In the afternoon sunlight, Yin and Qingyan slowly walked along the corridor to the back. When they approached the corridor closest to Yinzhi, they heard Yinzhi's miserable cries from inside. Qingyan shuddered.
That's a really sharp sound. Even if someone couldn't hold back, they wouldn't make such a loud noise.
"Fourth Prince, do you think Father Emperor deliberately sent Yinzhi here?" Qingyan was a little curious. This place is the closest to the garden. If someone were to stroll through the garden, wouldn't they be able to hear Yinzhi's voice?
A cold smile appeared on Yin's lips. Qingyan was indeed clever enough. This was certain. Kangxi had really lost patience with Yin Zhi, which was why he had someone move in directly.
In everyone's mind, Yinzhi was completely useless. Yinsi, who was so delusional, still thought that Yinzhi still had someone to help him.
Didn't you see that even Lady Dong'e has started to slowly extend an olive branch to Yin?
“The Third Prince’s wife is considered an outcast of the family, and so is Princess Dong’e. No matter who inherits the Third Prince’s mansion, it will all be the same to the Dong’e family!” Yin held Qingyan’s little hand and they strolled together in the corridor.
They left those pitiful cries far behind.
"Alright, we don't need to worry too much. These sounds are much quieter than the previous one!" Qingyan and Yin had seen people with severe drug addictions trying to quit. That kind of willpower is something not everyone can have. Yin didn't have much faith in Yin Zhi's willpower.
"Pfft, so it turns out that the Eighth Prince also hopes to gain access to the power behind Yinzhi. Even the Eighth Princess Consort has the same idea. She even told me that there was some unresolved issue with the family back then. Am I stupid?" Qingyan was a victim back then, so of course she wasn't going to compromise.
Yin reached out and touched Qingyan's little head. This little guy definitely wouldn't give in.
"Alright, we need to look ahead!" Does Yin Zong really think Yin Si would give up such a good opportunity?
Could they have some backup plan in the capital? They're not in the capital right now, so if they do, it will be too late to deal with it once they get wind of it.
"What's wrong?" Qingyan, standing beside him, noticed that Yin's expression was rather unpleasant and quickly asked.
"Something feels off!" Yin trusted his intuition; something might have happened in the direction of the capital. "Let's go find my father-in-law right away!"
Now, among them, only Fei Yanggu can directly intervene in matters in the capital; the others simply cannot. Therefore, Yin hopes that Fei Yanggu can investigate the matter thoroughly.
The two walked quickly toward Fei Yanggu's courtyard. Fei Yanggu, who was busy in his study, heard Akton say that Yin and Qingyan had come. He was still a little incredulous.
"How come you have time to come over?" Fei Yanggu directly asked the two to sit down. After Akdun left, he dismissed everyone near the study and personally ordered Ulanara's secret guards to protect them.
Yin explained his purpose and made no attempt to hide anything, directly recounting his meeting with Yin Si and his wife.
Upon hearing this, Fei Yanggu frowned and became even more disdainful. He thought that the Jue Luo clan probably only had this much ability left, and that they didn't seem to have any other skills.
"Father, is someone causing trouble in the capital?" Qingyan understood that everyone in their family who could make decisions had come out. If it was the Jueluo clan causing trouble, the family's reputation might be damaged.
"Prevention is better than cure. What are Fourth Master and Eighth Master planning to do? Are they planning to take over all of Third Master's power?" Fei Yanggu said with some amusement. This Yin Sidao was quite interesting; he actually dared to say these things so openly.
“Father-in-law, how would I know? In a setting like the garden, for him to say these things to me, Yinsi must have planned it all out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such action, even having the Eighth Prince’s wife personally go to kidnap people!” Yin said with a cold laugh.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone over!" Fei Yanggu agreed and immediately had someone send Yin and Qingyan away.
The two walked to the pavilion in the garden. Qingyan patted his forehead and suddenly remembered that his ultimate weapon was still there.
"Fourth Brother, can we not trouble Father?!" Qingyan suddenly squeezed her purse.
Yin was speechless. These things couldn't be brought out. Of course, it might be better if Fei Yanggu were to step in.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Since Father-in-law has already agreed, he must have figured out what to do." Yin still had Qingyan bring out the images from the capital.
The two watched as the Jue Luo clan opened the ancestral hall, where the clan leader and elders were gathered together, their faces solemn, as if they were discussing something.
Inside the ancestral hall, the clan head of the Jue Luo clan explained the wishes of the Eighth Prince and his wife; the elders did not want to disrupt the current peace.
"No, do you think Fei Yanggu is a pushover?" The elders smiled bitterly. How much did the Jue Luo clan pay back then to calm Fei Yanggu down? Have they already forgotten all that?
"Elder, we are now on equal footing with Fei Yanggu, and our clan patriarch already has a principal wife!" The clan patriarch was very annoyed.
They always have to obey the elders and can't fight with Fei Yangu. Their own daughter is more favored, okay?
"The primary wife?! The secondary wife? Can a primary wife and a secondary wife be the same?" The elders were very agitated. The person in front of them was really stubborn. If they angered Fei Yanggu, the Jue Luo clan would decline in the future.
Although Yinsi was a prince, his background was very poor. Kangxi would definitely not allow such a prince to succeed to the throne, otherwise, he would lose face.
The head of the Jue Luo clan, however, did not think so. He himself was a man who favored his concubines over his wife. Now, seeing that Yin Si was capable, he felt that the position of the Jue Luo clan should be on Yin Si's shoulders.
The members of the imperial clan who were once very close to Yinsi have all distanced themselves from him. Even Yinsi himself is now engrossed in doing business and has never been involved with Yinsi again. These are all warning signs.
"Enough, you cowards. If you're scared, you can hide in your protective shells. But I'm different. My daughter will reach the top," the Jue Luo clan chief said directly.
The elders all sneered. If it were really that easy to handle, do you really think Fei Yanggu is a fool?
"Are you trying to advance your career based on the reputation of the Jue Luo clan? How many of these members of the imperial clan have any connection with Yin Si?" The elders were prepared to make one last effort, then decide not to concern themselves with the rest.
They decided to close the courtyard and let the guy do whatever he wanted; after all, it wouldn't be their family members who caused trouble in the end.
"Hmph, all of you get out of here now. If I ever become powerful in the future, don't even think about taking a share!" the clan chief said viciously.
