A few days later, just as Da Qingyan had finished his breakfast, a servant at the door announced that the Eighth Prince's wife had arrived and wished to have an audience with him.

Looking at the blazing sun outside, Qingyan felt puzzled. Why would the Eighth Prince's wife come in such hot weather?

"Princess Consort, Eighth Princess Consort is here." Su Lan stood beside Qing Yan and whispered a reminder to Qing Yan to make a decision in advance.

"Please let her in." Qingyan also wanted to know what the Eighth Prince's wife wanted to do.

Since she schemed against Qingyan last time, the Eighth Prince's wife seemed to have disappeared from Qingyan's life. Today, contrary to her usual behavior, she actually came to visit him directly.

Although Yin was confined to his residence, Kangxi did not strip Yin and others of their banner duties, so Yinsi would definitely pay a visit.

The Eighth Prince's wife was dressed in a bright red palace gown, with three-inch flowerpot shoes on her feet. Her hair was styled into two buns with a five-treasure gold hairpin, and she wore three pearl earrings. She was adorned with jewels and precious stones.

In contrast, Qingyan's banquet was much simpler. Her swallowtail hair was made with only two or three gold hairpins. However, the rose on her headdress was carved from a large red ruby.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, I've come to see you!" Eighth Prince's wife said directly.

"What do you want to do?" Qingyan asked, puzzled. "I didn't send you an invitation!"

Qingyan's words made the Eighth Prince's wife very embarrassed. If Yinsi hadn't insisted that she come, she would never have come in person.

In the eyes of the Eighth Prince's wife, Qingyan and the others had already been confined to their quarters and could no longer compete for that position.

"I just came to see you. I heard that the Fourth Prince has been confined by Father Emperor, so I came to see if you need anything!" the Eighth Prince's wife said haughtily.

"No need. If you have nothing else to do, please leave now!" Qingyan didn't want to have anything to do with her, so she directly served tea and saw her off.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, I came here out of kindness to keep you company, why aren't you grateful at all? I originally said I would help you deliver a letter to your aunt, but judging from the current situation, everything should be alright now," the Eighth Princess said, glancing at Qingyan.

Qingyan placed the cup on the table beside him, his face darkening. Although Lady Jueluo had come with the emperor, she had not met the Eighth Prince's wife at all due to Fei Yanggu's suppression.

"No need, Mother won't want to see you. If there's anything, I'll go directly to Father. You're overthinking it. I'm sure you have many other people to visit, so I won't keep you any longer!" Qingyan said to the Eighth Prince's wife.

The Eighth Prince's wife stared intently at Qingyan and noticed that the Tenth Prince's wife's almond-shaped eyes were filled with disdain. Anger surged within the Eighth Prince's wife, and she stood up abruptly and stormed off.

Qingyan stared at the Eighth Prince's wife's retreating figure. Yin heard that the Eighth Prince's wife had stormed out of the courtyard, so he hurried back from his study. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Qingyan standing there in a daze.

"Little darling, did the Eighth Prince Consort say anything just now?" Yin walked quickly to Qingyan's side and asked in a low voice.

"They said they were going to bring a message to Mother, but I find that very strange," Qingyan said, looking up at Yin.

Yin laughed heartily. Yin Si had been making quite a few moves lately, even contacting Yin's subordinates.

Some of the princes' subordinates lacked resolve, so Yinsi began using the silver that Yin had previously given them to win people over.

"Of course, Father-in-law has been promoted again by Father Emperor and kept in a position by his side." Yin told Qingyan the reason why Yinsi and the Eighth Prince's wife had come.

"Really?!" Qingyan exclaimed in surprise, "Father and Ah Hun have real power?"

All three of Fei Yanggu's father and sons were favored ministers of Emperor Kangxi. Saito and Eshuo had always stayed in the military camp, while Fei Yanggu held a leisurely position, helping Emperor Kangxi keep an eye on court affairs.

Now, Kangxi has put Fei Yanggu in the open, and even Wei Dongting has been urgently summoned into the pass.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ulanara has sent word that he has informed His Majesty and will come to see the Princess Consort today!" Su Peisheng said respectfully as he stood at the door.

As evening fell, Fei Yanggu and Lady Ulanara arrived in the twilight, and Yin personally greeted them in the middle of the courtyard.

"Father, Mother, you've arrived?" Qingyan had specially asked Sulan and Suzhu to prepare a lot of dinner, hoping that Feiyanggu and the others wouldn't worry.

"Little darling, how are you all doing here?" Lady Ulanara asked, holding Qingyan's little hand.

"I feel great, there are no more troubles outside." Qingyan really likes her current life.

"The Eighth Prince's wife has arrived?" Qingyan asked, staring at her. "Mother, the Eighth Prince's wife wants to bring you a message!"

Lady Ulanara's face darkened, and she shifted uncomfortably. Fei Yanggu sighed and recounted everything that had happened in the capital.

It turns out that Jue Luo clan took advantage of the time when their whole family accompanied the emperor to go to the Ulanara residence, directly bribed the two deputy stewards, and extracted a lot of silver and benefits from the residence.

"Mother, what exactly does the Jue Luo clan want to do? Our mansion clearly has its own suppliers, so why have we switched to using the Jue Luo clan's shops?" Qingyan asked curiously.

Lady Ulanara sighed: "The Eighth Prince and his wife have too big an appetite. The entire Jue Luo clan simply cannot afford to provide for them. Every time the Eighth Princess goes back, she asks for money. Therefore, the head of the Jue Luo clan has turned his attention to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. Fei Yanggu wanted to cut off the Jue Luo clan's escape route, but he made concessions again and again out of consideration for Lady Ulanara.

“Madam…” Fei Yanggu looked at Madam Ulanara.

"I won't plead for you!" Lady Ulanara said helplessly. "You can handle it yourselves."

With Lady Ulanara's words, they felt more confident and would act according to the jointly drafted plan if problems arose.

"Fourth Prince, His Majesty must have his reasons for confining you to your quarters this time. Don't panic, things will always be resolved!" Fei Yanggu said to Yin.

“Father-in-law, we all want to take this opportunity to get some rest!” Yin said directly.

Fei Yanggu nodded in relief. If there were no major problems with Yin's side, the rest would be easier to handle.

"If the Eighth Prince's wife comes again, refuse her. The Eighth Prince is probably in trouble soon!" Fei Yanggu knew Kangxi well; the Eighth Prince was going to be punished because he was too involved with the officials in the south.

"Father, do you think it's true?" Qingyan wished that Yinsi would be imprisoned sooner, so she would feel more at peace.
