As soon as Qingyan arrived at the entrance of Quanjude, she saw the Nian family member she had seen yesterday, and Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Today, Madam Nian was dressed in pink. She was accompanied not only by her maids but also by a nanny in her thirties.
"Little Darling, do you know her?" Yin was startled when he saw Nian Shi. For the past few years, he had been suppressing the development of the Nian family.
Looking at the handsome young man beside Qingyan, Nian couldn't help but stare at him. Is this the Fourth Prince?
"No, yesterday, Da Run Supermarket was harassed by someone. My sister-in-law and I went there together, and this girl was the one who caused the trouble!" Qingyan only said that she caused trouble, and she completely concealed the part about the royal family.
Yin couldn't help but frown. In the past, the Nian family had bad manners and would confront Qingyan, even showing off their power in front of Qingyan.
At that time, Honghui died young, and Qingyan was heartbroken, which allowed the Nian family to succeed.
Now, things are different for Qingyan. They will not only have Honghui, but also a child. As long as it is not Honghui, he can tolerate it.
"Little Darling, let's go inside first. Su Peisheng, get rid of anyone who shouldn't be there!" Yin didn't even give Nian Shi a glance before leading Qingyan to the private room.
Nian's face crumpled, her expression shifting from anticipation to frustration and then to disappointment.
"Fourth Master, this servant is a daughter of the Nian family!" Madam Nian was not reserved at all, and had already taken the old woman's words to heart.
Since arriving here, Nian has always believed herself to be the best. She thinks the future of the family depends on her efforts, and that Qingyan's current success is merely temporary; once the child dies, he will surely revert to his former ways.
He turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. How did this woman know that he was the Fourth Master?
Could it be...?
He couldn't help but wonder if, if the Nian family were to be reborn, he wouldn't mind letting her die young.
"Who are you?" Yin released his oppressive aura, causing Nian Shi to tremble.
"No... This servant only knows that you are the Fourth Prince. Yesterday, there was a misunderstanding between the Fourth Prince's wife and this servant." Madam Nian quickly bowed and greeted him.
Yin turned to look at Nian Shi, his face growing even colder.
"presumptuous!"
The two short words caused all the servants of the Nian family to kneel on the ground, while Yin wore a yellow sash on his casual clothes.
In the capital, apart from the princes and Fuquan, Longxi and Changning, the rest of the imperial relatives were not allowed to wear yellow sashes.
The people, seeing Yin's belt, dispersed, not wanting to risk their lives just to watch the show.
"Fourth Master, the princess is young and ignorant. Please be mindful of her!" The nanny was extremely regretful. Why had she been invited by the Nian family? She had just left the palace, and many families had planned to invite her. Among these young princesses, the nanny had chosen Nian Shi, intending to groom her well.
Now, she couldn't help but regret her decision; Nian's behavior was clearly unacceptable.
"Master, let's go inside first!" Qingyan didn't want to have any more dealings with Nian Shi; it would be exhausting. "I told you yesterday that those shops were planned by the servants; the masters wouldn't care about anything else!"
Yin gave Erlu a look, then took Qingyan back.
Just as Nian was about to follow, Erlu grabbed her arm.
“Princess, please have some self-respect. Judging from your age, you are not yet old enough to participate in the talent show. There’s no need to be in such a hurry!” Erlu said directly.
The servants who came out with the Nian family all lowered their heads. They all knew that Nian Shi had not yet learned etiquette and had been pampered by her family ever since she returned from the mansion in Sichuan.
Erlu watched as Nian Shi was carried away by two nannies and couldn't help but smile coldly.
The girl that the Fourth Prince disliked the most was the one who took the initiative, and Lady Nian embodied all of the Fourth Prince's taboos.
“Eru, what you said is too hurtful. That princess is already eight or nine years old. In a few more years, she will definitely be selected for the imperial concubine selection. With such a reputation, who would want her?” The guard next to Erru whispered.
puff!
When Su Lan heard Erlu's words, she inwardly applauded him. What he said was truly insightful. After all, Nian Shi had been stepping on her mistress's opportunities step by step. Yesterday, when the Grand Consort was with her mistress, all of them, as servants, noticed Nian Shi's intentions.
“My lord said we should keep our voices down when speaking to a princess like that. Who knows, if her family rises to prominence one day, they will definitely retaliate,” Su Lan quickly said.
Erlu was taken aback. What his master said was true. These princesses needed the support of their families. The family members were improving very quickly and would definitely participate in the selection. After all, there were still many changes in a few years.
In the private room, Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder, watching Nian Shi being dragged away, and gave a cold smile.
"Little darling, if you see that person again, just leave." Yin pinched Qingyan's little face. "Remember, don't pay any more attention to that princess!"
Qingyan nodded quickly. To be honest, she was also reluctant to go to Nian Shi.
"Si Si, she's acting strangely!" Qingyan muttered softly.
"What's wrong?" Yin asked, puzzled. Qingyan had been in a bad mood since returning home yesterday. If she hadn't been in a hurry to deliver the things to the palace, she probably would have stayed at the RT-Mart supermarket for a few days.
"It was that Ms. Nian, wasn't it? She seemed a bit strange. She looked at the layout of the RT-Mart supermarket and said a lot of things!" Qingyan tilted her head, trying hard to recall yesterday's events.
"A plan devised by a mere lackey?!"
"Yes, I just don't want people to know. After all, if the shops we opened weren't planned by the servants, then many people would interfere!" Qingyan couldn't help but complain. The Crown Princess's lack of kindness had caused Qingyan a lot of suffering before.
"Princess Consort, let go and stop joining forces with her!" Yin was annoyed by Guarjia clan. It would be a miracle if Yin was in a good mood seeing Qingyan being bullied.
Qingyan nodded with a smile. With Yin's words, Qingyan felt she had an excuse to come looking for trouble when the Crown Princess came.
Women must obey their husbands; otherwise, they are violating the precepts for women.
"The Crown Prince only needs to send 10,000 taels of gold to the palace every year, which is enough. The other princes don't receive any bonuses at all!" Yin couldn't help but sneer.
The Crown Prince's appetite was growing ever larger, and Kangxi was well aware of the amount of gold that Yinzhen had been sending over. If the Crown Prince touched any of this gold, Kangxi would immediately know.
"Isn't this enough for the Crown Prince?" Qingyan couldn't help but wonder, just how many holes does the Crown Prince have to fill?
“This is not enough!” Yin said directly.
The Crown Prince's life had always been very luxurious. After Kangxi stopped taking care of the Crown Prince, the amount of silver he received would decrease even further.
OMG!
Qingyan was shocked. This amount of silver was enough for the Fourth Prince's residence to cover its expenses for the whole year, but it wasn't enough for the Crown Prince. All the expenses of Yuqing Palace were covered by Emperor Kangxi!
"Even if it's a reward, you can't send out so many in a year!" Qingyan muttered under her breath.
Therefore, she couldn't help but scratch her head, hoping to earn more money while outside the palace to prepare a good future for her son. (To be continued.
