Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

After these past few days of recuperation, Yaoniangâs milk supply gradually increased again. Her milk for the day had accumulated and she couldnât wait to feed her son. So as soon as Xiaobao rubbed his cheeks against her breasts, she bundled up her son and returned to her room to feed him.
Xiaobao seemed to recognize her as his mother, and didnât resist her but suckled her breasts. The age of six months old is when babiesâ appetites become bigger. Yaoniang watched as her son drank her milk and she felt sweet inside.
Suddenly, Yaoniang realized some similarities between her babyâs small face and that manâs.
She looked closer and found that Xiaobaoâs eye shape was very similar to Jin Wangâs. They both had narrow but long eyes. But since Xiaobao was still young, so it wasnât as obvious. But if someone took a closer look, they could see the resemblance.
Yaoniangâs eyes were shaped differently. She had apricot eyes, which were round with slightly curved edges, and gave her a gentle and charming look.
In other words, did Xiaobao look like his father?
When she thought of this, Yaoniang couldnât help but feel disgusted in her heart
She was reluctant to recall her humiliating past. To be honest, Yaoniang hadnât even seen the face of the evil man who had raped her.
Yaoniang refused to think about it any longer. She changed the side that Xiaobao ate from, and he soon fell asleep after he ate his fill.
She caressed her sonâs small head with melancholy. No matter how long she spent gazing at him, it wasnât enough. Xiaobao had grown older and his appearance had slightly changed, but their blood ties could never be erased.
A knock sounded from the door, followed by Huiniangâs voice. âYaoyao.â
Yaoniang hurriedly put Xiaobao on the bed and got up to open the door.
She saw that Yao Cheng was also standing outside, and she quickly invited the two of them to come in.
Yaoniang had thoughts on her mind and so did Yao Cheng.
Yao Cheng and Huiniang both opened their mouths to ask about how Jin Wang Mansion had sent someone to inquire about the details of Yaoniangâs background.
After a while, Yao Cheng added, âYaoniang, thereâs no need to be scared. From my knowledge, if the master wanted to hire you, they would definitely send someone to conduct a background check. After all, the little princess is different from us and is a very important person. Naturally, the process of hiring the nannies around her couldnât be taken lightly. â
If it werenât for what had happened, Yao Chengâs analysis would make sense. But because of the ambiguous relationship that Yaoniang had with Jin Wang, she had a feeling that it wasnât so simple.
But if someone asked her to explain how complicated it was, she wouldnât be able to say it. She could only set the matter aside for the time being.
âBrother-in-law, would people believe the backstory that you fabricated? Will Jin Wang Manor send someone to investigate whether I had a child out of wedlock?â
Yao Cheng looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face. âWhy would Jin Wang Manor send someone down to inquire about such trivial matters? Isnât it just a background check to see if you are clean? Your father is a *Xiucai and your brother-in-law works in the local government office. If a daughter of such a family is considered to have an unclean background, then I honestly donât know what kind of people would be clean. â
âItâs notâ¦â Yaoniang immediately wanted to add something, but then she stopped herself. If she said too much, she may end up saying something she shouldnât. She didnât want her sister and brother-in-law to know that despite signing up to be a wet nurse, she ended up getting involved with the childâs father. If people found out, she would be too embarrassed to go out. After all, she was a daughter raised in an upright family.
In her previous life, her sister and brother-in-law had found out, but what was done couldnât be undone.
Huiniang noticed her sisterâs hesitation and was amused. âOkay, okay, I just knew you would be worried about this. Did you think that your sister and brother-in-law would remain idle while you were gone?â
Yaoniang cast her a doubtful look. Huiniang continued with a smile: âAfter you had left, I went back home and told Father, Mother and Brother Zhu to say to the outsiders that you got married. Your husband is a street vendor but because his family wasnât from the local area, you guys got married in a hurry. â
âBut itâs impossible for the neighbours to be unaware that a marriage took place.â
Huiniang grinned. âI asked them to say that you got married from the Yao family.â After all, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family always picked on Yaoniang, and the neighbours of the Su family all knew. Before Huiniang had gone home to pick up Yaoniang to live with her at the Yao family, there was a huge commotion. Only after the disturbance was resolved did Yaoniang leave with her.
Yaoniang was stupefied.
Huiniang continued, âAs for the neighbours on the Yao family side, I went out and gave them some wedding candies a while ago. Think of it as amassing a good fortune for you. Naturally, I told them that the wedding was held at the Su family. Hehe. No need to thank me.â
Huiniang was very clever. No one would bother to inquire more. The neighbours of the Yao family wouldnât go to the neighbours of the Su family to discuss Yaoniangâs marriage. Especially since the two families lived quite far away from each other, almost on opposite sides of the county.
As she looked at her slightly haggard sister under the dim light, Yaoniangâs eyes couldnât help but turn red. She took a hold of Huiniangâs hand. âSisterââ
âThatâs enough. You are already a mother, but you still have the temper of a little girl.â Huiniang stroked Yaoniangâs cheek as she said so. Despite her words, her eyes couldnât help but redden.
This was all that she could do for her misfortunate sister. At least when Yaoniang returns home, she wouldnât be forced to leave with Xiaobao, but would still be presentable in front of the masses. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yaoniang sniffed and went to the cabinet to take out her luggage.
âThe masters of the house bestowed some clothes, fabric and jewelry â¦â Yaoniang took the things out of her bag one by one. âThe clothes and jewelry are for you. The fabric should be kept to make clothes for Mingâer, Hongâer and brother-in-law. â
âWhatâs the point of giving all this to us? You keep it. Since they had bestowed it to you, you should keep it. You can keep it for Xiaobao to wear in the future, or you can sell it for some money.â
âSister, if you and brother-in-law do this, I would be too ashamed to face you. I have caused you so much trouble, and you guys are also taking care of Xiaobao â¦â
Once these words were said, it was pointless to continue to protest. Continuing would only cause more pain. Huiniang could only interrupt her siser, console her, and accept the things that Yaoniang brought back.
