This was the most honourable moment for the Yao family. Despite the many years that Mrs. Li has lived, she dared not imagine that a prince would show up at her house.

A knock had sounded from the door and it was Mrs. Li who went to open it. As soon as she pushed the door open, she was stunned by what she saw.

Guards dressed in armour and seated on huge horses stood around a carriage. At first glance, the carriage looked inconspicuous, but it was a bit bigger and taller than the average carriage. Add in many guards into the picture and the scene looked a bit bizarre to the eye.

A middle-aged man with pale skin stood outside the door, looked at her with a smile on his face, and asked her whether Nanny Su lived here.

At first, Mrs. Li couldn’t react, but then she thought, wasn’t Su Yaoniang working as a nanny? Were they looking for her?

Yao Cheng heard the commotion and he came out. When he learned that the man on the carriage was Jin Wang, he immediately knelt down.

When she saw her son kneel, Mrs. Li also fell down with her legs trembling. With an amiable smile on his face, Fucheng helped the two of them up. He explained that Jin Wang had nothing important he needed to do here, but was merely passing through Linyun County. When he learned that Nanny Su was also here visiting home, he offered to give her a ride back to the manor.

A prince is here to give her a ride? Did Su Yaoniang make it big this time?

Mrs Li’s mind was full of these kinds of thoughts. When Jin Wang got out of the carriage, all her words were stuck in her throat. She never expected that there would come a day where she would be unable to speak. Yet today, she was completely in a state of speechlessness.

The prince was so handsome, so majestic, and magnificent…

Only when she saw Yaoniang did she come back to her senses. “Yaoniang, Yaoniang…”

Yao Cheng coughed next to her, but Mrs. Li turned a deaf ear and ran towards Yaoniang.

This was the brightest smile that Yaoniang had ever seen appear on Mrs. Li. The tone of her voice was also the softest and most ingratiating it had ever been. There was also a very obvious sense of caution when she said, “Yaoniang, the prince is here! Hurry up and welcome him!”

Yaoniang stood on the top step while Mrs. Li stood on the bottom step looking up at her. Her old face was difficult to make out under the bright sunlight but Yaoniang could see that her usual frown was missing. In its place was a huge grin. Yaoniang had the illusion that although things have remained the same, the person has changed.

But without giving her enough time to react, Mrs. Li had already come up the steps to grab her.

With one hand holding onto Yaoniang, Mrs. Li walked towards Jin Wang. “Attendant Fu said that his highness was also going to return to the mansion and that they are going to give you a ride. Yaoniang, you are so lucky.”

Yaoniang staggered then regained her balance and stood still in front of Jin Wang. She didn’t dare to look up at him. She bent her knees and greeted, “Your highness.”

Jin Wang gave a hmm but didn’t say a word.

Fucheng, who was next to him, smiled, “Nanny Su was not scared, right? When we were passing by Linyun County, I suddenly remembered that Nanny Su’s house was nearby. Since you are also returning to the manor today, we decided to come here and conveniently give you a ride.”

After he said this, he turned and asked Jin Wang, “Your highness, would you like to go in and sit?”

Yao Cheng hurriedly said, “Your highness, please, please come in and sit. This little one was negligent.”

Jin Wang gave Yaoniang a glance then took the lead to walk inside.

The group went into the hall. Mrs. Li had never thought of the hall as shabby but when Jin Wang sat down in the hall, she felt that her family was extremely poor.

Fortunately, Fucheng’s smiling face dispelled her embarrassment. Fucheng’s smile was amiable and it made him seem like an approachable man. “Madam, sit down. Ask Yao Cheng to sit too. His Highness is an easygoing man. There’s no need to restrain yourselves.”

Easygoing? The two instinctively looked at Jin Wang’s cold face. Jin Wang’s expression did not change, but he nodded his head.

Mrs. Li chuckled and sat down at the end of the table, while Yao Cheng sat next to Jin Wang. Because Jin Wang didn’t speak, the two of them also didn’t know what to say. Their faces were almost stiff from smiling for so long.

At this time, Yaoniang walked in with some tea and approached Jin Wang. She cleared her throat and said, “Your highness, our humble house is simple and the utensils are crude. Hope that your highness will not be offended.”

“This prince will not be offended.” Then, King Jin picked up the ordinary, even rough, white teacup decorated with blue flowers, and took two sips of tea.

When Jin Wang acted like this, he gave people the impression that although he may be cold-faced, he could also be a kind person. Otherwise, why would he bother to come to the Yao Family and drink their crude tea? If one recalled the intent of the other party, it was to give Yaoniang a ride back to the prince’s manor.

Thinking about it like this, Jin Wang was indeed a good person with a cold face but a warm heart.

Yao Cheng was still wondering how to speak so as not to appear impolite while Mrs. Li had already begun to chatter, “Your highness is a very good person. This old lady heard from Yaoniang that the masters of the manor all treat her very well and would not let her do any heavy work. She has enough to eat and use and is also rewarded with a lot of good things when she makes a trip home. This is a good blessing for our Yaoniang.”

Yao Cheng was so frightened that he was about to stop his mother from saying anything else. Unexpectedly, Jin Wang started to say something.

“Nanny Su is dedicated, hardworking, and diligent. Naturally, she would be treated as such.”

Mrs. Li didn’t recognize those words, but it did not prevent her from understanding their meaning. Jin Wang said that Yaoniang served well.

She laughed and said, “His highness is of noble birth. It is expected for Yaoniang to work to the best of her abilities.”

She was interrupted by Yao Cheng when she wanted to continue. “Hope your highness is not offended. This little one’s mother is a village woman who hasn’t seen much of the world and is not good with her words. Your highness is wise and elegant and has a myriad of affairs to attend to. This little one will ask Yaoniang to pack up, so as not to delay your highness’s journey.”

Yaoniang immediately got up to leave and pack her belongings.

Mrs. Li was dissatisfied and said, “This child! It’s rare for his highness to visit our house. How could his highness not stay for a meal at our home? His highness, coming at this time, perhaps hasn’t even had any breakfast.”
