As dinner approached, Yin came over with his tenth wife. Yin briefly discussed the matter of the two cooks with Yin Si. Yin fell silent. Both of them were hired by Yin at high salaries, and Yin Si had interviewed them separately. If what Yin said was true, it was Yin Si who was the one who actually harmed Yin.
"Fourth Brother, please don't get involved in this matter. I will investigate it myself!" Yinru wouldn't get involved with Yinsi at all if it weren't for Yin's influence.
In Yin's eyes, Yin Si's status was too low and not worth considering. Yin, on the other hand, was different. The two of them had been playmates since childhood, so their relationship was much deeper.
"Tenth Brother, don't think about Tian Duo. Maybe we're overthinking it!" Qingyan advised Yin.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you might as well not have said that!" Yin said, both amused and exasperated.
Yin summoned his chief guard, made him bow, gave him a few instructions, and then the chief guard disappeared into the shop.
Qingyan led the Tenth Prince's wife around the screen, intending to wait in the flower hall so that the two could handle the matter.
After passing the peony screen, the two sat down at the round table. Qingyan saw that the Tenth Princess Consort came out wearing a blue Mongolian robe.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Qingyan asked curiously.
"Master said I can dress however I want at home, so I'm wearing a Mongolian robe!" The Tenth Prince's wife really likes wearing Mongolian robes.
"However, the censor must not see these clothes. In the future, when you go out, it would be better to change into other clothes first!" Qingyan instructed the Tenth Princess.
The Tenth Prince's wife was very enlightened; everything Qingyan said was correct, so she greatly admired Qingyan.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, let me tell you, yesterday, Yin said that the former Eighth Sister-in-law got married, and Yue Le took her to Mongolia!" The Tenth Princess Consort was quite well-informed about news from Mongolia. Upon hearing about Guo Luoluo's matter, she quickly came over to tell him.
Qingyan was stunned. Guo Luoluo had mentioned before that she might get married this year. Qingyan sent her a gift on her birthday. The Eighth Prince's wife was easy to please; she liked all the jewelry.
"Did you go see for yourself?" Qingyan was stunned. "Was she married yesterday?"
The Tenth Prince's wife nodded. It was said that the Eighth Prince's wife's remarriage was a disgrace to the royal family. Therefore, Yue Le did not hold a grand ceremony. Yin and Yin went in person, after all, the Eighth Prince's wife had a good relationship with them.
"Master said that the person Eighth Princess Consort chose this time is quite good. He seems to be very protective of her, so she will definitely be happy!" Tenth Princess Consort, with her carefree personality, was very happy to see that Eighth Princess Consort had found a good match.
"What's the situation with Ninth Prince?" Qingyan heard that Eighth Prince's wife was betrothed to him, and it was Yin who personally handled the matter. Every time she thought about it, she realized that in just a few short years, Eighth Prince had completely abandoned Eighth Prince's wife.
Back then, there were many in the capital who said that the Eighth Prince listened to his wife to the point of being completely obedient.
"The master said it was very bad, and he felt extremely guilty, believing he had ruined the happiness of the Eighth Prince's wife!" The Tenth Prince's wife patted her mouth, "And the happiness of that Eighth Sister-in-law before!"
The Tenth Prince's wife looked down on Lady Jueluo, thinking that the Eighth Prince had married someone of a petty and narrow mind.
"Speaking of Guo Luoluo, the day she had the courage to come and ask for a divorce, I felt that she had regained her former glory!" Qingyan remembered that when she was young, even Fei Yanggu had talked about the Eighth Prince's wife. Now, the Eighth Prince's wife was tormenting herself to death because of this man.
The Tenth Princess nodded: "Guo Luoluo's wedding procession can be described as a grand procession to the Court of Colonial Affairs. Although it wasn't said to be which of Prince An's daughters was getting married, it was probably to save face for that person."
Pfft!
Qingyan laughed out loud. Guoluo hadn't informed Qingyan because she didn't want to put him in a difficult position.
"If I were notified, I would definitely go back. I guess it's because the current Eighth Prince's wife is unhappy." Qingyan knew that the current Eighth Prince's wife was, after all, from the Gioro clan.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, I don't like Eighth Sister-in-law!" Tenth Princess pouted. "The day after we returned to the capital, Eighth Prince sent us to his residence. That Eighth Sister-in-law acted like an elder, ready to lecture Ninth Sister-in-law and me. I felt disgusted just looking at her."
Qingyan chuckled, "That's just how their family is, and this is already them tolerating it!"
On the issue of the Gioro clan, Qingyan was very opinionated and determined not to associate with them again, fearing that he would be misunderstood.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, really?" The Tenth Princess Consort was greatly surprised.
It is said that noble ladies who become the primary consorts of princes are generally well-mannered, and there are very few like the Jue Luo clan.
"Haha, you don't know, back then, before this woman was even married, she had already ordered a set of jewelry for the Eighth Prince's wife from Linglong'e, and the Eighth Prince's residence paid for it all!" Qingyan knew all about it and even told Yin about it as a joke.
The Tenth Princess opened her mouth slightly: "Fourth Sister-in-law, is this really acceptable? We're not married yet. Before my marriage, all the jewelry I bought at Linglong Pavilion was provided by my family!"
Qingyan chimed in, "Me too, but this one is different. Besides, he said these are just extra betrothal gifts!"
Those jewelry pieces were all kept. The people of the Jue Luo clan were not kind people. Those jewelry pieces were used as jewelry for the women of the mansion to attend banquets. Therefore, when the Eighth Prince's wife married into the family, she didn't have many exquisite jewelry pieces. It was only because of Lady Ulanara that she was given two decent sets.
After all, she has a relationship with Qingyan, and if she doesn't handle things well, people will say that Qingyan is too opportunistic.
“I don’t like these people either, but there’s nothing I can do. If it weren’t for Mother, I wouldn’t be dealing with them!” Qingyan said, looking at the Tenth Princess Consort.
The Tenth Princess Consort expressed her surprise: "Fourth Sister-in-law, I don't want these people to cause unrest in the mansion!"
"Right now, you don't have much interaction, so try not to have any contact!" Qingyan said helplessly. That's how the Eighth Prince's wife is; if you don't say something right, she might take advantage of you.
The Tenth Prince's wife nodded obediently, "That's good."
"Fourth Sister-in-law, she said she'll be keeping an eye on you these next few days, and that you and she have a good relationship. Ninth Sister-in-law just rolled her eyes when she heard that, but she seemed not to notice." The words of the Tenth Princess Consort surprised Qingyan. She rarely contacted people from the Jue Luo clan, so what was she going to do?
"Hmph, we're not afraid. We can just ignore people like that and let them back down. That won't work, so we'll have to talk to them!" Qingyan sneered. Since they dared to come to our door, she didn't mind making them lose face.
The tenth prince's wife seemed quite emotional, and she had promised to go see the play!
"Don't worry, I'll let you know when the time comes!" Qingyan said directly.
