Yuchan retracted her hand and stepped aside.
It took a while for Side Consort Hu to return to her senses. âYour Highness, I, Iâ¦â
Jin Wang snorted coldly and looked away. âFollow me.â After speaking, he turned his head and left.
Yaoniang didnât react until Yuchan pushed her. She hadnât realized that he was talking to her, and she hurriedly followed.
Behind them was the cry of Side Consort Hu, but it soon disappeared. Once Consort Jin knew what happened outside, she ordered Side Consort Hu to be brought in, so as not to be a disgrace.
Side Consort Hu had bitten off more than she could chew. Consort Jin would not let go of such a good opportunity to punish her.
But Yaoniang didnât have time to care about this for the time being. She was worried about how she could catch up with Jin Wang.
Jin Wang had long legs and took giant steps. With her wearing such a long skirt, she could only chase after in small steps. How could she keep up?
After a while, seeing the tall and slender figure in front of her walk further and further away, she simply didnât want to follow him any longer. Discouraged, she stopped to take a breath. Noticing that Yuchan hadnât followed, she looked back behind her. Suddenly, the light in front of her was covered by darkness. She turned her head and saw him standing in front of her, with his furrowed eyebrows as if he was very dissatisfied with her.
âYou canât even walk properly?â
Yaoniang was angry, but she didnât dare to lose her temper. She whispered, âYour Highness walks so fast, this concubine canât keep up.â
Jin Wang snorted coldly, turned his head and walked away. This time, his pace was a lot slower.
Yaoniang didnât dare to delay anymore. She hurriedly followed behind him.
âWhy did Your Highness come?â
âYour Highness, you are going the wrong way. This is the way to the Rongxi Courtyard.â There was no point for Jin Wang to go to Rongxi Courtyard so early in the day. Yaoniang automatically thought that Jin Wang was so angered by Side Consort Hu that he went the wrong way.
Jin Wang stopped, and Yaoniang couldnât help but run into him.
It was also a coincidence that she happened to hit her nose. A fragile thing like her nose hit his back which was like an iron wall. Yaoniangâs nose became sour and she couldnât help her tears from flowing down.
So dumb!
He actually made this trip for such a dumb person. Instead of being grateful to him, she actually asked him if he was going the wrong way. In the past, Jin Wang had thought that the little nanny was thoughtful, but this was the first time for him to think that she was so dumb.
But even if she was dumb, she looked so pitiful. Jin Wang lifted his chin and looked at her holding her nose with tears gushing out.
Thatâs what you get for walking without looking at where youâre going!
Despite thinking like this in his heart, his hand reached out to grab her hand covering her face. He wanted to see if her nose had collapsed. If it collapsed, he really didnât want to face an ugly monster with a collapsed nose. Even if the ugly monster had a good body that he liked a lot.
Yaoniang insisted on holding her nose and refused to show it to him. What a pity that she was not as strong as him so she was forced to show him her red nose and forehead.
Jin Wang looked at her. She was quite ugly like this, but luckily her nose didnât collapse. Seeing her crying, Jin Wang was impatient, so he picked her up and strode forward.
Fucheng, who had been gone, appeared like a ghost. Two little eunuchs followed behind him, and the legs of the three of them ran as fast as the wind. When they encountered people along the road, they drove them off. As for those that couldnât be driven away, they all stood with their heads lowered.
But wasnât this like plugging oneâs ears while stealing the bell?
After a while, the news that Lady Su was beaten by Side Consort Hu at Siyi Courtyard then carried back to Rongxi Courtyard by His Highness spread throughout the manor.
It was obvious that Lady Su was now the heart and soul of his highness. His Highness favoured her, yet she still went asking for trouble. As a result, not only was she severely reprimanded by the consort but she was also placed under house arrest. It was said that the consort sent over a thick pile of Buddhist scriptures, saying that the ban would not be lifted until she finished copying everything
This time, Side Consort Hu had lost all face.
Yaoniang was held in the arms of Jin Wang, and she was dumbfounded.
After swaggering across the manor, they reached Rongxi Courtyard. Jin Wang put her on the Luohan bed and ordered Hong Chou to fetch a basin of cold water and a cold compress.
Only then did Yaoniang react. She rolled down the Luohan bed while covering her face, and followed behind Hong Chou.
After she cleaned herself up and came back out, she looked much better. Her nose and eyes were still a little red, looking quite pitiful.
Jin Wang glanced at her but did not speak. With his eyes down, he continued to drink his tea.
This time it was Yaoniangâs turn to approach him. After this period of time, Yaoniang also realized why Jin Wang had appeared. Someone mustâve reported to him that she had gone to Siyi Courtyard. Afraid that she wouldnât be able to deal with it on her own, he went to support her?
For some reason, she felt a bit of sweetness rise in her heart. He probably liked her.
âThank you, Your Highness.â
Jin Wang hummed.
In fact, it wasnât completely like a hum. It was more of a response but his tone was a bit heavy. He seemed to be still angry in his heart.
âIt appears that you are not that stupid. You are aware of what can be done and what can not be done.â
When she heard this, Yaoniang couldnât immediately react, but she quickly picked up Jin Wangâs meaning. He was referring to her going to Siyi Courtyard to pay respects.
âShe is a person who values dignity and propriety. As long as you do your duty and do not overstep your authority, she wonât make it difficult for you. Since this prince was here today, those who should understand would naturally understand. As for those who donât understand, they wouldnât be able to reach you.â
This was the first time that Jin Wang spoke to Yaoniang so directly. What he expressed was nothing more than that he remembered his previous promise and that she has nothing to be afraid of because he has solved all her worries.
Yaoniang was a bit unaccustomed to Jin Wang acting like this, so she quietly glanced at him. What she didnât expect was that he was also looking at her. The two of them made eye contact and Yaoniang fidgeted with her sleeve. âAll in all, thank you, Your Highness.â
Jin Wang looked at her and said, âThis is how you give your thanks?â
