Chapter 163
Zhang elegantly picked up a crystal clear grape, gently put it into her mouth and chewed it, with a faint smile on her face. She said softly, "Sixth Miss has come back this time, so she must teach him a lesson and let him know who is the real mistress in this house and in this backyard."
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a shrewd light flashed in her eyes, and then continued: "As for the Li you mentioned, even if the Sixth Miss married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and was favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would never dare to easily interfere in Li's affairs. After all, this is the family affair of the Yin Mansion, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in a position to interfere in the affairs of the Yin Mansion's backyard."
At this point, her tone became somewhat cold and ruthless, "If this matter still cannot be properly resolved, then just send Li away! Anyway, no one will care about her sick body in the underworld. What's more, for the future of the Sixth Miss, she must be willing to go to another world."
After saying these words, Zhang laughed again, but this time there was a chilling coldness in her laughter.
Madam Liu responded, "Madam, you are wise. I will definitely send someone to keep a close eye on Li's Yiju Courtyard. If Li and the Sixth Miss have any contact, I will immediately arrange for someone to report to you."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "It's just that the Sixth Miss has grown up now, and it's really hard to completely control him. If he sneaks out to find Li, and we don't notice it, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Zhang couldn't help but snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on her face, and said coldly: "Humph, when the Sixth Miss returns to the Yin Mansion, everything will remain the same. Lock him in the small attic behind the Yimei Courtyard as before. No matter where he wants to go, he must report to me first. In this way, even if he has great abilities, he can't do anything else!"
Zhang smiled and handed the remaining fresh grapes to Aunt Liu, saying with a smile, "Come, Aunt Liu, there are still some grapes here, you can try some too."
Matron Liu bowed quickly and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam, for your gift. I'm afraid only our four great families have the financial resources and ability to eat such fresh grapes in this deep winter season. As an old servant, it is also thanks to you, madam, that I can taste such a delicacy." After saying that, she carefully picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, savoring the sweet taste.
"But madam, if Aunt Feng can really meet your requirements, will you really find a good marriage for Sister Feng and Sister Yao?" Madam Liu asked cautiously, her eyes flickering.
Zhang sat upright, her body straight, and answered with a firm and confident look, "That's for sure. However, this marriage can be good or bad. I just need to sit alone on the high platform and watch the fight between tigers." The corners of her mouth rose slightly with a sly smile.
The old woman was a little confused and continued to ask: "Madam, what do you mean..."
Zhang's eyes flashed with a shrewd look, and she explained slowly: "Marry the Sixth Miss to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Sister Feng or Sister Yao to the First Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince are the most likely to inherit the throne. No matter who of them ascends the throne in the end, whether they will fight to the death, we can stay out of it.
As long as a few concubines' daughters are sacrificed, the whole chess game can be revitalized and supreme glory can be brought to the entire family. Such a good thing, why not do it!
My second and seventh daughters just need to marry into a good family, enjoy a peaceful and happy life. ”
After saying this, Zhang smiled triumphantly, as if she had already seen a bright future. After hearing this, Matron Liu couldn't help but secretly smack her lips in amazement, and felt deeply impressed by the lady's scheming and strategy.
At the same time, I feel sorry for those concubines' daughters who are about to be drawn into the vortex of power struggle, but I can do nothing about it. After all, in this family, they are destined to be sacrifices in exchange for greater benefits.
A smug smile appeared on Zhang's face, which was full of confidence and pride, as if she had already controlled the fate of the women in the Yin Mansion's backyard.
However, things are unpredictable. Even if she thinks her plans are flawless, fate often turns out to be unexpected. Zhang never imagined that in the near future, the things she cherished and loved most would be ruthlessly taken away, leaving her extremely heartbroken.
The pain is like thousands of needles piercing the heart at the same time, which is beyond words; and the inner trauma is so deep that it makes people feel desperate...

On the other side, Yin Zijin and others got on the carriage. It took a quarter of an hour until all the things were moved. The things filled up three large carriages.
After packing their things, the group walked slowly towards Yin's Mansion at a leisurely pace. The servants who were following not far away were cautiously discussing in low voices: "Huh? Look, there's a man following the Sixth Miss! This is really strange!"
One of them couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, don't talk nonsense! That's not a man, but a eunuch! The reason why he can accompany the girl is because of this identity."
You know, the Yin family is a prominent family, and the family etiquette and rules are numerous and complicated. In such an environment, how could a normal man be allowed to stay with an unmarried girl all the time?
But then again, the eunuch looked no different from an ordinary man, but he always stayed by the girl's side like a shadow, which didn't seem quite right...
By the time everyone returned to Yin's Mansion, night had already fallen completely, but the snow on the ground made it seem like daytime. There were six or seven large carriages that drove in from the side door of Yin's mansion.
The door leading to the back house was very narrow, and Yin Zijin could no longer ride in the carriage. So he had to get off the carriage first, and then with the help of A Tian, he got into a sedan chair carried by four people. Four old maids carried the sedan chair and a group of maids and servants and slowly drove towards Yimeyuan. The servants were left in the front yard.
As soon as they arrived at Yimei Courtyard, before Yin Zijin and the others even reached the door, a well-dressed, smiling nanny quickly stepped out to greet them: "Sixth Miss is back! Madam has been waiting for a long time."
Before long, the news of the Sixth Miss's return reached Zhang's ears. Nanny Liu lifted the door curtain and welcomed Yin Zijin and others into the inner room with a smile.
