Chapter 24.1

It was recently brought to my attention that some of the old translator's links no longer worked. So I will be posting some of the older chapters sporadically whenever I can. They will still be the old translator's work with me making a few edits here and there. It should not impact my normal release schedule. Thanks for your understanding!

Yaoniang was really frightened, and her face suddenly turned pale.

She instinctively wanted to lie on the ground and allow Jin Wang to do what he wanted to do. But then she thought of Xiaobao.

She remembered how Xiaobao had lost his mother in her past life. He must have felt lonely and helpless. In the Yao Family, he also suffered under Mrs. Li. In both lifetimes, the person who made Yaoniang the sorriest in this world was the son that she was forced to leave behind.

Xiaobao can’t live without his mother, so she must stay alive. She mustn't repeat the same mistake and become the concubine of Jin Wang.

At the same time, Yaoniang was struck with a trace of clarity in her head. Obviously, she came to the prince’s residence to work as a wet nurse. She was good at her job and there was nothing for others to complain or nitpick. Why did she feel that she must be dependent on Jin Wang to live a good life?

She didn't sell herself to Jin Wang Mansion, nor was she Jin Wang's concubine! She was only a wet nurse!

Sure enough, the legacy of her previous life had a profound impact, not only on her body but even her mind.

Yaoniang suddenly felt a sense of sobriety as if she had been enlightened. So she automatically straightened up. She stopped guarding her chest in a defensive posture and dropped her hands to her sides.

Jin Wang thought that Yaoniang finally decided to stop struggling, and was satisfied. But then he inevitably became suspicious again. He wondered if she had wanted to submit but deliberately tried to whet his appetite.

He had seen such a woman more than once. They would rather die than submit, but in fact, it was all an act and superficial tricks.

Too many had used this method back in the imperial palace, and Jin Wang was not interested in them.

Suddenly, he felt a little distracted. He didn't quite understand where these emotions came from, but he didn't want to understand either.

For him, a woman was never unattainable. It was a matter of whether he wanted her or not.

If he wanted, he could get her anytime.

Jin Wang even thought that if this girl can eliminate his problem, it wouldn’t be a problem to give her a lifetime of riches and glory.

Like the woman in Liuchun Pavilion.

Jin Wang's face turned cold again. But Yaoniang, who was preoccupied with her thoughts had her eyes down and didn't notice any of this.

*

For Jin Wang, it was only a sentence.

But for Yaoniang, it was no less than a lifetime of submission.

She was born with a meek personality. Many people called her a fox demon or a vixen, but Yaoniang was actually a very honest and simple-minded girl.

She was born in Jinzhou and grew up in Jinzhou.

In Jinzhou, Jin Wang was king.

His words were like an imperial edict for the common people of Jinzhou.

Because of this way of thinking, once Yaoniang entered Jin Wang Mansion, she couldn't afford any thoughts of resistance.

Whatever Consort Jin said was right.

Whatever Jin Wang said was right.

But this time, she didn't want to obey anymore. She had already died once, and she didn't want to die a second time.

Yaoniang looked up at the man next to her. When she saw his handsome face, her pupils couldn’t help but shrink. She felt even breathing had become difficult and her mind fell into a daze.

But she still had a hint of awareness. She hadn’t forgotten the situation she was in or the choice that she had made.

She pursed her lips slightly and lowered her head. Her voice trembled, but she still forced herself to speak.

"Your highness, please forgive this servant for not being able to obey. This servant is a married woman. Although the husband has died, this servant still has a young son and does not intend to remarry. This servant came to the prince’s manor to work and make money to raise my child. Your highness is wise, brilliant, majestic and powerful. Presumably, you will not force a miserable and weak woman… "

Of course, Jin Wang was annoyed, but his annoyance had nothing to do with others. There were also hints of anger when his dignity and status were challenged, but it was mainly feelings of embarrassment.

He was an imperial prince of the Qian dynasty with a rank of qinwang. With his status, what kind of woman in the world couldn’t he get? Yet now he was rejected by a mere nanny.

He was rejected under these circumstances despite trying to imitate those despots who bullied both men and women. Yet, the other party would rather die than submit…

But as he looked at her, his annoyance was inexplicably absent. He could see how scared she was, and how the whole person was trembling with fear.

She was so pitiful.

Yaoniang's appearance was indeed pitiful. She seemed calm, but that was merely a facade. He could easily see how nervous she was. Her face was pale, her hands and lips were shaking, even her thick eyelashes were trembling slightly. The corners of her eyes were red, and it seemed like she was about to cry in an instant.

Because of this, when she said those things with an attitude of rather dying than submitting, she gave others the illusion of begging for mercy. It was like a little bunny facing a wolf who wished to eat it. Obviously, it would be useless to resist, but it still stretched out its paws to deter the wolf.

It made people feel both amused and compassionate.

Jin Wang pursed his thin lips and wanted to reprimand her, but he didn't know where to start. Could he say that he was wrong for asking her to take off her clothes? But for Jin Wang to admit that he was wrong, how could it be possible with his character

So he could only put on a cold face to conceal his embarrassment and awkwardness. "Leave."

Yaoniang couldn't help shivering as she walked out, hugging her chest.

After she reached outside, she couldn't hold on anymore and slid to the ground.

She had offended him.

This was also good.
