As evening approached, news of the Second Lady of the Jue Luo Clan's visit spread throughout the new residence. Lady Ulanara did not keep quiet, and everyone below knew that the masters hoped to publicize the matter so that everyone could have a fair opinion and not be biased towards either side.
A servant must know how to assist his master. Within a few short hours, the news of the second wife of the Jue Luo family coming to persuade him spread throughout the capital.
Late at night, Yin and Qingyan lay down on the bed together. His henchman patted Qingyan's back to reassure her and help her sleep.
"Did your mother-in-law's family come today?" Yin looked at Qingyan's unpleasant expression and knew that Qingyan was truly angry.
"That's right, the second wife of the Jue Luo clan is really something. She actually said directly that if she didn't take care of it, she would definitely cause trouble for His Majesty!" Qingyan really disliked the Jue Luo clan members and had never liked them.
"If Father finds out, the Eighth Prince will definitely not fare well. Don't worry, the Jue Luo clan will definitely come to apologize. The Eighth Prince is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. If he really loses face because of his own women, how can he stand it?" Yin sneered. These people meant well but did more harm than good.
Qingyan chuckled. Yin was right. Yinsi was a person who seemed well-behaved, but was actually very selfish.
The previous wife of the Eighth Prince had been married for many years without having any children, and everyone thought that the Eighth Prince's womb was not up to par. Now, the Eighth Prince has remarried, but the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Gioro, still has no news. Lady Guoluo, on the other hand, married far away to Mongolia, but gave birth to a prince the following year. Comparing the two, everyone understands the reason.
"Fourth Prince, it's been circulating in the capital for a long time that Yinsi is infertile. Who leaked this news?" Shu Yun felt that this person was ruthless, directly touching on the very thing Yinsi least wanted people to know.
Yin shook his head directly. All the brothers knew that Yin Si had been using the Eighth Prince's wife's reputation to make things happen, and the Imperial Hospital had been silenced.
"Good boy, keep an eye out for information lately. The Jue Luo clan probably won't do anything if they don't get what they want!" Yin was glad that they had been staying in the new house recently and could help Fei Yanggu and his two sons deal with things.
"Fourth Prince, what does the Jue Luo clan intend to do? Haven't the events of this period of time made these people reflect on their actions?" Qingyan sneered. Because some of the Eighth Prince's wife's methods were exposed, damaging the royal family's reputation, Kangxi was furious and directly placed her under house arrest.
"Go to sleep!" Yin patted her back, telling Qingyan to stop overthinking.
As dawn broke, Fei Yanggu and his two sons were doing their morning exercises in the courtyard. Yin had changed into his training clothes early and went into the courtyard as well.
When he was young, he lived in the new house, and Saito and Eshuo made things difficult for him quite a bit.
"Fourth Master, why are you so leisurely today? You actually came out for your morning exercise?" Saito looked at Yin with curiosity.
“Brother-in-law, I will come out for morning exercise during my days off. At the very least, I want to set a good example for Yiken!” Yin said to Saito.
Fei Yanggu ignored the matter between his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and pondered the matter that Akdun had reported that morning.
Rumors began to circulate both inside and outside the capital, saying that the Ulanara family looked down on the decline of the Gioro clan and was preparing to sever the marriage alliance.
Anyone with eyes to see can see that the family has always had deep-seated conflicts, especially after the noblewoman of the Jue Luo clan became the Eighth Prince's wife. Her family has caused quite a bit of trouble, and the Second Lady of the Jue Luo clan has been the most frequent visitor, often coming to the mansion to beg for money.
Lady Ulanara considered her sister-in-law from her own family that if she went too far, outsiders would say she was ungrateful.
"Fourth Master, what about those rumors outside?" Fei Yanggu couldn't understand who could spread such rumors overnight.
According to Aktun, the scope of this rumor is still limited, and it seems to be the work of someone with a very powerful background.
“Father-in-law, I won’t take it to heart, and neither will my son. These people are greedy and want to squeeze more profits out of the two shops. They would rather send those profits to the disaster area for relief than give them to the Jue Luo clan!” Yin said coldly.
Fei Yanggu and his two sons exchanged glances. Yin was indeed ruthless; he could say such things.
After finishing their morning exercise, Qingyan sat in the flower hall, preparing breakfast with Lady Ulanara. Her two sisters-in-law were busy outside, while Sulan helped by serving the dishes.
"Master, breakfast is ready. Shall I go and call you?" Su Lan asked respectfully.
"No need, sisters-in-law, let's sit down for a while!" Qingyan shook her head. Looking at the time, Yin and the others still needed to train for another half an hour. Qingyan wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to her two sisters-in-law.
"Sister, what's wrong with you today? You seem a bit resentful?" Yebchuk is very perceptive of people's emotions, and she can detect Qingyan's mood with just a slight glance.
Lady Ulanara heard the rumors and was truly disappointed with her family. She knew that such a thing would not be known to outsiders except for her own family.
"Good girl, don't worry about the Jue Luo clan's affairs. If those people cause any more trouble, they'll come here to cause trouble!" Lady Ulanara quickly said.
Qingyan brought a cup of warm honey water and placed it in front of Lady Ulanara, her face scrunched up in dismay.
"Mother, please have some water to calm down. This matter really isn't the fault of the Second Madam of the Jue Luo Clan." Yin sent the Sticky Rod Office to investigate and discovered that it was actually the Eighth Prince's wife who released this information.
The Jue Luo clan had been in contact with the Eighth Prince's wife, and this method was used to attack their own family only after the two sides had agreed on it.
"What's going on?" Jue Luo was furious. She could tolerate others' negligence, but she couldn't tolerate someone plotting against her daughter.
In the royal family, the reputation of the primary consort is paramount, and every primary consort cherishes her reputation.
"Mother, it was the Eighth Prince's wife who spread the news. Someone must have deliberately sent the wrong message!" Qingyan had no good feelings towards the Second Madam of the Jue Luo Clan. She actually used the Eighth Prince's wife for that little bit of money.
"You mean, Second Sister-in-law?" Lady Ulanara looked at Qingyan in disbelief.
Qingyan nodded. When Yin's Sticky Rod Office came out with the results of its investigation, Yin was worried that the information might be wrong, so he specifically instructed the Sticky Rod Office to be careful.
"No, no, no, my dear, you must have made a mistake. Second Sister-in-law would never do such a thing. Eighth Prince's wife has always been dependent on the second branch of the family. If you could find out so easily, other ministers certainly could too. If that were the case, wouldn't Eighth Prince's wife's reputation be completely ruined?" said Lady Jue Luo.
