The group returned to the naval port, where Yin and his brother came out to greet them. Songkelierha had been eagerly anticipating their return, and the twins had promised to bring some fun things from the south.
"Good heavens, you're finally back!" Yin patted Yin on the shoulder twice. "Did that guy cause you trouble when you went south this time?"
Yin smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. He stood silently to the side, while Yiken ran over early, calling out "Uncle Ten" repeatedly.
"How was your time, you two?" Yin picked up the twins, looked them over, and asked Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen.
"It's a lot of fun, but none of us can get out!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen complained.
Back in the study, Yin and Yin sat down, waiting for Yin Jiangnan's situation.
"Is the situation in the south really that tense, as the little girl said?" Yin also had some concerns. "He has also been spreading rumors about the military port. Could it be that the Crown Prince is causing trouble again?"
"I suppose so. The Hesheli clan started the trouble first and has already established deep connections with the Mongols. In addition, there's the issue of the arranged marriage between Yinzhi and the Mongol noblewoman," Yin said helplessly.
Upon arriving at the naval port, the group didn't even have time to rest. Su Zhu led the nannies to take care of the five young masters, leaving only the adults in the study.
"Fourth Brother, has Eighth Brother gotten married?" Yin didn't return to the capital; he forgot to inform the people in the capital to prepare things.
“Your fourth sister-in-law has already sent over all the gifts for the three of us, so they’ve all been sent over!” Yin said. “Eighth brother will be heading south soon.”
Yin sneered: "Setting up camp now? What excuse are you using to leave the capital?"
“They’re on their honeymoon,” Qingyan answered for Yin. “Besides, when we came back, the Eighth Prince had already gone!”
Yin remained silent. The Eighth Prince would never let any opportunity slip by. In the past, Yin Si had always acted obediently in front of Kangxi. However, after Guo Luoluo prepared to divorce, Kangxi's gaze towards Yin Si changed, as if Yin Si was not as obedient as he appeared.
"Tenth Prince, you stay at the naval port and wait for your sister-in-law to come over in a while." Following Kangxi's instructions, Yin hurried from the capital to this location.
Yin's complexion improved considerably, and he was even happier. Kangxi still had his own heart and could understand the difficulties of being a son.
"Fourth Brother, are you serious?!" Yin was overjoyed. "Fourth Brother, could you please help Fourth Sister-in-law decorate the courtyard? I'll cover whatever it costs!"
"Alright, I'll handle this. No need for the expenses. As your sister-in-law, I just hope you can all live in harmony. Things are different here than in the capital; there aren't as many rules." Qingyan reminded Yin that the Tenth Prince's wife was a Mongolian noblewoman, very generous and forthright, which made her quite constrained in the capital. Yin would often miss his wife.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, I understand. I won't argue with the Fujin anymore!" Yin lowered his head, looking like he had been taught a lesson.
After discussing it, Yin and Yin left, allowing Yin and Qingyan to rest first.
"Fourth Prince, I think the Tenth Prince is quite disappointed!" Qingyan noticed that Yin asked about the Eighth Prince once, and then never asked about it again.
In the past, Yin would have made preparations in advance and sent the supplies from the naval port to the capital. However, Yin had focused all his attention on training and had long forgotten about these matters.
"The Eighth Prince must have done something to hurt Yin or the Tenth Brother's wife," Yin pointed out.
Inside the capital, the tenth brother's wife lived a secluded life, never visiting Yinsi's house again after Lady Guoluo left.
"Could it be that Jue Luo did something?" Qingyan's gossipy eyes blinked. "She's only been married a few days and she's already offended her sister-in-law."
"It is said that after getting married, Jue Luo Shi always acted like a sister-in-law and started lecturing her ninth and tenth brother's wives." Yin told Qingyan that Jue Luo Shi considered herself the eighth sister-in-law, and even though she was younger, her status was higher than theirs.
"Your Majesty, the new Eighth Prince's wife has schemed against the Ninth and Tenth Prince's wives quite a bit. She even sent the women from the south that the Eighth Prince had taken in to two different mansions. Of course, the Ninth and Tenth Prince's wives refused, saying that the Prince had given instructions that they absolutely could not take in any more women," Su Lan reported from the side.
The people from Yuelai Inn brought news, telling the story of the feud between the three mansions. Qingyan found it somewhat amusing. They had just gotten married and were already sending women to their two younger brothers. It would be fine if it were the eldest sister-in-law or the Crown Prince's wife. Who is the Eighth Prince's wife?
"What about those two women?" Qingyan asked curiously. These two women were probably sent over by officials from the south. "Were they sent back again?"
“They were dealt with directly!” Su Lan reported. “Moreover, this Eighth Princess Consort is very capable. She had already dealt with several concubines as soon as she entered the mansion. However, she doesn’t seem to have managed household affairs at all, leaving the mansion in a complete mess.”
Upon hearing this, Qingyan burst into laughter. The previous Eighth Prince's wife had always been jealous, and the current Eighth Prince's wife appeared to be very virtuous on the surface, treating her concubines and younger siblings well. In reality, she had secretly caused a lot of trouble.
"Little Darling, I think the Jue Luo clan has put a lot of effort into training her. They managed to control Yin Si in such a short time. This honeymoon was also suggested by the Jue Luo clan." Yin sneered.
"So it turns out that the Jue Luo clan wasn't exaggerating; the noble ladies they raised were suitable to be wives!" Qingyan remembered that during that time, when the censors demanded that Yin take concubines, the two ladies of the Jue Luo clan also said that both noble ladies had undergone special training.
"Was this the person that the Jue Luo clan wanted to send to the mansion before?" Yin also remembered.
"It should be one of them. There's also a noble lady, but that person has already been sent away!" Qingyan was very curious. If that noble lady knew that the person who stayed could become the Eighth Prince's Consort, would she regret it?
Yin took a sip of the plum juice from his teacup, listening to Qingyan rambling on.
"I think they'll definitely regret it. If the two noble ladies of the Jue Luo clan start arguing, it will be a disaster for the family," Qingyan chuckled.
"They've already started arguing. The Jue Luo clan is almost making a scene. Many upper-class families are no longer willing to associate with them," Yin said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan instantly felt much better. Finally, things were getting lively! The Jue Luo clan had caused them no shortage of trouble before, but now, they could just watch the show without getting their hands dirty and without having to cause any trouble!
