The Duchess retorted angrily, "Madam Pei? Lord Pei? What kind of lady is a criminal? Do you have too much money? You bought a criminal to raise as your own mother? You're easily swayed; this slut must have instigated it again."
He slapped Pei Yue twice, and Pei Yue cried and begged for forgiveness on her knees.
"Please forgive me, Father and Mother."
Yin Xiushan, too lazy to watch her performance, said with a gloomy face, "Yin Jinzhuo, you will move out of the Prince's private courtyard today. Pei Shi is confined to her quarters and is not allowed to go out without my order."
Pei Yue burst into tears, looking at Yin Jinzhuo through her teary eyes.
Yin Jinzhu knelt down with a thud: "Father, if I were to move into my second brother's courtyard, wouldn't the whole mansion laugh at me? How can I be compared to someone like Yin Jin'an?"
Yin Jin'an? Ha!
Yin Xiushan looked at his eldest son, who was taught by a famous teacher by his wife. He was learned, proud and arrogant, and a handsome young man who was highly sought after by the noble ladies of the capital.

Yin Dahai is the housekeeper, and Aunt Yao was the head maidservant of Yin Xiushan's mother when she was alive.
The Duchess's power over managing the household affairs was also stripped away.
Yin Jinzhu crawled to his feet, her eyes red, and said, "Father, how could you treat your son like this? You made me move out of the original courtyard and stripped me of my power to control the Yin family army. Are you trying to force your son to his death?"
Yin Xiushan sneered, "How did you scheme against your brother? And for more than ten years, you've turned the Yin family army into a bunch of useless people. You've wasted a generation, Yin Jinzhuo!"
"Fine, it's settled then. Anyone who says another word will be expelled from the manor."
