Since it was still early when Jin Wang left, Yaoniang planned to get some more sleep.

She was so exhausted since she hadn’t slept well the last two nights.

While she was still sleeping, someone came knocking on her door.

Knock knock.

The knocking sound was still heard, however, at this moment, Yaoniang was having a dream.

She dreamed that Jin Wang allowed her to return home one year later and rewarded her with a large sum of money. She went home with the money and met her elder sister, brother-in-law, and Xiaobao.

Xiaobao had learned to walk and could even call her ‘Mother’. Seeing this, Yaoniang was tickled pink and her smile was brimming with joy.

At that moment, she heard someone knocking on the door of the yard. She opened the door while answering, only to discover Jin Wang standing outside while holding a little boy who looked just like him.

The boy was obviously older than Xiaobao but addressed her as ‘Mother’. She was startled and immediately said that she was not his mother, because she only gave birth to one baby, Xiaobao. The little boy sat on the ground and began to cry, while Jin Wang’s face was as dark as ink. He said that she had no conscience, leaving the father and son to run away.

Yaoniang felt so wronged and wondered if this was a conspiracy of Jin Wang. At this moment, she eventually heard the knock…

Yaoniang was jolted awake and broke out in a cold sweat. She was rendered senseless until she managed to look out of the window. It was already bright outside.

She hurriedly opened the door.

Ah Xia was standing outside.

“Nanny Su, I didn’t see you in the morning, so I came here to call you.”

Yaoniang asked her in haste, “What time is it now?”

Ah Xia was startled then laughed, “It is not the right time for you to go to work. I just didn’t see you having breakfast, I came to call you.”

Yaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, “I went to bed late yesterday and forgot the time.”

Ah Xia glanced at her, “No wonder, your eyes are red. By the way, what’s happened to your lips?”

Yaoniang touched her lips subconsciously, feeling that it was different from usual and slightly stung. She faked a smile, “I didn’t realize it until you asked. Maybe I got bitten by a mosquito, it hurts a little.” She rubbed her lips and said, “I can’t talk to you, I have to quickly freshen up so I won’t be late for work later.”

Ah Xia nodded, “Okay, I’ll go and bring over your breakfast.” Then she ran away before Yaoniang had a chance to refuse.

Yaoniang shook her head with a smile and returned to the room.

Looking in the mirror, Yaoniang’s face was full of languor. There was a hint of charm in the corner of her eyes. The rim of her eyes was slightly red, while her lips were ruddy and swollen. It was tender and beautiful, charming and delicate. Making one wish they could take a bite.

Yaoniang rubbed her face and went behind the screen.

Because of the hot weather and the inconvenience of taking a bath at night, Yaoniang placed two wooden barrels in the room. A barrel with a lid was filled with clean water and the other one was filled with wastewater, which was thrown out every day. Yaoniang opened the lid of the wooden barrel that still contained half a bucket of clean water, then scooped it out to the washbasin.

Fortunately, there was some water left in the barrel, otherwise, Yaoniang wouldn’t know what to do these days. She couldn’t go out to fetch water then wash up in the middle of the night. It would embarrass her to death.

Thinking of this, she somehow remembered what happened last night. Yaoniang flushed with shame and she could feel her face heated up.

Yaoniang washed her face and rinsed her mouth, then went to the dressing table to comb her hair. She coiled her pitch-black, thick hair and made a sole bun on the back of her head, then fastened it with a wooden hairpin. She originally wanted to make bangs but felt that it was too troublesome. Previously, she just didn’t want to be noticed, but the raw rice had boiled into cooked rice, there was nothing to hide anymore.

When Yaoniang combed her hair, Ah Xia walked in with a tray in her hands.

Breakfast was very simple: white rice porridge, mushroom and green cabbage buns, a plate of pickles, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

Yaoniang expressed her thanks to Ah Xia.

Ah Xia looked at her in amazement, “Nanny Su, I didn’t realize it before but you look so pretty.”

Yaoniang touched her face subconsciously, and smiled a little embarrassed, “Really? I don’t think so.”

Ah Xia nodded repeatedly, “It’s true, I think you should not make bangs in the future, it doesn’t make you look good.” Honestly, it’s a little ugly, but Ah Xia didn’t say it out loud.

“Is that so, I didn’t notice that before. I won’t do it later on.”

Before leaving, Ah Xia had a talk with her for a while.

After Ah Xia left, Yaoniang then came to the table for breakfast.

She finished breakfast soon as she didn’t have much time and was extremely hungry. She cleaned the table and sent the dishes to the small kitchen before leaving for work.

It was a little late when she arrived, but no one said anything. Yaoniang had always been a hardworking person and everyone did notice that. They wouldn’t say anything bad to her just because she was occasionally late.

Nanny Wang and Nanny Qian left shortly, leaving Yaoniang, Yuyan, and Yucui to look after the little princess. During the period, Yuyan went out for something, so there were only Yaoniang and Yucui.

At this moment, Luyao came in and said, “Eunuch Fu is here.”

Consequently, Fucheng came in. He appeared to visit the little princess in Jin Wang’s stead.

Yucui didn’t think much about it, because His Highness hadn’t been here for a few days. It was Yaoniang who was uneasy and afraid that Fucheng would reveal things. After all, she also listened to the movement outside the day before yesterday and knew that Fucheng was outside on the day Jin Wang came to her. Therefore, she was extremely guilty when facing Fucheng.
