Peach Blossom.

Tao Ye cursed silently in her heart: Go to his sister’s drawer, it hurts so much that my whole body hurts!

It was impossible to hide it anymore, so Tao Ye had to answer, "It's me."

Wang Jing recognized the voice, so he sat up and put on his clothes: "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

"I...I want to see you..." Tao Ye really couldn't think of any other reason and could only make up this nonsense.

After opening the small drawer, she found it was empty. It was such a waste of effort. She stuffed it back into the closet in the dark, then patted herself and walked towards Wang Jing.

Wang Jing lit the lamp and looked Tao Ye up and down: "Did you fall again just now?"

Taoye nodded.

"Since you're here, come over and talk!" Wang Jing patted the edge of the bed, motioning Tao Ye to come closer.

Tao Ye sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Wang Jing sitting in the quilt. She felt embarrassed and couldn't think of what to say.

Wang Jing moved further into the bed, pulling his pillow inside, then took out another pillow and placed it outside, saying to Tao Ye, "If you feel cold, come up and sit."

"No...not cold." Tao Ye smiled a little unnaturally.

When Wang Jing moved the pillow, Tao Ye clearly saw that there was a key under his pillow before, and now it was pressed under the new pillow.

Tao Ye's mind was suddenly filled with a thousand thoughts. If she had known that the key was placed in such a simple place, why would she have bothered to open those irrelevant drawers?

Wang Jing looked at Tao Ye and asked with a smile, "It was pitch dark just now, why didn't you light a lamp or call me?"

"I look at every corner of this house and feel that everything and everyone has changed." Tao Ye lowered his head, showing a hint of sadness.

She thought that this sentence and this expression could not be wrong.

Wang Jing sighed.

A period of silence followed, and Tao Ye did not dare to break it easily. The two of them being alone at such a close distance was the easiest time to reveal the truth.

After a while, Wang Jingxian spoke up: "My mother asked me to thank you on her behalf. Thank you for putting aside the past grudges and cooperating with them to cover up the lie in front of the princess."

Tao Ye knew that Wang Jing was talking about Wang Yi, and couldn't help but whisper in her heart: "I don't want to help your mother, who is a person who changes with the wind!"

Wang Jing seemed to understand something from Tao Ye's eyes: "I know you are blaming my mother for being a traitor and only favoring the princess."

"Ah? How do you know?" Tao Ye couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jing laughed and said, "If you can't even see this, then I have spent eight years with you in vain, right?"

Tao Ye was very depressed. She wanted to say, "You can't even tell the real wife from the fake one. I think you really wasted eight years!"

Wang Jing sighed again, looked at Tao Ye, and began to lobby for his mother: "You may not know that on the day the princess married, although mother was angry about your behavior, she still used her own method to dissuade the princess from going to the palace to complain. In fact, she always wanted to protect you! It's difficult to be the mistress of the house. She has to calm the princess's anger to prevent you from being hurt more. She can only hurt you first for the princess. Do you understand?"

Tao Ye listened and felt that it made some sense, but she didn't want to appreciate it.

Wang Jing added: "Mother feels guilty about you, and she asked me to tell you that as long as the princess doesn't cause any trouble, she will still treat you well as before."

Tao Ye rolled her eyes and accidentally said, "You said that as if she was so nice to me in the past!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Ye regretted it immediately. How could she dare to talk about Mantang Jiao's past?

She looked at Wang Jing, who just smiled helplessly: "I admit that mother has always been partial to my eldest sister-in-law, but that's only because she is her good helper. She often says that my eldest sister-in-law is blessed with both a son and a daughter. Such words are bound to hurt you. But she also understands that you were injured in the difficult labor when you gave birth to Yu'er, so that you can't have children later. It's not your fault. But there are always people who like to gossip about you not having a son, and mother can't stop them!"

Tao Ye understood the reason and started to mock Wang Jing: "I can't give birth to a son, but someone next door is eager to give birth to one for you! Once the baby is born, it will be as precious as gold and jade!"

"You are so sour, you are almost jealous!" Wang Jing couldn't help laughing, and whispered in Tao Ye's ear: "I swear to God, I won't touch anyone except you."

Tao Ye felt uneasy when she heard this. She looked at Wang Jing's handsome face and vaguely felt that there was some alluring scent in the air, which made the two of them get closer.

At this time, Wang Jing gently hugged Tao Ye from the side, and Tao Ye's heart was pounding.

Tao Ye always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to find out an answer: "Do you... do you feel... that I am different now than before?"

“There are a lot of differences.”

Taoye was stunned.

Wang Jing added: "But deep down, I haven't changed."

Tao Ye was stunned again.

Wang Jing gently kissed Tao Ye's cheek, kissing the scar left by the hairpin: "I know the cause of your wound, it is the same as my foot..."

Tao Ye felt even more depressed and curious. She wished she could know what was going on with Wang Jing's foot immediately!

She asked tentatively again: "What...what do you like about me?"

Wang Jing smiled and said, "I like everything about it."

"I... I want to hear something more specific. What am I like in your heart..." Tao Ye really wanted to give a clear hint, but if she made it clear, then what kind of hint would it still be?

Wang Jing held Tao Ye in his arms, rocking her back and forth, his voice also rocking back and forth: "I like the way you never get enough sleep, your hair is disheveled, your face is covered with saliva, and you can't tell the difference between day and night... I also like the way you try to get up early for our daughter, and then hope that she will give you a chance to take a nap..."

Tao Ye glanced at Wang Jing in shock, wondering: Is he talking about Mantang Jiao or Tao Ye?

Wang Jing was immersed in memories, still with a slight smile on his face: "I like that you are straightforward, you say whatever comes to your mind, and you take action when you are unhappy. You just go your own way, and whoever wants to talk can talk... I also like that you try hard to adapt to the life in this big house for me, and sometimes you have to compromise... But in my heart, I can't bear to see you suffer even the slightest bit of grievance..."

Tao Ye turned her head once again and looked at Wang Jing in disbelief.

"I also like the fact that you always have sudden and creative ideas. You always do incredible things from time to time, which sometimes surprise me and sometimes scare me. It makes me feel that every day is so interesting!" Wang Jing also looked at Tao Ye from the side, with a poetic and frustrated smile on his face.

Under the dim light, Tao Ye had a fantasy. If she had lost her memory before coming to the Wang family, when she heard these words at this moment, she would definitely think that she was Mantangjiao!

Wang Jing hugged her tighter: "I really like you, I really hope to go back to the past... the simple happiness between you and me, the days when no one disturbed us..."

Tao Ye felt sour in her heart, she didn't know whether she was touched or jealous.

Something was inevitable. Tao Ye completely forgot the original purpose of coming here, and only remembered the throbbing in his heart at the moment.

As for when she fell asleep, Tao Ye had no recollection of it at all. She only felt that she slept very deeply. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn. She saw Wang Jing was wiping her saliva with a handkerchief.

Tao Ye realized that she had slept here all night, and hurriedly sat up and dressed: "It's over! I actually left Yu'er alone in the room for a whole night?"

"You don't have to worry, she has already gone to school." Wang Jing smiled.

"Ah?" Tao Ye touched his forehead and silently felt that he was too outrageous...

She had made plans for many days, but when the crucial moment came, she did nothing but took a nap. Not only did she completely forget about stealing the keys, she even forgot about routine things like taking care of the children!

This was all because she was seduced by Wang Jing's charming appearance and shocked by his words last night, and then lost herself... She felt a little regretful, regretting that she had poor self-control, impersonating someone else's identity, and possessing someone who did not belong to her. This was clearly a deception! It was really immoral!

When she looked up at Wang Jing again, she felt ashamed and quickly put on her shoes and said goodbye: "I'm going back first."

"Your hair is a little messy. Comb it before going out?" Wang Jing immediately picked up the comb.

"No need, I'll go back and comb my hair..." Tao Ye ran across the courtyard in a panic with her hair disheveled, and ran back to her room.

Several servants who were sweeping the floor and watering the flowers in the yard were a little surprised when they saw this scene.

Ruxia, the maid guarding the door for Si Yao, was even more shocked when she saw this. She quickly ran in to report to Si Yao: "Princess, Miss Man seemed to have slept in the prince consort's room last night..."

"What?" Si Yao widened his eyes and broke the chopsticks he was using to eat into two pieces.

Several maids were startled.

Tao Ye returned to her room, which was empty. She closed the door tightly, leaned against it with her back, and could clearly hear her own heartbeat, it was beating so fast!

She tried to calm down, and vaguely heard a noise from the drawer in the corner. She knew that Chen Jibai must have been waiting all night and was getting impatient.

She took out the mirror and saw Chen Ji appear in the mirror: "Aunt! Didn't we agree last night to get back to you after we got the key? Where have you been? It's already daybreak!"

"I... I didn't get the key..." Tao Ye's heart was still beating fast.

Chen Ji smiled helplessly: "If you didn't get it, then you didn't get it. You should at least tell me! I stayed up all night waiting for your news, and I was worried that something had happened to you!"

"I'm sorry... I accidentally fell asleep last night, and slept all night..." Tao Ye didn't dare to say that she slept in Wang Jing's room. She thought that she and Chen Ji were definitely not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but for some reason she was still afraid that he would know.

Chen Ji was shocked: "Oh my God! You really can "forget everything after sleeping"! I am really impressed by you!"

"I'll go again tonight... I promise I won't fall asleep!" Tao Ye smiled and tried hard to act normal.

Tao Ye thought, she already knew the exact location of the key, it would be easy to get it tonight, there shouldn't be any more trouble!

Although she felt ashamed and embarrassed by what happened last night, she still had to deliver the meal. Otherwise, how would she complete the remaining delivery task?

When it was almost noon, Tao Ye pretended to go to the small kitchen in the yard to cook, then put the empty plates and bowls into the lunch box. She still passed by the ancient tree, put down the lunch box, picked up the lunch box, and walked towards Wang Jing's room.

Unexpectedly, the maid Ruxia stopped Taoye on the way and said, "Princess, I heard that Miss Man is an excellent cook and I admire her very much. Why don't you give her the lunch today?"
