Su Peisheng went out, and as soon as he stepped out, his expression changed instantly. He went straight to the source of the noise.

When Ruxue saw Su Peisheng coming over, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she could get rid of him, it was New Year's Eve, and she was a person close to the Fujin. If she acted too lightly or too harshly, she was afraid that it would damage the Fujin's reputation.

"Eunuch Su is here."

Su Peisheng smiled at Ruxue: "I'll handle this."

Ru Xue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Su."

"Of course."

After Su Peisheng finished speaking, he turned to look at the maid, his smile vanished instantly, and his eyes turned sharp.

"Greetings, Lord Su... Lord Su."

The maid was speechless after Su Peisheng looked at her like that.

Su Peisheng said in an unfriendly tone: "What do you mean 'all well'? Making a scene in front of the Fujin's door during the New Year, disturbing the masters' peace, are you doing this on purpose?"

“Eunuch Su, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that today is New Year’s Eve, and our princess is a sensitive person. I only ask that the Fujin be kind enough to let our princess pay her respects to the master.”

Su Peisheng's face darkened further upon hearing this. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Fujin was a shrew who kept her master from seeing the concubines in the mansion.

They don't even use their brains to sow discord.

"The master is the master of the manor. No one can stop him from seeing anyone in the manor if he wants to. The reason why the master does not want to see your princess is because the master does not want to see her. If this continues, there is still a cold courtyard in the manor that has been uninhabited for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, the maid trembled in fright. The Cold Courtyard! She had no desire to go there.

Originally, it was thought that the Princess Consort would have to agree out of consideration for the New Year and for the sake of her reputation and face, but who knew that the master would actually send Su Peisheng to handle it.

In the end, the maid could only slink away.

Su Peisheng returned to the room: "Reporting to Your Highness, Madam, it has been dealt with."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen nodded: "Tomorrow, go and tell them that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter the Fujin's courtyard. In addition, Li's allowance will be reduced by half for half a year."

They won't learn their lesson unless they're punished.

They still need to be punished.

Tong Cheng'er watched as Yinzhen gave his instructions, but she didn't say anything. As for pleading for him, she was truly sorry, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

She's not crazy; she's pleading for the concubine's life.

After giving the instructions, Yinzhen allowed Su Peisheng to leave.

"Let's eat quickly."

Yinzhen nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Cheng'er. Let's eat."

The food on the table was still warm. The two of them enjoyed a harmonious New Year's Eve dinner with the food still warm. After the meal, Tong Cheng'er brought up what had just happened.

"What are you planning to do with those people in your backyard?"

Yinzhen was a bit full, and his mind was a beat slow to react: "What, what should we do?"

"We can't just leave the Li family and others like that."

This incident today shows that if things are left like this, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Spending money to support her is fine, she doesn't mind if there's plenty of money, but sometimes money isn't enough!

She didn't mistreat them. Although the New Year's rewards were all things, she gave them everything they were entitled to on ordinary days. Their allowances were actually more than those of the concubines in other families.

Even so, they would still be dishonest if they wanted to. If they were honest, Tong Cheng'er would not have had the reward money originally given to them replaced with other things.

Yinzhen thought for a moment. He could simply get rid of the women in the backyard quietly, but doing so would not be good for the reputation of his young consort.

Do you have any thoughts?

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "What thoughts could I possibly have?"

Yinzhen thought for a moment, and finally said, "Wait a moment, I'll take care of this."

Tong Cheng'er asked curiously, "What are you planning to do?"

Don't worry about it, you'll find out when the time comes.

Okay, then let's wait for his good news.

At this moment, the three people in the backyard were unaware that they were about to leave the Fourth Prince's residence.

When Li heard the maid relay Su Peisheng's words, her already thin face trembled with anger: "That's too much! She's really something. She clings to the master all year round and won't even let us see her. How could someone like her receive praise from His Majesty? It's truly outrageous!"

The maid standing nearby turned pale upon hearing this.

“Princess, be careful what you say. If such words get out, it would be disrespectful to His Majesty.”

No one wants to experience the consequences of disrespecting the Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Li's face turned pale; she had been extremely angry just now.

Only after being reminded by the maid did they realize that they had broken their promise. Fortunately, it was just the two of them in the room now.

"you're right."

Looking at the princess's dejected face, the maid couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, this matter couldn't really be blamed on the princess; it was mainly because the master himself was unwilling to come.

The princess had just married into the family this year, and the master wanted to spend the New Year alone with her. The princess couldn't stand it, but she probably forgot that even if the princess hadn't married into the family, the master had never spent the New Year with them.

This can only mean that the master was devoted to only his wife.

Perhaps she was too angry, because Li fell ill on the first day of the new year.

When Li's maid came to report, the first reaction of everyone in Yaocheng Courtyard was that Li was up to her old tricks again.

But we still have to call the imperial physician, just in case he's really sick!

The imperial physician came and took Li's pulse. Tong Cheng'er later asked the physician and learned that she was indeed ill. The cause of her illness was that she was depressed and angry, which caused her to have a fever.

Tong Cheng'er was completely bewildered upon hearing this; she had actually fallen ill from anger.
