nodded her head, feeling satisfied with his answer.

Ying Ying was actually in a dilemma back then --- should she sacrifice her sister to gain Yao Ling's trust for a better future or should she betray Yao Ling? Fortunately, she had made the right decision and chosen to believe in Yao Ling.

Ying Ying felt grateful that Yao Ling wasn't actually that cruel because she was still willing to save her sister, even though the latter's arrangement was a bit different. The three of them were confused but they didn't dare to say anything or ask any questions.

They chose to believe in Ying Ying's new master once again.
