Qin Xiu Ai gritted her teeth in annoyance. "What do you want?"
"Now… do you still want to covet my husband?" Yao Ling asked smugly.
Qin Xiu Ai could only answer full of unwillingness, "This one doesn't dare."
Yao Ling was satisfied with her answer. "Now… the second question, do you want to damage 'Fu Rong' image?"
Qin Xiu Ai was slightly paler than before. It was like there was no blood running through her veins. Was her scheme so easy to be seen through like this? She just needed reasons to meet with Yao Ying and this order was a perfect reason.
"No… No… We are not trying to damage 'Fu Rong'," she denied.
The old shrew was long afraid and didn't dare to make a sound. Everything was in ruin. She thought a village girl would be easy to be deceived. She had the same thought with her young miss. 'This Yao Ling girl is very smart and they had lost to her.'
Actually, it wasn't that Yao Ling was that smart. She just arrived at "Fu Rong' at the right time. If she were a tad bit late, this matter would have already been blown up by these two clowns. Yao Ling also felt this matter was a bit fishy because she had been on guard lately. It seemed... it was due to her luck that she was able to prevent these two people's charade.
"Wait here," Yao ling told them to stay there.
She slowly went down and asked Xiao Yu, "Does Li Huan already come back?"
Xiao Yu opened her mouth and she was going to answer her question. But before any words could come out, they heard Li Huan's voice from behind them. Both of them turned to the source of the voice.
Li Huan looked at her excitedly and said, "Young Mistress, you are so clever!"
"How is the result?" Yao Ling slightly smiled at his enthusiasm.
"The correct design is actually the previous one. That customer is only looking for trouble," Li Huan explained.
"Did you say anything to them?"
"No. This servant didn't tell them about someone bringing us a new design. I forgot because I was too excited." Li Huan looked down in embarra.s.sment.
"Good!"
Li Huan looked at Yao Ling in confusion. "Good? How come it is good?"
Yao Ling just laughed and answered him, "Ask Xiao Yu! She will explain it to you." Then, she turned to Xiao Yu, "Guard the stairs just like before!"
"Yes, Young Mistress."
Yao Ling left them downstairs and went up to the second level by herself. All of them were still in the same exact position as previously. Yao Ying leisurely sat on his seat, Xiu was holding the old maid tightly, and Qin Xiu Ai was standing while wriggling her handkerchief in distress.
Yao Ying beamed at her. "Dear… you are back."
Yao Ling rolled her eyes. She had just gone for a while and this man welcomed her like she had been gone for a long time. She could only answer, "En."
Yao Ling turned to the young girl and asked, "I already ordered my subordinate to go to your household. Guess what I've found out?"
Qin Xiu Ai felt like fainting in fear. It was over. Everything was over. Their plan was just using the wrong pattern as bait. Later, if she could gain Yao Ying's affection, then they were sure the matter would be dropped. It seemed like she thought too highly of herself. The current Yao Ying didn't even spare a glance at her.
However, she had to deny until the end, "What… what did you find?"
Yao Ling looked at her with an eerie smile, making Qin Xiu Ai shudder in fear. This Yao Ling wasn't easy to bully ah~. Having her as the main wife would probably be a bad idea. It was better if she removed the thought to enter their household.
"Do you want me to go to your house and tell your grandmother about it?" Yao Ling asked smugly. "Or we end it up here and you end up your infatuation to my husband. No more tricks or I will go to your household and wreak havoc!"
Yao Ling looked so domineering and it made Yao Ying look at her in a different light. Was his little wife jealous? His eyes were twinkling with happiness and his tiredness was gone in a second. He couldn't wait for her surprise tonight. His domineering wife looked so s.e.xy in his eyes.
Yao Ling saw that Qin Xiu Ai was scared s.h.i.+tless, but she still didn't answer her. Yao Ling became more and more impatient. "I will count to three. If you still don't give me an answer, I will send the evidence to 'Qin Fu'. Not only that… I will also run and cry on the street and let all people know how you tried to seduce my beloved husband." Yao Ling threatened her with a glint in her eyes.
"One..."
"Two..."
Qin Xiu Ai knew it was time to let go, otherwise, even her future would be ruined. She looked at her nanny and she could also see the pleading eyes. Although she knew her nanny had a rough bearing, she was the one who loved her the most. She couldn't bear to sacrifice her. Qin Xiu Ai closed her eyes for a little while, and after opening them once more, her demeanor changed. Her face became calmer and her eyes became sharper.
"I will end it here. I promise I won't covet your husband ever again," Qin Xiu Ai finally gave her promise.
"How about 'Fu Rong'?" Yao Ling asked again.
"I didn't mean to tarnish the image. I thought I could let the matter rest after…" She trailed off, feeling too embarra.s.sed to say her previous thought. She knew that the couple would understand what she meant and she didn't need to say it out loud.
"Then… we are good. 'Fu Rong' will send the real orders tomorrow and we will never mention this matter ever again." Yao Ling promised them, however, she added, "Unless… you break the agreement."
Qin Xiu Ai could only nod. What else could she say? She was totally lost to the younger woman in front of her. She could only accept her defeat, and judging from her nanny's signal, she ordered her to stop digging her own grave. Otherwise, she would lose everything.
