Upon hearing this, Yaoniang couldn’t help but frown.

She had no problem with her going but why the need to bring Xiaobao? Yaoniang remembered how Consort Jin had told her to bring Xiaobao with her to Siyi Courtyard a couple of times, but she hadn’t seen the child ever since that first visit.

Could it be that the consort invited him over for this?

Yaoniang didn’t have time to think in further detail. She hurriedly changed Xiaobao’s clothes and brought him with her to Siyi Courtyard.

Along the way, she felt distressed and a bit uncomfortable.

When she arrived at Siyi Courtyard, a few maids were standing in the corridor. They didn’t look at her with smiles on their face as usual, but with weird eyes.

Yaoniang’s heart skipped a beat and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Entering inside, Consort Jin sat in the main seat with Side Consort Hu and Side Consort Xu sitting below her. All the other concubines were there too. Yaoniang felt even worse inside, but she could only remain silent. She stepped forward to salute the consort and the three side consorts as usual, then stood to the side.

Since the consort didn’t grant her a seat, she wasn’t allowed to sit. This had rarely happened in the past.

Consort Jin, who was sitting in the main seat, had an ugly face. Side Consort Hu looked at Yaoniang with a smile, then said to the consort, “The consort is such a kind person. Now that this kind of thing has happened, she still wants to save face for Lady Su. Call that person up to see if Lady Su can recognize her. Lady Su might even be grateful to you.”

.

She smiled triumphantly, full of malice and looked at Yaoniang with a thick layer of ridicule in her phoenix eyes. This scene was similar to a cat toying with its prey.

The consort sighed quietly and shot a look at the maid next to her.

Not long after, a man and a woman were brought in.

The woman was Yan’er, but the man was very vulgar-looking wearing a semi-new blue jacket.

It was obvious at first glance that this man was of humble origin. He seemed to be very uncomfortable in this place and was glancing at his surroundings out of the corners of his eyes. Looking at the various women with outstanding appearances, a glint of greed shone in his beady eyes.

Once Yan’er came to a standstill, she looked at Yaoniang excitedly. “Sister Yaoyao, I finally found you! Xiaobao has a father!”

Following these words, everyone’s gaze landed on Yaoniang’s face. Her face suddenly reddened, then paled until she had a deathly pallor.

Yaoniang bit her lower lip and stared at the man closely.

“I found you at last! You don’t know that ever since that day, I’ve been thinking about you, day and night. But at that time, I had panicked and abandoned you. Only after asking around for a long time did I find your sister’s house…” When the man saw Yaoniang, a green glow of greed appeared in his eyes. Yet by forcing himself to look gentle, it made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Yaoniang was nauseous, and she felt like she had returned to that day.

What happened that day was still a blur. She only knew that she was in a lot of pain and that she felt very hot and dizzy. When she woke up again, she was thrown into an empty alley in a dishevelled manner. Dragging her broken body home, the Yao Family was in chaos. Huiniang had argued continuously with Mrs. Li because of her. She insisted that Yan’er was the one that lured her out. Once Yaoniang had arrived at that place, she was knocked on the head then passed out.

When she woke up, Huiniang was crying in front of her bed, overwhelmed with grief.

Only then did she know that she suffered all these unbearable things because of Yan’er. And the place she went to was Liuxiang, a famous brothel in Linyun County’s red-light district. She didn’t know who took her body and she didn’t dare to ask.

Her elder sister interrogated Yan’er, but she refused to admit it. She only said that she wanted to ruin Yaoniang’s reputation. She didn’t plan on ruining her body, nor did she know who knocked her out. She also had no way to find out who the man was that night because the brothel had too many customers.

This sentence blocked any follow-up questions they may have had. With Mrs. Li’s protective nature for Yan’er, this matter was left like that.

It could only be left unsettled.

Ever since she became pregnant with Xiaobao, Yaoniang tried her best not to think about what kind of person her child’s father was. Whether he had a good or bad nature, and what his identity was. However, she never expected that he was such a vulgar and disgusting person. This man also just had to be found after she finally managed to live a better life.

What did he want to do?

Yaoniang’s mind was blank, and she couldn’t stop trembling.

Xiaobao was shocked. Shouldn’t his father be a street vendor? How did he come back to life?

Not only him but Yuchan and Ah Xia who were next to Yaoniang were also surprised. Yet the few women sitting in their seats didn’t seem the least bit surprised. They either lowered their eyes and sneered, or covered their mouths in mock surprise. Apparently, they knew about this before Yaoniang had arrived.

“Nanny Su, please explain to everyone what is going on with this man. You said that you were married and gave birth to a child. After the man died, you couldn’t support yourself so you entered the prince’s residence as a wet nurse? Now that this happened, everyone is at a loss. Your status and title are also different now, so you must not do anything that would affect the reputation of Jin Wang Mansion,” said Side Consort Hu.

Upon hearing this, before Yaoniang could even react, the man jumped out with a look of excitement. “I know you hate me. I also met you by chance at the time. It was because I loved you so much that I did such a shameless thing. Everything is all my fault. For the sake of a child, I hope you can forgive me. I will use the rest of my life to make it up for you and my son…”

Then, he even stepped forward. With trembling hands, he tried to touch Xiaobao. “Are you called Xiaobao?”

But Xiaobao stretched out his hand and smacked his hand away.

There was a conspiracy!

Xiaobao looked at the proud Side Consort Hu, then at Side Consort Xu who wore a calm expression. Side Consort Liu had a look of disdain, and Consort Jin’s brows were furrowed and she seemed to be angry. He looked around anxiously, but in the eyes of others, the child was frightened by this scene. No one cared about his reaction, even Ah Xia had forgotten about him.

The man seemed to be stimulated by Xiaobao’s action of disgust. He turned around and threw himself in front of Yaoniang and knelt down.

“Please, come back with me. Don’t let the child be without a father, give me a chance to redeem myself. I will treat you well for the rest of my life…”

Someone sneered, it was very obvious in Yaoniang’s ears despite her trance.

It was Side Consort Hu. “Never thought Nanny Su was actually…”

Her words trailed off but it was this open-ended statement that left their minds wild with imagination.

She was tainted by a man before marriage and gave birth to a wild child.

When Mrs. Li scolded her like that, Yaoniang kept it in her heart and never wanted to recall it. But at this time it kept echoing in Yaoniang’s mind. What should she do? What would she do in the future? No, she had no future. Now that her unbearable past was known, how could His Highness still want her?

“Enough!” With an angry shout, Consort Jin slapped her hand on the armrest. “Side Consort Hu, don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said. It seems that you haven’t been placed under house arrest long enough. When His Highness comes, everything would be left to him to decide!”

Side Consort Hu muttered unwillingly, “Everything is obviously true. The father has found his family. We can’t stop the family of three from reuniting…” The rest of her words stopped abruptly when Jin Wang walked in from outside.
