"Replying to Your Majesty, my maidservant had an upset stomach today, so..." Lady Fucha said somewhat flusteredly. In fact, her maidservant did not have an upset stomach, but she had finally managed to find out Yinzhen's whereabouts and did not want to use her maidservant to cause trouble, which was why she had not brought her along. However, she could not let the master know about this, which was why Lady Fucha was somewhat flustered.

"Su Peisheng, find someone to send her back." Looking at Empress Fucha, how could Yinzhen not know what this woman was up to? He immediately ordered Su Peisheng to find someone to send her back. His good mood had been ruined by this woman.

"Yes, Princess Fucha, please." Su Peisheng casually pointed to a eunuch, then looked at Lady Fucha. There was no obvious change in his eyes. Su Peisheng was still quite respectful to Lady Fucha at this moment. After all, she was one of the few Manchu families with a prominent surname in the master's harem. Who knew what would happen in the future? Su Peisheng was just that kind of person. Unless the person had already been beaten to death, Su Peisheng would never look down on these women.

"My lord, I really am lost." Fucha knelt on the ground in a panic, but in fact, every movement was something she had carefully rehearsed no less than a hundred times, just to show her most beautiful and vulnerable side to Yinzhen.

"Fucha, just behave yourself and stop thinking about unrealistic things! Considering you were given to me by my mother, you won't have a bad life in the manor." Yinzhen looked down at Fucha kneeling on the ground. Even though she was kneeling, she was still trying to seduce him! Did he, Yinzhen, really think he was such a lustful person? Did she think she could lure him into her room with this?

"Take her away." Looking at Lady Fucha, whose face had turned deathly pale, Yinzhen said to the eunuch behind her.

"Princess Fucha, let's go." The little eunuch looked at Lady Fucha on the ground and spoke softly, a hint of contempt in his eyes. This Princess Fucha doesn't even know which road this is. Trying to intercept the master on this road is like a toad trying to eat swan meat, wishful thinking! That's Consort Yin! Who can intercept the master from Consort Yin? Even the Fujin herself probably can't.

Yinzhen stopped looking at Fucha and gazed at Luoxue Pavilion in the distance. After thinking for a moment, Yinzhen turned around and went back to the front courtyard. It was better not to go there now, lest that little woman make him coax the child again.

In Luoxue Pavilion, Yin Qingyi only saw the little maid talking to Yinzhen. Yinzhen had his back to her, and he was probably talking to the little maid as well. The little maid immediately knelt on the ground, looking at Yinzhen with teary eyes. Then the two said something more, and Yinzhen turned and left. The little maid was also taken away by a eunuch. In Yin Qingyi's opinion, Yinzhen had been seduced by the little maid because the two of them were walking on the same path, and a eunuch had been given to the little maid. Wasn't this just to take her in?

Seeing this, Yin Qingyi withdrew her gaze. It seemed that there would soon be another sister in the backyard. Trying hard to ignore the bitterness in her heart, Yin Qingyi walked towards the west room. At this moment, looking at the child made all her worries disappear.

So when Yinzhen arrived for dinner, he was greeted by a lukewarm little woman. Yinzhen had no idea what he had done to offend this little fox, and he was somewhat helpless, not knowing how to coax her.

"Why is Your Highness coming to my courtyard instead of spending time with your new sister?" Yin Qingyi said to Yinzhen in a sarcastic tone.

"The new sister? You mean Fucha and Niohuru? What, are you jealous?" Yinzhen thought for a while before he understood what Yin Qingyi meant by the new sister. He couldn't help but laugh, but he couldn't help being happy. This little woman was jealous. This had never happened before. She never cared much when he went there before, and she would never say it like this today.

"I wasn't talking about these two, but the ones Master just acquired today." Yin Qingyi controlled her strength, making sure she didn't break the chopsticks, otherwise it would be hard to explain. But she really wanted to clench her fist! That damned scoundrel, he was with his new lover this afternoon, and now he's having dinner here with her. If she didn't know, it would be fine, but knowing this made her feel disgusted!

"Today? Su Peisheng, did someone enter the manor again today?" Yinzhen asked in confusion, then frowned and called Su Peisheng over to inquire.

"No, Master," Su Peisheng replied loudly as soon as he entered.

"Then what about what Master Yin said about a new maid entering the manor today?" Yinzhen didn't believe Yin Qingyi's words were baseless, so they must be true. (You really don't think this little fox is just spouting nonsense at all.)

"This...this servant doesn't know either, I haven't heard of anyone entering the manor." Su Peisheng was also puzzled. Things in the backyard couldn't possibly bypass the frontyard. Although someone entering the backyard wasn't a big deal, there was absolutely no way he wouldn't know.

"I'm not talking about someone bestowed by the palace, but someone you took a liking to at our residence today, Your Highness." Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen, thinking to herself, "He's still putting on an act, isn't he? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have been fooled by Yinzhen's superb acting skills."

"I took in people in the manor? You need to explain clearly, when did I take in people in the manor?" Yinzhen really couldn't remember taking in anyone, and besides, he hadn't gone anywhere today. Every time he left the front courtyard, he came to Luoxue Pavilion. Where would he have taken in anyone?

"I saw it all this afternoon, so please don't try to deny it, Your Highness. I saw that little beauty myself; she was so beautiful and pitiful that it's understandable that Your Highness took her in." Yin Qingyi didn't want to play this guessing game with Yinzhen, so she directly stated her position.

"Afternoon? Wait, you haven't seen Lady Fucha before?" Yinzhen recalled the afternoon before remembering Lady Fucha. He then looked at Consort Yin. Although Lady Fucha had only been in the manor for a few days, how could this young woman not have seen her? Wasn't there a greeting... wait, a greeting? This young woman was indeed not there that day, so it's normal that she doesn't know.

"Fucha? You mean that little maid—no, that woman—this afternoon was Fucha?" Yin Qingyi stared wide-eyed at Yinzhen. Was this some kind of melodramatic farce? Fucha was supposed to be a princess, so why was she dressed like a maid?

"Yes." Yinzhen nodded.

"..." Yin Qingyi felt utterly humiliated. Sure enough, she should have gone to see what the newcomer looked like when she paid her respects that day! Otherwise, she wouldn't have caused such a misunderstanding today! Yin Qingyi buried her face in the bowl, wishing she could drown herself in rice.

"Ahem, you said you were there this afternoon too?" Yinzhen asked, suppressing a laugh.

"Hmm." Yin Qingyi's voice was muffled. She didn't look up, picked up her chopsticks and ate her rice without even picking up any vegetables.
