  "Does mother have someone in mind?"

  "I do know one thing, but I don't know what you mean, Master." The old lady ordered Biyu to serve tea again. After talking for so long, everyone was getting a bit parched. "Fu Yongbo's eldest daughter, first because she missed her marriage due to mourning her grandfather, and then because her fiancé suddenly fell off his horse and died, becoming a widow before marriage. But I heard that Fu Yongbo's wife didn't want her daughter to be lonely for the rest of her life, so she intentionally sought out a good family."

  Yin Haicheng furrowed his brow, "What's the character of this Chen family girl like?"

  "This girl, I did see her a few years ago. She's steady and composed, although not particularly outstanding, but as the mistress of our household, she has to be able to keep those young women in line, so looks are secondary." The old lady seemed quite satisfied with Chen's daughter, "It's just that this girl wasted her youth, now she's already twenty-three."

  "It doesn't matter, my son is busy with official duties and has no time to comfort that little girl. If it were a dignified and composed person, I would trouble her mother to mediate. At this age, Yin Haicheng had long lost his romantic heart, and national affairs were already too much to handle. Marrying a virtuous wife, having a wise and gentle wife who is well-read and reasonable is enough, as for appearance, it's fine as long as she's passable, otherwise what's the use of those beautiful concubines."

  Yin Ruofei listened quietly on the side, in her previous life, this little Lin was also not fulfilled, and his father Yin Haicheng married a Chen family daughter. However, the female children of the Chen family were somewhat cold, perhaps due to their fate being somewhat complicated, everything was light and did not capture Yin Haicheng's heart.

  Of course, Kobayashi's contribution is great here, and he has not been idle. In this life, he must have lent a helping hand, and there are people who are evenly matched with Kobayashi, struggling to gain the upper hand, so that he can take revenge.

  "Fei Er." Yin Hai Cheng looked at Yin Ruo Fei who was lowering her head in silence, "This time it was Father's mistake to blame you, your second aunt... must have also been deceived by someone, don't hold a grudge against her."

  Yin Haicheng knew that there was something fishy about it and suspected that Xiaoling had ulterior motives, but he couldn't say this to his son.

  "Father's teaching is that Erniang is also a senior of her son."

  Marquis Yin's face slightly cleared up, and he was about to speak when the old lady became displeased. "What kind of proper elder is she? She's just a concubine."

  Yin Ruofei secretly smiled in her heart, but her face didn't show a hint of it. She bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandmother is right. I've been following Sun Mr. to read the classics, so I know that although Second Aunt is a concubine, she's still someone who serves Father. I respect them not because of their status, but because I hope they can serve Father wholeheartedly. As for me, I'm already unfilial for not being able to attend to Father all the time, this is just my way of slightly fulfilling my filial duty."

  A seven or eight year old child, dressed neatly and solemnly, spoke out these words, which greatly surprised Master Yin, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

  This child seems different from before and is exceptionally mischievous when talking privately with Linyang, refusing to listen to advice.

  Is this child's mind deep and heavy, or is Liniang doing it on purpose?

  Yin Ruofei didn't seem to have much change in her expression, whether she was annoyed or pleased. She felt a little comforted in her heart, at this age, even if she had some small calculations, how deep could they be? And if this child didn't have any conscience, he would be the one to worry. Those words from before, perhaps it was because Liniang had something on her mind that she deliberately said them.

  With his previous suspicions, Yin Haicheng shifted the blame onto Xiao Lin's head.

  On this side, Master Yin was thinking about things, on the other side, the old lady had already wrapped Yin Ruofei in her arms, "Look, my good grandson. After all, he is a legitimate son and grandson, it's just different from those who can't get on stage, how can they compare with my precious golden grandson."

  Yin Ruofei secretly smiled to himself. As long as he had a good relationship with the old lady, he would have secured three points in this mansion. Those evil spirits could bring it on, but he would make them suffer a thousand times over.

  Although she thought so in her heart, she deliberately showed a hint of shyness on her face and rushed into the old lady's arms, complaining softly, "Grandma is embarrassing her grandson..." which made the old lady burst out laughing again.

  Although Lord Yin was a bit of a sly and cunning person, he was also a filial son. Seeing his legitimate son making his mother happy, he was naturally delighted too. He reached out from his waist and pulled down the jade pendant that was close to his body, called over Yin Ruofei, and personally tied it around his waist.

  "My son has grown up, this jade pendant was worn by his father since he was a young man, and today it is given to you. My son must study hard and also take care of his grandmother for me!" Duke Yin instructed, holding Yin Ruofei's hand.

  "Father." Yin Ruofei took a look at the crystal-clear and warm jade pendant on his waist, knowing that this was a good thing, and quickly thanked his father. "Even if Father doesn't give me the jade pendant, I will still take good care of Grandmother. My studies will not be neglected for even a moment, and in the future, I will make the Hou Mansion's gate flourish."

  "Okay, okay, good child, come here to grandma quickly."

  Lord Yin looked at his son with satisfaction, listening to his mother calling out to him uncontrollably, and let go of his hand, allowing his son to pass.

  At noon, the old lady kept the two men, Yin Gongye and his son, in her courtyard for lunch. Yin Haicheng also had someone inform them of the arrangement. It was rare to see his mother so happy, and he naturally enjoyed accompanying her.

  The scene of the father's kindness and the son's filial piety made the old lady feel extremely pleased. Yin Ruofei's childish words seemed silly, but actually every sentence was flattering to the old lady, making her laugh non-stop. The few people who ate together were all flushed with pleasure, even the maids serving in the back had smiles on their faces that couldn't be stopped.

  After dinner, Mr. Yin excused himself on the grounds of being busy with official business and hastily left. Yin Ruofei watched Mr. Yin's back, sighed in her heart, today seemed very successful, but it was not necessarily true that she had entered Mr. Yin's eyes. Mr. Yin looked at his eldest son with such favor, personally teaching him from a young age, this decade-long affection was naturally extraordinary.

  Although he held the title of eldest son, he was actually just one of many sons. With six older brothers above him, each of whom were not to be underestimated, he wanted to stand out and smoothly inherit the title, but it was far from being as simple as he had thought.

  The old lady looked at Yin Ruofei dazedly watching the back of Yin Houye leaving, thinking that this precious grandson was sad because he rarely saw his father, and her heart couldn't help but ache with pity, so she took him in her arms and softly comforted him.

  Yin Ruofei naturally leaned into the old lady's arms and played coquettishly, and after a while of playing with her grandson, the old lady kept Yin Ruofei in the side room to take a nap and arranged for her personal maid to go over and serve him.

  After the nap, Yin Ruofei told Old Madam that she wanted to go back and study, Old Madam had no reason not to agree, and again carefully instructed a few more sentences, fearing that her golden grandson would be exhausted, and also worried that he couldn't keep up with his schoolwork.

  Zi Ling and others had already returned, so Old Madam simply called Bi Yu to send Yin Ruo Fei back to Jianyuan.

  Before, Biyu just treated Yin Ruofei as the young master of the Hou Mansion, at most distinguishing him from his other brothers as the legitimate and illegitimate young masters. But now she no longer sees him that way.

  Yin Ruofei's performance over the past few days has already shattered Biyu's views.

  This young master, contrary to his previous mischievous attitude, has become extremely likable. These days, he has been coaxing the old lady into extreme happiness, and she can't help but smile whenever she sees him.

  Biyu is Zhang Mama's granddaughter. Zhang Mama and her family used to be the accompanying house of the old madam, and she also belonged to the old madam's personal attendants, with a special status in this marquis' manor. Not to mention others, even those who managed affairs would call out "Miss Biyu" when they saw her.

  And so, Biyu didn't have to curry favor with anyone, she just single-mindedly attended to Old Madam. She had grown up by Old Madam's side since childhood, clever and quick-witted, and Old Madam loved her dearly, naturally she was also deeply devoted to Old Madam in her heart.

  In Biyu's view, whether it is a legitimate child or an illegitimate child, as long as they are sincere to the old lady and the old lady likes them, that is her acknowledged master.

  Biyu Ke diligently escorted Yin Ruofei back, but in fact, it made Yin Ruofei laugh. Not to mention that he was actually a man who had experienced many hardships, even if you only looked at his current age, he was already eight years old, wouldn't he still trip and fall on the road?

  But this is all grandmother's kindness, he naturally won't say anything, and there must be some intention of the old lady in it.

  Since his mother passed away, he has been getting into trouble frequently, which has caught the attention of the elderly lady. It's likely that this is a wake-up call for those who like to flatter and bully others, reminding them to be honest and fair-minded.

  Bi Yu actually wasn't empty-handed, letting Bi Yu make a trip, apart from sending the person to Zi Ling Zi Yun's hands, she also held a small basket in her hand, inside were several pastries specially made by the old lady in the small kitchen.

  Yin Ruofei had suffered hardships and injustices, so he cherished these exquisite delicacies all the more, savoring each bite carefully. This, however, led Old Lady to misunderstand that some petty person was embezzling his allowance, and she began investigating.

  This was also made by the old lady and the kitchen maid for the young grandson to satisfy his cravings, and it still had some residual warmth.

  Two people walked through the garden, and a person came from far ahead.

  Yin Ruofei furrowed his brow unintentionally, and the person who came forward was his third brother, Yin Jinhong. At this time, school should not have been dismissed yet, so why was Yin Jinhong here?

  Not allowing him to think much, Yin Jinhong brought the two young servants behind him over.

  Yin Jinhong heard that his father, Yin Haicheng, had sent someone to the place where the young man who had caused trouble yesterday was staying, and he knew it wouldn't be good, so he slipped out halfway and quickly went to discuss a plan with his aunt.

  Passing through the garden and turning right, it was Mei Yuan of his birth mother Chen Yinniang. He was in a hurry to seek help from the troops, but unexpectedly ran into Yin Ruofei face to face.

  Yin Jinhong was furious, thinking that this must be Yin Ruofei's doing, and naturally didn't have a good face. As he looked at her with disdain, his eyes were caught by something on Yin Ruofei's body, and after taking a closer look, his face turned extremely ugly.

  The author has something to say: You guys!!! What kind of human nature is this? Normally, you ignore me and treat me like a wooden person. But as soon as I mention taking off my pants, suddenly a group of people gather around, watching me take off my pants and shouting that I'm a pervert...

  *sigh*...

  You rascals...

  I'm not a rascal at all...
