Chapter 44.2

The little princess’s teeth were still growing. Whenever she saw something placed in front of her, she would want to grab it and put it in her mouth. When Nanny Wang held out the crab meat, the little princess immediately opened her mouth in cooperation.

But Nanny Wang also knew that the little princess couldn't chew food at all. She had given the infant some white steamed buns to eat before. Although she was very happy to eat it, she couldn’t swallow it completely. There would always be bits and pieces left in her mouth. One-month-old babies still wouldn't know how to spit out food. But their abilities were constantly changing. What if the little princess actually had swallowed it? But if she didn't, it would be in some corner of her mouth, or under her tongue.

To put it bluntly, Nanny Wang had a guilty conscience. It was the first time that she’d done something like it. She couldn’t help but think of how miserable she would be if she was discovered.

His highness was so wise and shrewd. He said that he wouldn’t be merciful towards the perpetrator. What if he found out that she was the one who did it?

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. The more afraid she was, the more she couldn’t help but think about it. This was why Nanny Wang couldn’t resist taking a look in the princess’s mouth. If there was nothing to be found, that would be the best, if something was found, she would wipe away all traces.

Nanny Wang’s finger continued to probe around the little princess’s mouth. But the princess remained fast asleep because of the sedatives in the medicine.

A voice suddenly asked, "Nanny Wang, are your hands clean?"

Nanny Wang automatically replied, "Yes, they’re washed. I’ve scrubbed them nice and clean."

She immediately realized what happened. This wasn’t Yuyan or Yucui's usual reminder to wash their hands before holding the little princess, but—

She turned her head stiffly and saw Yucui standing there, watching her with a smirk.

Not far from Yucui, Yuyan stood there with an ugly expression on her face.

"I, I…"

Jin Wang remained in the study room all night.

His highness's anger continued to simmer, and none of the servants dared to say anything. They could only pretend to be mute, for fear of attracting Jin Wang's anger.

A lamp shone in the room. Jin Wang, who sat behind the bookcase, looked gloomy.

Fucheng stood in front of the bookcase, cleared his throat and said, "… the crab bun had appeared under highly suspicious circumstances. Recently, the manor did buy some, but it was only for the consort to eat. Almost everyone in the entire manor knows that the consort had always liked to eat them…”

"But we did find that recently, Side Consort Hu always called Nanny Wang over. She did it under the guise of concern for the little princess. When the rashes had appeared on the princess, someone saw a servant girl named Qin'er enter Nanny Su’s room. She is one of Side Consort Hu’s people. Mammy Mu also had some doubts about Nanny Wang, so with Yuyan and Yucui, they set up a ploy, and Nanny Wang actually fell for it… "

"You are sure it has nothing to do with Siyi Courtyard?" Jin Wang asked as he tapped his fingers on the table. His face was cloudy as if he was thinking about something.

Fucheng nodded. Of course, he could understand his highness's mind.

Honestly, almost everyone saw through Side Consort Hu's ulterior motive. This woman wasn’t smart in the first place. What if all this was a deliberate ploy created by Consort Jin, to let her rival fall into the pit? It was definitely something that she could pull off. Side Consort Hu had been contesting for power recently, and it had caused her to be very unhappy. It would be normal for Consort Jin to want revenge.

Maybe others didn’t know the entire inside story, but Fucheng, who served at Jin Wang’s side, knew and understood everything.

Over the recent years, if it hadn’t been for Jin Wang’s constant support and secret protection, Side Consort Hu wouldn't even know how she died. This was how big the difference was between her and Consort Jin.

It was a pity that she didn’t know how to count her blessings. Instead, she kicked up a fuss and caused his highness’s patience to run out. Once he gave up on her, her remaining days would not be pretty.

If it wasn’t for the little princess and-

Jin Wang suddenly stood up, which interrupted Fucheng's train of thought. He instinctively stepped forward.

"Don't follow me."

Fucheng knew that his highness was going to visit Nanny Su.

Yaoniang pondered over a lot of things until she fell asleep.

Half asleep, she was awakened by someone lying on top of her.

His movements were filled with urgency and his skin felt hot to the touch. Yaoniang wasn’t even completely awake yet but was still muddle-headed.

She could feel his hands rubbing against her face. But his hands were too rough and her face was recently slapped. Anger quickly rose in her chest

When she was slandered and slapped by Side Consort Hu, he didn't say anything. Now he was sprinkling salt to the wound. She desperately pushed back and tried to keep him away from herself. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to escape.

"Why are you so stupid? You deserve to be slapped…"

He had the audacity to scold her!

Yaoniang felt wronged inside. She tried to push him away, but her body wouldn’t listen to her. It had softened from his fondling and was weak all over.

No light shone in the room. It was completely dark.

Darkness gave people endless courage. In the darkness, Yaoniang's courage greatly increased.

Since she couldn't see his face, she became more brazen.

Fine! If he continued to anger her, she would pack her bags and go home!

As he roughly entered her, Yaoniang courageously bit on his shoulder. She tried to cause him pain so he would let go of her.

But he acted like it was nothing. Instead, he slid his big palm down her body and pressed himself even closer against her. Then, he suddenly spanked her.

The smack rang crisp and clear. The scent of lovemaking filled the air

"You are becoming bold …" He said as he lifted her leg.

Yaoniang shuddered and couldn’t help but cry out.

She couldn’t remember everything that happened afterwards. But she did have the impression that after a while, he had asked if she wanted to go home. He also asked whether she still thought about that street vendor.

Yes, she did want to go home, but what street vendor?

What does a street vendor have to do with her!?
