The girl looked up with a wronged expression, and Qingyan felt nervous. Could this person be someone that the Dong E family had carefully prepared for Yin?

Her mannerisms and expressions are untrained and certainly wouldn't reach that level.

"Who are you?" Yin frowned. He never expected that someone would disregard him and dare to provoke him like this.

He Shun looked at the woman and his heart skipped a beat. This woman had to appear in front of the Fourth Master at this time. Princess Qingyan was still young. What extreme things was she going to do?

"This servant is Dong E Wan Ting!" Dong E Wan Ting considered herself to be incomparably beautiful, and believed that Yin must have taken a liking to her, which was why he asked about her identity.

He Shun wanted to cover her face. She had already been lectured by Lady Dong'e for seducing the Third Prince, but now she wasn't even letting the Fourth Prince off the hook. How was she going to explain this to the Third Prince?

Actually, the Third Prince originally wanted to bring both sisters under his command.

"Fourth Brother, why are you still so slow?" Yin Zhi had been waiting for Yin, as everyone knew the Fourth Brother disliked social engagements. "Wan Ting, why are you kneeling here?"

"Third Prince, I was very prepared to pay my respects to Granny Ma, but I ran into this gentleman!" Wan Ting noticed that Yin's attitude was indifferent, so she simply shifted her attention to Yin Zhi.

At this moment, Dong'e Wan Ting's terrified expression made Yin Zhi secretly burst into laughter. Since childhood, Yin had liked to wear a stern face, and today, he was even showing fear to the children of his ministers.

If Father finds out, will he directly reprimand him?

"Get up, look at your crying face!" Yin Zhi was a man who cherished women. He was determined to have the twin sisters, Dong E Shi and Dong E Wanting, and he would not make any concessions even if they were his own brother.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin's face turned completely black. He exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, which made Qingyan burst into laughter. It was just too funny.

"Yin, for the sake of Third Brother, spare her, okay?" Yin Zhi couldn't ignore Wan Ting's expectant eyes, and in the end, he still pleaded for her.

Yin nodded, while Qingyan's inner voice watched the scene with amusement. Yin Zhi was clearly a bookworm, trying to seduce him. This was the consequence of her failed attempt to seduce Yin.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Dong Eshi dressed in a dark purple cheongsam, her hair adorned with purple jade and gold hairpins, her face painted deathly pale. Qingyan found her somewhat vulgar.

Girls of their age should reduce their makeup use, as their skin is still very delicate. However, the use of makeup inevitably raises suspicions that some children are secretly using their mothers' cosmetics.

"What are you doing here?" Dong'e noticed that Dong'e Wanting was looking at Yinzhi with admiration, but she was exuding an unfriendly aura. Yinzhi was careless and did not realize the woman's scheming.

“Sister, I…” Dong E Wan Ting shrank back a little, “I just wanted to come and pay my respects to Grandma.”

Seeing her trembling, Yin Zhi couldn't help but think that Lady Dong'e had gone too far. She was even attacking her own sister.

"Hmph!" Dong E snorted coldly.

Yin Zhi was foolish, and Dong E Wan Ting clearly saw Yin's potential and hoped to seduce him.

"Alright, let's go see the old lady first." Yin had no interest in helping Yin Zhi get rid of his unwanted romantic entanglements. He took Qingyan's hand and followed the fuming Dong E Shi away.

Qingyan chuckled. Just now, when she glanced back, Yinzhi looked completely bewildered, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong to make his younger brother so disgusted with him.

This time, the Dong'e clan made its utmost effort. The old lady's birthday celebration not only invited ministers, but also the three princes who were raised outside the palace. The eldest prince sent someone to deliver birthday gifts, while Yin came in person to offer his congratulations. The Dong'e family was extremely prestigious for a time.

"Hurry up and change into a festive outfit!" Yin Zhi noticed that Dong E Wanting's light pink cheongsam looked a bit worn, and her headdress was not as exquisite as Dong E's.

"This servant...this is the best outfit I have!" Dong'e Wanting said bitterly. Madam Dong'e never provided herself with decent clothes; these were all left by her concubine. Back then, she was extremely favored, which allowed her to have so much fine fabric, and she could only alter one outfit a year.

Yinzhi was very surprised; Lady Dong'e didn't look like her.

"Wait a moment, I'll send you some fabric!" Yin Zhi helped Dong E Wanting up, feeling sorry for this young girl, and couldn't help but instinctively reject Dong E Shi.

If a mother is so jealous, how much more so would her daughter be?

Lady Dong'e was unaware that even before her marriage, she had already left Yinzhi with the impression of being jealous. In the prince's quarters, if any of the concubines were slightly wronged, Yinzhi would reprimand her severely—but that's another story.

Now, Lady Dong'e was looking at Qingyan with a smug smile, a look of schadenfreude in her eyes. The old Lady Dong'e disliked Qingyan, and her words were often barbed.

"Princess Ulanara said she was unwell and even sent a letter of apology. I never expected that the princess would come in person with the fourth prince!" The old lady of Dong'e clearly accused Qingyan of being unfilial, as her own mother was bedridden, yet she dressed up in a flamboyant manner to attend the gathering.

Yin squinted. This ungrateful wretch! Luckily, there weren't many noble ladies in the hall, but he couldn't let Qingyan bear such a stigma.

"Madam, you may not know this, but Lord Fei Yanggu specifically mentioned to me that he wanted Qingyan to come out and relax. Qingyan has been too anxious about Lady Ulanara's affairs lately." Yin thought he had smoothed things over with one sentence. Outside the door, Yin Zhi heard Madam Dong'e's words and couldn't help but feel disgusted. The royal family's daughter-in-law should not be talked about. He could clearly see the gloating look on Madam Dong'e's face.

“Previously, Fourth Brother said he wasn’t coming. I had He Shun repeatedly tell them to let them out after the birthday celebration.” Yin Zhi pulled Dong E Wan Ting into everyone’s view. This reversal of events enraged Dong E Shi. “He Shun, go and take a few bolts of the bright fabrics that Mother bestowed upon Wan Ting, as well as some jewelry that you found at Mei Ai’s shop. Give her two sets of the lighter ones as well.”

Yin Zhi's words were like two slaps to the face of Old Madam Dong'e. The noblewomen present were all discerning; Dong'e Wanting's clothes were clearly altered from adult garments, and the headdress was not something someone her age should wear. At this moment, the Dong'e family's mistreatment of their illegitimate daughter was exposed.

Dong Eshi was still young, and she couldn't suppress the resentment on her face.

Comparing the two Miss Dong'e, the legitimate daughter was radiant and wore luxurious brocade, while the illegitimate daughter was reduced to dust.

"Yes, this servant is awake." In the mansion, He Shun was often scolded by Lady Dong'e and Lady Dong'e, as if they were his masters. Lady Dong'e always considered herself the primary consort, and he knew that Dong'e Wanting was a concubine's daughter, and that being a secondary consort was the end of her career.
