In the study, Yinzhen sat with his three brothers-in-law.

No one spoke; for a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the study.

In the end, it was Yinzhen who spoke first. It wasn't that he lacked the patience of his brothers-in-law, but rather that they were all Tong Cheng'er's brothers.

If you marry someone's precious girl, you should always lower your stance a bit.

This is a principle that Yinzhen recently learned from his concubine. After all, according to her principles, it doesn't matter if you adopt a humble attitude during the process; the important thing is that the result is as desired.

As a top student, one can naturally apply what one has learned in a practical way.

The three young men of the Tong family felt a strange sense of satisfaction as they watched him speak first.

Marrying their precious daughter finally made them feel much more comfortable.

Once Yinzhen started talking, the group naturally began to chat. Yinzhen had a wide range of interests and could talk to anyone about anything.

As they chatted, the three of them genuinely developed a liking for this brother-in-law; his knowledge was truly impeccable.

As the conversation continued, the three brothers began to wonder if this person was a bit too outstanding. Their sister was indeed wonderful, but perhaps their academic backgrounds were somewhat mismatched.

As doting brothers, they naturally think their sisters are the best, but that doesn't mean they can't recognize the proper standards, like the Fourth Prince.

In terms of appearance, although he is a bit aloof, if you look closely, if he smiles from time to time, he can be described as an elegant and charming young man with excellent looks.

Needless to say, he was also very talented, skilled in both literature and martial arts, adept at business, able to protect people, eloquent, and amass a fortune.

As for his character, based on what they had heard, the Fourth Prince was the most disciplined of all the princes. In addition, he had been very humble when he accompanied his younger sister on her homecoming visit today. They couldn't find any fault with his character.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that my younger sister married into a good family.

During lunch, Tong Cheng'er's brothers went up to her one by one and said, "Fourth Prince is a good husband. You should pay more attention to him in the future."

Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er was completely bewildered. What was wrong with her brothers? Did she not care about Yinzhen?

It's clear that you took it to heart!

If she weren't serious, she wouldn't have put on so many acts in Yonghe Palace. You know, it takes a lot of effort to smile at Consort Wuya.

Tong Cheng'er privately asked Yinzhen angrily, "Tell me quickly, what did you say to my brothers? How come they all sided with you in such a short time?"

They're all her own brothers, so how could they "betray" her?

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say anything. It's probably because my older brothers love me and my dog!"

Tong Cheng'er looked at him in disbelief. "Is it possible to love someone so much that you love everything about them?"

“That’s my brother, why do you call him that so naturally?”

He was a prince, and normally his parents-in-law would have to bow to him. Yet he called her "brother" so affectionately, even more so than his own brothers, which made Tong Cheng'er feel that he was a bit strange.

Yinzhen: So what! He's doing something wrong by treating the young consort's brother as his own brother because he loves the house so much?

Tong Cheng'er added, "But it's not impossible for you to call me that if you want."

She was actually quite happy, after all, she wanted to spend her life with him.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled.

After lunch, Yinzhen was summoned to the study by his father-in-law, and the two chatted for quite a while.

During their conversation, Tong Cheng'er was pulled to her room by Shumulu, who then dismissed all the servants in the room.

Shumulu immediately asked her, "It's not appropriate for your mother to ask you if there are other people around. Although the Fourth Prince treats you well, your mother can't find out much about his harem. Have any of the women in the Fourth Prince's harem been dishonest and causing you trouble?"

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said, "The Fourth Prince has women in his harem?"

Shumulu was stunned when she heard her daughter's words: "You don't know, do you?!"

Tong Cheng'er nodded first, then shook her head: "I haven't seen it, and no one in the manor told me, so I assumed it didn't exist."

Shumulu exclaimed "Oh dear!" and then said, "My silly daughter, the Fourth Prince is a prince, and he has no problems. When he reaches the right age, he will have women no matter what. As far as your mother knows, the Fourth Prince has three women in his harem. Haven't I told you?"

Tong Cheng'er shook her head honestly: "No!"

Shumulu slapped her forehead: "It seems that Mother didn't tell you about this."

Well, it's not entirely Shumulu's fault for not saying anything. After all, in her mind, this was a common practice, and she thought her daughter would understand. Since she hadn't found out anything about the women in the Fourth Prince's harem, she was afraid that telling her daughter would upset her, so she didn't say anything. Who knew that her daughter would think that there were no other women in the Fourth Prince's harem.

In fact, Tong Cheng'er was also a bit confused. She really didn't know what was going on. After all, she knew that after the marriage was arranged, it was Yinzhen who took the initiative. He was very humble, and all the men in the Tong family were virtuous and self-disciplined.

She assumed that Yinzhen was the same way.

She was not naive enough to believe that the royal princes would only ever be devoted to their wives, but she thought that would only happen in a few years.

So when she found out about this, she was quite surprised.

While she wasn't exactly a history novice, as a poor, unlucky girl who constantly worried about tuition fees, she really didn't know much about ancient history.

The little history she learned in junior and senior high school was enough to pass the exams and she forgot it afterward. Besides, junior and senior high school history was learned in a general way. Did the history textbooks tell her that princes had women before they married their wives?

So, without her knowledge, and through a series of unforeseen circumstances, she was completely unaware that Yinzhen had three women hiding in his harem.
