"I heard that His Highness has already returned to the front courtyard," Luo Kui said.

Yan Nangui smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that it was not bad. If it weren't for his cousin, the Crown Prince probably wouldn't have stayed even for a short while.

"Now, the main courtyard can rest easy, right? One gave birth to a daughter, and the other has no chance." Yan Nangui got up, opened the window, and looked at the rainy night outside.

There was no thunder or lightning today, but the rain was quite heavy.

"Yes. Speaking of which, if the Crown Princess were to give birth to a son, I wonder what would become of the eldest grandson of the Emperor." Jiangxiang came over and draped a robe over her shoulders.

It's already August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Although it's not that cold, it's still chilly on rainy nights.

"Will the weather get colder after this rain?" Yan Nan asked, pulling her clothes closer together.

"Yes. With the weather getting cold, the kitchen has brought in a lot of beef and mutton from the north. We'll have them cook it for you tomorrow," Jiangxiang said.

Yan Nangui smiled and said okay.

As the master and servants spoke, Shuanzi, dressed in thick clothes, stood guard in the corridor.

Several old women guarded the gate; they had their own place to live.

The night at Jiyuexuan was very quiet.

When I went to pay my respects the next morning, the rain had already stopped, and the ground was not so slippery.

When Yan Nangui arrived at the main courtyard, about half of the group had also arrived.

Today, there was one more person: Ning Chenghui, who hadn't shown up for a long time.

She was wearing a pink dress with a matching pink cardigan over it, which looked rather thick.

However, it's cold today, so everyone is wearing more layers.

Upon seeing her arrive, Ning Chenghui also stood up: "Greetings, Consort Yan."

"No need for formalities. It's been a long time. You look quite well, sister." Yan Nangui said with a smile as she sat down.

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Yan." Ning Chenghui sat down.

Consort Luo was in confinement after childbirth, and Consort Su had not yet arrived. Only Consort Murong and Yan Nangui exchanged polite greetings.

Everyone sat and chatted for a bit, all wanting to ask about yesterday's events, but no one dared to bring it up.

Before long, Consort Su arrived.

Everyone stood up to greet her, but she smiled and waved her hand, saying it was unnecessary.

After they were seated, the Crown Princess arrived shortly afterward.

The Crown Princess sat down and first greeted Ning Chenghui.

Ning Chenghui politely thanked him for his concern, as usual.

Then the Crown Princess spoke of Consort Ye: "I sent word yesterday, and I'm sure you all know. Consort Ye is just... alas, her life is so hard."

"Your Highness, please don't be sad. Consort Ye is still young," Consort Su sighed.

"Yes, I had some tonics given to her and told her to take good care of herself. But she can't go to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are already many envoys coming from outside, and princes from various places have already set off." The Crown Princess sighed.

“Ye Liangdi is a concubine. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, can handle these matters. They are not very important,” Yan Nangui said directly.

These words were too direct, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

Su Liangdi chuckled: "Sister Yan, what a mouth you have!"

"To be honest, these things are really nothing, but His Highness the Crown Prince is not young anymore, yet he has few children. He only has two children now. I am not eligible, so it depends on which of my sisters will have another child." Yan Nangui flicked her handkerchief.

This statement carried a hint of self-deprecation.

But it's also quite straightforward.

"Sister, don't say that. You're taking supplements right now. If you take good care of yourself, you'll be able to bear children for His Highness in a few years too," the Crown Princess said with a smile.

"Then I'll take Your Majesty's auspicious words into consideration." That's what she said, but she acted as if she had little confidence and didn't care.

After the greetings were over, the Crown Princess said in a good mood, "Hurry up with the sewing room and get all the clothes made as soon as possible."

"Yes, don't worry, it won't be delayed," Madam He said with a smile.

"Okay, have someone open the storeroom and send some tonics to the Yan family."

"Yes, I reckon she's happy now that she's taken the things," Mrs. He said with a smile.

"This Lady Yan is quite sensible. It's good to reward her. His Highness needs her. If everyone in the inner court were like her, I'd have so much less to worry about. I wouldn't have to chase after her." The Crown Princess sneered, "If Ye Ziyue were more sensible and knew her place, I wouldn't be in this predicament..."

In her view, Ye Liangdi's miscarriage was ultimately related to that incident.

The pregnancy was unstable, and then I got so angry. How could it not have an impact?

"Your Majesty is right," Madam He said with a smile.

Yan Nangui received the reward and, as expected, thanked the visitor profusely and also gave him a reward.

Even if she doesn't need the tonic, can't she just give it away?

Naturally, that's good.

She didn't care what the Crown Princess was thinking.

The important thing is what she can get in return with a few words.

"Liangyuan, there's news from the Yan family," Yuanhua said as she entered.

"Tell me," Yan Nangui said, tossing the items back into the box.

"Yes, they said the second young mistress was punished by being made to kneel in the courtyard and fainted. They summoned the imperial physician."

"...If I remember correctly, Yang has only been in the family for seven or eight days?" Yan Nangui asked.

“That’s right, the wedding is on the second day of the eighth lunar month, and today is only the eighth day,” Yuanhua said.

"Who made you kneel as punishment?" Yan Nangui asked. Was the Princess really being so disrespectful?

“She was forced to kneel by the Second Young Master for disrespecting the Eldest Princess…which angered her,” Yuanhua said.

...

The wild geese flew south, and I remained silent for half a day.

Speaking of extreme cases, this second brother's brain is truly extreme.

"How long did you kneel until the person fainted? And the old lady didn't care?" Yan Nangui sneered, "This family is disgusting."

“This servant doesn’t know, but for her to faint from kneeling… it must have happened quite a while ago. For her to be like this right after her wedding, and it’s clear someone doesn’t want them to have a good time, the news has spread so quickly. I’m afraid the Yang family will find out soon too,” Yuanhua said.

Yan Nangui shook his head: "I wrote a letter to my father."

She didn't care whether this fool was doing well or not, as long as the Yan family as a whole wasn't implicated.

She quickly wrote a letter: "Send it to the main courtyard and have someone tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I request His Highness to send it out as soon as possible."

“Yes, Your Highness would like to see it?” Yuanhua asked.

"I haven't sealed my mouth, so go ahead and look." Yan Nangui waved his hand.

Yuanhua accepted and took it.

Just then, Shu Chengfeng returned.

I took it and opened it once.

He then took out paper and pen, wrote a few sentences, and stuffed them in.

"Send it to General Yan by fast horse," Ding Min replied.

The matter had blown up, and Yan Nanji did feel a little regretful, but he didn't feel sorry for his wife.

I just think it's an ugly mess that everyone outside knows about.

Yang lay there, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment.

She didn't want to marry into the family in the first place.

Who would have thought that the reason she offended the princess was because she arranged the memorial tablet for her real mother-in-law?

Unexpectedly, her husband punished her for this, refusing to listen to her explanation at all.

He even beat his own maid.

At that moment, she truly felt like dying.
