The Fourth Prince went completely mad, forcibly pinning Yehe down in London several times before finally relieving the lust within him. Afterwards, looking at Yehe's tear-streaked face, he felt a pang of guilt and mumbled, "Master, use more force. Have the maid apply some medicine."

Yehe lay naked on the bed, nodding with her eyes closed, not wanting to open them to look at the Fourth Prince. She was terrified; the Fourth Prince was taking her so fiercely, showing absolutely no mercy or kindness.

The Fourth Prince was puzzled by his sudden surge of lust and his particular infatuation with Yehe's body. After venting his anger, he felt ashamed, so he left after saying those words and packed his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the rewards came, which were naturally cloth and jewelry, the usual rewards after being favored.

Yuhen and Yulu went into the room to wash Yeheshi. They noticed that her brows were tightly furrowed, so she was probably still in pain.

"Princess, please bear with it. I'll apply some Jade Dew Anti-swelling Ointment for you." Yuhen first helped Yehe Shi put on her undergarments, and then personally applied some anti-swelling ointment containing peppermint and chrysanthemum to her.

Yu Lu, puzzled, couldn't help but ask as she stood aside tidying up Ye He's clothes, "What's wrong with Master? He came in such a hurry and left in such a rush."

"Alright, Princess is already like this, and you still have the mind to talk? Hurry up and wipe her body. Apply a hot towel to those bruises, and they'll heal faster." Yuhen rolled her eyes at Yulu and said. She was straightforward, and Yehe Shi didn't allow Yuhen to talk to her about it, lest she accidentally let something slip.

Yehe slowly opened her eyes and said, "Yulu, go out and don't let anyone near you. I have something to say to Yuhen."

Seeing that Yehe was chasing her away, Yulu was confused and angrily pouted before leaving.

“The princess is too good-natured, she’s become so disrespectful. This Yu Lu is really troublesome,” Yu Hen said hurriedly.

"Yuhen, we need to find a way to get pregnant as soon as possible," said Yehe Shi.

“Now that the princess has used that thing, the master can’t do without her. As long as the master comes often, the chances of the princess getting pregnant will be much greater,” Yuhen comforted her.

“He doesn’t come often. When he does, he’s like a wild beast. He’s probably been holding back, and only came when he couldn’t hold it in any longer,” Yehe said with a bitter face. At this moment, a trace of resentment arose in her heart. She had never dared to harbor resentment towards the Fourth Prince before, but now she understood that the Fourth Prince did not pity her, so she felt no affection for him.

Seeing that Yehe was badly injured, Yuhen dared not say anything and could only gently apply ointment to her.

Yu Lu was not happy when Ye He sent her away, so she went outside and vented her anger on Tao Hua and He Hua, saying, "Go and fetch some hot water. The princess wants to take a bath."

Peach Blossom had been keeping a close eye on the movements in the inner room. When she saw that Fourth Master had left and had not stayed overnight, she found it strange.

"Didn't the master bathe before, Princess?" Peach Blossom asked intentionally.

"Just go fetch water. Stop arguing." Yu Lu finally felt a little better, as she could finally show off her status as a first-class maid in front of Tao Hua and He Hua.

Lotus muttered, "It's so late, why bother taking a bath? Master has already left." Her meaning was clear: Master is gone, why bother taking a bath? Just sleep like that, it's such a hassle.

"Master wants to take a bath, why are you making so many noises? Otherwise, I'll go and tell Master, and if you don't want to serve me, you can leave." Yu Lu said, displaying the authority of a first-class maid.

"Fine, let's bring it up!" Lotus pouted, not daring to say anything more.

“Sister Yulu, why doesn’t Master stay overnight? I’m sure the Princess is feeling uneasy. As servants, the most important thing is to serve Master well,” Peach Blossom said, feeling a little puzzled.

Seeing that she was trying to curry favor with him, Yu Lu said, "Our master's affairs are not for us to discuss. You should hurry up and fetch some hot water."

Peach Blossom, holding Lotus Blossom's hand, went to the kitchen with a lantern to ask for hot water. It was already past 7 PM, and the kitchen stoves had long been extinguished. Only a young servant was guarding the two stoves, keeping watch for any master who might come to ask for a midnight snack.

The servants in the water-boiling room have already gone back to their rooms to rest, but the hot water is still boiling. Anyone who wants hot water can just bring a bucket. The fire is sealed inside, and the boiling pot is large enough to supply hot water to all the masters and servants in the mansion.

"I really don't know what's so dirty about it that you have to take two baths a day?" Lotus lifted the huge pot lid, and steam immediately rose up, making the whole water boiler room as hot as a steamer.

Peach Blossom picked up the iron ladle and began scooping water into the pot.

The two of them worked together to carry the two buckets of hot water back to the North Courtyard, leaving Peach Blossom and Lotus covered in sweat.

The two carried the bucket into Yehe's room as usual, where they found Yehe already sitting on the bed, wearing undergarments, with an indifferent expression.

Peach Blossom and Lotus Flower worked together to pour the water from the bucket into the bathtub, then sprinkled some dried flower petals that had been prepared beforehand, checked the water temperature, and invited Yehe to take a bath this time.

"Alright, you may all leave. I will take care of the princess's bath!" Yuhen said to Peach Blossom and Lotus.

Lotus felt like she had been granted a pardon. She had been wanting to go out and cool off for a while, but Peach Blossom patiently said, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, this servant will help you take a bath."

Yehe looked at Taohua, pondered for a moment, and said, "Very well, Yuhen, let Taohua stay and serve."

Yuhen glanced at Yehe Shi in surprise before helping her to her feet. When Taohua saw Yuhen helping Yehe Shi remove her undergarments, she was shocked to see countless bruises on her neck and chest, and Taohua was too embarrassed to look.

Good heavens, is Fourth Master really a beast? How could he have caused such a mess with the Yehe clan?

With these questions in mind, Peach Blossom and Jade Hen worked together to bathe Yehe. Yehe sat upright in the bathtub, letting the two maids pour hot water over her.

“Peach Blossom, you should come inside and serve from now on. Jade Dew is too clumsy and not suitable for this job. Jade Mark, you and Peach Blossom can serve together,” said Yehe.

Peach Blossom was overjoyed at Yehe's sudden remark and quickly expressed her gratitude, her movements becoming even gentler.

After the bath, Yuhen helped Yehe Shi to bed.

After lowering the curtain for her, Yuhen whispered, "Does the princess want to find fault with Taohua and send her away?"

Yehe said, "Go and talk to Yulu, and tell her to make a scene on the surface. That way, Taohua will feel at ease. She's very shrewd."

When Fourth Master returned to the front courtyard, he felt strange thinking about his actions towards Yehe Shi. He felt that he hadn't cared about her that much, but his body couldn't help but want to go to her.
