[“I didn’t expect that you are the Eldest Prince of Wu Li, Your Highness!” Enthusiastically, Tang Yanmei responded to the young man sitting across from her after she heard the truth about the man’s status as Wu Li’s Eldest Prince. “When we first met six years ago, you were dressed like an ordinary person, and that’s why I thought you were the son of a merchant or farmer in Wu Li. I didn’t expect that you were a Prince. I apologize for my rudeness at that time, Your Highness.”

Wu Jinhai had indeed just revealed his true identity in front of the woman, and he did not expect that he would receive an apology from her at the end of her long reply.

The woman was telling the truth when she said that he was dressed like an ordinary person six years ago when he jumped into the river to kill himself. He was only nine years old at the time, but he was quite smart, and that was why he snuck out of the palace in shabby clothes so that no one could recognize him as the Eldest Prince in Wu Li Empire.

The distance between Wu Li Palace and the river was not close, but little Wu Jiang managed to reach the river after walking for half a day. However, he reached that place only to kill himself, and it was probably the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life.

He meant to look shabby so that no one would know his true identity, but he ended up receiving an apology from Tang Yanmei because of the misunderstanding at that time, and that was why he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

.....

“You don’t need to apologize to me, Lady Tang,” Wu Jinhai replied. “I don’t want people to bow their heads to me just because I’m a Prince in Wu Li, so you don’t have to feel guilty about how you treated me six years ago. After all, I was the one who had put your son in danger back then, and it’s normal for you to be angry with me.”

The two of them were sitting across from each other in a tavern, and there were already various dishes on the square table in front of them. Wu Jinhai had indeed felt hungry when he had just arrived at the market, but now his hunger was replaced by another feeling after he met the woman named Tang Yanmei, and that was why his hands had not touched the food.

Yes, that woman just revealed her name, and she also revealed that she was a concubine in Dong Lang Empire while ChenChen was a Prince there. Wu Jinhai was delighted when he found out that ChenChen was still alive to this day, and the child had even grown up as a Prince even if he looked like he was going to die six years ago.

Back then, he didn’t know ChenChen’s age, but he assumed that the boy was younger than him because the boy’s body was smaller than his. He thought that ChenChen was two or maybe three years younger than him, so the child was probably twelve or thirteen years old now.

“Aiyah! You also don’t need to respect me by addressing me like that, Your Highness,” Tang Yanmei replied with a bitter smile before she used her right hand to grab a cup of water from the table in front of her. “I was just a lowly prostitute in Wu Li before eventually becoming a concubine in Dong Lang, and that’s why you don’t need to be polite to me.”

Not only did Tang Yanmei’s voice sound bitter, but even her face showed the same feeling as she brought a cup of water to her lips before she sipped the water slowly.

The woman didn’t even let her brown eyes brush over Wu Jinhai as she spoke her answer, and Wu Jinhai was also speechless after learning another truth about the older woman.

He didn’t expect Tang Yanmei was a prostitute in Wu Li before she rose to become a concubine in Dong Lang. He still remembered how the woman had told him that she was only a human when they first met six years ago, and now he realized that it was quite strange for a human to be a concubine in the werewolf empire.

Furthermore, that woman had a low status as a prostitute in Wu Li, so it was hard to believe that she had managed to become a concubine in Dong Lang.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal about how you were in the past, Lady Tang,” Wu Jinhai responded to the woman again, and he seemed to ignore how she was telling him to stop being polite toward her. “You are now the mother of the Prince of Dong Lang, and more importantly, you have given birth to a benevolent Prince who was even willing to risk his life to save a stranger like me. One thing is enough to show that you have been a good mother and woman.”

Suddenly, Wu Jinhai tried to comfort the beautiful woman after she revealed the truth about her past. The woman finally looked at the masked man once more, and even if she still couldn’t see the man’s face, she smiled beautifully at the man after hearing the man’s words of consolation.

“Only a good man will tell me that I am a good woman,” the woman replied as her smile slowly turned bitter even if she continued to stare at the young man. “Unfortunately, maybe you are the only good man in this world because others may see me as a bad woman who has the heart to destroy someone’s family. Maybe the news didn’t reach your ears, but I’m a homewrecker, Your Highness. I came between two people who loved each other, and one of the two even committed suicide because of my appearance in their happy life. Sure enough, I’m not a good woman, am I?”]
