  Feeling that the time was about right, Ziling and the others had already picked up quite a few flower petals. She instructed them to tidy up quickly and head towards Fushou Temple.

  About the same time as Yin Ruofei estimated, Xiao Lin and his party had not left yet, and the old lady had just gotten out of bed and was drinking ginseng tea while leaning on the couch.

  The old lady has her own ideas about health preservation. Every morning, she must drink a cup of ginseng tea to nourish her spirit, and then eat some porridge, but not much.

  According to her, it's better to eat a little than to eat too much, just enough to digest is good, and don't miss the main meal. So, the old lady here has a simple breakfast, lunch is very rich but not too much. Afternoon nap for a while, nourish your spirit, if you're hungry, at most eat some pastries to fill up a bit.

  With nothing to do, I would also stroll around the garden, or come to the hall to listen to the opera. Although I didn't care about other things and let Xiaoling take charge, but Yin Ruofei was certain that Old Lady Yu wouldn't give up her power so easily.

  She is now also guessing whether he is testing or numbing his opponent. As for the things in this mansion, he doesn't believe that Old Lady wouldn't hear any rumors at all.

  So what he needs to do now is not to rush into action, but to stabilize this mountain.

  "Pay respects to grandma." Yin Ruofei bowed solemnly and stood up under the kind gaze of the old lady.

  "Good grandson, come quickly, let grandma take a look!" The old lady handed the tea to Biyu and called Yin Ruofei over to examine him carefully. She truly loved this grandson, not only because he was the youngest, but also because he was the only legitimate son.

  Eldest son and younger son, although they are all sons, the status is different. The children and grandchildren referred to are also the eldest son and grandson, not the younger son and daughter. In the future, when inheriting the title, it will be the eldest son who inherits.

  Fortunately, Madame Lin gave birth to this only son. Lord Yin is already thirty-five years old. Although he has children, if there is no legitimate son under his knees, it will also be ridiculed by others. Even if a concubine is married in the future, she will still serve as a concubine before the spirit of the original wife, and the legitimate son born to this concubine is also different from that of the original wife.

  It can be said that Yin Ruofei is the only one that Old Madam values. Yin Ruofei was spoiled by her and Daling Shi since he was young, always mischievous. Although he also showed respect to her before, it was occasional and he would often try to be clever, even when asking for an audience, he would steal a lazy glance. Old Madam doted on him, naturally she wouldn't blame him for such small things.

  But after falling into the lotus pond and waking up, Yin Ruofei seemed to have changed into a different person. It wasn't that her appearance had changed or anything, but her temperament had become vastly different. Originally lively and playful, she was now calm and dignified, with every gesture and word measured and polite, even at such a young age. The old lady's heart was truly delighted as she watched her.

  Yin Ruofei paid his respects to the elderly lady, and then also paid his respects to Lin Shi and his two elder brothers.

  "Feier, have you had breakfast?" The old lady's words were directed at Yin Ruofei, but her eyes were fixed on Ziliang standing beside him.

  "Regarding Madam's words, Seventh Young Master has not had dinner yet." Zi Ling replied with a bow.

  "What's taking so long to eat?" The old lady's face sank, and she pulled Yin Ruofei's small hand again, startling her. She hastily questioned Ziliang, who was standing on the side, "Why is this hand so cold? Is it because you're not wearing enough clothes?"

  "Back to Old Lady... Seventh Master... Seventh Master..." Zi Ling's eyes flickered, and she stuttered, unable to speak.

  "Seventh Young Master got up really early today, usually he doesn't get up this early." Xiaolin covered her mouth with the silk handkerchief and smiled, "Did he wake up too suddenly today?"

  Yin Ruofei just smiled and didn't say a word, but Old Lady's face didn't look too good.

  Kobayashi saw the old lady's face slightly sink and knew he had misspoken, so he lightly coughed and stopped talking.

  It was Yin Jintang who smiled behind her, "Seventh brother, on the way to pay respects to grandmother just now, I seemed to have seen you. I thought you were here to pay respects too, but later I saw you walking towards the garden...I guess it was my eyes playing tricks on me!"

  Yin Jintang is the second young master of the Yin family, thirteen years old this year. He and the eldest son of the Yin family, Yin Jinyuan, are known as the literary and martial arts double masters of the Yin family. Yin Jinyuan likes to practice martial arts, following Town Jiang Hou Yin Haicheng since childhood, at the age of fifteen, his martial arts skills are already outstanding. Unlike Yin Jinyuan, Yin Jintang has a smiling and scholarly appearance on the surface, but he is actually very sinister.

  At first, Yin Ruofei was blocked by a group of young masters in the alley and almost played with, it was this second master of the Yin family who instigated it.

  Enemies meet, eyes turn red. When Yin Ruofei saw the smiling tiger again, she was already controlling her emotions. At this moment, seeing him provoke with words, she hated to spit blood in her heart, but a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

  "It turned out that Second Brother had seen it."

  "What is Fei'er doing in the garden so early?" The old lady's face was full of surprise. She wasn't that she didn't understand Yin Jintang's deliberate provocation, Yin Ruofei was still young and playful, but she was more curious, on such a cold day, without even eating, what was she doing in the garden? "Didn't this hand get frostbitten in the garden?"

  "Yes, Seventh Young Master, so early, could it be that you're going to pick flowers for the elderly madam?" Xiang Lin smiled and said, "Or is Seventh Young Master being filial, knowing that the elderly madam loves flowers, specially picking some for her."

  "Is Fei going to pick flowers for her grandmother?" The old lady looked at Xiaolin's expression, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. These young women are just so petty-minded, where is the dignity of those legitimate daughters, the elegance of the main room? As soon as she opens her mouth, it's this kind of sharp and sour words. Clearly knowing that she doesn't like people picking flowers, yet still deliberately bringing it up in front of everyone, is she trying to get her to scold Fei?

  The old lady didn't slap her face, but her expression still sank a bit.

  Kobayashi didn't know that the old lady was annoyed with her, and thought she was angry because she heard Yin Ruofei fold the flower. She secretly smiled in her heart, but on her face, she pretended to be gentle. "Seventh young master, why not take out the folded flowers? The sooner they are put in water, the more days they may bloom."

  Kobayashi's expression changed slightly, wanting to stop him, but was blocked by Yin Jintang. "Brother also wants to see what kind of flower the seventh brother has picked?" He said, looking at the old lady again, "Grandmother loves the seventh brother the most, so the flowers he picks must be the ones that grandmother likes."

  "Then bring it over." The old lady nodded slightly, neither approving nor disapproving. With these few people having spoken their minds, what else could she say? Although Xiao Lin was a concubine, she was also a noble one, especially now that she held power in the household, so she couldn't easily lose face to her either.

  "This..." Yin Ruofei hesitated, pretending to be uncertain. Seeing him like this, Yin Jintang became even more confident and secretly nudged his mother, Xiao Linshi.

  Kobayashi nodded and said, "Quickly go get it, put the flowers in, the old lady wants to have breakfast."

  "But, Erniang, this flower..." Yin Ruofei also became tongue-tied like Zilong.

  "I think Seventh Brother must be young and shy, his face is thin." Yin Jintang chuckled and pointed to the big servant girl standing beside him, "Bimonth, you go help Seventh Master carry it."

  "Slow!" Yin Ruofei stopped Biyue, turned around and looked at the old lady, "Grandmother, grandson is not unwilling to give flowers to grandmother, but... never mind, Zili, go outside and let Tingfeng bring in the flowers."
