At dawn, Qingyan stood beside Yin, watching Kangxi and Consort Tong's carriages depart. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Yesterday, she had mentioned Tong Guowei's actions to Yin, who simply said that the matter could be left to Fei Yanggu. She sensed his anger in his cold voice.
"Let's go, we're about to board the ship!" Yin pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with anger.
Qingyan obediently walked behind him. Yin and Yingenjueluo exchanged a glance. Who had angered the fourth prince?
Back in her study, Qingyan went to the inner chamber to check on the twins. The two children were still fast asleep. She asked Suzhu to watch over the twins while she went directly to see Yin.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
As soon as she arrived at the door of the study, she heard the sound of something being smashed inside. Qingyan quickly went in and saw Yin angrily smashing porcelain.
Seeing her favorite blue and white porcelain being smashed, Si Si Qingyan raised her voice eight octaves.
Qingyan's clear voice brought Yin back to his slightly lost rationality. He looked up at Qingyan, his phoenix eyes red. The wrath of this sect could melt a person!
"Su Peisheng, clean this place up!" Yin flicked her sleeve, as if she wasn't the one who had just been smashing things.
Yin took Qingyan's hand and walked towards the bedroom in the study. As soon as they entered, Yin pulled Qingyan into his arms. She was held tightly in his arms and had some difficulty breathing.
"Why are you angry, Fourth Prince?" Qingyan asked, puzzled. Why was Yin angry again?
"Little darling, is the Tong family making things difficult for you again?" Yin was a little angry when he heard Kangxi's words. He rarely had the chance to take care of Qingyan, and he couldn't even take care of her dowry.
Qingyan gave a bitter smile: "Luckily, we changed the subject, otherwise, Mother would definitely have been angry."
Yin sighed. His mother always said she wouldn't interfere in Tong Guowei's affairs anymore, but she would always step in whenever a problem arose.
"As long as I don't ruin Linglong Pavilion's reputation, I won't interfere with anything else!" Qingyan said helplessly.
Inside the capital, the manager of Linglong Pavilion closed the shop's doors. He explained why the servants of Tong Guowei's residence had gathered at the entrance. Some officials even used this incident as a negative example to teach their socialites, believing that Tong Guowei had gone too far.
"Shopkeeper, the master hasn't given any major orders yet, and you've already closed the main gate. Won't that anger Consort Tong?" The shop assistants were a little worried. After all, Consort Tong and Qingyan were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If things weren't handled properly, Qingyan would also be in a passive position.
The shopkeeper shook his head. According to usual practice, this matter would definitely be handed over to Fei Yanggu, so he was sure that his old master would let him do as he pleased.
"It's going to be tough on the master's side, so you all need to be extra careful. When you leave the shop, if you run into the Tong family, try to avoid them and don't get into any conflicts with them!" The shopkeeper calculated that this period should be the most difficult, but once it passes, everything should be fine.
Hearing the shopkeeper's assurance, the shop assistants all nodded, promising that they would absolutely not have any conflict with the other party.
On the ship drifting at sea towards the military ports of Guangdong and Guangxi, Yin always kept Qingyan by his side, constantly presenting her with news from the capital. Qingyan felt very good about the series of actions taken by the shopkeeper.
"Si Si, this manager is smart. He knows that Father will definitely not let those people off the hook." Qing Yan laughed. These managers were all carefully selected and were very efficient in handling matters.
Yin coldly laughed: "What use are they if they can't be handled properly?"
She stared at Yin in astonishment: "Fourth Prince, those people are just businessmen, they're probably a little afraid of the wives of officials."
In the business world, there is another saying: businessmen don't fight with officials. Their businesses are entirely in the hands of officials. If they don't properly curry favor with officials or don't have a powerful backer, they may end up losing their entire fortune to someone else.
"Little darling, the managers of Linglong Pavilion and Yuelai Inn were personally selected by my father-in-law and me. Each of them is capable of handling things independently!" Yin soothed Qingyan's agitated emotions and understood that Qingyan was upset.
Inside the military port in Guangdong and Guangxi, Fei Yanggu received a report from the servants of the Ulanara clan. He sneered. Tong Guowei was not taking him seriously. Taking advantage of Yinhe Qingyan's absence on his expedition, he actually dared to attack Linglong Pavilion. He had to admit that Tong Guowei had gone too far.
When Jue Luo noticed that Fei Yanggu's face looked unwell, she quickly came over to ask what had happened, worried that Jue Luo's people had caused trouble again.
When she heard that it was Tong Guowei's lineage that was causing trouble for Qingyan, she was very indignant. Back then, the Jueluo clan always went to Qingyan's Linglong Pavilion to ask for things, and the Jueluo clan could only ask Qingyan to make up for it quietly. During that time, the Jueluo clan was in a similar situation to Consort Tong, and could only try their best to make up for the mistakes of their families!
"Your Majesty, do you think this matter should be handled by Xiao Guai, or should you handle it yourself?" Tong Guowei clearly thought too highly of himself, believing that the Tong family was not only the maternal family of Consort Tong, but also the maternal family of Emperor Kangxi. He thought that if such a thing happened, Emperor Kangxi would stand on the side of the Tong family out of respect for the deceased Empress Dowager Tong.
"I'll handle this myself, Xiao Guai definitely can't do it!" Tong Guowei was preparing to take action against Qing Yan, while Fei Yanggu was even preparing to use his connections in the capital to launch a counterattack.
Tong Guowei has many weaknesses, and since the incident with Si'er, Longkodo has become increasingly unruly and has not been properly managed. Consort Tong has been very troubled by this, and her only younger brother has turned out to be like this.
"Shouldn't the Jue Luo clan be behaving themselves by now?" Fei Yanggu certainly didn't want the Tong family to join forces with the Jue Luo clan.
"Of course, Qingyan helped the young ladies in the family find such a good marriage, they will definitely be happy!" Jue Luo smiled helplessly.
In Fei Yanggu's and hers' eyes, the Eighth Master was not a good match at all. However, in the eyes of the Jue Luo clan's patriarch, this was the only way for the Jue Luo clan to make a comeback!
"Fine, as long as the future Eighth Prince's wife doesn't cause trouble for Qingyan!" Fei Yanggu sneered.
Based on his actions during the Spring Festival, this Eighth Prince's wife must not be easy to get along with. There wasn't much contact between the sisters-in-law, so he just reminded Qingyan to be careful when he saw her.
"It shouldn't be like that. I told those people that if they want this position, they shouldn't cause any more trouble for Qingyan!" Jue Luo said helplessly.
