Consort Jin was inexplicably uneasy. She couldn’t help but glance at Side Consort Hu from time to time.

Side Consort Hu stood there anxiously. She couldn’t help but approach Doctor Liu and ask about the little princess in a low voice. She seemed to be very worried about her.

After all, she had carried the princess for ten months in her belly before giving birth. It was normal for Side Consort Hu to be worried and anxious.

Although nothing seemed abnormal, Consort Jin still couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Before she could figure out where her anxiety came from, Yuyan and the others returned.

Without giving Yuyan a chance to speak, Taohong held up a plate in her hand. She said to Side Consort Hu, “My lady, there was a plate of crab buns in Nanny Su’s room. When we found it, there was only one cold bun left. There were traces of residue still on the plate. It appears to be someone’s leftovers from a meal.”

When he heard this, Doctor Liu looked over. “If it was crab, that would explain the rashes on the princess’s face. This type of food could cause all kinds of ailments, especially for babies. So, crabs are a big no-no for pregnant women. For those who are breastfeeding the baby, it is also forbidden. It seems like the princess’s rashes were caused by crabs.”

Side Consort Hu looked at Yaoniang with a cold smile on her face. “What else can you say? As the wet nurse of a princess, there are many foods you are forbidden to eat. Yet you couldn’t restrain yourself and privately ate it. Servants come! Throw this servant out!”

Yaoniang was stunned by the discovery of the crab buns. She had no idea how the buns came to be in her room.

But she was very self-aware and knew how much trouble she was in. She knew that someone had deliberately planted the buns to frame her. But she had no proof that she didn’t eat the buns. All the evidence showed that she was the culprit.

Now, what should she do?

She couldn’t help but look at the other servants that worked in the courtyard with her. They all avoided her gaze.

It was just as she’d expected. With all the evidence provided, who would be willing to speak up for her?

Yaoniang’s heart fell. Actually, there was still someone who could help her. But she didn’t dare to even look at him.

Ever since Jin Wang arrived, Yaoniang didn’t dare to look into his eyes.

It was probably from a feeling of inferiority. She was also scared others would find out about their relationship. Now she still doesn’t dare to look at him, but it was from a different type of inferiority.

It was inferiority from lack of self-confidence and uncertainty.

She was only a servant. How could she compare with Side Consort Hu, much less the little princess who was Jin Wang’s only child?

It was impossible for Jin Wang to protect her.

Yaoniang’s impression of Jin Wang from her last life was imprinted deeply in her mind. She understood that the man in the bed and the man off the bed were two completely different people.

She was only a plaything.

These kinds of thoughts were too deeply rooted and were always at the back of Yaoniang’s mind. But ever since she started sleeping with Jin Wang she did her best to avoid them.

She didn’t want to think about it. This way, she could still have the illusion that he somewhat liked her.

It didn’t matter where the source of his liking was from.

True, Jin Wang was a little different in this lifetime, but Yaoniang always believed that people couldn’t easily change. Let alone someone as cold-hearted as Jin Wang.

Jin Wang in her previous life also acted dotingly towards her. But as time went by, she realized it was all in her mind.

To put it bluntly, Jin Wang only used her to warm his bed.

This was why Yaoniang didn’t dare to look at Jin Wang. She was scared of seeing something she didn’t want to see.

She was a poor person who had nothing. With nothing in her pockets, she couldn’t afford to gamble. She would rather not take her chances.

Jin Wang frowned. He stared at the woman whose head hung down as if she had given up all resistance.

He was sitting right there. Why didn’t she ask for his help?

Does she not trust him? It had already progressed to such a stage but she still didn’t want to expose their relationship! Did she feel ashamed from sleeping with him? Was her dead husband more important to her? Was she coming up with ways to leave the manor so she would rather be punished instead of…

Seeing the red handprint on her swollen face, Jin Wang felt irritated inside.

His expression chilled.

Fucheng looked at him, but he didn’t say anything.

Consort Jin’s brows furrowed deeper, but she also didn’t say anything.

It seemed like the matter had come to an end. Side Consort Hu’s people came up to grab Yaoniang. But at this moment Side Consort Hu spoke up again.

“Wait.”

Everyone turned their gazes toward her again. Consort Jin’s pupils shrunk when she realized that Side Consort Hu was looking at her.

“She is a wet nurse and she knows that crabs are taboo to eat, but she still secretly ate them. The manor is strict. How could a wet nurse like her be able to get her hands on something like crab?” Side Consort Hu faced Consort Jin with a sharp light in her gorgeous eyes. “Your highness, this wet nurse was sent to the princess’s side by you. Don’t you have anything to explain?”

After she said this she seemed to have lost all her strength. She stumbled at Jin Wang’s feet and started to weep. “Your highness, you have to get justice for this concubine and the princess! It was clearly the Consort that wished to harm the princess. She simply borrowed the hand of the wet nurse!”
