<span data-offset-key="2npp9-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="f3gen-0-0">Yaoniang looked at Ah Xia’s face, and the other party’s face turned pale in an instant.<span data-offset-key="92ao4-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5euq0-0-0"> Ah Xia didn’t expect that Jin Wang would even tell Yaoniang about this sort of thing. Yaoniang had left the manor in secret and it was even with a coachman who was well acquainted with her.<span data-offset-key="fkaga-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="1sldj-0-0"> Back then, Xiangcao spoke to her a lot about Zhou Sheng and it was obvious that she wanted to matchmake them. She thought to herself that Su Yaoniang was such a hypocrite. Despite her rtionship with His Highness, she still involved herself with a coachman.<span data-offset-key="bq2pm-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="45grl-0-0"> Before she went to Zhaohui Hall, she thought about it in her heart. <span data-offset-key="45grl-1-0">Regardless of whether Su Yaoniang had left the manor in secret for Xiaobao, no man who knew this would be able to bear it<span data-offset-key="45grl-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="4u2nf-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5tgp6-0-0"> Yet Jin Wang not only endured it but even brought her back! As soon as Ah Xia knew that Yaoniang wasing back, she fell into a fright. But she wasn’t <span data-offset-key="5tgp6-1-0">overly<span data-offset-key="5tgp6-2-0"> panicked. His Royal Highness was indifferent by nature. Even if he treated Madam a bit <span data-offset-key="5tgp6-3-0">differently<span data-offset-key="5tgp6-4-0">, it was unlikely he would tell her how he found out she was leaving the manor.<span data-offset-key="f4ts1-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="c56hq-0-0"> She was only a lowly maid. Not someone worthy of notice.<span data-offset-key="qspo-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8u606-0-0"> But Jin Wang actually told Yaoniang about her and <span data-offset-key="8u606-1-0">perhaps<span data-offset-key="8u606-2-0"> even added some other details. <span data-offset-key="8u606-3-0">His words caused Yaoniang, who had always been gentle, to <span data-offset-key="8u606-4-0">drastically<span data-offset-key="8u606-5-0"> change her attitude and even want to throw her away<span data-offset-key="8u606-6-0">.<span data-offset-key="f6p9s-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="djgmr-0-0"> What did His Highness say? Did he call her an evil-hearted person with ill intentions?<span data-offset-key="3uuob-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="j68m-0-0"> She <span data-offset-key="j68m-1-0">just<span data-offset-key="j68m-2-0"> didn’t want His Highness to <span data-offset-key="j68m-3-0">be deceived<span data-offset-key="j68m-4-0">!<span data-offset-key="sjre-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="esmc7-0-0"> In fact, Jin Wang didn’t say much. He only <span data-offset-key="esmc7-1-0">briefly<span data-offset-key="esmc7-2-0"> mentioned this matter. <span data-offset-key="esmc7-3-0">Aftering back, Yaoniang saw how Ah Xia was still in Rongxi Courtyard and understood Jin Wang’s meaning<span data-offset-key="esmc7-4-0">.<span data-offset-key="34gop-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="ciuri-0-0"> She must take care of this person herself.<span data-offset-key="fmphi-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="e0lbv-0-0"> “Leave,” said Yaoniang with a solemn expression.<span data-offset-key="1v41c-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5ddlh-0-0"> Hong Die stepped forward to pull Ah Xia away, but Ah Xia started to struggle.<span data-offset-key="97ul9-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="qcs8-0-0"> “Based on what can you look down on me like this? The one who’s actually harbouring ill intent here should be you! <span data-offset-key="qcs8-1-0">A woman who had <span data-offset-key="qcs8-2-0">been defiled by<span data-offset-key="qcs8-3-0"> others still has an affair with His Highness in secret and <span data-offset-key="qcs8-4-0">is involved<span data-offset-key="qcs8-5-0"> with a coachman on the surface<span data-offset-key="qcs8-6-0">. Zhou Sheng is so infatuated with you that he’s willing to wait for you without even asking anything… Su Yaoniang, Su Yaoniang, a lowly and dirty woman like you should be like a mouse, hiding away in the dark. Why…” <span data-offset-key="foihv-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="a8trc-0-0"> Before Ah Xia could finish the rest of her words, she <span data-offset-key="a8trc-1-0">was gagged by<span data-offset-key="a8trc-2-0"> Yuchan and several others then dragged out. <span data-offset-key="a8trc-3-0">Originally<span data-offset-key="a8trc-4-0">, Yaoniang meant to return her to Old Lady Xue, but now, Ah Xia <span data-offset-key="a8trc-5-0">perhaps<span data-offset-key="a8trc-6-0"> wouldn’t even be able to remain in the manor<span data-offset-key="a8trc-7-0">. Jin Wang had said before that whoever dared to mention this matter would <span data-offset-key="a8trc-8-0">be silenced<span data-offset-key="a8trc-9-0">.<span data-offset-key="2nm34-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5rqev-0-0"> Yuchan looked at Yaoniang anxiously, “Madam, don’t listen to her nonsense…”<span data-offset-key="fv2b3-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="ffb0s-0-0"> Yaoniang’s face was a little pale. She smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine.”<span data-offset-key="dh80f-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="4ri3e-0-0"> She was fine. Despite her sullied body, she <span data-offset-key="4ri3e-1-0">was known<span data-offset-key="4ri3e-2-0"> for seducing Jin Wang in both her lifetimes. The number of times she has <span data-offset-key="4ri3e-3-0">been scolded<span data-offset-key="4ri3e-4-0"> both <span data-offset-key="4ri3e-5-0">openly<span data-offset-key="4ri3e-6-0"> and <span data-offset-key="4ri3e-7-0">covertly<span data-offset-key="4ri3e-8-0"> was countless. <span data-offset-key="4ri3e-9-0">Perhaps<span data-offset-key="4ri3e-10-0"> there were too many fleas that she could no longer feel any itch. She only felt a bit downcast. Ever since she entered the manor after her rebirth, her nerves were high-strung. The lively and cute Ah Xia gave her a lot of joy, but she didn’t know when her heart began to change.<span data-offset-key="c1e28-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3j9ap-0-0"> Until it became unrecognizable.<span data-offset-key="ef-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3tr69-0-0"> Jin Wang walked in from the outside with his eyebrows furrowed. On the way here, he ran into Ah Xia <span data-offset-key="3tr69-1-0">being dragged<span data-offset-key="3tr69-2-0"> away.<span data-offset-key="bfifm-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="59t41-0-0"> He seemed to know what <span data-offset-key="59t41-1-0">just<span data-offset-key="59t41-2-0"> happened. <span data-offset-key="59t41-3-0">Once Yuchan retreated, he pulled Yaoniang to sit down beside him and said, “This prince asked someone to pull out her tongue<span data-offset-key="59t41-4-0">.”<span data-offset-key="e9ks8-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5t1bj-0-0"> “There’s no need. The mouth grows on other people1.”<span data-offset-key="6qpmv-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="b1uaj-0-0"> Jin Wang snorted <span data-offset-key="b1uaj-1-0">coldly<span data-offset-key="b1uaj-2-0">. Here, there was no such thing as a mouth growing on other people. Whoever dared to speak should <span data-offset-key="b1uaj-3-0">be prepared<span data-offset-key="b1uaj-4-0"> to have their tongue plucked out. This way, no one would dare to speak about it in the future.<span data-offset-key="59d45-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="bc3ts-0-0"> But he wouldn’t say this to Yaoniang.<span data-offset-key="7gjdh-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="fnh0m-0-0"> “Your Highness…” Yaoniang said <span data-offset-key="fnh0m-1-0">suddenly<span data-offset-key="fnh0m-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="b03m8-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="87je1-0-0"> Jin Wang looked at her.<span data-offset-key="bbmfh-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2fpt0-0-0"> She smiled, “It’s nothing. <span data-offset-key="2fpt0-1-0">I was about to ask you what you wanted to eat for lunch, but then I realized that since we’ve returned to the manor, there’s no need to worry about what to eat<span data-offset-key="2fpt0-2-0">.”<span data-offset-key="fi3o8-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="c610i-0-0"> Jin Wang did not speak, but his eyes were soft.<span data-offset-key="5uulm-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="ea2he-0-0"> After lunch, the two went back to the room for a nap. They didn’t do anything but <span data-offset-key="ea2he-1-0">simply<span data-offset-key="ea2he-2-0">id there beside each other.<span data-offset-key="709fr-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2it11-0-0"> Jin Wang couldn’t fall asleep nor could Yaoniang. Lying in Jin Wang’s arms, she <span data-offset-key="2it11-1-0">suddenly<span data-offset-key="2it11-2-0"> asked, “Your Highness, does it bother you?”<span data-offset-key="a5et1-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="aeu68-0-0"> Does it bother you? Yaoniang carried this phrase with her for two lifetimes. <span data-offset-key="aeu68-1-0">Although Jin Wang doesn’t know about her previous life, this matter had always been there, at the bottom of her heart<span data-offset-key="aeu68-2-0">. In this lifetime, that incident happened. Jin Wang never mentioned it and Yaoniang also pretended that everything was fine.<span data-offset-key="bi35h-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="37fq-0-0"> But in the end, this wasn’t something that could <span data-offset-key="37fq-1-0">be buried<span data-offset-key="37fq-2-0"> forever.<span data-offset-key="44f5t-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="besml-0-0"> Does it bother you?<span data-offset-key="aj39k-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="ejus-0-0"> Jin Wang waited for this question for a long time. He waited for her to ask this so he could tell her that it didn’t bother him at all. Even though that wasn’t what he actually thought in his heart.<span data-offset-key="dieda-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3mnhv-0-0"> “What’s there to <span data-offset-key="3mnhv-1-0">be bothered<span data-offset-key="3mnhv-2-0"> about? When this prince knew you, you already had that brat. Go to sleep!”<span data-offset-key="8rsum-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="9t6u4-0-0"> Then Yaoniang fell asleep.<span data-offset-key="3sql0-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8rqdi-0-0"> When Yaoniang woke up, Jin Wang had already left.<span data-offset-key="8ls1o-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="4qbgq-0-0"> It was only shenshi2. Hong Chou asked Yaoniang if she wanted to get out of bed, but Yaoniang didn’t want to get up. Instead, she asked for Xiaobao to <span data-offset-key="4qbgq-1-0">be brought<span data-offset-key="4qbgq-2-0"> over.<span data-offset-key="ftlh4-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="e80is-0-0"> The mother and son were the only two people in the bedroom. Yaoniang half leaned on the bed while Xiaobao sat beside her ying with the metal rings. His little finger fiddled with the toy and people who didn’t know his age would assume he knew what he was doing.<span data-offset-key="brpg3-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="co89h-0-0"> “I <span data-offset-key="co89h-1-0">originally<span data-offset-key="co89h-2-0"> said that we’ll leave the manor soon, but now that doesn’t seem possible.” Yaoniang’s expression was a littleplicated. “He’s lonely and domineering by nature, but he’s a man of his word… mother doesn’t ask for anything…except… …”<span data-offset-key="fskfl-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="4u5ai-0-0"> Xiaobao didn’t even raise his head. He looked as if he didn’t understand her at all and he continued to y with his metal rings. In fact, what couldn’t he understand? <span data-offset-key="4u5ai-1-0">His mother was reluctant to part with Jin Wang but she also felt sorry for her son and feared that he’ll feel wronged<span data-offset-key="4u5ai-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="8tadg-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="98rja-0-0"> To be honest, that person wasn’t that bad. At least he was willing to change for his mother.<span data-offset-key="d9dap-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="fpu25-0-0"> Wasn’t it good to make changes?<span data-offset-key="at6h7-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8nvjd-0-0"> Hong Die came in and reported that Side Consort Hu was here.<span data-offset-key="bfd6n-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2s79g-0-0"> Yaoniang wasn’t in the mood to see people right now, much less see Side Consort Hu. So she said that she hadn’t settled down yet after returning and that she would pay her a visit on another day. Using these words, Hong Die turned Side Consort Hu away.<span data-offset-key="6fqb1-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8seo4-0-0"> It waster shown that Yaoniang’s decisiveness allowed her to avoid a disaster because Side Consort Hu died after returning from Rongxi Courtyard<span data-offset-key="8seo4-1-0">.<span data-offset-key="e4ha-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3l3dr-0-0"> Side Consort Hu had died of poison.<span data-offset-key="8dh5r-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="1k2p9-0-0"> This event wasn’t a small matter. The newly-reced servants of Liuchun Pavilion were not reliable. Whenever something went wrong, they would rush to Siyi Courtyard to make a report. After making a lot of noise, everyone in the manor knew…<span data-offset-key="dg0fc-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="7rd33-0-0"> Consort Jin went there <span data-offset-key="7rd33-1-0">personally<span data-offset-key="7rd33-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="ckh3a-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5i7vl-0-0"> Yaoniang was also called in because Side Consort Hu had gone to Rongxi Courtyard right before she died<span data-offset-key="5i7vl-1-0">.<span data-offset-key="8rogm-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="54f83-0-0"> By the time Yaoniang arrived, the various side consorts and concubines were all there. Jin Wang wasn’t there yet, but the consort had already ordered someone to send him the news. Since he hasn’t arrived yet, he must’ve <span data-offset-key="54f83-1-0">been held<span data-offset-key="54f83-2-0"> up by some matter.<span data-offset-key="ehi32-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="eej3a-0-0"> Side Consort Hu was a master after all, so she <span data-offset-key="eej3a-1-0">was ced<span data-offset-key="eej3a-2-0"> on the bed after her death. Yaoniang only nced at her from a distance and didn’t dare to look again.<span data-offset-key="fpek7-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2mke8-0-0"> Side Consort Hu had bled from all seven orifices. Terrifying was the only way to describe it.<span data-offset-key="7m4d3-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="c3qap-0-0"> Yaoniang felt a little ufortable in her heart. For some reason, she thought of herself in her previous life.<span data-offset-key="e04is-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="f2dnb-0-0"> She was also poisoned to death in herst life. Although she couldn’t see what she had looked like, she must’ve been no better than Side Consort Hu.<span data-offset-key="8aug9-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="56vhi-0-0"> The consort led people to sit in the main hall, Yaoniang also followed them out of the bedroom.<span data-offset-key="2m-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="37gbp-0-0"> At first, she couldn’t understand why so many people came after Side Consort Hu died. Shouldn’t this be a taboo matter? <span data-offset-key="37gbp-1-0">Only after hearing Side Consort Xu’s intention to say a few words, did she understand the consort’s meaning<span data-offset-key="37gbp-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="bnk20-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="e134a-0-0"> She was doing this to avoid suspicion.<span data-offset-key="6unr2-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3cr3-0-0"> Since Jin Wang wasn’t here, if Consort Jin came forward to deal with this incident on her own, it would only lead to suspicion in the future<span data-offset-key="3cr3-1-0">. There were many people present at the moment. <span data-offset-key="3cr3-2-0">With only a few words, Side Consort Xu had already caused the crowd to <span data-offset-key="3cr3-3-0">inevitably<span data-offset-key="3cr3-4-0"> link Side Consort Hu’s death with Consort Jin<span data-offset-key="3cr3-5-0">.<span data-offset-key="dkl2j-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="bku4i-0-0"> “Side Consort Xu, if you can’t speak <span data-offset-key="bku4i-1-0">properly<span data-offset-key="bku4i-2-0">, shut your mouth.”
