The carriage slowly made its way to a small courtyard.

Jiang Mingzhe carried Ye Yunniang down from the carriage and into the courtyard.

"I'll wash myself." Ye Yunniang reached out and pushed Jiang Mingzhe, who wanted to personally help her wash up, out of the room.

"You still have the strength?" Jiang Mingzhe's question made Ye Yunniang glare at him.

Who is responsible for her lack of strength?

Jiang Mingzhe wasn't angry at being glared at; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. He sensed a change in Ye Yunniang's attitude towards him.

"I won't do anything reckless." The more Jiang Mingzhe said this, the less Ye Yunniang believed him.

"I can do it myself," Ye Yunniang reiterated, her attitude clear.

Knock, knock, knock... A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Jiang Chuan, standing outside, didn't want to knock on the door and disturb his master's good time. But strangely, it was urgent.

"Sir, something terrible has happened."

"Go out and take a look quickly," Ye Yunniang urged Jiang Mingzhe, hearing the anxious voices outside.

Jiang Mingzhe's relaxed and cheerful expression vanished, and he kissed Ye Yunniang on the cheek. "Wait for me to come back."

The door was closed again. Ye Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief and walked behind the screen.

Beyond the screen, I was surprised to find that the entire room was a bathroom.

I squatted down and touched the water; the temperature was just right.

Ye Yunniang took a hot bath and felt very sleepy.

After getting dressed, I was led to the bedroom by a maid, and I had just lain down when...

A faint sobbing sound could be heard.

It was Jiang Tingjun crying.

Her drowsiness vanished instantly. Ye Yunniang pushed open the door and followed the sound of crying into the front hall.

Jiang Tingjun woke up to find no one familiar and burst into tears…

The maids tried to coax her, but she wouldn't listen. However, Jiang Mingzhe instructed them not to disturb Ye Yunniang.

They could only try to coax her.

"Give me the young master." Ye Yunniang entered the hall and reached out to Jiang Tingjun.

Jiang Tingjun lunged at Ye Yunniang, tightly embracing her neck for safety.

Ye Yunniang wanted to sit down while holding Jiang Tingjun.

My buttocks hurt as soon as I sat down.

"Grandma, Grandma," Jiang Tingjun urged, hungry.

"Young master, let's go back inside to eat."

Ye Yunniang coaxed Jiang Tingjun back to the room, lay down, and breastfed him on her side.

Jiang Tingjun drank the milk in big gulps, biting hard.

"Ouch, that hurts." Ye Yunniang whispered, reaching out to pat Jiang Tingjun's bottom.

"Young master, be gentle."

Jiang Tingjun drank in large gulps. After a while, he closed his eyes, wanting to sleep.

Ye Yunniang stepped back and left.

Jiang Tingjun was unwilling and made two whimpers, still wanting to eat.

She took a couple of sips of milk and then fell asleep again.

Ye Yunniang knew that Jiang Tingjun was afraid and couldn't sleep well.

I hummed a lullaby and patted his back.

As the song played, Jiang Tingjun fell into a deep sleep, his mouth opening.

Ye Yunniang carefully laid Jiang Tingjun down, letting him sleep alone.

After fastening her clothes, Ye Yunniang stepped back, but she had to be careful of the injury on her buttocks. Before she knew it, she fell off the bed.

She landed on her bottom, feeling a sharp pain that made her want to scream, but she was afraid of waking Jiang Tingjun, so she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and crawled out.

Jiang Mingzhe pushed the door open and came in, seeing Ye Yunniang writhing and crawling on the ground.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Yunniang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jiang Mingzhe, realizing that everyone was wrong about her actions.

Jiang Mingzhe stepped forward, picked up Ye Yunniang, and carried her to the next room.

Ye Yunniang's buttocks hurt, so she lay face down on the bed.

Jiang Mingzhe brought over some ointment to apply to Ye Yunniang.

Ye Yunniang struggled, "I can do it myself, you don't need to."

Ye Yunniang's strength was no match for Jiang Mingzhe's. She cleaned him up and applied the medicine.

But as they were applying the ointment, their movements changed...

Soon, the room was filled with intermittent moans from a woman and low panting from a man.

Ye Yunniang woke up the next day.

Worried about Jiang Tingjun, Ye Yunniang quickly got up.

My back started to hurt, and I fell back onto the bed.

"Ah." Forgetting about her injured bottom, she rolled over and lay face down.

When I turned over, I noticed that my body was covered in bruises.

Last night, everything replayed in Ye Yunniang's mind. She also experienced the true joy of intimacy that Cai Damei had described. It was just too intense; she couldn't bear it.

After recovering, Ye Yunniang went to see Jiang Tingjun.

Jiang Tingjun had already woken up, and Jiang Mingzhe was holding him and playing with him.

Jiang Mingzhe's skillful movements surprised Ye Yunniang.

"Surprised?" Jiang Mingzhe laughed. "Those nights, you were asleep. I was the one taking care of Xiao Liu."

At first, Ye Yunniang didn't understand what it meant. She went over the words in her mind before she understood.

"You!" Ye Yunniang was shocked, those nights.

She thought it was a dream, that it was because of her own lack of self-control, but it turned out that it was all caused by the man in front of her.

Ye Yunniang was very angry and furious, but she couldn't do anything about it when she saw Jiang Mingzhe holding the child.

"I want to go back to the Jiang residence." Ye Yunniang felt she could no longer stay with Jiang Mingzhe; he was too calculating.

"Two human traffickers escaped. You and Xiao Liu will have to stay here for two days."

Ye Yunniang wasn't sure if Jiang Mingzhe was telling the truth. She only knew that Jiang Mingzhe had disappeared since the day before yesterday.

Two days later, Jin Huifang came with people to pick them up and take them back.

"Jun'er, Mother has come to take you. My child, you have suffered so much." Overwhelmed with emotion at having found him again, Jin Huifang hugged Jiang Tingjun tightly.

Her son almost died.

That bitch almost succeeded.

Ye Yunniang stepped forward and bowed, "Yunniang greets Madam."

“You saved Jun’er’s life. That’s the same as saving my life, Jin Huifang. Ye Yunniang, I, Jin Huifang, will definitely repay you.”

Jin Huifang knew that Ye Yunniang had accidentally discovered human traffickers, risked her own safety to follow them, and had been taking care of her son.

Jin Huifang was very grateful to Ye Yunniang.

“It is my duty to save the young master. Since I entered the Jiang family, you have treated me very well.” Ye Yunniang saved the young master without expecting anything in return.

Jin Huifang was pleased with Ye Yunniang's sincere words. However, repaying her kindness was necessary.

Jin Huifang carried Jiang Tingjun and led Ye Yunniang back to the Jiang residence.

It was only then that Ye Yunniang learned that the small courtyard where she lived was outside Jiangcheng.

It took most of the day to reach the city gate of Jiangcheng by horse-drawn carriage.

With proper arrangements made, the Jiang family carriage entered the city without stopping. They arrived at the side gate of the Jiang family residence.
