Yaoniang told them about what had happened on their way back. Huiniang broke into a sweat once she heard what had transpired. “These people are too lawless. Even under broad daylight, they dare to kidnap young women.”

“This is definitely not the first time for them to do this. Thankfully we had the insignia of Jin Wang Mansion on our carriage. No one in this county would dare to pull out a tiger’s whiskers.”

“Looks like it’s not so bad for Yaoyao to be working at the prince’s mansion.”

As the three were talking, Hong’er and Xiaobao awoke. After they put some clothes on the children and washed their faces, Yaoniang and Huiniang went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Yao Cheng stayed behind to look after the children. While Yaoniang stood in the kitchen making breakfast, she could hear Mrs. Li’s enthusiasm as she talked with Zhou Sheng outside.

“Sister, what’s she up to this time?” Mrs. Li wasn’t the type of person to be courteous to others. Now that her words were nothing but polite, Yaoniang was sure that she was up to no good.

“What else could it be but….”

Huiniang told Yaoniang about what had happened to Yan’er.

Yaoniang was so shocked that her mouth dropped in surprise. It was way beyond her expectations. Did this also happen in her past life? But since Yaoniang never returned home in her past life, there was no way for her to learn about what had happened to Yan’er.

As she thought about it, she realized this was karma for Yan’er’s past evil deeds. The pressure in her chest that had accumulated over her two lifetimes disappeared at the news. She felt her entire body had lightened.

“So she wants to matchmake Big Brother Zhou and Yan’er together?”

Huiniang looked at her younger sister and noted that she wasn’t completely stupid.

“This mustn’t be done! Brother Zhou is a good person, we can’t hurt him like this.” Yaoniang immediately wanted to go out but was held back by Huiniang. “It’s fine. Do you think your Brother Zhou is a fool? There’s no way he would fall for the mother and daughter’s schemes”

Yaoniang heard those words and asked, “Sister, what do you mean by my Brother Zhou?”

Huiniang looked at her younger sister with great interest. “This Brother Zhou’s eyes are only filled with you. Don’t tell me you never noticed it.”

Yaoniang actually never noticed it. She simply thought that Zhou Sheng was too nice but she never expected that he would have these kinds of thoughts. She recalled their conversation on the way here and how he had asked whether she was interested in getting married again…

“I feel that this Zhou Sheng is quite good. Since he knows your situation and is willing to be with you, he won’t care about how you were supposedly married or that you also have a child.”

Yaoniang said, “He’s not a widower and he has never gotten married before. How could he want someone like me?”

Huiniang didn’t want to listen to all this. She looked at her younger sister and said, “What do you mean by someone like you hmm? My family’s Yaoyao is the best woman in the world and deserves to be treated as such.”

“Sister……”

Huiniang patted her on the head. “Well, just keep your sister’s words in your heart. It’s not easy for a woman to live on her own with a child. Since someone is willing to be with you, why not consider it? Sister also hopes that you will find a man in the future, someone who can look after you, take care of you and love you.”

Look for a man?

Yaoniang fell silent. She glanced at Zhou Sheng, who was washing the carriage in the courtyard. It happened that Zhou Sheng also looked over and they made eye contact with each other. She saw the joy in his eyes so she instinctively lowered her head then somehow thought of Jin Wang.

At Jin Wang Manor, in Zhaohui Hall, Jin Wang received the third secret letter sent from Shadow Guard Eleven.

A few characters were written on the narrow strip of paper: The driver stayed for another day. The family has the intention of matchmaking.

Fucheng stood to the side and wished he could crane his neck to read it.

But the key point was that he dared not. Instead, he couldn’t wait to bury his head in the sand.

Ever since his highness had received the first secret message from Shadow Guard Eleven, he exuded coldness. By now, the air surrounding him had completely frozen. Fucheng wasn’t interested in bringing further contempt on himself by asking for the content of the message.

Jin Wang stood up suddenly and walked out. “Prepare a horse!”

Fucheng choked. Where is this man going? It then registered in his mind that his highness was going to find Nanny Su.

Mrs. Li insisted on keeping Zhou Sheng in the Yao Family house for one more day. She even used her status as a senior to achieve this, so Zhou Sheng could only agree to it.

Mrs. Li, who received a satisfactory outcome, went to look for her son with joy. But who would have thought that she would hit a wall at Yao Cheng’s place?

“Mother, I advise you to dismiss this idea. His family background is clean and not that shabby. Why should he marry a woman like Yan’er? Although both Huiniang and I treat Zhou Sheng as a brother-in-law, it’s not because of Yan’er, but because of Yaoyao. She’s the entire reason as to why he’s even here. Don’t tell me that Yan’er has taken a fancy to Zhou Sheng. Why is it that whenever a man who likes Yaoyao, Yan’er has to stick her foot in? Don’t say that I didn’t warn her. If she messes up again, I will send her to the Guzi Temple and force her to be a nun!”

Yao Cheng couldn’t be blamed for his harsh words. He has been annoyed by his mother and sister for a long time already. It was one thing if it was only Mrs. Li, she’s his mother and there’s nothing he could do to her. But he really doesn’t have any good feelings for his sister, Yan’er.

Even though she was his biological sister, Yao Cheng had never been close to Yan’er even when they were children. Yan’er had been a thief when she was a child, and she would lie and cheat her way out of trouble. It often ended up being Yao Cheng who got punished by Mrs. Li. The incident with Yaoniang also let Yao Cheng realize that his younger sister had been spoiled rotten by their mother. Her heart was so vicious that chills would run down one’s back at the mere thought of it.

Ever since the incident with Feng Heizi, Yan’er has made a huge fuss. Yao Cheng believes that if her fate wasn’t good, simply let it be. As long as she could cherish what she already has, she wouldn’t have a miserable life. He tried to look for people to be Yan’er’s husband, but she would either dislike them for being poor, for being old, or for already having children of their own. She wasn’t interested in being a stepmother.

But the problem was that with the way Yan’er was now, whoever wished to marry her and was without a son, would have no choice but to cut off his lineage.

Mrs. Li did not expect her son to speak so harshly. She stretched out her hand, slapped him twice, and angrily said. “Who exactly is your sister? It’s certainly not Su Yaoniang, so why are you always looking after her! You white-eyed wolf have married a wife and forgotten your mother! You deny your biological sister for the sake of your wife?!”

“Just take it as if I’ve married a wife and forgotten my mother. Huiniang treats you so well. You and Yan’er only need to open your mouth and meals are served. What have you ever done for the family? All you do is point your fingers and order Huiniang to do everything. You even have the audacity to find fault with her! If you sincerely wish for your son to be successful, our Yao Family to be glorious, don’t make Yaoyao unhappy. She now serves at the little princess’s side. For the sake of this relationship, County Magistrate Qian is planning to promote me to be the department head! If you think this department head position isn’t worth it, continue acting according to your wishes!”

In the end, it was still the son who best understands his mother. Mrs. Li really does love Yan’er. But when compared with her son’s future, her dream of being a rich wife, and the future of the Yao Family, her love for Yan’er has to step back.

After Yao Cheng left, Mrs. Li smacked her lips. “Tsk. A person can be worth so much from working in the prince’s manor? It’s not like she’s struck gold.”
