Chapter 50: Gift

  Gift

  The sister and brother saluted Yin Haicheng, who smiled and hastily asked them to get up. His daughter was fine, as always, and this time she had been away for so long that he really missed her. Turning his head to look at his son again, although they had just met, he felt that the child seemed to have changed a bit.

  Not to mention getting darker and thinner, but the whole person has become a lot more spirited.

  This is the benefit of cultivating internal energy. At this time, although Yin Ruofei can't feel much, but during the day, as long as he works hard and practices qigong for a few hours at night, it's enough to make up for a good night's sleep.

  The meal is ready, three generations of four people sit together. The old lady and Ruiqi both pity Yin Ruofei and frequently persuade him to eat more. However, the few people soon discovered that they seemed to have worried in vain. Yin Ruofei ate very quickly and a lot. When they had not finished half a bowl of white rice, Yin Ruofei had already finished two bowls.

  "This..." The old lady was a bit worried, "Fei'er, isn't it that you can't eat your fill in the palace?"

  "No." Yin Ruofei looked a bit embarrassed, "These days I've been eating a lot and got used to it. Don't worry, Grandmother, Ze Wang is very good to our grandson, he eats well and lives well, our grandson's body is sturdy and not thin at all."

  Yin Ruofei explained, and everyone else finally put their minds at ease.

  At this time, Jin Yuan was having dinner with Xiaolin. These two days, Xiaolin had been scolded countless times, and she was fined and reprimanded, which made her suddenly disheartened.

  She thought that, as before, she would pout and cry, throw a tantrum, and cling to Master Hou's leg, crying pitifully like a pear blossom in the rain, and after apologizing, everything would go back to normal, and she would be forgiven by Yin Haicheng and get back on her feet.

  Unfortunately, she miscalculated this time. Before she could even make a move, Yin Haicheng had already turned around and left, not even giving her a glance.

  Jin Yuan heard that his mother had not eaten properly for several days, so he knelt outside Yin Haicheng's study and begged to see her. He personally instructed the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Lady Lin loved to eat and brought them over.

  Kobayashi's face was gloomy and unattractive. Kinno thought of comforting him a few words, but unexpectedly provoked the other party to scold him for being unfilial while crying.

  Jin Yuan's face turned ugly. "Mother, why must you be so stubborn? Things have come to this point, don't you know when to repent?"

  "Oh no, I'm done for! You're a good son, only following your father's words and speaking ill of me, not letting me live..." Xiaolin cried breathlessly.

  "Mother, what are you talking about? Those things were found in your room, was it someone else's trap?"

  "It's all framing, what are you going to do?" Xiaolin heard it and didn't cry anymore, stepped forward and grabbed Jinyuan's hand, "Yuanner, hurry up and tell your father that mother is innocent, let him release me, I will definitely manage this family well."

  "Mother!" Jin Yuan could no longer bear it.

  "...Don't you want to? I'm your own mother, are you going to acknowledge that short-lived woman Yin Ruofei as your mother instead?"

  "Mother, Fei'er's mother is my mother, my stepmother, this can't be changed." Jin Yuan really couldn't listen anymore. "And where's father? I won't go tell him. Mother made a mistake, just admit it and apologize, Father will let you come back sooner or later."

  "Go back? It's too late to go back. Once that little demon enters the door, where will we mother and son have a place to stand? Yuan'er, you're stupid!"

  "Mother, you should be more careful with your words. That is Father's second wife and the official mistress of the Hou estate." Jin Yuan hesitated for a moment, "… Mother, put out this mind to manage the household again!"

  Jin Yuan stormed out with a flick of his sleeve, while Xiao Lin's mother cried until she was almost dead, and the mother and son parted on bad terms.

  After a day of waiting, it was finally the day of the wedding procession.

  Although Chen's daughter is old and a widow, Yin Haicheng is not a stubborn person and doesn't care about these things. However, although the Chen family is satisfied with Yin Haicheng, they are still worried that their daughter will have a hard life because of his many children, so they prepared a generous dowry.

  Those boxes and items made the numerous unmarried daughters of the Hou Mansion envy and admire, they began to ponder what kind of scene it would be when they got married, whether they could match the one in front of them.

  Rui Qi, although a straightforward woman, was also a woman, with a reddened face thinking deeply. She had to wait for more than a year due to her filial piety, and her fiancé's family couldn't do anything about it either, so they could only keep waiting.

  Yin Ruofei looked at her sister's expression and guessed that she might be thinking about marriage again. She pulled Ruiqi's sleeve, "Second sister, yesterday when I came back through Pingkangfang, I saw my future brother-in-law. Second sister, what kind of place is Pingkangfang?"

  Reborn for a lifetime, Yin Ruofei naturally asked what Pingkangfang was, and this sentence was intentionally said to Ruiqi.

  Rui Qi is a girl, and actually doesn't know either, but since she's already spoken up, Rui Qi's personality will definitely go back to investigate, and once she finds out what kind of place it is, she'll definitely get angry with the other party first.

  Yin Ruofei sneered in his heart, reborn for a lifetime, still wanting to marry my sister, dream on! Young Master will make sure you can't even touch a woman's hair.

  Yin Ruofei followed Yong Shi, who had come to pick him up on purpose, and left after the formalities were over. Yin Haicheng saw that his son was fine in the palace, so he let him go with peace of mind.

  Yin Ruofei specially instructed Erjie to take good care of Xiaomei before he left. Previously, he only dared to secretly send some things to Xiaomei, and in his previous life, he had wronged his sister too much, so this time he just came back and didn't dare let anyone know that he was close to Xiaomei. Now that the claws of Xiaolin's family have been eliminated, he can finally be at ease, but unfortunately, he has to leave.

  Yin Ruofei returned to Rong Jingze's place with various things she had gathered from Rui Qi.

  "How was the play?"

  "I didn't have any fun." Yin Ruofei stood respectfully in front of Rong Jingze, "After paying respects to the new mother and receiving gifts, I was worried about Prince Wang, so I hurried back. I didn't even eat a few bites of the banquet."

  Rong Jingze couldn't help but laugh. "This little mouth is indeed not grown in vain, and it will take only a few days to learn how to please people, it's clear that you have talent."

  "The king's upbringing is good."

  "The apprentice is learning well."

  The two of them flattered each other for a while, and the several guards standing beside them got goosebumps.

  "I've brought back some stuff for everyone."

  Yin Ruofei spread out the things she had brought with her again. When she first entered the palace gate, she was thoroughly searched, and later it was Rong Shiliang who showed his token that the guarding guards hurriedly let them pass.

  Yin Ruofei glanced at Rong Jingze, and this lord was actually a tyrant in the palace as well!

  There were many things in the box, and after those exotic foods were taken out, they were sent to the kitchen in the back, where someone would naturally take care of them.

  Ornament sachets and various jade carvings were all taken out by Yin Ruofei, divided into dozens of portions.

  Twenty-eight guards naturally received one share each, although this share might only be a pair of silver rings, a pair of coral earrings or an embroidered sachet filled with fragrant herbs and various floral patterns, but everyone was overjoyed.

  It may not be worth much, but it feels great to be remembered by others.

  "Everyone, these days take care of me, a small gift is not enough to show my respect, all the things were brought back by my sister, everyone please take them back and give them to your wives to play with."

  "Where's mine?" Yong Jingze was a bit displeased. Twenty-eight guards, one share each, and yet he still hadn't gotten his, even though there was almost nothing left on the table...

  "Your Majesty, you have seen and tasted the best of the best, what I have here are just some insignificant trinkets, how can they compare to the tributes that have been presented..."

  "Is it really mine!" Rong Jingze's eyes narrowed dangerously, his hand clenched tightly on the table.

  “…There is.” Yin Ruofei took out a small box from the bottom of the trunk, and opened it to reveal an ivory-hilted curved knife inside. If Rong Shi hadn't intervened just now, this knife would have been discovered for sure, and bringing a concealed blade into the palace wouldn't be a trivial matter either.

  After Rong Jingze took it, he carefully examined the knife. The ivory scabbard was carved with intricate patterns, although it couldn't be seen what they were, but from the exquisite and complex appearance, it could be known that its value was not low. Several gems were inlaid on the hilt, small in size, but bright red, green and blue. When the curved knife was drawn out, a faint chill flashed on its surface.

  Rong Jingze grasped a strand of hair and placed it on the blade's edge. With a gentle blow, the hair split in two.

  "What a fine curved iron sword." Rong Jingze revealed a smile.

  "As long as the prince is happy."

  "It's just... " Rong Jingze smiled strangely. "Did your sister buy this back too?"

  “……”

  A few days later, Rui Qi looked for the curved knife that her uncle had brought back for her father, Yin Hai Cheng, only to find that it had already disappeared. She could only stomp her foot and go apologize to her father.

  Listening to his daughter's description of the knife, Yin Haicheng also felt a pang of heartache. But since the knife had been taken away by Yin Ruofei, it was likely that it had already fallen into Ze Wang's hands by now. Forget it, just admit defeat!

  Rong Jingze got up again and took a look at the box, only to find that there was still one more inside, all of which were women's accessories. He couldn't help but feel curious, "Could this be prepared for the Empress Dowager?"

  "How dare he... send this thing to the empress dowager, and yet he can't even be bothered to stay, rushing out as soon as possible, lest he be thrown out by the empress dowager herself."

  "Who is it for?"

  "Yes, it's for my future wife." Yan Ruo Fei's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

  Rong Jingze's face sank, but he smiled again in an instant. Yin Ruofei was still lowering his head in shyness at this time, unaware that the bad guy in front of him had made up his mind just like before.

  Several days later, Ze Wang formally moved out of the palace and into his own estate. As he was not yet married and did not have any concubines, it was a simple affair. He only brought with him a few trusted eunuchs and palace maids, as well as the twenty-eight guards who had accompanied him to the estate.

  The Emperor and Empress Dowager separately sent their trusted attendants to serve Zewang, but the vast Wangfu was still empty.

  A four-entry courtyard, with corridors on both sides surrounding the house, and famous flowers and grasses planted in the yard, which had been taken care of by someone. Except for the third entry main courtyard where Rong Jingze lived, the front two courtyards were divided into more than a dozen small gardens of varying sizes, except for the main path.

  Yin Ruofei had originally set his sights on a small courtyard in the front yard, which was roughly the same size as the courtyards in his marquis's estate. It was also divided into two smaller courtyards, one in the front and one in the back, so it wouldn't be too large or feel empty.

  However, he obviously ignored Zong Jingze. Prince Ze directly threw him into the main courtyard of the mansion, which was very large. Not to mention accommodating him and a few young servants, even if he were to get married here in the future, it would probably be enough.

  Yin Ruofei didn't want to get too close to Rong Jingze, but the other party's one sentence sent him back, "You're my person, don't be far from me, where do you plan to live?"
