As Madam Yin walked out of the main courtyard, the Fujin was looking at that thin figure through the gauze window. "Granny, how could I have gone so far?"

As Li Mama was looking at the several bolts of fabric that Qiu Chan had taken out of the storeroom, gesturing to each one, she instructed Qiu Chan, "Take all of these bolts to make summer robes for Hong Hui, and have the embroiderer take his measurements."

After Qiu Chan left, Granny Li continued, "In any case, she can't save that child anyway, so it's better to let it go with some value! Doctor Bai said that Madam Yin's constitution is not good. She didn't fall seriously that day, but it already affected the pregnancy. Even if she is born, the child is likely to be very weak, just like Madam Song's first child, who couldn't be raised after birth."

The princess sighed inwardly, remembering that it was also a life, and said with some unease, "Fourth Master has few children, and this Lady Yin is not very fortunate."

Granny Li knew that although the Princess Consort did this, she still felt indebted to the Fourth Prince, so she could only comfort her, saying, "Your Highness is doing this for the sake of the First Prince. Lady Niu has become spoiled by the Emperor's favor and her actions have exceeded the bounds of a princess's duty. The Emperor is temporarily blinded, and Your Highness's actions will help to reduce the strife in the inner court as soon as possible."

The princess sighed and fell silent. Sometimes, people do things that are clearly evil, yet they insist on finding a seemingly righteous reason.

After Lanqin returned, she naturally heard that Yin Shi had been bumped by Honghui and his friends while skateboarding not long ago, and she was a little worried about Yin Shi's health. She was relieved to hear that after Doctor Bai's treatment, Yin Shi was fine, otherwise Lanqin would still feel uneasy. That skateboard was something she had made herself.

"Nianxue, go find some tonics. I want to go see Lady Yin." Lanqin thought for a moment and decided to go see Lady Yin anyway.

Upon hearing this, Nianxue knew it was because of what Huanbi had said about Madam Yin's fall a few days ago. She immediately went into the house, opened the cabinet where the rewards were kept, and took out some wild ginseng and bird's nest.

After she laid out the items in front of Lanqin, she said, "Princess, I think that Madam Yin's fall has little to do with you. When you go to see her, it's best not to take it personally. Just go and show your appreciation."

Lanqin smiled, picked up the tonics, and said, "Is your princess that foolish? I'm just showing concern for the master's offspring. Besides, Madam Yin came to the manor with me, so it's only natural for me to go and see her. And I've never had any disagreements with her."

After taking another Ganoderma lucidum from the storeroom, Lanqin had Nianxue help her carry the things and headed towards the West Courtyard where she used to live.

Furthermore, ever since Lady Yin conveyed the Fujin's intentions to Ye Ying, she has been in a dazed and confused state. She spends her days either sitting by the window lost in thought or sitting on the couch embroidering, becoming increasingly sullen than usual.

When Wu, who lived opposite her, saw that her pregnancy had been saved, she was furious. A few days earlier, when Yin had just fallen, she had watched with schadenfreude for a long time, only to find that nothing had happened, so naturally she was unhappy.

However, since Madam Yin stayed indoors all day, she couldn't find any reason to cause trouble for her.

When Lanqin appeared in the west courtyard, the old women at the gate immediately surrounded her with flattery, all bowing to her. Wu's maid, Xiangqiao, saw this and immediately informed her mistress. Seeing Lanqin and her maid carrying things towards Yin's room, they immediately understood the purpose of her visit.

Ye Ying was about to take Yin Shi's clothes out to wash when she saw Lan Qin and her servants already at the threshold. She immediately put down what she was holding and bowed to Lan Qin.

"Is your princess here? I've come to see her," Lanqin asked gently.

"Yes, I'll go and inform them right away." Ye Ying hurriedly turned around and headed towards Madam Yin's room.

"Princess, why does it seem like only Ye Ying is a maid in Princess Yin's room? Where are the others? Didn't Master assign servants before?" Nianxue asked curiously, looking around the silent room.

"I find it strange too." Lanqin felt oppressed walking in this room. Although it was the hottest time of June and fine beads of sweat were starting to appear on her face, she still felt a chill in her heart.

Before Lanqin and her servant could finish speaking, Madam Yin appeared. Seeing Lanqin walking towards her, she already had a gentle and docile smile on her face.

"Why have you come, sister?" Madam Yin greeted her, immediately grasping Lanqin's hand and asking gently. Her manner suggested that she and Lanqin were very close sisters, and that this visit was just an ordinary one.

When Ms. Yin touched her hand, Lanqin instinctively tried to pull her hand away; her hand was so cold!

It was strange that her body temperature was so cold in the sweltering summer heat.

"I heard that Sister Yin hasn't been feeling well these past few days. I just found out, so I came to see her. I'm bored staying in the house anyway, so I thought I'd come and talk to her." Lanqin subtly released Yin's hand.

The two moved to the main room of the Yin family and sat down as host and guest, respectively.

"Ye Ying, go and pour tea for your sister." Madam Yin gently scolded, then turned to Lan Qin with a smile and said, "This girl is so clueless. Please don't laugh at her, sister."

"Didn't Fourth Master assign servants to my sister? Why do I only see Ye Ying? Where are the others?" Lan Qin asked with a smile. Actually, she didn't have anything to say, but since Madam Yin brought it up, she just asked.

"I don't have anything to do anyway, and they're probably bored, so they've gone out," Madam Yin said awkwardly.

Lanqin and her servant were startled, but they showed an "I see" expression on their faces.

Ye Ying placed a cup of tea in front of Lan Qin. When Lan Qin asked, they all said, "Our princess is just too kind-hearted. Those people who were transferred here see that the princess is soft-hearted and often slacks off. Right now, they're probably either gambling or chatting with someone."

"Night Poppy!" Madam Yin frowned and scolded loudly, "Sister Niu finally came to see me, why are you saying so much for no reason!"

Lanqin was embarrassed again, but she had to say, "Sister is too weak-willed. If these servants don't serve you well, you can report to the Fujin and ask her to punish them. Now that you are four or five months pregnant, how can you possibly serve Ye Ying alone?"

Yin's eyes darkened, and she said timidly, "The Fujin has many things to do every day. If I ask the Fujin to make decisions for everything, I'm afraid it will give people something to talk about. It's better to avoid trouble."

Yin's repeated attempts to appear weak undeniably stirred the heart of Lanqin, a strong-willed woman, even though she repeatedly warned herself not to meddle in matters of the inner quarters.

“Sister, don’t worry. What use is a disloyal servant? I’ll go and talk to the Fujin for you.” As soon as Lanqin said this, not only was Madam Yin surprised, but even Nianxue, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.
