Yin Hong was so angry that he almost exploded, but when he saw the person coming, he put on his princely demeanor again.
"Uncle Fu, why are you here when you're not with your father?"
Uncle Fu said, hunched over, "The prince is going back to the palace and wants you to go back quickly."
Yin Hong was stunned. "He's going back today. Doesn't father always stay for three to five days when he comes? What's wrong with father? First he wanted to find some fifteen-year-old boy, and now he's suddenly back home. What happened?"
Uncle Fu still looked respectful, lowering his head and saying, "You will know when you return, my prince."
Yin Hong went down the mountain with a confused head.
As soon as he arrived at the carriage, he saw a handsome young man about to get on King Chai's carriage. Yin Hong, still furious, cursed, "Where did you come from, you little bastard? How dare you offend King Chai? Get off now!"
The young man had just climbed onto the cart shaft when he was yelled at. He was at a loss as to what to do, "I...I'm not..."
Yin Hong looked at the servant's clothes on him and said impatiently, "What are you talking about? Get out of here! How dare you stick anything on top of me?"
As he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and the Chai King inside roared, "How outrageous!"
Yin Hong echoed, "How outrageous! I don't know where this bastard came from, but he actually dared to offend father. I'll kick him out right now."
King Chai pointed at Yin Hong and shouted, "Shut up!"
Yin Hong was stunned by the scolding. He pointed at himself and said in disbelief, "Father, are you talking about me?"
"Who else could it be but you? You're so arrogant now, you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of your father. You don't act like a legitimate son at all. Get out of here and ride your horse."
Yin Hong didn't know what was going on, and his mouth was half open, unable to speak.
Although King Chai was not very fond of him, he was still his only son. This was the first time that he was scolded by King Chai, and in public.
At this time, the handsome young man from before spoke up to persuade him, "Your Highness, it's Ah Zhi's fault. Ah Zhi has no manners. I'll just walk below."
When Prince Chai faced Azhishi, he immediately put on a fatherly expression and said, "No, it's not your fault. The road back to the palace is still long. How can you walk down there? Come up quickly."
Looking at Prince Chai at this moment, Yin Hong's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. Prince Chai's temper wasn't violent, but it wasn't good either. How could he be so kind to a servant?
However, before Yin Hong could figure out what this servant had done, King Chai lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."
The wheels rolled on the dirt road, leaving straight marks on the shafts. Yin Hong rode behind the carriage, his horse's hooves messy.

After July 30th, Suman and her friends stayed for two more days before returning.
Along the way, people in the streets and alleys were talking about the latest news in Prince Chai's mansion. It was said that Prince Chai had found his lost son, and not only did he want to record him in the family tree, he also invited all the officials and their families in the city to attend the ceremony.
Almost everyone in Beijing received an invitation, and Yun Xuelan also took the opportunity to deliver the invitation back to the Yun Mansion.
As soon as she placed the gilded red paper on the table, the eldest lady couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on? How did Prince Chai suddenly have a son?"
Yun Xuelan rolled her eyes. "Who knows where this wild bastard came from? He's tricking the prince into a loop, insisting he's the former princess's child. Not only does he want to be included in the family tree, he's also being recorded as the legitimate son."
"A legitimate son?" The eldest lady was surprised. "Doesn't that mean Prince Chai's Mansion has two legitimate sons? If he is really the former princess's child, wouldn't he have surpassed Prince Yin?"
"Tsk, he's just a bastard, his identity isn't even certain, how could he possibly surpass Brother Yin Hong?" Yun Xuelan's face was full of disdain.
When the eldest lady heard Yun Xuelan addressing Yin Hong, she immediately corrected him, "You are now Prince Chai's wife, so you must be careful with your words. You are the prince's concubine mother, how can you call him brother?"
Yun Xuelan's face fell after being poured cold water by the eldest lady. She put down her teacup and said dissatisfiedly, "Prince Chai is already old. The Prince Chai Mansion will belong to Brother Yin Hong in the future. As long as Prince Chai dies..."
"Lan'er!"
The lady interrupted her quickly and turned to the maid and said, "All of you go down."
"yes."
When only the two of them were left in the room, the eldest lady spoke, "Lan'er, the palace is not like home. There are some things you can't say even if you want to. Your Princess Chai is not a pushover. If she gets a hold of you, you won't be able to replace her, and you won't even be able to protect yourself."
Yun Xuelan heard the meaning behind the eldest lady's words and realized that she had something to hide. She pulled the eldest lady aside and asked, "Mother, do you know something?"
The lady said nothing.
Yun Xuelan persisted, "Oh, mother, just tell me what you want to say."
The eldest lady was pestered to no end and could only reveal the truth, "I have only heard a little bit. It is said that the death of the former princess was related to the current princess."
Yun Xuelan's eyes widened. "Are you serious? If I tell the prince, then the princess is doomed, isn't she?"
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. "That old woman keeps asking us favored concubines to follow the rules. If she's finished, I'll be the princess. Then we'll see who dares to go against me. Mother, why didn't you tell me such good news earlier?"
The eldest lady was not as optimistic as she was. She said worriedly, "Princess Chai is very scheming and her tactics are very sinister. I'm afraid you will suffer if you meet her."
Yun Xuelan said indifferently, "She is old and her beauty has faded. What else does she have besides the position of princess? As long as I can overthrow her, my life will be smooth sailing from now on. Mother, you can't stop loving your daughter."
The lady gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, then we must make careful plans."
