"Do you believe what this Taoist priest says?" Yinzhen asked Yin Qingyi after the Taoist priest Wang left.

"I believe you," Yin Qingyi nodded.

"Why? Don't you think these things are supernatural and baseless?" Yinzhen had always believed that ghosts and gods were unbelievable, which is why he was puzzled as to why Yin Qingyi didn't seem strange at all.

"Well, it's a matter of belief. I believe it if I want, and I don't if I don't. I've experienced it myself, so naturally I believe it. You haven't experienced it, so naturally you don't believe it. There's nothing strange about that," Yin Qingyi said after thinking for a moment. Since even time travel had actually happened, she naturally believed in these supernatural and fictitious things as well.

"Personal experience?" Yinzhen asked, his tone questioning.

"Yes, it was just a short time ago, the day Geng died. Fortunately, Physician Li knew someone who understood this. I had been troubled for several days, and that person gave me a talisman, and I was cured." Yin Qingyi nodded, speaking very casually, as if she wasn't the one who had been troubled.

"Geng Shi?" Yinzhen frowned, unable to recall having such a person in the backyard.

"...Let Eunuch Su tell you about this." Yin Qingyi didn't want to pay any attention to this man who slept with her and then forgot about her. After all, they had shared a night of intimacy, even though Geng Shi wasn't exactly his wife. However, Yin Qingyi couldn't help but think about herself. What if she fell out of favor one day? Would Yinzhen not remember her then? Thinking this, Yin Qingyi couldn't help but get angry. She glared at Yinzhen and went inside.

"...Why are you suddenly angry?" Yinzhen was amused and exasperated by Yin Qingyi's sudden outburst. Weren't they just chatting peacefully a moment ago? Was it Geng Shi's fault? Geng Shi... he remembered who she was. But he still didn't know why Yin Qingyi was angry.

Unfortunately, there was no one to answer his question at this moment. Yinzhen looked around and found that none of his personal eunuchs were by his side. He touched his nose and went inside anyway.

"Is Your Highness free today?" Yin Qingyi asked without looking up as she lay on the chaise longue, sensing Yinzhen's approach.

"Why are you angry, Qingqing? If I remember correctly, you and Lady Geng are not on good terms." Yinzhen asked softly, sitting next to Lady Yin, his tone carrying a hint of coaxing.

"I am not angry." Yin Qingyi still did not look up, as if she was really looking at the script in her hand, but she did not turn a single page.

“Qingqing and I have become estranged. Qingqing used to address me as ‘I’ in front of you.” Yinzhen reached out and turned Yin Qingyi’s head so that she would look at him.

"I was unruly before, please forgive my ignorance, Your Highness." Yin Qingyi was forced to look at Yinzhen, putting on a polite smile and speaking in a rigid manner.

"I was unaware that Qingqing had become so concerned with these rules," Yinzhen said, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of anger creeping onto his face. Who had been whispering such things in Qingqing's ear? Was it her mother or her own wife? Had she been given a hard time by her mother in the palace? Yinzhen absolutely refused to believe that Yin Qingyi had learned these things on her own. However, Yinzhen hadn't considered one thing: his Qingqing, his secondary wife, had never even entered the palace. Since his wife was up to something, she naturally wouldn't have brought Yin Qingyi with her.

"It was because I was too willful in the past. Also, regarding the management of the household that Your Highness mentioned today, I don't understand these things, so please take back the management authority." Yin Qingyi lowered her eyes and answered softly. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt uncomfortable, and when she was unhappy, she naturally had to act out.

"Yin Shi!" Yinzhen stood up, his tone turning cold. As a prince, he had never been so submissive before. This Consort Yin was the first person to make him act this way. But this woman, this woman was simply... Yinzhen didn't know how to describe her. If he knew the word "drama queen," he might know how to describe her.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty. It was my fault." Upon seeing this, Yin Qingyi also stood up, and then slowly knelt down under Yinzhen's angry gaze.

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, Yinzhen was so angry that he didn't know whether to hit her or scold her. In the end, Yinzhen flicked his robe and turned to leave.

"Why is this, Master?" Granny Qi had been watching the whole thing, and now she felt that her master had gone too far. She frowned and looked at Yin Qingyi with disapproval.

"Granny, please just think of me as being willful. Although Geng Shi is annoying, the master and Geng Shi did share a bed. The master can forget about her if he wants to. I'm just afraid that one day I might do something that will annoy the master. Will he forget about me too?" Yin Qingyi stood up and looked at Yinzhen walking away, and said softly.

"How can you compare Mistress and Lady Geng? Lady Geng displeased the master as soon as she entered the manor, and she has no children to rely on, so naturally the master won't remember her. Besides, the master will only have more women in the future, how can he remember them all? But you are different, Mistress. You have always been favored by the master, and now you have three children to rely on. Even if the master doesn't favor you as much in the future, he will not forget you." Granny Qi hadn't expected that Yin Qingyi was worried about this, and that it had even angered the master! How could Lady Geng compare to you? You two are worlds apart, how can you even be compared?

"Yes, he'll have many more women in the future. How can he possibly pamper just one?" Yin Qingyi murmured to herself. Her voice was so low that even the old nanny beside her couldn't hear what she was saying.

"My lady, please don't overthink it. This old servant can see that the master treats you differently." Granny Qi didn't hear clearly and thought that Yin Qingyi was still obsessing over it, so she continued to persuade her earnestly.

"Yes, Granny, I'm a little tired. I'll go inside and rest for a while." Yin Qingyi gave a forced smile and went into the inner room. She closed the door after entering, and no one else followed her.

"Sigh!" Granny Naqi followed behind, watching the door close in front of her. She wanted to say something, but it was too late. She could only look at the door and sigh.

Meanwhile, Yinzhen stormed off from Luoxue Pavilion, and Su Peisheng chased after him at a jog. He had just returned and hadn't even warmed his seat at the door when he saw his master come out of the house, radiating anger. Frightened, Su Peisheng didn't dare say a word and followed Yinzhen back to the front courtyard. Then, Yinzhen locked himself in his study.

Standing at the door, Su Peisheng was completely bewildered. Everything was fine when he left, wasn't it? The two of them were so affectionate; how could they have quarreled so quickly? He wanted to ask someone, but there was no one in the front yard who knew the situation. Su Peisheng had a bellyful of questions but nowhere to turn, and he was so anxious he was about to jump up and down. Su Xiaobao, watching from the side, was also helpless, after all, he had just returned, just like Su Peisheng.
