Chapter 62.1

Jin Wang’s tone was so cold and Yaoniang was not a fool, so she naturally knew that he was angry.

But she also felt very wronged. It was not her that wanted to have a relationship with him in the first place. Today, she was caught having an affair, so she would have no face when going out to meet people in the future. Yet, he still treated her like this!

Suddenly, all the grievances in her heart surged together and tears fell.

He stared at her and furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you crying for?!"

She lowered her head and ignored him. She even tried to get up from him but was stopped by Jin Wang’s hand pressing down around her waist.

He stretched out his big palm and wiped her face, "Don't cry!"

Jin Wang's tone was too fierce and cold. Yaoniang's lips trembled with fright, and her tears fell faster. But she didn't want him to see her, so she stretched out her hand and covered her face in embarrassment. In a mosquito-like voice, she said, "I don't know how to go out to meet people in the future, what should I do…"

Jin Wang snorted, "No one dares to laugh at you."

"Someone will definitely laugh at me…"

"This prince said won’t, so they won’t!" 

While saying that, Jin Wang took her hand off her face. He sat up and took a random piece of clothing from beside him and wiped her face with it.

Yaoniang was in pain from his wiping and she wanted to dodge but she couldn't avoid it. She could only sit there pitifully and let him wipe her face.

"Tomorrow, I will let Fucheng choose a yard for you to move in."

"I'm not going."

"You say that again!?"

"I…" As she stuttered ‘I’ for a long time, Yaoniang played with the blanket she was wrapped in. Under Jin Wang's fierce gaze, she lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid…"

"Afraid of what?"

"I don't know, I'm just afraid…"

Jin Wang looked askance at her. "There is this prince to give you support, what do you need to be afraid of?"

"I ……"

"Call this prince ‘good brother’ and this prince will protect you and give you support."

Originally Yaoniang still held some uncertainties in her heart, but she instantly lost her breath when she heard this.

These words reminded her of how Jin Wang had forced her to call him brother as he tossed her around the past few days. How could Yaoniang understand the origin of these lewd words? She only knew that she was too embarrassed. She only called him that when it was a critical moment or when she was forced to.

But Yaoniang also knew that her situation would most likely not be good in the future. The matter between her and Jin Wang was exposed like this, and it would be spread throughout the entire mansion by tomorrow. Not to mention Consort Jin and Side Consort Hu, the two newly appointed side consort have not consummated their relationship with Jin Wang so far. If they knew that Jin Wang had been with her instead of being in the bridal chamber on their wedding night, they would hate her to the bones.

Thinking about it this way, her breath hitched. She knew that the top priority should be to find a backer for herself, not to be arrogant.

In her last life, she pleased him. Although he didn't like to pay attention to her, he did let her take advantage of his power. For a long time, others dared not offend her. He changed a lot in this life, and she could see how much he liked herself. If she pleased him well, would he treat her even better?

After all, he was the most powerful person in the residence. If he really wished to protect someone, he should be able to do it.

She didn’t really care about what would happen to her, but now that Xiaobao was with her, nothing bad must happen. Anyways, she was used to being forced by him. It wasn’t a big deal for her to call him that a few times.

All these thoughts flew by in an instant. Yaoniang looked at Jin Wang anxiously and asked, "Really?"

Jin Wang looked at her and nodded.

Yaoniang was so embarrassed that her cheeks turned scarlet. With her pretty eyes lowered, she slowly approached Jin Wang and whispered in a low voice, "Good brother…"

"Be louder, this prince didn't hear it." Of course, he had heard it. At this moment, Jin Wang’s entire body was so comfortable. It was as if he had eaten the immortal fruit that made people soar into the clouds.

"Good brother…"

Nanny Su, who served next to the little princess, had an affair with someone, and that person was His Highness. Side Consort Hu had wanted to catch them in action but was thrown out by His Highness.

Before dawn, the news spread throughout the mansion, and people everywhere were discussing it in private.

Consort Jin was dizzy and had to sit for a while after waking up before she could get out of bed. But when Zi Meng reported this incident, she was so shocked that her dizziness was gone.

"Really?"

Zi Meng nodded. "The people below all described it in vivid detail. Apparently, people from the small courtyard were all awakened by Side Consort Hu at the time, so this matter couldn’t be covered up. Some people who didn't go inside said that Side Consort Hu was so scared that she almost didn't leave Nanny Su’s room. Even with all this happening, His Highness didn't come out of the room. After Side Consort Hu went back, she was furious and smashed a lot of things. One could hear her scolding Nanny Su from all the way on the other side of the mansion and she had used all sorts of vulgar language."

Consort Jin’s face was in utter shock. Then she started to laugh. She laughed so hard that her entire body shook. "Haha, I really looked down on Nanny Su. I even regarded her as an ignorant and stubborn piece of rock but didn't expect her to have hidden deeper than we thought. No one in this mansion has an inkling when the two had even gotten together."

As she spoke, she also realized why. There was Mammy Mu and Jin Wang in the small courtyard. If the two of them joined hands and worked together it would be hard for others to notice.

"Then Haoyue Residence also knows about this?" Haoyue Residence was the courtyard where Side Consort Xu lived.

Zi Meng pondered for a moment, "I guess they should know. This incident has been spread all over the manor."

"Then, they must feel uncomfortable."

Of course, Side Consort Xu was uncomfortable. This matter appeared to have nothing to do with her but if one looked closer, they would be able to see the connection.

The reason why Jin Wang didn't come to Haoyue Residence was that he got together with Nanny Su.

Although she hadn’t been here for a long time, she could still see what the people of the manor were like. Not to mention the other servants in the mansion, but the people around her were at a disadvantage whenever they went out because Jin Wang didn’t consummate their relationship.

She was supposed to be Side Consort Hu, the only one who received the favour of His Highness. That day, Side Consort Xu only said those words to provoke her, how could she have expected her words would come true?

When has Side Consort Xu ever been this furious before? Because of her background, she wouldn’t curse or scold but she was still so angry that she smashed her rouge box.
