Inside the commercial street, the shopkeepers and stall owners were unaware of the commotion outside. They only knew that a distinguished guest would be visiting today, so they kept quiet and focused on doing business, hoping to save more money for their families.

This year has been a good year, with the royal family visiting this place for the first time to watch the tidal bore. Upon hearing this news, everyone quickly stocked up on more exquisite items in their shops.

The shopkeepers below had their families prepare quite a few things, some rather simple items, which also had a touch of rustic charm.

Qingyan walked into the night market, and the surrounding vendors started calling out to attract customers as soon as they saw him.

The twins looked at the items on the stall with great interest. For some of the items they liked, Su Zhu paid for them directly. Meanwhile, Yin and Yin strolled around with their respective wives, feeling quite at ease.

There are quite a few guards protecting the children, so there shouldn't be any trouble.

"Why did you let go today?!" Yin Genjue Luo was very puzzled.

Qingyan rarely lets the twins go out alone. When the First Princess Consort mentioned it, she just smiled.

“Yiken’e is getting old and should face these things alone.” Qingyan specially asked Yin to prepare some music for the two of them, at the very least, so that the twins would know the role of silver and how much silver was used for those things outside. “I don’t want the children to be completely ignorant of the outside world. They can’t be ignorant of the difference between silver and copper coins, can they? If they are, the servants will definitely be able to embezzle a lot.”

Qingyan's words surprised Lady Yingenjueluo. Her two children were born into the royal family, so they could simply restrain the people below them.

Now, however, Lady Yin Genjue Luo felt that Qing Yan was right, and it seemed that she needed to change her mind.

"Little darling, do you think any royal children have been deceived?" Yingenjueluo Shi watched the three children making a fuss. Unlike the twins, Songkelierha was seeing copper coins for the first time.

“Definitely, it would be excellent to let Songkri Erhado see it!” Qingyan said directly.

Yin Genjue Luo smiled and occasionally asked about the price of the food, but she rarely mentioned the prices here compared to the servants in the mansion.

"Little darling, you know what, there really is a big difference." After returning home, Madam Yin Genjue Luo had to deal with the purchasing staff at the villa.

Qingyan also said it on purpose that Yingenjueluo and others were all deceived, and that the servants were all united in their efforts to conceal the truth from their masters.

"Little darling, are you sure these are the real prices?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi did a quick calculation and found that the prices differed by more than ten times.

“Sister-in-law, of course it’s not the real price!” As soon as Qingyan finished speaking, Yin Genjue Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief, “It has been inflated several times over.”

Seeing that the two were chatting happily in the back, Yin and Yin did not ask any questions. At this moment, Yin noticed that Yin Genjue Luo Shi's face was not good, so he quickly turned around and walked over.

After the two brothers learned the truth, Yin immediately became happy.

"Fourth brother, do you know?" Yin looked at Yin without any surprise, "You've discovered these things?"

"Of course, in Suzhou and Hangzhou, our servants are even more careful in their offerings," Yin said helplessly.

Yinwei frowned slightly: "Fujin, after we get back, we need to investigate this thoroughly. Our expenses have increased since we went south."

Previously, she had inquired about Qingyan's expenses and felt that the two residences differed by half, but she didn't want to tell Yin about it.

"Master, you don't care at all? I've told you so many times!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi was exasperated.

"Brother, let Bayan and Erlu take the children out for a stroll. Let's go to Yuelai Inn and let the children explore more. It won't hurt!" Yin and Qingyan shared the same idea, wanting the boys to have a good time.

Yin and Yin exchanged a glance, then went directly to the Yuelai Inn.

Behind these three children, there are quite a few protectors, both overt and covert.

Inside the private room, after the four people were seated, Yin looked in Yin's direction, preparing to ask about these matters.

"The purchasing agents sent by the Cao family mostly buy things from the Cao family's shops, and those are all very expensive," Yin said directly.

Upon hearing this, Yin's mood became even more depressed.

"Fourth brother, were all the servants in our villa bought from those shops?" Yin asked.

"Of course, I specifically had Bayan follow them. All the servants from the other courtyards went there to buy things!" Yin said regretfully.

The Cao family pocketed the imperial silver, but remained outwardly calm.

"Does Father really not know?" Yin asked.

"They should know, as several of these shops are under Li Xu's name!" Yin said helplessly.

Yin took a sip of tea, feeling increasingly uneasy. If Kangxi knew, why didn't he stop it?

“Sister-in-law, you also have business here. Have those shops been secretly raising prices?” Yin Genjue Luo Shi roughly calculated that she had paid half again as much.

"That's probably true. Most of the things we bring in are purchased individually by these people; the shops don't stock them anymore," Qingyan explained briefly. "Most importantly, if we ask about these things, the servants will say that we can't buy them from the common people, for fear of causing trouble!"

Qingyan had also inquired, and the servants gave her a high-sounding answer: what if these people were actually from the south in disguise? Wouldn't that put their masters in danger?

"Hmph, those are all excuses," said Yin Genjue Luo Shi.

Yin slammed the teacup down on the table, his face growing even more grim.

"These lackeys are all rats!" Yin shouted angrily.

Yin did not say a word. Servants must be restrained repeatedly. If the masters know something about the outside situation, they will not be kept in the dark.

"Is this why I let the three children go shopping on their own?" Yin suddenly understood. Yin was teaching the children through his actions.

“Yes, Hutulifengshengzhalafen and Songkelierha are in charge of the household, while Yiken’e will have to face these things on his own!” Yin nodded, indicating that the three children would have to deal with some things on their own.

"Brother, this is the only arrangement I can make!" Yin said helplessly.

"Master! I also think this is a very good idea!" said Madam Yin Genjue Luo, who felt that the arrangement was excellent.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. You can make the arrangements. Fujin, you will start handling things tomorrow and send all those people back!" Yin will not allow anyone to betray him, especially these servants who have connections with the Cao family. This is something he absolutely cannot allow.
