Chapter 32.1

Yaoniang shot a look at Jin Wang. She couldn't believe that such rogue words would come out of his mouth.

But when she looked at Jin Wang again, he didn't seem to be joking.

She was a little anxious, and at the same time, she thought of the gold chain on her ankle. She said in a hurry, "Your Highness, you are wise and powerful. This little woman is just a widow of a dead man, with a son. She really can't do anything like this… "

Jin Wang glanced at her, "It's not up to you to say whether you can do it or not."

Yaoniang's face turned red.

After a while, she finally mustered up her courage, "But this servant is reluctant."

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes at her, "Why reluctant? Is it because of your dead husband?"

Hearing this, Yaoniang was stunned for a moment and shook her head subconsciously, "In any case, this servant is unwilling. You can't force yourself on a daughter of a respectable family. I didn't sell myself to the Jin Wang Mansion. I am still the daughter of a respectable family."

"Come here!"

"Your Highness, you cannot… "

"Are you coming or not?"

Jin Wang's appearance was terrifying, which was completely different from his usual cold face. Yaoniang was scared silly; to the point of almost crying. By the time she returned to her senses, she had already moved closer, like a pathetic person.

When she got closer, Jin Wang pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap. One hand circled her slender waist, and the other hand was familiarly holding her hand while drilling its way into his hem.

Yaoniang could feel the heat and she shivered. She wanted to pull her hand back, but it was clasped firmly by Jin Wang.

"This prince forgot to tell you that the poison in my body couldn't be cured at one time." Jin Wang looked serious, but his hand which was holding Yaoniang's white and tender little hand in private was not. He lightly rubbed himself over and over again.

Yaoniang could hear her voice trembling, "Then how many, how many times it has to be?"

Jin Wang squinted at the silly little nanny and said, "We need to find an antidote."

"When can we find the antidote?"

"Not sure, maybe in about a year or so."

Yaoniang had a feeling of dark clouds hovering over her head. After a long time, she said with embarrassment, "You have a wife and concubines, you can look for them. There is no need to… "

"Does this prince need you to tell me what to do?"

Yaoniang immediately stopped talking.

Jin Wang by no means was satisfied with this. He glanced at Yaoniang a few times, but Yaoniang currently had her mind on other things. Naturally, she didn't see his eyes.

It seemed that this matter should be carried out with the consent of both parties. Jin Wang suddenly had such an understanding in his heart.

He cleared his throat and said, "Didn’t you say that you still want to go home? If you serve me well, I will let you go home after one year."

"Really?" At this moment, Yaoniang's mind was preoccupied with the thoughts of Jin Wang not letting her go, so she naturally ignored the trap in his words.

"Of course, it's true." Jin Wang nodded meaningfully and glanced at her up and down, "Not only that, but this prince will also reward you with a large sum of money, enough for you to spend the rest of your life in peace."

Yaoniang's head turned quickly.

Actually, she was not so easy to coax. Although she wasn't smart, she was not so foolish. She knew that she couldn't refuse Jin Wang at all. Presumably, Jin Wang liked her a little, so he was particularly tolerant of her. If she didn't know how to behave and go beyond what was proper, he would certainly make her understand what a thundering rage was.

Thinking of this, Yaoniang was a little dazed.

How much does Jin Wang like her? Was this real?

She couldn't help but glance at Jin Wang.

In the dark, his handsome face was as smooth as jade, his eyebrows were as arched as willows, and his eyes were as bright as stars. He was so handsome that she didn't dare to take a look again. She felt the little bubbles popping into her heart, but then the bubbles burst even before they surged in.

Su Yaoniang, don't think too much. Jin Wang just likes your body, not you.

Affection fades as beauty withers away. A woman might be abandoned once her beauty is gone, and when the love grows cold, the relationship dissolves. 

How many years would he continue liking her? How long could it last?

She then thought about the one-year duration Jin Wang said. This one year must be the fresh period for Jin Wang. Most likely, he would not care about her anymore after that one year.

Well, then—

"If that's the case, then this servant promises you. But can you, can you—" She gritted her teeth and said with a bitter heart, "…not let anyone know about it. This servant just wants to do her job well and doesn't want people to know… "

Jin Wang remained silent. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were dark and gloomy.

Yaoniang’s heart was thumping hard, but this was her bottom line. If people found out, she would inevitably go through the old pattern of her previous life. She hadn't figured out who killed her. She didn't want to die an untimely death again.

Yaoniang had a kind of understanding in her heart after what happened yesterday. She couldn't escape. 

Since she couldn't escape, she should do whatever she wanted. As long as she waited for Jin Wang to lose interest in her, it would not be difficult for her to leave.
