Within days, news of Dong'e's domestic violence spread, even implicating the other women of the Jue Luo clan, whose reputations were tarnished. That day, Jue Luo specifically sought out Qingyan, hoping she could lend a hand.
After lunch, Qingyan saw Jueluo off, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Her low spirits continued until Yin returned. When he entered the room and saw Qingyan's protective posture, he was a little surprised. Looking at the sleeping child, Yin changed into his ordinary clothes and specifically asked Sulan about the incident of Jue Luo Shi coming to cause trouble, which was then revealed.
He walked around the screen, sat down beside her, and pulled her into his arms. The little one must be very upset. No matter what trouble Jue Luo Shi caused, she would be the one who suffered in the end.
"Are you still angry?" Yin knew that the Jue Luo clan had schemed against Qingyan more than once or twice.
When there are benefits to be had, the Jue Luo clan would never think of Qing Yan; but as soon as trouble is caused, the Jue Luo clan will first think of Qing Yan.
He originally wanted to teach the Jue Luo clan a lesson, to let them know that they had to rely on themselves to succeed in everything.
"Of course, how could I not be angry!" Qingyan snuggled against Yin, her little mouth puffing out. "Mother didn't force me, she just relayed a message to those people."
Qingyan sensed the change in Jueluo Shi, who had finally given up on her family.
Jue Luo didn't say a single unnecessary word when she came over. The most important thing she talked about with Qing Yan was taking care of the two children.
"Really?" Yin was skeptical. Jue Luo Shi was more patient than most people, so it was hard to say that she wouldn't soften Xiao Guai's heart before making any further demands.
Qingyan nodded quickly. She had a newfound hope for her mother. Her two older brothers needed her help after all. The strained relationship between the mother and daughter was putting Fei Yanggu and his two sons in a difficult position.
"Fourth Brother, Mother has changed a lot. Usually, when she sees me, she talks mostly about the Guo Luoma Fa family. But recently, she hasn't said a word. It warms my heart." Qingyan doesn't hold grudges and is always cheerful.
Yin was worried about Xiao Guai contacting others and once hoped that she could stay in the mansion.
Xiao Guai is completely out of her depth when it comes to the suspicion and scheming among her sisters-in-law.
She nestled in his arms, her little face tense, her little mouth speaking of Jue Luo's concern for the children.
Yin was speechless. Could it be that this was a case of special affection between grandparents and grandchildren?
"Fine, if you want to help, I agree," Yin said softly.
After the domestic violence incident, Dong Eqi's actions disappointed Kangxi, and the imperial family's reputation was further tarnished by Yinzhi. Even the crown prince dared not provoke Kangxi.
This morning before the court session, Shu waited for Yin in the outer courtyard of the Qianqing Palace. Consort Tong told Yin that if necessary, he should say a few words on behalf of Consort Dong'e.
"Huh?!" Qingyan was dumbfounded.
Family scandals should not be aired in public!
Emperor Kangxi always believed in these six words. Could it be that... Emperor Kangxi was planning to use Yinzhi as a typical example?
"Third Brother is too bookish. Those slaps angered Father Emperor!" The princes must be upright and honest. Once, the Crown Prince's actions greatly angered Emperor Kangxi.
The afternoon sunlight shone on her, and under the hypnotic influence of his deep voice, she fell asleep in no time.
Yin talked for a long time but didn't hear Qingyan's reply. He looked down and couldn't help but laugh.
He bent down and kissed her forehead, then carried her horizontally to the bed, turned around and went to the study, where Su Peisheng and Su Lan were waiting.
"Lady Ulanara, did you say anything else?" Yin was worried about Jue Luo Shi, so he had Su Lan keep an eye on her.
After Su Lan brought Jue Luo Shi in, she recounted every word and action she had taken. Qing Yan did not hide anything, and Yin became suspicious. Had Jue Luo Shi truly repented?
Fei Yanggu has not informed him of any special news recently. The concubine of the Third Prince's mansion is far removed from the direct line of the Jue Luo clan, so the incident did not involve any of the Ulanara clan's concubines.
“Listen, Madam is only concerned about your health and has also shared a lot of her experience in taking care of children!” Su Lan had spent the most time with Qing Yan and this was the first time she had seen the mother and daughter have such a calm conversation.
Yin hesitated for a moment, then waved Su Lan away. Qing Yan was still resting in the inner chamber, and Su Lan had to wait outside.
"Su Peisheng, how's the investigation of the Jue Luo family's residence going?" Yin felt that things were very strange; how could a concubine's daughter cause such a commotion?
Lady Ulanara did not return to her parents' home for the Chinese New Year, publicly stating that she had completely severed ties with her family.
Now that his family is in trouble, it was completely unexpected that Lady Ulanara could say a few words to Xiao Guai.
"It is said that the Third Prince has been bewitched by a concubine's daughter of the Jue Luo clan. He plans to stay in her courtyard for more than ten days a month. The women in the inner courtyard are preparing to join forces to deal with her!" Su Peisheng had to admire that the women in the inner courtyard were more cunning than the ministers in the court.
The Third Prince's wife made the first move, placing all the incompatible foods on the concubine's table. Unfortunately, the Third Prince was well-read and knew many of the incompatible foods. At dinner, the concubine simply had the dishes prepared by the Third Prince's wife served.
When Yinzhi saw the incompatible items, he was furious. His concubine looked innocent and said that the meal was arranged by the primary wife and that it was very good.
"That's enough. Keep an eye on the Third Prince's wife's actions. Anything involving her must be eliminated by me." Yin repeatedly instructed Su Peisheng, making sure that Xiao Guai was not bullied.
Su Peisheng quickly agreed, knowing that if his wife didn't take good care of him, Yin would definitely not let him off easily.
"Does the Third Princess Consort need someone to keep an eye on her?" Su Peisheng quickly asked.
"Notify the gatekeeper not to let the Third Princess Consort in again!" Yin was furious. Qingyan was soft-hearted, and if the Third Princess Consort came to play the victim, she would definitely soften her heart and help her.
The Dong'e clan no longer cares about the Third Princess Consort; if Xiao Guai does it, it will only put him in a passive position.
"!" Su Peisheng had long wanted to avoid receiving people from the Third Prince's residence. Every time they came, they acted superior, as if the Fourth Prince had to cater to them.
Yin opened the memorial, which recorded the decision discussed by the Jue Luo clan. The concubine's daughter was merely a pawn to test Lady Ulanara. If the concubine's daughter gained a foothold in the Third Prince's residence, she would persuade Qingyan to take a concubine's daughter from the Jue Luo clan as a concubine. Lady Ulanara would also receive advice from others.
"Damn it!" Yin slammed the memorial on the table. The Jue Luo clan was shrewd; they hadn't even taken one step steadily before they were thinking about another.
Su Peisheng stood at the door, listening to Yin's angry voice. He shrank his shoulders. The primary wife was the Fourth Prince's bottom line.
As evening approached, Qingyan strolled leisurely into the study. She wore a pale yellow, three-quarter-sleeved, open-fronted casual robe embroidered with pomegranate blossoms, revealing a royal blue arrow-sleeved undershirt underneath. Coral earrings swayed with her steps. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
