Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter93，Part2: Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine Ch 93 Pt. 2

Translated by gingercat

Mrs. Li wanted to chase after her to scold her but was suddenly pulled from behind.

“Mother, that’s enough! If you make trouble again, I will send you to aunt’s place in the countryside!”

Mrs. Li was frightened by her son’s anger. Like a chicken with its neck pinched, she suddenly fell silent.

Even when she was young, she had been a bit of a troublemaker, so was often threatened by her own man like this. Unexpectedly, now that she was old, her son also threatened her like this.

Mrs. Li felt that the sky was falling. All she wanted to do was sit on the ground and howl, but when she looked down, she realized this wasn’t the ground of her own home.

Only then did she realize that this was Jin Wang Manor. She looked up and saw the maid standing to the side, pretending to be a statue, and returned to her room angrily.

After Huiniang left, Yaoniang sat there. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Only when someone walked in and stood in front of her did she return to her senses.

“Your Highness.” With only her and him in the room, Yaoniang felt a bit nervous.

Jin Wang sat down on the edge of the Kang, “Did you tell your sister about the matter?”

Yaoniang nodded.

Seeing her lowered head, there were a lot of words in Jin Wang’s heart that he wished to say but he didn’t know where to start.

“Have her stay here for a few more days. This prince noticed that you seemed a bit lonely so let her accompany you some more.”

Jin Wang had never said such things before. Yaoniang raised her head in surprise and saw his taut expression before realizing his meaning.

She felt a little embarrassed as she lowered her head and nodded.

“En, then you rest.” Jin Wang stood up.

Yaoniang nodded again.

Seeing that she didn’t ask him to stay, Jin Wang could only leave.

Snow fluttered outside, but Rongxi Courtyard was burning the earth dragon, so it was as warm as spring.

The two sisters sat on the Kang, with a rosewood table between them on which was placed some needles and thread, scraps of cloth, teacups and a plate of fruit.

Yaoniang was holding a piece of fabric in her hand, making clothes for the child in her belly. This kind of innerwear for infants was easy to make, and she could make quite a few sets in a single day. However, Yu Chan and the others always kept an eye on her, not letting her use the needle for too long. Having to do a mix of work and play, she could still make a set everyday.

“She has a maid serving her these last few days and is enjoying all sorts of delicacies, and didn’t cause any trouble. Besides, your brother-in-law is watching over her, so don’t worry about it,” said Huiniang, also sewing a set of clothes in her hand.

“That’s good. In this manor, there’s still the consort and side consorts. I’m just afraid that she’ll cause trouble and make people laugh.”

Huiniang came over to chat with her sister often over these past few days. Naturally, she also knew about the matter of Jin Wang living in Rongxi Courtyard. But she has yet to see him in person. According to what Yaoniag had told her, Jin Wang was lying in bed, recuperating.

“Are you just going to leave him hanging like this? Didn’t I already tell you that enough is enough?” Huiniang glanced at her sister.

Yaoniang stopped the movement in her hand and hesitated. “I’m not leaving him to hang, I just don’t know what to say to him. Besides, it’s obviously him in the wrong. Why am I supposed to go find him to make peace?”

“As long as you keep my words in your heart.”

Huiniang was about to continue to speak when there was a sudden clamour in the yard. They could faintly hear what seemed to be Mrs. Li’s voice.

Huiniang immediately threw down the needlework in her hand and got off the Kang. Yaoniang also followed her and Hong Die hurriedly helped her put on her shoes before assisting her out.

When Yaoniang went out, she saw that Mrs. Li’s face was almost twisted as she talked to Huiniang. Huiniang also seemed angry. As soon as Mrs. Li saw Yaoniang, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over, shouting, “Su Yaoniang, you finally showed up!” Huiniang didn’t even have a chance to hold her back.

But before Mrs. Li could get close to Yaoniang, someone cried out, “How bold! Presumptuous!”

The speaker was a little eunuch named Xiao Zhuozi.

A eunuch’s voice was already high-pitched. Now coupled with this shriek, the sound was so sharp that it could pierce an eardrum. Mrs. Li immediately halted in fright.

“If you have something to say, then just say it. If you bump into madam, you won’t be able to afford it!”

“I, I, I don’t have anything to say to you!” Mrs. Li’s face was purplish-red as she glared at Yaoniang fiercely, “Su Yaoniang, explain! Where is my Yan’er? You tricked Su Huiniang into saying that my Yan’er didn’t come. But the maid said that Yan’er did come and was harmed by you!”

Yaoniang’s heart shook and was about to say something when a voice came from behind, “Who told you that your daughter was here?”

It was Jin Wang.

Jin Wang’s long hair was tied behind his head and he was wearing a large black fox fur cloak. His face was ice-cold as he rushed forward with a fierce momentum.

Upon Jin Wang’s arrival, the people in the courtyard all knelt.

Except for Yaoniang. Mrs. Li and Huiniang were also still standing. Huiniang bent her knees and was about to kneel when she was stopped by Fucheng.

“Madam Yao doesn’t need to kneel. After all, she’s a relative.”

The meaning behind these words was quite profound. According to the norm, a concubine’s sister was not worthy of being called a relative by a prince. Yet, Fucheng actually said such a thing.

Fucheng represented Jin Wang and his words conveyed Jin Wang’s meaning.

The people around Yaoniang and Zhaohui Hall all understood what was going on, but the others didn’t. Over the past few days, Jin Wang moved to the Rongxi Courtyard to live. It was a shocker but since the master was willing, no one could say anything. They merely chalked it up to Jin Wang doting on Lady Su. After all, now that she was pregnant, her status wasn’t quite the same.

But Fucheng’s words today carried a different meaning.

His words carried the meaning of Lady Su being equivalent to the consort. This was why the relatives of Lady Su were also the relatives of His Highness.

Unbothered with what was on the servants’ minds, Jin Wang’s frosty gaze remained on Mrs. Li.

When had Mrs. Li met such a terrifying person? The county magistrate of Linyun County was already the most powerful person in her eyes. The first time she saw Jin Wang was when Jin Wang took the initiative to visit. There had been nothing unusual about him except looking a bit more handsome and having more servants.

Even if he was more powerful than the county magistrate, he wouldn’t do anything to her because she was the mother-in-law of Su Yaoniang’s sister. But Mrs. Li didn’t consider how she disliked Yaoniang yet still dared to take advantage of her. What kind of behaviour was this?

At the moment, Mrs. Li didn’t have the time to think about anything. The only thing she felt was fear. However, this kind of person does have some sly tricks. With a plop, she sat on the ground. Without looking at Jin Wang, she only shouted at Yaoniang, “Su Yaoniang, you return my Yan’er! Back then, you had raised a bas-”

The voice stopped abruptly. Mrs. Li had suddenly fainted somehow.

Jin Wang frowned. “Send her back and investigate whose mouth had leaked. Since they can’t control their tongue, there’s no need for it.”

.

A group of people immediately swarmed up and carried away Mrs. Li away.

Huiniang glanced at her sister with worry. Since Mrs. Li was her mother-in-law, she couldn’t not care so she hurriedly followed.

Yaoniang stood in a trance. It was Jin Wang who led her back inside.

Fucheng and the maids left. Yaoniang looked at Jin Wang with a bit of annoyance, “It’s all your fault!”

At this time, Jin Wang was not as cold as before. The sharp edges of his face had softened. He pulled Yaoniang into his arms and said, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s all my fault.”

From now on, I’ll double my efforts to make it up to you.
