Chapter 491 The Time Has Come
The Prince of Nanguan has investigated the Tao family thoroughly these days, and has not left out any of Tao Yiran's affairs. He even discovered that she is a fellow traveler. After meeting her several times, he found that their ways are similar, which greatly increased his interest.
In his opinion, Tao Yiran went to the wrong place. She could either go to the harem and compete with the women there, but he thought that this path would not be smooth because she was not good at scheming. Therefore, the most suitable place for her was in a brothel. She would surely become an unsurpassed courtesan in ten years with her skills and appearance and would be sought after by countless people. If she was more talented and could leave behind a few verses with some integrity, she might become a talented woman respected by those Confucian scholars.
Tao Yiran didn't know what he was thinking, she just looked up and admired the scenery in the garden, "In front of me is the noisy theater, but in the blink of an eye it is this quiet place, a different world."
"Is this the property of the prince?"
The Prince of Nanguang said that it was specially built for her. "Madam is stunningly beautiful and talented. I admire her, but I regret that we met at the wrong time. I can't forget the music of your piano after hearing it. My heart also breeds selfish desires. I always want to hear your piano music often, so I built this house."
"I cannot help myself. If I have offended you, Madam, please understand."
From "young lady" to "madam", the difference of one word sounded different to Tao Yiran. Her cheeks were slightly red at this moment. She was shy in astonishment, but also a little happy in shyness. Prince Nanguang could not help but sigh that he had met his match. His belly was even hotter. "Madam, let's talk in the pavilion."
There is a secret world inside the pavilion covered with light gauze. There are no ordinary chairs, but instead there are Luohan beds that can be sat on or laid down on, as well as a piano stand, soft stools and an ice basin.
When Tao Yiran saw the Luohan bed, her eyes flickered slightly, and she seemed to have something in mind and even a little bit uneasy. The Prince of Nanguang looked normal, and walked in first with a smile, "Ordinary chairs are too tacky, but this Luohan bed can be used for sitting or lying. In the future, when Madam comes to relieve her boredom, there is also a place to rest."
"Of course, this courtyard also has bedrooms, but I think taking a nap here amidst the flowers will make my dreams more beautiful."
"Ma'am, please come in."
Tao Yiran walked in confidently. Prince Nanguang's eyes were full of smiles. Today was full of tests. The fact that he walked in showed that she no longer had much resistance in her heart.
"This zither was specially found by the king. It is a treasured possession of the great zither maker Liu Ye. Madam, would you like to try the sound of this zither?"
Tao Yiran stroked the strings lightly, her fingertips slightly hooked, and a cool and clean sound rang out, "It's a really good piano."
The Prince of Nanguang sat in front of the zither with a smile, "Before, Madam played the zither for me. Today, it is my turn to play the zither for you. I hope you can give me some pointers."
The pleasant and lingering sound of the piano slipped out from between her fingers. As soon as Tao Yiran heard it, she knew that it was a song expressing lovesickness. She walked slowly to the Arhat bed and sat down. A faint sweet fragrance rose from the small incense burner, which made her feel happy. Her eyes fell on the man playing the piano. He had an outstanding appearance and was so attentive, it was hard not to like him.
Perhaps it was because the sound of the piano was so beautiful, or perhaps it was because of the sweet fragrance that made people intoxicated, but before the song was over, Tao Yiran's eyes were filled with emotion. She leaned slightly against the coffee table, supporting her chin with one hand, revealing half of her delicate and snow-white forearm. A white jade bracelet made her wrist look even more delicate. Her clothes were slightly loose, and the peony was faintly visible.
The music stopped, and the Prince of Nanguang turned around, his Adam's apple sliding. How could he control himself against such a beauty? "Madam, are you tired?"
He walked forward slowly, his voice low, and bent down to meet those beautiful eyes, "But my piano skills are unbearable?"
Tao Yiran raised her lips slightly, exhaling as sweet as orchid, "The prince's zither skills are even better than mine, it makes me intoxicated."
The two looked at each other, their eyes were drawn, and the Prince of Nanguang knew that the time had come. He raised his hand and gently stroked Tao Yiran's cheek, "Madam's beauty is so addictive. Every time I think of it, I can't help but feel restless. I wish I could..."
Seeing that Tao Yiran did not refuse, he leaned forward and kissed Tao Yiran on the lips, "I wish I could hold you in my arms and love you so much."
Tao Yiran had never been close to a man since she became pregnant. How could she withstand the provocation of the Prince of Nanguang? She raised her hand and hooked the belt of the man opposite her. "Yiran loves the Prince, but I regret that I am not here at the right time and cannot be with you."
The collar of his clothes fell off, and the enchanting peony stimulated the eyes of the Prince of Nanguang. His breathing became rapid and he could no longer think about it. He quickly took away the tea table that was in the way of the Luohan bed and then stepped forward to press the man under him, "The prince finally got what he wanted."
The wind blows the gauze, and the fragrance of all flowers is not as good as the beauty in the pavilion. The cicadas on the branches are chirping, and the beauty in the pavilion is singing softly. All the flowers are facing the scorching sun, and the beauty is like a lonely boat on the sea, and can only cling to the life-saving driftwood. "Replying to the old lady, the eldest young lady's wife is not in the mansion. The maid in Chunhua Courtyard said that the eldest young lady went out to watch a play."
It was almost noon, and the old lady thought that since there were only two granddaughters-in-law in the house and Xin An was with her, she should let Tao Yiran come for lunch as well.
"My sister-in-law has been out a lot lately. I don't know what play is so good."
Xin An began to pave the way for Tao Yiran's affair after it was exposed, "But since my eldest brother is not at home, my eldest sister-in-law will have a much better life if she has a hobby."
Even so, the old lady still didn't like it. It was because her husband was away that she had to stay at home and avoid gossip. How could she go out all the time? "Then we will have lunch together at noon."
After Xin An spoke up for Wang, the old lady had some opinions about her. She even speculated that Wang was unwilling to swallow her anger because Xin An was behind it. Later, she asked Gan Lu to investigate and found that it had nothing to do with Xin An, so she gave up.
"Have you visited Nuer in the past two days?"
"No."

Xin An sat at the dinner table. "I like Nuer very much, too. I used to go to see him all the time. Later, when Nuer got sick, I realized whether he was the eldest wife's child or Aunt Yu's. I always had to consider the eldest sister-in-law's feelings."
"My sister-in-law and I have long forgotten what happened. We will still be together for many years. Although she doesn't care about worldly things, she is the elder sister-in-law. For the sake of the peace and tranquility of the mansion, I have to pay more attention. Even if I like you so much, I can't go there all the time."
The old lady likes to hear these words, and she won’t suffer any loss if she says a few more words. Besides, this is also true in general.
The old lady was really happy. In her opinion, it was the best thing that Xin An was willing to take a step back. She immediately reassured Xin An, "Even if your sister-in-law is the boss in the mansion in the future, all matters in the mansion are still in your hands. Your sister-in-law is a bit weak, so you need to take more care of her."
Xin An smiled and said, "When that time comes, grandma will have to protect me more."
The old lady smiled and put a piece of fish on her plate, "I'm afraid my grandmother won't be around by then."
"Grandmother is blessed with great fortune. She will surely live a long life."
