The Fourth Prince looked at the Second Princess kneeling at his feet, then at his Consort kneeling on the bed, his heart torn between two conflicting emotions. On one side was his lifelong wife, on the other, the woman he had fallen deeply in love with. How wonderful it would be if these two could be united as one!

"Now that you have married into the Fourth Prince's household, don't even think about going back to the Ulanara family. This is your home!" the Fourth Prince said. "Su Peisheng, immediately take the Prince's decree to the Yang family and invite him to come and treat your illness!" the Fourth Prince said solemnly.

Fourth Master then said to Lingxiu, "Go and tell the head maid to send four more maids over to serve her. How can the Fujin's courtyard be so desolate?"

After saying that, Fourth Master strode out.

After the Fourth Prince left, the Second Princess was helped up by her maid.

The princess consort was already slumped on the bed.

"Mother, you should focus on recovering. Father has softened his stance; if we persuade him a little more, he might be able to lift your confinement." The Second Princess looked at the stern and cold face that had always been in front of her on the bed, and she never expected that she had shown such helplessness and pitifulness in front of the Fourth Prince just now.

"Elinzhu, good child, your mother will never forget what you did for her today." The Fujin had regained her usual dignified demeanor.

“This is what Erlinzhu should do,” the Second Princess said with a slight smile.

"I'm tired. You should go back and enjoy your life. That woman in the South Courtyard won't try to control you; she always likes to act differently. Even if she doesn't necessarily want to harm you, your father certainly does!" the Princess said meaningfully.

The second princess seemed to understand and agreed, then left with her maid's help.

"My lady, I never expected that we would have made the right move!" Lingxiu said happily.

"It's still far from what I want. One day, I will make sure that Niohuru's fate is even more tragic than Li's!" the princess said.

"My lady, I'll go ask the head nanny for the person right now!" Lingxiu said.

"There's no need to rush. The master has already given the order, so she will naturally send the person over. Instead of you rushing to ask for the person now, you might as well let her send the person over herself," the princess said with her eyes closed.

When Fourth Master returned to the front yard, his face was still not good! Su Peisheng could tell from Fourth Master's expression that he was still in a bad mood.

Su Peisheng had seen Jinju come over to check on things. He had originally intended to mention the Lanqin to the Fourth Master, but seeing the Fourth Master's appearance, he swallowed his words.

Fourth Master paced back and forth in the room, seemingly unsure of what to do, before finally saying, "Let's go to the South Courtyard!"

Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to light a lamp for the Fourth Master!

Meanwhile, in the South Courtyard, they already knew about the Fourth Master's affair with the Fujin.

"Cui Niang, I noticed that Master seems unhappy ever since he found out about that matter!" Shui Ling whispered to Cui Niang.

"No one would be happy to know about this. Our master spent a very long time fighting off that woman in the main courtyard," said Cui Niang.

"Sigh! If Master is unhappy, even I feel unhappy," Shui Ling said, pouting.

"Go and take the winter dates that our master likes to eat; after all, our master is an open-minded person," Cui Niang said, pushing his arm.

Lanqin was currently writing at her desk, and she was indeed very unhappy. But that damned man was the ruler of this courtyard! And she was just a damned concubine!

"Master, the jujubes are washed and they're so sweet!" Shui Ling is very cute and Lan Qin likes her very much.

"Your master isn't feeling very happy right now, so eating these things won't make him happy!" Lanqin teased the little maid.

“My lady, why don’t I play cards with you?” Shui Ling volunteered. Lan Qin usually liked to play cards with her maids.

"I'm not playing anymore, Master. I'm a bit depressed and just want to sleep!" Lanqin threw down the pen in her hand.

"Master, shall I serve you while you wash up?" Shui Ling asked.

Just then, a greeting rang out from outside. It was the Fourth Master!

Upon hearing that it was Fourth Master, Lanqin said to Shuiling, "Go out and tell him that I'm already asleep. I'm not receiving any guests!"

Shui Ling was terrified. If she went out to report like this, would Fourth Master kick her out immediately?

When Lanqin said this, Fourth Master had already reached the door of her room.

"Since your master asked you to deliver a message, why didn't you do it?" The Fourth Prince was already in a bad mood. He had been thinking about how Lanqin would react after she found out about his treatment of the Fujin. But as soon as he entered the room, he heard Lanqin's words.

Shui Ling was caught in the tail end of the typhoon by Fourth Master. She was so frightened that she froze and didn't know how to respond.

"I can manage my maid myself, Master, you don't need to worry about me!" Lanqin got angry and immediately started arguing with the Fourth Master.

The maids outside the house were all anxious, but Lanqin also had a temper.

"It seems I've spoiled you too much, so much so that you dare to speak to me like that!" Fourth Master said coldly, waving his hand at Shui Ling, signaling her to leave.

Lanqin looked at the Fourth Master's face, which was so dark it was almost dripping with water, and coupled with his cold words just now, she was really a little scared. However, she had already spoken, and it was impossible for her to take it back.

I don't care anymore, I'm just going to argue. You've done it so many times, and you won't even let me complain!

"Master had already dealt with it, but he changed his mind again and again. It's really heartbreaking!" Lanqin finally said what had been on her mind. She was not willing to continue being a virtuous wife without end!

The Fourth Prince had actually regretted his words after leaving his wife's place, but he couldn't bring himself to take them back. Why had he softened towards that woman just now?

"Your Highness is the master of this mansion. You don't need to inform the concubine of what you do!" The Fourth Prince was also getting angry.

"In that case, why don't you find someone else to serve you, Master? I'm not available today, is that alright?" Lanqin said angrily.

The maids outside the house were all on tenterhooks. They really didn't know how to handle the situation after their master snatched away Master Bai like this!

"Looks like I should teach you a lesson!" Fourth Master slammed the door shut!

Lanqin saw his actions and saw him walking towards her with a dark face!

"What are you going to do?!" Lanqin said in terror, shrinking back.

The Fourth Prince ignored Lanqin, walked directly to her, grabbed her, and then turned her over and pressed her down on the warm couch.

Lanqin thought to herself: Is this an attempt to force myself on me?

Before she could even process what was happening, Fourth Master yanked her pants down, exposing her entire buttocks to the air. Lanqin immediately flinched!

Damn it, so they really want to force themselves on me?!

Snap, snap!

Lanqin's buttocks were slapped a few times by the Fourth Master, and then a wave of pain struck!
