I'm afraid he won't vent his anger on me. If he has the ability, just kill me!
Yinreng shrugged but didn't say the words.
Yinqi laughed.
"Aren't we the ones who are taking advantage of Second Brother's actions? I was thinking of keeping those two women in the yard as maids, but now they don't have to."
"So Lao Wu thinks so too."
Yinzhen also had a smile on his face.
"How else should I deal with it? I don't want to get myself into trouble for no reason. Who knows what will happen in the future."
"So I'm still kind. I planned to keep them in the main hall and serve them tea and water."
Yinyou also joined the discussion, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.
Yinzhi felt a little embarrassed.
It turned out that none of his brothers had such an idea, and he was the only one who planned to bring the person back to Kyoto.
"Alright, stop teasing and go back to bed. We should have some errands to do tomorrow."
Yinreng started to chase them away, and his brothers filed out.
After everyone left, Yinreng sighed deeply.
He could guess with his toes what would happen to the two women.
If he had kept her as a maid and not taken her with him when he returned to Beijing, the two of them would at least have survived.
Now that he has made such a fuss, I am afraid that there is only one way out, and that is death.
People living at the bottom of society have no right to talk about human rights...
He had known this for a long time and forced himself to be a cold-blooded person.
Yinzhi and Yinzhen lived next to each other, and when they were about to reach Yinzhi's residence, he asked,
"Fourth Brother, don't you really think that Second Brother's behavior is becoming increasingly absurd?"
Yinzhen stopped and turned to look at Yinzhi.
"What is absurd?"
His tone was not good.
Yinzhi also stopped, frowned and thought of a word,
"It's just...breaking the rules."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's lips curled up in a mocking arc, but it was dark and even with the lantern, Yinzhi couldn't see clearly.
"I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks my second brother is absurd!"
"Fourth Brother, ask yourself, if you allow your second brother to offend the entire court like this, his situation will only become more difficult in the future. I'm not being a gossip, I'm just worried about your second brother."
Yinzhi's face also darkened.
He heard the sarcasm in Yinzhen's words.
Yinzhen looked at Yinzhi's face quietly, as if he wanted to see through his flesh and blood to see his truest thoughts.
The atmosphere became cold and solemn for a moment.
After a long time, Yinzhen opened his lips,
"This court is filled with filth. Everyone seems to be forced to do things against their will, but the truth is, they are only satisfying their greed. If Cao Yin hadn't done such a foolish thing today, how would Second Brother have the time to care about his life or death?"
"Have you ever considered that if Second Brother accepted those two women today, and Cao Yin thought he had established a close relationship with the Crown Prince, and used Second Brother's name to stir up trouble here, how would Second Brother handle it? Ultimately, Second Brother is the victim, and all this is Cao Yin's fault."
After Yinzhen finished speaking, he walked towards his own yard, his last words floating in the air -
"Third brother, your heart is biased, so your perspective on things is also biased."
Yinzhi froze in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
In the county magistrate's quarters, Cao Yin and Li Xu were facing each other in their tents when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside.
"Master! Master! Something bad has happened!"
Cao Yin and Li Xu looked at each other, and both of them felt a pang in their hearts.
Then he quickly stood up and went out to greet him. As soon as he went out, he saw Cao Yin's attendant rushing towards him in a panic.
"Oh no, Master! The Crown Prince...he sent a team to bring back the two girls you sent!"
"What did you say?!"
Cao Yin was still a little slow to react. Li Xu pondered for a few breaths, and suddenly his head felt dizzy.
"You mean the prince made a big fuss and announced that we sent him a maid?!"
Cao Yin was stunned when he heard this.
"How could the prince...how could he..."
The long-servant's face was filled with anxiety.
"Yes, sir, the team will arrive at the county government office soon. Please think of a solution!"
But just as he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door, and the guards at the gate announced,
"Master Cao, the nobles from the palace are looking for you!"
Upon hearing this, sweat began to appear on Li Xu's face, but Cao Yin had already calmed down.
"Let's go to the gate and greet this... distinguished guest from the palace!"
He knew that he couldn't lose his composure now. Even though everyone knew that the two women he sent were bed-warming maids, he had to pretend that they were just cleaning maids.
Cao Yin walked out of the courtyard calmly, and what caught his eye were more than a dozen men dressed in blue and black guard uniforms.
A hint of gloom flashed across Cao Yin's eyes.
In fact, he had heard that the prince always acted on his own and did not care about the lives of others.
But he thought that he was the emperor's confidant, and even if the prince did not accept his kindness, he could not openly humiliate him.
However, facts told him that he had miscalculated.
"This servant greets Lord Cao."
The young eunuch Xia Qing smiled kindly.
Cao Yin walked out of the door, stood in front of the young eunuch, bowed and said,
"Excuse me, sir. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Xia Qing. You sent these two girls to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said he had no need for servants, so I sent them back to you."
Xia Qing understood the nature of this task and did not intend to argue with Cao Yin any further, so he told him the whole story directly.
There were more than just Cao Yin and Li Xu living in the official residence. It was just getting dark, and the families next door were almost all still awake.
They didn't dare to watch Cao Yin's excitement openly, but they didn't want to miss the opportunity to watch the fun.
So they all opened a small crack at the back of the door and listened carefully to the noise outside.
The smile on Cao Yin's face remained unchanged.
"In that case, thank you for your help, eunuch. I had thought that you were all exhausted from the journey and that Your Highness didn't have enough people around you. Now it seems that you are in much better spirits than I..."
"We are all serving the master, how dare we slack off?"
Xia Qing glanced at the two trembling women behind him with a smile.
"I have delivered the person to you, my Lord, and now it is time for me to return. The Crown Prince cannot leave his presence alone!"
Cao Yin waved his hand behind him.
"Excuse me, eunuch..."
The chief attendant stepped forward very tactfully and, while receiving the two maids, stuffed a purse into Xia Qing's hand.
Xia Qing, however, felt as if his butt was on fire, and he shuddered and stepped back...
