"Then Your Highness will go back and wait for Granny." Yinzhen touched his nose, then left, not blaming Granny for her somewhat impolite behavior.

It took less than a quarter of an hour from entering to leaving. Su Peisheng, who was standing to the side, was already used to it. He had been with his master since he was a child, and no one knew better than him how good the relationship between Granny Naqi and his master was.

The two returned to the city, but Yinzhen, who was supposed to return to the Prince's Mansion, suddenly changed direction and headed to another place. Su Peisheng was puzzled but did not ask any questions. He would just follow his master's lead.

After walking for a long time in the west of the city, Yinzhen finally stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated house. Looking at the sign above that read "Yin Residence," and confirming that he had not come to the wrong place, Yinzhen dismounted and glanced at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng understood and went to knock on the door.

Not long after, an old woman came out to open the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The old woman didn't recognize Yinzhen and naturally didn't know how to bow, but she still asked politely.

"How dare you! Do you know..." Su Peisheng shouted angrily upon seeing this.

"Su Peisheng," Yinzhen said, stopping Su Peisheng from saying what he was about to say.

"Excuse me, is this the home of Yin Huan, the registrar?" Yinzhen asked the old woman gently.

"Indeed, and who are you?" The old woman could tell from Yinzhen's appearance that he was no ordinary person, so she cautiously asked.

"Just go in and say that the Fourth Prince needs to speak with him." Yinzhen did not reveal his identity.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The old woman didn't dare close the door, and after saying that, she hurriedly went inside.

A short while later, Yin Huan came out. He was a little stunned when he saw Yin Zhen, and it took him a while to react.

"Your subject greets Your Highness, may Your Highness be blessed." Yin Huan hurriedly knelt down. To be honest, as an eighth-rank official, he had never actually seen Yin Zhen before. However, since his youngest daughter entered the Prince's residence, he had been paying attention to this fourth prince and that's how he came to know what Yin Zhen looked like.

"You recognize me?" Yinzhen was surprised.

"Yes, my daughter has entered Prince's residence," Yin Huan replied in a low voice.

"Get up. You are not only Qing'er's father, but also half of my father-in-law." Yinzhen nodded and entered the Yin residence.

"I dare not accept such an honor." Yin Huan waved his hands repeatedly. Only the father of the principal wife could be called a father-in-law. How could he, a mere princess's father, dare to accept such a title?

"If I say you're qualified, then you are." Yinzhen ignored the terrified Yin Huan.

"..." Yin Huan really didn't know what to say. He was afraid that he might offend this man by saying something wrong. He wasn't afraid, though. He could just quit his official position. But his youngest daughter was in his mansion. If he offended him, he would be fine with punishing him, but if he took his anger out on his daughter, he would be heartbroken.

"I heard Yin Fang is still taking the scribe exam?" After entering the room, Yin Zhen sat down in the main seat without any hesitation.

"Yes, my son is taking the exam this year." Yin Huan didn't dare to sit down, and answered whatever Yinzhen asked.

"Please sit down. I have looked into Yin Fang, and he should be able to pass this year," Yinzhen said casually.

"This doesn't necessarily mean I'll pass the exam. Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness." Yin Huan couldn't understand why this prince had suddenly come to visit today and was now saying all this to him. Could it be that something had happened to his daughter at the prince's residence? Thinking of this, Yin Huan's heart skipped a beat, and worry immediately appeared on his face.

"..." At this moment, Yinzhen realized who his little woman resembled—just as foolish as her father.

"Your Highness, has my daughter offended you in the manor?" Yin Huan became more and more worried, completely unaware of Yin Zhen's expression. Even if he had noticed, he probably wouldn't have thought of anything else.

"...Why do you say that?" Yinzhen didn't expect the topic to take such a turn, but he was still very interested. Hearing Yin Huan say this, could it be that this little woman is very mischievous at home?

“My daughter is unruly. If she has offended Your Highness, please forgive her. I have spoiled her.” Yin Huan did not see the interest in Yin Zhen’s eyes at all, and still thought that his youngest daughter might not be favored in the Prince’s mansion.

"I think the daughter raised by Clerk Yin is quite good." Yinzhen frowned and spoke with displeasure when he heard Yin Huan say this about his woman. Even her father couldn't say anything about someone he couldn't bear to.

"???" Yin Huan was still racking his brains trying to figure out how to appease the Prince, but what was going on?

"Alright, I just came to take a look. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Yinzhen was angry, so he naturally didn't have a good look on his face. He got up and left.

Yin Huan hurriedly saw him to the door and only entered the mansion after Yin Zhen mounted his horse and left. Even now, he still didn't understand why Yin Zhen had come so suddenly. If it was because of his daughter, he now understood a little. His daughter was quite favored in the Prince's mansion, but he didn't know how long this favor would last.

"You, go and tell him about Lady Yin's pregnancy." Yinzhen stopped halfway and looked at Su Peisheng beside him.

“…Yes.” Although Yinzhen did not say who he was talking to, Su Peisheng immediately understood. He felt helpless. Why didn’t he say anything earlier? He must have been angered by Lord Yin. He was somewhat impressed. No wonder Lord Yin could sit in this eighth-rank official position for more than ten years. With his brains, he would probably sit there for life if no one helped him.

"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Yin Huan, who was called out again, did not see Yinzhen and instead looked at Su Peisheng.

"The master sent me to speak with Lord Yin. Consort Yin is pregnant," Su Peisheng said with a smile. There was nothing he could do; the master's daughter was capable, and he doted on her, so he had to be respectful to the father of his favored concubine.

"!!! What Eunuch Su said about Princess Yin is, but..." Yin Huan looked at Su Peisheng with excitement.

“That’s right. I’ve finished speaking, so I’ll head back to take care of my master now.” Su Peisheng smiled and turned to leave.

"Hahaha, my daughter is pregnant! This is such a joyous occasion! Granny Qian, hurry, go buy some good food. I'm going to have a proper celebration with Yin Fang tonight." Not long after Su Peisheng walked away, Yin Huan's happy voice came over.

Su Peisheng shook his head. He really wasn't being modest at all. He then stopped and sped up to catch up with Yinzhen. Even if he went faster now, he wouldn't be able to catch up, but it was better to get back sooner.

Riding at breakneck speed, Su Peisheng returned to the Prince's residence and went straight to the front courtyard, expecting his master to be there. But to his surprise, he found the place empty...
