Ye Yunniang was stunned; wealthy people were playing such extravagant games.
He opened his mouth to speak, only to find a foreign object in his mouth. He mumbled incoherently, struggling to speak with his tongue.
Jiang Mingzhe took the opportunity to withdraw his finger and gently slide it across Ye Yunniang's chin, applying a slight pressure.
Ye Yunniang was forced to tilt her head back, becoming a delicious meal offered to her, to be enjoyed by others.
An unprecedented feeling overwhelmed Ye Yunniang. It filled her with both fear and a touch of anticipation. Her legs went weak, she could barely stand, and she leaned heavily on Jiang Mingzhe, letting him do as he pleased.
My head felt heavy and I felt like I couldn't breathe.
"Breathe." A deep, husky voice exploded in Ye Yunniang's ears.
Realizing what was happening, she wanted to leave Jiang Mingzhe's embrace, but then remembered that she was in the wrong place.
She could only plead silently for Jiang Mingzhe to let her go.
But Ye Yunniang didn't know that at this moment she was forced to tilt her head back, revealing her slender, fair, and vulnerable neck.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked as pitiful as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The man before her was stimulating, fueling her deepest lust.
Jiang Mingzhe applied a little force and lifted Ye Yunniang up to his eye level.
"Ye Yunniang, I've decided to have you."
Ye Yunniang was once again drawn into the vortex of lust, unaware of when the people outside would leave.
When she regained consciousness, she had already returned to Zhiyuxuan.
After washing herself clean, Ye Yunniang lay on the bed, silently shedding tears.
She betrayed Li Jun.
Although it had happened a few times before, those were in dreams. Ye Yunniang could say that she was unconscious.
But this time, she was consciously sinking into depravity, though she hadn't reached the final step.
But this time, it was a huge shock to Ye Yunniang.
Ye Yunniang covered her eyes. She didn't know how to face Cai Damei.
She had only been faithful to Li Jun for a year and a half, and now she was breaking her vows of womanhood.
Overwhelmed with self-blame and remorse, Ye Yunniang couldn't hold back her tears. But she dared not cry out loud, for fear of being discovered.
Ye Yunniang was consumed by the betrayal and became silent. Every day, besides taking care of Jiang Tingjun, she spent her time learning to read and write.
Ye Yunniang's silence was noticed by everyone in Zhiyuxuan and the small courtyard.
They thought Ye Yunniang was upset because Tao Hong had received praise from Madam Jiang and was offered the position of Jiang Tingjun's wet nurse.
Ye Yunniang knew she wasn't guilty, but she couldn't bring herself to explain why, so she could only acquiesce.
Madam Jiang heard these discussions and agreed to let her go home to see her family.
Ye Yunniang was afraid to go back, but she had no choice but to obey her master's orders.
Pear was called by Peach Blossom to do some work.
Ye Yunniang returned to Wanxia Lane alone, carrying her bundle.
When Cai Damei opened the door, she knew at a glance that something had happened to Ye Yunniang.
They entrusted Pan'er to the neighbor next door for help in looking after her.
Cai Damei pulled Ye Yunniang back to the bedroom. "What happened?"
Ye Yunniang bit her lower lip, unsure of what to say.
"Hurry up and tell me, you're going to drive your mother crazy with worry!" Cai Damei urged.
Ye Yunniang knelt down with a thud, "Mother, I'm so sorry!"
Cai Damei's face turned pale as she thought of something. "Who bullied you? Mother will go and settle accounts with them." With that, Cai Damei walked out.
Ye Yunniang grabbed Cai Damei's leg, preventing her from leaving.
"You won't let me go? Tell me what happened?" Cai Damei helped Ye Yunniang up.
Ye Yunniang sobbed as she recounted what had happened.
After hearing this, Cai Damei said, "You should resign and come back. We won't go to the Jiang residence anymore."
"No," Ye Yunniang disagreed. "Mother, I'll work for a few more months. I'll leave when the young master no longer needs a wet nurse, and I can at least get 10 taels of silver back."
The fourth madam is very generous; she'll definitely give some more later.
Ye Yunniang explained her plans.
“I’ll keep the money and jewelry you brought back. That’s enough for us to live on for a few years. When I have time, I’ll sew some insoles and sell them at your aunt’s shop. I can earn about 3.50 coins a month that way.”
"Mother, you've worked so hard taking care of Pan'er. Don't stay up all night sewing insoles." Ye Yunniang felt sorry for her, and her resolve strengthened as she decided to stay at the Jiang residence until the end of the year.
Cai Damei grasped Ye Yunniang's shoulders with both hands, making Ye Yunniang look into her eyes.
"Tell your mother the truth, do you have feelings for that second master of the Jiang family?"
Ye Yunniang shook her head vigorously. She didn't. She was only afraid of Jiang Mingzhe.
"Are you nostalgic for the life of luxury in the Jiang family mansion?" Cai Damei asked again.
"No, I just want to earn more money to bring back." Ye Yunniang felt that if she resigned now, she would take away dozens of taels of silver from her home.
"Mother, in my heart, home is where you and Pan'er are."
Cai Damei breathed a sigh of relief. "Yunniang, do you remember what I told you? Women also have desires, right?"
Ye Yunniang blushed as she recalled what Cai Damei had said.
"Listen to your mother, use Second Master Jiang as a cure for your desires."
"Mother!" Ye Yunniang was stunned; she hadn't expected Cai Damei to say such a thing.
“The army has been gone for a year and a half. You’ve guarded him for so long, that’s enough.” Ye Yunniang went to work as a wet nurse at the Jiang family, and Cai Damei inquired about the Jiang family quite a bit, both openly and secretly.
I've met Jiang Mingzhe twice by chance; he's quite good-looking. I've also heard a lot of rumors about him.
That kind of man wanted Ye Yunniang. They couldn't resist. Rather than tearing things apart, it was better to be a little softer, which would also help them out of their predicament.
Cai Damei stared intently at Ye Yunniang, "There's only one thing, Yunniang, you have to promise me."
"What?"
"We cannot keep the child."
"Mother, I..." Ye Yunniang didn't know what to say.
"Yunniang, you must remember this. Once you have a child, it will be very, very difficult for you to leave the Jiang family. It will also be very troublesome for you to remarry later."
Ye Yunniang is still young; it would be too difficult for her to be a widow for the rest of her life. Cai Damei hopes she can remarry a good man.
It's not a big deal if someone has had one, two, or even more men before remarrying.
Cai Damei then told Ye Yunniang a lot about contraception.
These were all things Ye Yunniang had never encountered before.
Ye Yunniang listened shyly.
After Cai Damei finished speaking, she continued to comfort Ye Yunniang, "Yunniang, life is short. Don't think too much about things you shouldn't."
"Mother, can you do that too?" Ye Yunniang couldn't help but ask.
"Not necessarily." Cai Damei did not give a clear answer.
Her relationship with Pan'er's grandfather was different from her relationship with Ye Yunniang and Li Jun.
They shared a bed for 19 years and had a deep bond. It would be difficult to find someone better than him.
Although Ye Yunniang and Li Jun had known each other since childhood, they rarely met. They only spent two days together after their marriage. They had almost no affection for each other.
With her inner conflict resolved, Ye Yunniang was in the mood to talk about other things. She opened her bundle and took out 200 taels of silver from her clothes.
Before Cai Damei could ask, he told her the story of how he got the money.
Upon hearing this, Cai Damei went to get the talisman she had obtained a few days earlier. "I specially went to Baiyun Temple to get this for you. Wear it on your body."
Ye Yunniang took it and kept it close to her body.
"Mother, take this money and use it to buy a house. Then we can finally settle down in Jiangcheng."
Cai Damei touched the silver ingot and agreed, "Okay."
A house that belongs entirely to oneself brings greater peace of mind.
"Yunniang, what do you think of this rented house?"
