Honghui experienced being a trapeze artist and wasn't scared at all; he even wanted to do it again.

When Yinzhen saw that Honghui was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time his anger level soared.

He had just promised his wife that he would not let Honghui be harmed in the future, but who knew that he would be proven wrong so quickly.

Yi Hua was woken up by the noise and rubbed her eyes: "Master, why did the carriage stop? Are we home?"

"Honghui, come in and keep your mother company." Yinzhen took the honey water, watched as Yihua drank half a cup, then called Honghui back and went out himself.

"I wonder which matriarch of the Tong family you are? Yinzhen requests an audience."

Who is in the carriage?

It was none other than Li Si'er, Longkodo's newly acquired concubine. This Lady Li was no ordinary woman. Originally, she was a concubine of Longkodo's father-in-law, but Longkodo took a liking to her and brought her into his household. She was showered with favors and affections, leaving the original wife, Hesheli, with nowhere to even stand.

Li Si'er was a reckless person. She knew that with her background, following Longkodo would lead to no bright future, so she did things only for her own pleasure and never considered the consequences.

Longkodo's repeated indulgence of her only fostered Li Si'er's arrogant and ignorant nature.

"Who?" Li Si'er asked instinctively.

Her maidservant, who was somewhat knowledgeable, bowed her head and replied, "It is the Fourth Prince's carriage, Madam. Let's make way for him."

"Fourth Prince? Let's talk about it after he becomes a prince. No way!" Li Si'er thought about how Longkodo often boasted about how polite the princes were to him. Moreover, the princes that Longkodo always mentioned were either the Prince of Zhi or the Crown Prince. The Fourth Prince hadn't even entered the scene yet, so what was there to be afraid of!

Li Si'er sneered: "Come to think of it, I'm actually your aunt-in-law."

Yinzhen felt that the Tong family had been spoiled by Kangxi and had become arrogant and ignorant. Some people who didn't even know anything dared to be so arrogant.

"Su Peisheng, go and invite the Prefect of the Capital and the Imperial Clan Court. This woman is impersonating a member of the royal family; she deserves to die!" Yinzhen was too lazy to argue with such a person. He had heard about Longkodo's scandalous affairs and roughly knew the woman's identity, which made him even more disgusted. He dealt with her directly.

"Yihua, take Honghui's family with you. It's only a hundred meters from here to the Ulanara residence. I have to go to the palace." Yinzhen didn't want to ruin Yihua's good mood of returning to her parents' home, but he also didn't want to swallow his anger, so he prepared to go to the palace to complain.

"Okay." Yi Hua was still confused. She asked Hong Hui, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"This aunt from the Tong family is so fierce," Honghui sighed, frowning. "She'll whip you at the drop of a hat. She's so shrewish."

The Tong family, the young woman—could she be Li Si'er, the one who turned the first wife into a human pig, the number one concubine of the Qing Dynasty?

Yi Hua was curious and wanted to see what the woman looked like, to see what kind of appearance could make Longkodo so infatuated that he would even abandon his own eldest son.

"No!" Honghui nervously gripped the curtain. "Mother, that auntie is fierce. Be careful of the whip."

Yi Hua finally understood what Hong Hui meant. She took Hong Hui's hand and asked, "Did I hit you?"

"No, no." Honghui shook his head like a rattle drum.

Ha, how dare she wield a whip against Honghui! Yi Hua's eyes gradually sharpened.

At the entrance of the Ulanara mansion, everyone except the old lady came out to greet them. Yi Hua saw her father and mother kneeling down to welcome her from afar. Although she was not the original owner of the body, so many years of living and integrating into the Ulanara family made her feel a deep sense of closeness to the Ulanara family.

Fei Yanggu and his family watched excitedly as Yi Hua led a young child off the carriage.

Yi Hua wanted to bow and greet Fei Yanggu, but he stopped her, saying, "You mustn't do that, Your Highness."

As the distinction between ruler and subject must be clear, Yihua sat down at the head of the table and gestured for Honghui to pay his respects to his maternal grandfather's family.

Fei Yanggu waved at Hong Hui: "This must be Hong Hui. He looks just like our little girl, with eyes that are exactly the same."

Honghui felt the kindness of the old man in front of him: "Honghui greets his maternal grandfather. May his maternal grandfather and grandmother be healthy and live long lives!"

"Alright, alright, come here, Grandpa will take you horseback riding." Fei Yanggu scooped up Honghui, put him on his neck, and the old man and the little boy rushed out like the wind.

Lady Ulanara chuckled: "Your father is still the same old man, like a child. Don't worry, he can take good care of Honghui."

Yihua chatted and laughed with her mother, brothers and sisters. She seemed to have personally experienced the bits and pieces of the past they mentioned. In no time, they were having a lively conversation.

The eldest brother, Xinghui, looked his younger sister up and down, noting that she looked even better than she did at home: "Seeing my sister makes me realize that she is living a comfortable life."

The younger brother, Wuge, chimed in: "Everyone in the capital says that the Fourth Prince dotes on his wife, and it seems that's true. My sister and brother-in-law are a loving couple, envied by all."

Yi Hua blushed slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately did not deny it: "The Fourth Prince is a gentleman who values ​​propriety above all else. As his wife, I naturally deserve his respect."

Lady Ulanara nodded: "The Fourth Prince loves you more than anyone else, so you must also fulfill your responsibilities as a Fujin (principal wife). You should not indulge the concubines too much, nor should you be too harsh on them. Your mother believes you can handle this well."

The sisters-in-law chatted about everyday matters, and the eldest sister-in-law even brought out her eldest son for Yihua to see, specifically pointing out that no one had been placed in the room yet. Yihua understood the implied meaning and her heart stirred.

The child is about the same age as the eldest princess, who apparently married into the Ulanara family in history.

This matter was naturally left to Yinzhen to decide; she couldn't say a word more than necessary.

******

After lunch, Yi Hua felt heavy and needed to rest. Since her boudoir, which she had stayed in before her marriage, was still being cleaned regularly, she moved in with Hong Hui.
