Inside the Yuelai Inn, many diners watched the farce unfold with great interest.

Qingyan leaned against the stair railing, watching the young woman below. The calculating look in the other woman's eyes made her especially wary.

It was peak dinner time, and a major reason she dared to go through all this trouble was that Qingyan wouldn't want to lose face.

After Qingyan went upstairs, every move he made was under the watchful eyes of the young woman.

“Little darling, go back first. Don’t you think it’s beneath you to argue with a woman like that?” E Shuo advised.

"Ah Hun, you can't touch this woman. I'm a woman, so it's perfect for me to deal with her!" Qingyan understood that the other party's pawn, Hong, was hoping to find a woman of high status at the Yuelai Inn so that he could climb the social ladder.

She prepared everything meticulously, from her clothes to her jewelry.

Men love to pity the weak, and her pitiful expression contrasted sharply with Qingyan's domineering nature.

"Who are you?" A young man in his twenties, a playboy, walked in from the outer perimeter. He wore a red sash around his waist, indicating that he was a member of the imperial family.

Qingyan gave a cold smile; the innocent girl's target was about to appear.

"My lord, my hometown suffered a disaster, and my father and I had no choice but to come to the capital as singers, hoping to find a way to make a living. Today, I only came to the Yuelai Inn to sing in order to earn rent, but who knew I would offend this princess..." Little White Flower looked at the other party with tears in her eyes.

Qingyan looked down at the person in red ribbon. Who exactly was this person?

“They’re from the direct line of Dodo’s illegitimate son’s branch. They don’t seem to be very ambitious.” E’Shuo saw his sister frowning and knew what the little one was thinking.

She felt like sitting down to watch the show; standing on the flowerpot shoes was really tiring.

By this time, most of the ladies in the private rooms on the third floor had come out, and Qingyan recognized some of them.

Yin Genjueluo's father was celebrating his sixtieth birthday, and Yin left the palace early with Yin Genjueluo. Unexpectedly, the two of them met here again.

Qingyan turned her head and saw that Yin was only dressed in ordinary clothes and not wearing a yellow sash. She was completely relieved. She couldn't let Yin Genjue Luo's happiness be ruined just to watch a play.

"Move some chairs, you two can watch here." Yin wasn't interested in these things, but he was at ease if Yin Genjue Luo wanted to watch. "Little darling, I'm entrusting your sister-in-law to you."

After Yin finished speaking, he gave some instructions to Yin Genjue Luo Shi and then went directly to the private room.

Surrounded by guards, E'shuo went to the shopkeeper to get some tea and snacks, the essentials for watching a play.

"Little darling, is your eldest brother engaged yet?" The Yin Genjue Luo family has a younger sister who has been pampered since childhood and doesn't care about the power struggles of the big family. The family finally managed to ask Emperor Kangxi to exempt her from the selection process, so they came to ask if E Shuo was married.

“It won’t work even if we don’t have one. The higher-ups want to bestow a marriage upon us, but none of the three of us can get Father to make the decision. Father got angry about it.” Qingyan shrugged helplessly. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she simply had no choice.

Yin Genjue Luo smiled. Her family had already guessed that the two legitimate sons of the Ulanara family definitely didn't have any autonomy. Now, she was just asking to put her mind at ease.

"Didn't the fourth prince come out to keep you company?" The two of them had a very good relationship, much better than the relationship between Dong Eshi.

"No, I have to do my homework. Sister-in-law, why did my brother actually come back with you for your birthday?" Qingyan thought Yin was a boorish man who would never be considerate of those around him, but now he has done a very good job.

Yin Genjue Luo smiled. Yin's thoughtfulness was also due to his guidance. To be honest, she was very grateful to Xiao Guai for changing Yin and also transforming him in the process.

"Waaah... Please let me go... I just want a peaceful place with my father, I won't become someone else's concubine." The woman's cries made Qingyan frown.

Not even members of the royal family with red sashes are acceptable?!

"Sister-in-law, after we're done, don't go out the front door with my brother. Go through the back door and my private staircase!" The two women exchanged a glance, their expressions now filled with worry.

This woman is no ordinary person.

If she really was a singer, wouldn't she be overjoyed to leave if a red ribbon took a liking to her?

"Little darling, how could Yuelai Inn have been tricked?" Yin Genjue Luo asked worriedly.

"Hmph, isn't it just because they're jealous!" Qingyan was annoyed. Today's incident had caused quite a stir, and tomorrow her father would definitely have to argue with her in the Golden Palace.

Is this a pretext to target the Ulanara family?

"Perhaps you've made a scapegoat for my husband!" Yin Genjue Luo felt something was amiss, believing that someone knew Yin had arrived and that's why they sent such a person.

After becoming wary, Qingyan observed the girl more carefully. Her eyes were unfocused, and her pink lips pleaded pitifully, while her gaze kept sweeping over the three floors.

"Akedun, was that person brought in by Imperial Censor Liu? Has he been here before?" Qingyan summoned the steward and asked in a low voice.

Yin Genjue Luo Shi's head suddenly felt like it was going to explode. Imperial Censor Liu was a trusted henchman of the Suo'etu clan. Why would he bring people here at this time?

Seeing that her face was pale, Qingyan couldn't help but pat her hand.

“This time, my guess might be right!” Lady Yin Genjue smiled bitterly. “There are still servants in the mansion who betray their masters.”

Qingyan expressed her understanding, saying that people in the new house also used her handkerchief to curry favor with others.

At this moment, E'shuo whispered a few words in her ear, and her little face scrunched up.

The Fourth Prince is indeed a scourge!

She knew that Suo'etu would cause trouble while she was in the palace, yet she didn't warn him.

"The person who understands you best is actually Fourth Master!" E Shuo couldn't help but chuckle.

Stinky!

Qingyan angrily clutched her small handkerchief; the purse she was going to give to Sisi tomorrow was gone!

She complained arrogantly.

"Little darling, let them finish the show!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi smiled. Yin was inside drinking with several powerful ministers of the family, while she watched the show with ease.

Qingyan took a sip of tea, pondering how to get the woman to leave quickly.

"Young lady, singing is strictly prohibited at Yuelai Inn." The innkeeper dared not continue; wasn't this a clear insult to their dignity?

Absolutely not!

The masters were all watching, and the shopkeeper was sweating profusely with anxiety. Qingyan, on the other hand, felt quite amused. This person was never satisfied, and his end probably wouldn't be good.

"Big brother, take a good look at that woman. Doesn't she look familiar?" Qingyan blinked. She hadn't noticed her before.

This woman bears a striking resemblance to the illegitimate daughter sent by the Uya clan to cause trouble.

Eshuo joined them in the disaster relief efforts, but did not go to that village.

"Does it look familiar?" asked Yin Genjue Luo Shi from the side.

"Yes!" Qingyan, disregarding the rule that sharing joy is worse than keeping it to herself, told her what had happened at the disaster relief site. (To be continued.
