Soon, news of the falling out between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince spread throughout the capital. Even Fei Yanggu and Lady Jue Luo were greatly surprised. Yin had always been very cautious, but he was really going all out for his children.
Emperor Kangxi was worried that it would damage Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen's reputation, so he blocked the news. However, the powerful and influential people in the capital knew the inside story and felt a bit emotional about Yin's actions.
The Guarjia clan was gradually isolated by the powerful and wealthy, and everyone completely distanced themselves from the lineage that had served as a companion to the emperor.
Previously, he had some good friends who accompanied him to school, but after he recovered from his injuries and returned to the family school, everyone distanced themselves from him, which surprised him greatly.
The entire Guarjia clan was isolated by the people, and some families with legitimate daughters dared not bring their daughters to banquets at the Guarjia residence.
Lady Guarjia sent out several invitations, originally intending to choose a granddaughter-in-law for her eldest grandson, but many families declined, saying they had other commitments.
If one or two families declined the invitations, she wouldn't have thought much of it. But after sending out the invitations, two-thirds of the powerful and influential people declined them, which made her suspicious.
She quickly handed over her token and entered the garden, intending to inquire with the Crown Princess. The isolation of the women was definitely not a good thing.
"There's no need to go find the Crown Princess anymore. This whole thing was caused by the Third Prince's son. He wanted to marry a princess and was eyeing Princess Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen. But his status wasn't high enough, so he actually came up with the idea of ruining her reputation, which directly angered His Majesty."
Therefore... the women all had reservations, and none of them wanted to form a marriage alliance with someone with a bad reputation. Right now, everyone was only refraining from saying anything to them because of the Crown Princess's reputation.
"What?!" Lady Guarjia was stunned. No wonder, recently when she went out, people kept telling her to keep a close eye on the women of the concubine's branch. She was confused and thought that the concubine's sons wouldn't cause any trouble.
"You didn't let them marry the princess?" Lady Guarjia said more than once that it would be great if her own concubine's daughter could marry the princess, since both of the princes' legitimate daughters were about the same age as that companion.
"Yes, I did say that, but I didn't take any action. How could those two illegitimate sons have such ambitions?" Lady Guargia became angry.
"Your words have set their minds on something extraordinary. They've even gone so far as to use your name to claim that this was your idea!" Shi Wenbing was furious. How dare they tarnish the Crown Princess's reputation!
"My lord, I really didn't say that! This can't be blamed on me!" Lady Guarjia said anxiously. "I'll quickly hand over the token to the garden and explain to the Crown Princess. I can't let her think I did it; that would be terrible!"
Shi Wenbing sighed. This time, he would write a memorial to apologize, and Kangxi would remember it.
"This is terrible. The Crown Prince and his daughter's relationship wasn't very deep to begin with, and now, it's our fault again. The Fourth Prince is angry, so His Majesty has made a statement to protect the little princess." Shi Wenbing felt extremely bad.
Later, Yin received news that Lady Guarjia had submitted a token to enter the garden. He watched as Qingyan and her daughter sat on the chaise longue by the window, talking about calligraphy practice.
"Little darling, come here!" Yin Rang Qingyan felt relieved.
Qingyan put down the tracing she was holding and let Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen sit there and trace the tracing onto the silk handkerchief. She then walked to Yin's side, and Yin placed the news he had just received in front of Qingyan.
"It wasn't her who said it?" Qingyan glanced at Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen and thought it would be better to just send her out first.
"Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen, go do something for your father!" Yin stopped Qingyan from speaking and said gently to his daughter.
"Father, what do you need to do?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen looked up from the calligraphy practice and stared at Yin.
"Go and call your Ahhun over for your father!" Yiken'e is at Changchun Garden, so Yin decided to send his daughter out alone. "Su Peisheng, you accompany the little princess there personally. If anything happens, you know what to do!"
Su Peisheng quickly agreed, and Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen nodded obediently, understanding that her father and mother must have something to say, so she didn't say anything more and left directly.
After his daughter got into the carriage, Yin turned to look at Qingyan. If he could, he wouldn't want his daughter to suffer every time.
"Fourth Prince, don't you think this matter is a bit too subtle? Lady Guarjia's words are absolutely not to be trusted!" Yin Qingyan said, looking at Yin.
Yin nodded. What Qingyan said was right. However, they did not yet have evidence of Lady Guarjia's involvement. If they were to seize the opportunity to make trouble, it would be absolutely impossible.
"We can't act yet!" Yin tried to calm Qingyan, who was already furious. Reality is often the cruelest thing.
"Hand over the plaque! Explain to the Crown Princess?" Qingyan looked at Yin. "Will they let her into the garden?"
"The Crown Princess has been confined to her quarters, so you don't need to worry about it anymore." Yin received the latest news and shared it with Qingyan.
Qingyan felt a little better. Yin was able to consider everything for them, but Kangxi had to consider the bigger picture, which might mean that Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen would suffer.
"My little darling, your father won't let Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen suffer any injustice!" Yin said directly.
Qingyan was relieved. As long as Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen didn't feel wronged, she could endure it.
"Si Si, why did you let Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen go directly there?" Qingyan felt that Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen should stay at home; otherwise, it would be like a lamb being led to the slaughter.
“If we keep Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen under control, it will easily make her feel uncomfortable and she may become more wary,” Yin said directly.
Qingyan felt frustrated: "I've been tricked!"
In business, Qingyan and Yin joined forces and began to compete for some of the Guarjia clan's important assets, which can be considered as preparing some benefits in advance.
"Have you made a move?" Yin asked. Qingyan had summoned the managers these past few days, and he had seen her secretly handle some matters, giving her some space.
“Yes, you shouldn’t concern yourself with business matters. I really can’t quell my resentment until I get my revenge!” Qingyan also had her own ideas.
Qingyan stared intently at Yin. The two looked at each other for a long time before Yin finally nodded, ready to let Qingyan make his move.
"You can vent your anger, but know when to stop!" Yin's words made Qingyan nod, and the two reached an agreement that they would stop when the time was right.
