Chapter 24.2

Yaoniang slowly walked downstairs. Fearing that others would notice her anomalies, she deliberately rubbed her face and took a few deep breaths before going to the East Room.

It was very quiet. Fucheng was not there. Yucui sat on the edge of the bed, watching over the sleeping little princess.

Noticing Yaoniang coming in, Yucui looked up.

"Huh, where's Eunuch Fu?" asked Yaoniang casually.

Yucui answered, "Eunuch Fu went to the toilet."

Yaoniang nodded and approached the bed. The little princess was still asleep. She went to the side and found some clothes that the little princess had changed out of. She told Yucui that she was going to go wash them. Then she hurried out with her head down.

Yucui looked at her back and sighed quietly.

Fucheng felt that he was too old to do such a thing. This was too shameful, but in the end, it concerned his highness’s major life event.

He stayed in the washroom for a long time. Even if it was as clean and tidy as a bedroom, he couldn't bear it. He estimated the time in his heart and felt that it was about time before he came out of the washroom. As soon as he arrived at the small building, he saw Jin Wang walking out the door with a cold face. Fucheng hurriedly approached him.

"Your Highness, are you going back to Zhaohui Hall?"

Jin Wang did not speak but strode forward.

Fucheng glanced at his face. Was it a failure?

Why didn't he succeed? Could it be that his highness can't even get a little nanny? Or was his highness inexperienced and messed up?

Fucheng thought that the latter possibility was more likely.

He didn't dare to ask more. He lowered his head and walked behind Jin Wang. Jin Wang walked very fast, and he struggled to keep up. After Jin Wang finally stopped, he couldn’t help himself and whispered, "Would his highness like this old servant to knock her out and deliver her to your room?"

Jin Wang looked at him. His eyes were very cold.

It was as cold as ice.

Fucheng shut up immediately, acting as honest as a quail.

Even so, Jin Wang did not let him go. For the next half of the day, Jin Wang made Fucheng run around the house. Obviously, this kind of trivial matter was usually done by the people below, but Jin Wang made Fucheng go.

Fucheng knew that His Highness was angered, but the key point was that he was also very innocent.

After a tiring day, in the evening, Jin Wang let out a cold snort and announced that Fucheng's torture had finally ended.

Fucheng was old and weak, so he handed over the task of serving Jin Wang to his adopted son Xiao Shunzi. Then he came to the small courtyard at once.

He went to the East Room and sat opposite Mammy Mu. He sighed and poured out his grievances for a long time.

"Are you saying that His Highness has taken a fancy to Nanny Su?" This wasn’t so much a question but a statement. In fact, Mammy Mu wasn’t too surprised, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

Ever since Yaoniang entered the courtyard, Mammy Mu paid attention to her.

Compared to the lively and easy-going Cuizhu, Yaoniang, who was taciturn and low-key, drew her attention more. Mammy Mu has been in the palace for most of her life, and she knew what kind of women were doted on. With three thousand beauties in the harem, how many could really make the master move his heart? When looking at their merits, such as outstanding looks and a pleasing temperament, Yaoniang had them all. She was born to be a stunner that men couldn’t resist.

Mammy Mu thought that the girl who came from the Xu Family had an extraordinary vision. She had no idea where Consort Jin had found such a stunner. Regarding the fight between Consort Jin and Side Consort Hu, Mammy Mu knew in her heart but never interfered. She had seen too much of this. She didn’t think that this level of dispute in the backyard would catch the interest of any master.

Even if it did, the master would never be Jin Wang. Mammy Mu had watched Jin Wang grow up and she understood his temperament.

Mammy Mu hoped that Jin Wang would have more women. The more, the better. Only like this could he have offspring and flourish.

"The young woman is a widow and has a child. His highness does not dislike it?"

Hearing Madam Mu say this, Fucheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a dry smile, "How can His Highness tell us servants these details?”

Mammy Mu nodded, “That’s true. His highness has always been self-sufficient. This is also fine. To be able to blossom and bear fruit shows that the land is fertile. This is always better than that piece of barren land. No matter how much effort is put into a piece of barren land, it would never yield crops.”

Fucheng didn't say anything. He understood who Mammy Mu referred to when she said barren land. Wasn’t it clearly Consort Jin?

The other party didn't know everything that was going on, so there were some words he couldn’t say. He worried that this trip was a mistake. There were some things that he couldn’t say clearly, but could only be vague. Yet what kind of person was Mammy Mu? She has been in the imperial palace longer than him, and her thoughts were deeper than his. It wouldn’t be good for her to see through him with these few words.

Fucheng didn't dare to complain anymore, and he even forgot the purpose of this trip. He hurriedly said goodbye to Mammy Mu and left.

Mammy Mu was left sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at his back. Her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.

If Yaoniang yielded to Jin Wang this time, she would take the same path as before. Since she had been reborn, she wasn’t interested in making the same mistake again.

Jin Wang's attitude was to be expected. His attitude was common as a man from the imperial palace. If she didn't agree, he would be angry. If she agreed, he would suspect her. Jin Wang was a prince, and there had always been plenty of women who wanted to put themselves under the patronage of a higher-up. As for how Yaoniang had been arranged to work at the small courtyard? It was done by Consort Jin.
