On the afternoon of the first day of the second lunar month, Yin arrived at the Yuanmingyuan Garden, preparing to leave the capital with his family after the second day of the second lunar month. The Ninth Prince's wife had finished preparing, and the huge Ninth Prince's mansion would be closed to guests early the day after tomorrow.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, I plan to leave with the children early the day after tomorrow. The mansion will be closed to guests. If anything happens in the capital, please help me out. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't worry about it, just have them beaten to death." Ninth Princess Consort said quickly.
Qingyan looked at the Ninth Prince Consort in surprise. She really couldn't bring herself to meddle in her brother-in-law's affairs.
“Ninth Sister-in-law, I don’t even have enough time to take care of the children, how can I manage the affairs of your mansion?” Qingyan quickly said.
Ninth Prince's wife knew that Qingyan was very cautious and would never give the censors any reason to do anything wrong.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, I was too forward!" Ninth Princess Consort quickly apologized. "I'll leave one of my nannies here. Fourth Sister-in-law, please keep an eye on things. If anything happens, please let me know as soon as possible."
Ninth Prince Consort believed that this matter would definitely not cause trouble for Qingyan. Qingyan thought about it and decided that it was okay to just inform him.
"Yes, Ninth Sister-in-law, is everything prepared?" Qingyan asked.
Yin originally intended to leave with her, but Consort Yi specifically instructed him to leave as soon as the first month of the lunar calendar was over.
This year is considered an election year, and the people of the Guoluo clan should soon be moving into the palace. Therefore, Yin should try to leave as soon as possible to avoid getting involved.
"Everything is ready. Master said that Mother wants us to leave the capital as soon as possible, and just don't interfere if anything happens!" Chen Jieju said in a low voice.
"Tomorrow is the second day of the second lunar month. Let's have breakfast here together. Later, have someone go back and bring the things over." Qingyan asked, following Yin's instructions.
"Great!" Ninth Princess Consort was even happier, as Yin said she wanted to get closer to Yin and Qingyan.
Since leaving Yinsi and getting closer to Yin, Yin has valued his principal wife more. His daughter interacts with him more, and the bond between father and daughter has deepened.
"Sulan, go to the Tenth Prince's residence and see if he has time. Have him and his wife come over!" Qingyan made the arrangement. If Yinsi didn't see Yin, dragging Yinsi over to dine together would create a false impression for outsiders.
Yinxiang and Yin were detained in Changchun Garden, so Yinsi had no way to take action.
"Yes!" Su Lan accepted the order and left.
A little later, the Tenth Princess Consort hurriedly walked in from outside, a relaxed smile on her face, and immediately performed a deep squatting salute to Qingyan.
"Tenth sister-in-law, what are you making such a fuss about?" Qingyan asked curiously.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, if you had called me any later, I might not have been able to refuse Eighth Princess Consort!" Tenth Princess Consort's face showed helplessness. "Recently, the Master found a fault and locked the concubine in the Cold Courtyard, so she can't send messages to that person. Therefore, Eighth Princess Consort often comes to the courtyard to cause trouble for us."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ninth Consort's face turned somewhat ugly. Tenth Consort was from the Guoluo clan, which meant she was part of Consort Yi's family. If trouble were to arise, Consort Yi would lose face.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that Ninth Brother's maternal family was wrong," the Tenth Princess belatedly realized, and slapped her forehead.
"Tenth sister-in-law, what you said is true. We are going to the south the day after tomorrow and will go with you!" Ninth Prince's wife didn't mind at all. Guo Luoluo always came to cause trouble, which annoyed Ninth Prince.
"Does the Eighth Prince's wife often visit you?" Qingyan asked, looking at the Tenth Prince's wife.
The actions of the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Jue Luo, became increasingly frequent. Previously, she had sent someone to instigate the Ulanara clan, which annoyed her. The members of the concubine's lineage were now harboring ambitions and wanted Fei Yanggu's help to enter the Fourth Prince's residence.
Fei Yanggu was furious. He opened the ancestral hall and disposed of the person during the New Year, completely erasing him from the family genealogy. He used such swift and decisive measures to silence all the collateral branches.
"Not only did they seek out his sister-in-law, but they also went to the concubine branch of the Guo Luo Luo clan. You know the girls there have been seduced and are now ambitious, all preparing to enter the palace!" Ninth Prince Consort sneered. "His Majesty has already stated that whoever enters the palace will be at odds with Consort Yi, and His Majesty will certainly not help them."
Hehe!
Qingyan sneered, "With such meager methods, when someone in my maternal family was seduced into having ambitions, my father simply opened the ancestral hall and expelled that person from the family. Their life, old age, sickness, and death are no longer related to the family!"
The three wives were together, and none of them were happy after hearing these words.
“They didn’t do anything right over there, Tenth Sister-in-law. Now that you’ve gone to the military ports in Guangdong and Guangxi, what are you going to do here?” Ninth Princess Consort asked.
“The master left behind the nanny, who is Mother’s assistant. Everyone is very afraid, but with her here, there will definitely be no chaos in the mansion,” the Tenth Prince’s wife quickly said.
Qingyan listened as the two discussed how to manage their residence after leaving the capital.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you left the capital the latest, could you please keep an eye on things? If anything bad happens, please let us know?" the Tenth Princess Consort said casually.
Pfft!
Ninth Prince's wife laughed: "Sister-in-law, we've thought of the same thing. Fourth Sister-in-law and the others won't be able to leave until after the Dragon Boat Festival, so the Master said he'd like to trouble Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law!"
"Alright, if there's anything urgent, I'll have someone notify you. However, you must leave a trustworthy person at the residence. I can't interfere in your affairs!" Qingyan had a bad feeling that after they left this time, someone else would definitely cause trouble outside.
The Ninth Prince's wife and the Tenth Prince's wife were very much looking forward to this trip. I can handle things on my own now, including Yin and Yin's son.
"I won't interfere in the affairs of the manor. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will notify you in advance. If it's too late, I will deal with it directly. In that case, things may not go as you wish," Qingyan said to her two younger siblings.
The Ninth Prince's wife and the Tenth Prince's wife exchanged a glance and quickly agreed with what Qingyan said.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you're free to do this, we'll definitely agree." A smile appeared on the faces of the two women.
It's fine if Qingyan doesn't tell them what she's talking about beforehand.
"Alright, let's have our meal here today." Qingyan nodded. Neither of the two sisters-in-law were competitive, which made it easier for them to get along.
The two sisters-in-law began to talk about what had happened, and the Eighth Prince's wife became the target of their accusations. Qingyan was very puzzled. Was the Jue Luo clan even less capable of dealing with people than the Guo Luo Luo clan?
"Fourth Sister-in-law, we're not talking about Eighth Sister-in-law, we just feel that her personality isn't suitable to be the primary wife, she's too indecisive!" Tenth Sister-in-law said with some annoyance.
