She was used to being audacious, so she took the opportunity to sneak out of the house. She knew where Su Yaoniang worked. As long as she saw Su Yaoniang, she could make the other party agree to let her enter the residence. As long as she could enter the residence, she could see His Highness, Jin Wang.

Yan’er had suffered a lot along the way but she could still be counted as clever. She didn’t neglect any opportunity to take money from Mrs. Li and Yao Cheng ever since she was a child, so over the years, she had accumulated a lot of savings. Relying on the money in hand, she hired a carriage to take her to the neighbourhood. After asking around for the exact location of Jin Wang Mansion, she finally arrived but was frightened by its majesty and splendour. Who knew that simply standing there would cause her to be misunderstood?

Yan’er was terrified in her heart. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to embarrass her. He ordered a soldier to escort her to the back door of the manor to confirm the validity of her statement.

With someone accompanying her, Yan’er met the gatekeeper at the back door without encountering any mishaps.

“Little princess’s wet nurse? There is no one surnamed Su.”

“How could there not be …”

But before Yan’er could say anything, she was dragged away by her collar.

It was the soldier who escorted her.

“You’re so courageous, daring to come to the prince’s residence to bluff and cheat.” It was also because of Yan’er’s previous sneaky behaviour that she didn’t even get a chance to explain herself.

This soldier moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the gatekeeper saw the woman being dragged away. She thought to herself that people nowadays were really bold. Knowing that the prince’s residence was different from other ordinary places, many people came to bluff and deceive every year. She had been a gatekeeper for many years and has seen too many people like that.

But suddenly a thought came to her mind that the little princess did not have a wet nurse surnamed Su now, but there was one before. Except now she was titled as Lady Su, not Nanny Su.

Could it be that she was looking for Lady Su?

She was about to raise her voice to stop those two, but a person walked out from inside the manor.

“Tao’er, where are you going?” It was obvious that the gatekeeper knew this person, and the smile on her face was extremely enthusiastic.

“The side consort instructed me to go out to buy something. Today happened to be my off day, so I also planned on buying some snacks to share with my roommates. What’s wrong? Were you about to do something? “

For the people below to curry favour with the people above, it was because they wanted to fly to higher branches but to do so, their speech must be gentle and polite. It was very comfortable talking to such people and these little girls’ tails would be high in the sky after only a few words.

As the gatekeeper thought so inside, she told her what happened just now.

“There was a girl who said that she came to see Nanny Su but didn’t say it very clearly and I also haven’t met Lady Su in a long while. She has already been driven away, but since she is looking for someone, she will definitely come again.”

Tao’er nodded casually, said a few more words to her, then left with a smile on her face.

Yan’er was harshly dragged a few streets away from the manor then thrown to the ground. She burst into tears.

The other party saw that she was a girl, and didn’t seem to be a spy or anything like that. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for her to leave. Even so, she was warned not to come again.

Yan’er was born in a small family. No matter how courageous she was, she has never encountered a situation like this. She felt scared, panicked and aggrieved.

Her hands were bleeding from being thrown to the ground and her knees were also in pain. She slowly stood up. Once she was back on her feet, she looked up and saw a girl standing in front of her, who looked different from ordinary people.

“Do you know Nanny Su?”

“You are— “

Recently, Jin Wang came to Rongxi Courtyard very frequently.

As to how frequent his visits were exactly? He used to visit only when it was dark, but now he would come even during the day.

He wouldn’t do anything once he arrived. He only let Yaoniang massage his head or sleep beside him. Yaoniang felt that Jin Wang had become weirder and weirder recently, and his eyes did not seem to be too good. She told him to find a doctor to take a look at it. He said okay, but nothing changed.

And the number of times he wanted her was much less than before. Several times she could feel that he was like an arrow nocked on the bow, but for some reason, he would always endure it.

Yaoniang thought that Jin Wang might be ill, but it was not a cold nor a fever. She really couldn’t tell why he was like that. Seeing that he didn’t wish to explain any details, she also didn’t dare to ask for more. She could only make him feel as comfortable as possible once he arrived at her place.

Because Jin Wang’s visits were too frequent these days, Yaoniang’s time with Xiaobao was limited. On that day, after seeing Jin Wang off, she went to the West Chamber.

When Yaoniang arrived, she saw Ah Xia supporting Xiaobao on the edge of the bed. His legs were trembling a little, but otherwise, he stood firmly.

She was very surprised, and Ah Xia explained to her, “The young master desperately tried to stand on his own, but this servant was afraid of him falling, so this servant is here to support him.”

The reason for this was also because people generally believed that babies must be over a year old before they could stand. Some children from wealthy families couldn’t even stand by the age of two or three. Ah Xia was afraid that Yaoniang would reprimand her for messing around because she had nothing to do and hurting Xiaobao’s legs.

Yaoniang certainly didn’t blame Ah Xia. Although Xiaobao couldn’t talk yet, he had plenty of ideas of his own. She had watched him go from sitting to crawling, and now that he had had enough of crawling, he wanted to get off the ground. Yaoniang had expected this day to come for a long time, so although she was amazed, she was not surprised.

Seeing Xiaobao standing there with his small eyes looking at her, Yaoniang was helpless and wanted to laugh. She walked over and held him in her arms. “Little monkey, is it because Mother has come less often these past few days that you wanted to go out to find Mother on your own? “

Xiaobao looked at his affectionate mother and made a few sounds of oohs and aahs. Fortunately, he couldn’t speak yet, otherwise, he had no idea how he would explain himself. He was only trying to walk and talk as soon as possible.

So he showed off his new skills to Yaoniang again. He called two syllables that were similar to ‘Mommy’ with his mouth.

This time made Yaoniang so happy that she couldn’t help but wipe her tears.

In her last life, Xiaobao could talk, but his first words were definitely not ‘Mommy’ because she had not been able to accompany him. Fortunately, this life made up for it. And all this was brought to her by Jin Wang. Yaoniang was the type of person that couldn’t remember others’ bad things but would only remember their good qualities.

Yaoniang had long been able to figure out Jin Wang’s temperament since she had been with him for so long. He’s the kind of person who would do everything without mentioning a word of it. His personality was awkward and he liked to make people guess everything. He enjoyed other people rubbing his fur but never against the grain. Only then would he be comfortable and give face. Whenever he felt uncomfortable, he would sulk.

Just like recently, ever since Side Consort Hu’s ban was lifted, Yaoniang could feel that Jin Wang had something in his heart.

And it seemed to have something to do with her.

Although she wasn’t smart, she wasn’t stupid either. After thinking about it for a while, she could understand what was happening. But since she wasn’t completely sure, she naturally wouldn’t ask Jin Wang lest he thinks of her as a fanciful fool.

But recently, she felt there were even more things on his mind. Whenever they were alone, with nothing to do, he would always stare at her.

Now that her guts have grown bigger, even though she knew that he had something he wanted to tell her, she refused to ask. She could see that in these last two days, his face had grown darker and darker and he refused to face her with a good expression.

She thought to herself that if he didn’t have a good face, why bother coming here? Even with his ugly expression, he would always come to Rongxi Courtyard. Yaoniang planned to ask him about it when he arrived that night, so as not to completely anger him. It wasn’t worth it.

As Xiaobao watched his mother, he could tell that she was overjoyed and was wiping tears of happiness. But for some reason, her face blushed as she wiped her tears. Even thinking with his toes he could tell that his mother must be thinking about his father again. He felt strange in his heart.

Whenever Xiaobao thought of Jin Wang ever since his last visit, Xiaobao always felt weird.

If he was right, his father held murderous intent towards him that day. He didn’t miss the hint of viciousness in his eyes. But in the end, his father endured it, and when Xiaobao thought about it afterwards, he realized it must be because of his mother.

It stood to reason that he should be happy. But since he has lived for two lifetimes and was dependent on his Father Emperor in his previous life, Xiaobao simply could not accept this.

This incident told him the cruel reality that he was the son of a street vendor. His Father Emperor was so disgusted that he wanted to kill him.

Maybe he wasn’t reborn into his own body but the child of his mother and a street vendor. His father coveted his mother’s beauty, so he killed the vendor and snatched his mother into the mansion. To avoid being discovered by others, he put his mother next to the little princess. Only when their affair couldn’t be hidden any longer was his mother exposed to the world.

And his original self should still be in his mother’s belly.

This was the only reason Xiaobao could think of. Only in this way would everything make sense. He looked at Yaoniang’s belly and thought to himself with some annoyance. When he grows up, should he find Father Emperor to avenge his street vendor father? All the people from those folktales acted like that.

The thoughts of the mother and the son drifted away, but they were thinking about two things that were completely different.

At this time, Chun’er walked in and said, “Madam, the consort invites you to go over and specifically said to bring the young master over.”
