In the middle of the night, Xiyu sobered up a little, and his face turned red when he recalled the ridiculous things he had done.

"Master~Yaoyao was wrong, Master is very magnanimous~"

She lay on the bed, buried her head in the quilt, and begged for mercy in a muffled voice.

Yinzhen panted regularly without pausing, "Yaoyao did nothing wrong. It was I who did something wrong and made Fu Jin unhappy."

"No...no."

Xiyu shook her head slightly, opened her pearly teeth impatiently, and bit her lower lip tightly.

"It was Yaoyao's fault. Yaoyao drank too much and her mind was not clear."

"If Madam Fu is not sure, then it must be because I am not working hard enough." Yinzhen indulged himself in plundering every inch of her territory.

"Bastard!"

Seeing that begging for mercy didn't work, the grievance in her heart surged up, and she sobbed and murmured softly.

"It's obvious that you are indecisive and have someone else in your heart, why are you bullying me like this!"

"You don't allow me to be angry, you are too overbearing..."

……

Yinzhen heard this and continued to ask, "Who do you think I have in my heart, Yaoyao?"

"It's that Tong Jia Qing Tang, who else could it be? Could it be that you have someone else?"

Annoyed, Xiyu struggled to get up, but her waist was firmly held by the man's big hand, and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

Yinzhen understood clearly that the concubine must have heard gossip from others and thus implicated him.

After getting the answer, he no longer hesitated or delayed, and the hot kiss came over her like a storm.

The young concubine couldn't help but let out a moan, clenched the quilt with both hands, and fainted with her head down.

……

The next day—

Before dawn, Yinzhen tiptoed to the window and knocked.

"Master?"

Gao Wuyong's voice came from outside the window.

"Go and find out who was gossiping in front of Fu Jin about the past between me and Tong Jia Qing Tang."

"Yes."

Gao Wuyong acted quickly and soon got the result.

"I have checked and found that few people know about this. No one in the palace would talk about this in front of Fu Jin, but..." He paused, his tone a little hesitant, "I guess if Fu Jin really knew about this, it might have been spread from outside the palace. Fu Jin had a lot of contact with Master Jingtai in the Ulanara Mansion some time ago."

"You said that Fu Jin's family letters need not be taken care of, so I did not check them."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and asked him to guard the door.

Returning to the bed, he gently held Xiao Fu Jin in his arms, their two bodies pressed tightly together.

In her hazy consciousness, Xiyu wanted to change to a more comfortable position, but the pain in her waist made her frown slightly.

Seeing this, Yinzhen raised his hand to smooth her frown, then bent down and gave her a kiss.

It doesn't seem to matter who I heard this from...

It was already past noon, and there was still no movement in the bedroom in the front yard of East No. 3 Building, but no one dared to urge them.

Gao Wuyong stood guard at the door, not daring to relax for a moment.

If people knew that the Fourth Master and his wife haven't woken up yet, it would be a matter of life and death.

Xiyu woke up slowly, and before she could move, she felt soreness in her body, and her waist hurt as if it was cut in half.

She turned over slowly, her body so exhausted that she didn't even want to move a finger.

Xiyu gradually regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and looked at the curved bed curtain above the bed. She blinked her eyelashes slowly, trying to recall her memories of yesterday.

Perhaps she was too tired last night. Even with the spiritual power, she could still feel the tiredness of her body. It felt as heavy as if it was filled with lead, and it seemed that moving a finger would drain all her strength.

She slowly turned over and suddenly felt an intense pain in her body, especially in her waist, which hurt as if someone had cut her in half.

Xiyu groaned in pain, and the man beside her immediately opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear, without any trace of the drowsiness he felt when he just woke up.

"Is Yaoyao awake?"

He turned sideways and looked at the young concubine with a satisfied smile in his eyes.

"why are you laughing?"

Xiyu muttered in confusion, then put her hands on the bed and tried to get up.

As soon as he moved, he gasped in pain and had to lie back down.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he was still angry and didn't even call him "Master".

He didn't care, he just got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water.

"Drink some water first, I'll tell you something serious later."

Seeing his serious expression, Xiyu endured the pain, turned over and lay on the bed, took the cup of water and drank it all.

"Go ahead."

Yinzhen was standing, and when he noticed the height difference between them, he squatted down to look at her at eye level.

"I want to explain the relationship between me and Tong Jia Qingtang."

He spoke slowly, staring at the expression on Little Lady's face the whole time. Seeing that she didn't show any resistance, he continued:

"I did have an engagement with her before, but it was arranged by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor when we were young. Because we were still young at the time, it was not made public.

Later, the Empress Dowager passed away, and the engagement was delayed. When I became an adult, I was poisoned and injured, so the engagement was cancelled..."

Yinzhen only gave a general account of what happened, which was not as detailed as what she heard from her fourth brother.

It did not mention that Tong Jia Qingtang took the initiative to cancel the engagement, nor did it mention what happened after returning to Yonghe Palace.

Perhaps he omitted some of the more painful parts because he didn't want her to know, Xiyu thought.

Yinzhen paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, then he slowly folded his hands together and gently placed them on the edge of the bed.

Then, he lowered his head slightly, letting his chin rest on the back of his hand, and got closer to the young lady. They looked at each other face to face, with sincerity in their eyes.

"Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you that I have never had any affair with Tong Jia Qing Tang, let alone been attracted to her. This was the case in the past, it is the same now, and it will never happen in the future."

The man's voice was low and firm, and every word was spoken with exceptional clarity, as if he was swearing to her.
