Chapter Fifteen (Part 3 of 3)


The horse carriage traveled toward the Yan Manor .

Inside the horse carriage Pei Jin kissed Yan Shi Ning . Instead of tasting her, he tasted makeup . ‘Wife, why do you need to wear makeup to visit your family?’

Yan Shi Ning glared at Pei Jin . Of course she needed to wear makeup to protect herself . She decided to wear makeup on her body at night too that way he wouldn’t dare kiss her impulsively .

Yan Shi Ning remembered last night mouthy boy crawled under her undergarments and he bit sensitive spots on her body . She blushed and considered putting sleeping powder on her face at night too .

The Yan Manor wasn’t far away from Pei Jin’s manor, about half a shichen hour by horse carriage .

Pei Jin and Yan Shi Ning were greeted by loud fireworks at the Yan Manor entrance .

Yan Jing saw how Pei Jin treated his oldest daughter lovingly and he smiled faster than he could say what a good son-in-law .

Princess Kang Hua hated seeing how Pei Jin loved Yan Shi Ning, but she smiled politely .

Earlier in the morning Yan Shi Ting ordered a maid to put makeup on her and fussed for a long time to choose earrings compatible with her dress . But Pei Jin only nodded to greet her politely . Like in the past his attention was never focused on her . Even the cold and arrogant seventh prince wanted to gain her favour, but Pei Jin would always ignore her .



Yan Shi Ting almost vomited blood after seeing Pei Jin doted on Yan Shi Ning as though Yan Shi Ning was a treasure .

Yan Shi Ting wanted to protest . What did Yan Shi Ning possess that she didn’t? She looked resentfully at Pei Jin and Yan Shi Ning until she felt a sudden pain on her arm . It was her mother who whispered a warning to her, ‘maintain your image properly . ’

Yan Shi Ting hugged her pinched arm, pouted and followed her mother into the Yan Manor .

Everyone sat in the courtyard and gossiped while the celebratory banquet food and wine were prepared .

Yan Jing led the conversation and it gave Yan Shi Ning a headache, her father gossiped about court official Liu Guo . Although it was an inappropriate conversation, her father, Princess Kang Hua and Yan Shi Ting didn’t care about her family life with Pei Jin . After Pei Jin answered her father politely, everyone quietly drank tea for a while .

Pei Jin smiled and purposely peeled a fruit to neutralize conversation . ‘This is a fruit from Southern Jiang . I eat it often . ’

Yan Jing’s heart was deeply moved . He knew his son-in-law was being considerate .

‘I heard the landscape in Southern Jiang is different to the imperial city,’ Yan Jing said . ‘Gentle ninth prince, tell us what Southern Jiang is like . ’

Everyone at the table sat upright and were interested to hear Pei Jin talk about the mysterious Southern Jiang .



Pei Jin could see everyone’s ears were sharpened . He passed the peeled fruit to Yan Shi Ning . Then he talked about life in Southern Jiang while occasionally smiling warmly at Yan Shi Ning .

Initially Yan Shi Ting was interested to hear Pei Jin talk about Southern Jiang . But she felt frustrated seeing Pei Jin’s consideration toward Yan Shi Ning . Even the fruits her maid peeled for her didn’t taste delicious .

Yan Shi Ning noticed Yan Shi Ting’s strange behaviour . She didn’t understand why it felt like Yan Shi Ting’s body released a sour stench . Yan Shi Ting’s eyes resentfully looked at her . She wondered if Yan Shi Ting was secretly intimate with Pei Jin . But in the past she never noticed anything shady between Yan Shi Ting and Pei Jin .

Yan Shi Ning looked suspiciously at Pei Jin . But Pei Jin always smiled warmly at her… she couldn’t tolerate the demon’s excessive loving act and she looked away .


Pei Jin noticed Yan Shi Ning’s anger gradually increased so he continued to lavish affectionate attention on her in front of her family .

After the banquet ended Yan Shi Ning and Pei Jin were resting in the chamber prepared for them .

‘Big brother, are you close to my little sister?’ Yan Shi Ning asked .

Pei Jin predicted Yan Shi Ning would ask him about Yan Shi Ting .

‘I’m not close to her,’ Pei Jin said .

‘Big brother, why do I feel the way my little sister looks at you is strange?’ Yan Shi Ning asked .

Pei Jin laughed . ‘Wife, you should understand her personality . ’

‘What?’ Yan Shi Ning asked confusedly .

‘Wife, come here and I’ll tell you,’ Pei Jin said .

Yan Shi Ning listened to Pei Jin talked about how in the past there was a period Yan Shi Ting followed him around to gain his favour . She thought in the past he would have found Yan Shi Ting’s attention scary and laughable .

Yan Shi Ning realised even the beautiful and haughty Yan Shi Ting didn’t want to be rejected by anyone . In the past Yan Shi Ning saw many men lower themselves beneath Yan Shi Ting’s dress, but Yan Shi Ting dismissed them . Yan Shi Ting was indeed haughty . If a man coldly dismissed Yan Shi Ting then Yan Shi Ting wouldn’t easily accept rejection . Instead Yan Shi Ting would use a thousand schemes to attract the man who didn’t want to pursue Yan Shi Ting . Yan Shi Ting was a natural seductress, which was why if Yan Shi Ting purposely seduced a man usually the man would fall into a deadly trance .

Yan Shi Ning knew that the rare man who wouldn’t be seduced by Yan Shi Ting was Pei Jin .

Yan Shi Ning thought that Yan Shi Ting’s life would have flowed smoothly until Yan Shi Ting met Pei Jin at a banquet in the palace and Yan Shi Ting got to taste failure . No matter if Yan Shi Ting wore a beautiful dress and makeup or ‘accidently’ touched Pei Jin inappropriately, Pei Jin wouldn’t glance at Yan Shi Ting . Yan Shi Ning could see in her head how frustrated Yan Shi Ting would have been to hear Pei Jin coldly warn, ‘respect yourself . ’

Yan Shi Ning remembered how Yan Shi Ting looked resentfully at her during the banquet and she smiled . ‘Big brother, were you excessively acting during the banquet to provoke my little sister?’

‘Wife, what do you think?’ Pei Jin asked and innocently looked at Yan Shi Ning .

In another chamber Princess Kang Hua scolded Yan Shi Ting . ‘Your behaviour is poorer by the day! Don’t forget, you’ll be the crown prince’s wife!’

‘What’s the point of being the crown prince’s wife?’ Yan Shi Ting asked . ‘The crown prince has always been cold toward me . He doesn’t care about me like the way ninth prince cares about Yan Shi Ning . The crown prince doesn’t love me!’

‘That’s because you’re lacking!’ Princess Kang Hua criticized . ‘Even if ninth prince is gentle and loving, he’s still a useless prince!’

Yan Shi Ting closed her mouth . She wished the crown prince was ninth prince . She didn’t understand why she wasn’t the one ninth prince cared about as though he held a grudge against her .

Princess Kang Hua’s old nurse maid knocked on the door and entered the chamber . ‘Princess, widow Li is here again . ’

Princess Kang Hua frowned and spoke softly . ‘I know . Bring her to my courtyard, I’ll go there first . ’

Yan Shi Ting watched them leave hurriedly and she thought it was strange . Who was widow Li? Why did nurse maid Liu speak in an anxious tone? Also, her mother’s expression was strange too . She suspected they were hiding a secret .
