Perhaps Guard Wang was indeed a filial son, and the opportunity they had been waiting for came very quickly.

Not long after, Guard Wang began to act strangely on several occasions, which was noticed by Yu Shuming.

Yu Shuming quickly told his father all of this, and the rest of the matter proceeded much more smoothly.

Although Yu's father was a deposed emperor, he still had a few trustworthy and loyal followers in the court. With their help, every single servant he brought with him was thoroughly vetted.

The circumstances of many families were also directly presented on the table.

The servants, who had masters behind them, were spoken to personally by Yu Shuming and Yu's father, and then left one by one wiping away tears.

Of course, these are people who can clearly see the situation.

Those who still stubbornly denied the evidence, even with it laid bare before them, were all assigned by Yu's father to do other trivial tasks that didn't touch the core issues.

As for a one-step solution, Yu's father had no such intention. After all, he had just arrived in Qin County and had not yet cultivated enough trustworthy people. What he had now were resources.

With everything settled at home, apart from the fact that the living quarters remained largely unchanged, everything else had changed considerably since I first arrived.

The most obvious difference is the atmosphere and spirit of the home.

In a household, everyone has their own thoughts and schemes, which is completely different from being loyal to one master and working together towards the same goal.

Over the next two years, under Yu Shuming's "ingenious ideas," the Yu family produced many new things.

Qin County, which was initially so poor that all you could see were mountains, gradually became prosperous, attracting many merchants.

Yin Yin has also changed from a baby who could only stay at home to a little girl who can go out with adults and buy some tempting snacks.

However, compared to going to the market to see the same old food, Yin Yin preferred to go to the mountains with her father and brothers. But because she was young, her father and brothers rarely took her with them.

But when there's not much to do, Yinyin can manage to pester them for a while and succeed.

The azalea in Yinyin's room was picked up from the mountains last spring and dug up by Yinyin herself. The wild chrysanthemum pillow on her cot was also picked by the whole family last autumn.

Seeing Yinyin yawn on the couch, hugging her little pillow, and looking like she was about to fall asleep again, Zhang Mama quickly said, "Your Highness, I think the azalea you brought back from the mountain last year seems to be growing flower buds. Would you like to take a look?"

As the old saying goes, spring brings fatigue, autumn brings drowsiness, and summer brings lethargy.

In the eyes of Zhang Mama, who had been promoted to the rank of nanny and was now in charge of all the affairs around Yin Yin, her prince had put this saying into practice to the extreme.

In fact, for the servants who are in charge, such a young master is particularly easy to manage because there is nothing to tell them, and it is also very worry-free.

But for Granny Zhang, whose heart was completely devoted to Yin Yin, it would be better for her prince to go out and play like other children and cause trouble everywhere.

Where else can you find a child so quiet, always seeming like they can't get enough sleep?

Because of this, Granny Zhang even reported it to the Prince and Princess, and they also found a doctor to examine Yin Yin.

But in the end, the doctor's diagnosis only said that Yin Yin was exceptionally healthy and had no problems whatsoever, so they could only take extra care of her themselves.

However, Granny Zhang still often tried to find ways to encourage Yin Yin to go outside more often.

Yinyin knew that Granny Zhang meant well, but she couldn't tell her that she slept every day so that she wouldn't be disturbed when practicing her internal energy. So she had to put aside her own affairs and talk to her.

"It's already starting to grow flower buds?" Yin Yin was a little surprised. "But there weren't any when I watered it yesterday morning."

“These flowers grow so fast, they change almost every day,” Zhang Mama said with a smile. “When His Highness sees them later, he will surely notice them very quickly.”

If it were anything else, Yin Yin would probably not want to go, but she really couldn't let go of this pot of azaleas.

It wasn't just that Yin Yin liked it when she first went out with the tree and had it transplanted; it was also a flower that Yin Yin, thinking of the strangeness of the divine tree, couldn't resist infusing with some of her inner energy.

The amount of internal energy wasn't much, and after it was transferred in, Du Juan didn't change much; she remained vibrant and full of life.

So afterwards, Yinyin tried it a few more times, on and off.

After a year of experimentation, the flower is now actually starting to bud, and Yinyin can't help but take a closer look.

Seeing that the azalea could make Yinyin move so much, Granny Zhang would always bring it up.

Yinyin carried her specially made little spray bottle and walked around quite frequently.

A few days later, the flower buds grew bigger and bigger, and finally it was time for them to bloom.

Yinyin looked at the flower and fell silent for a moment: "This flower isn't red."

Granny Zhang came over to take a look, and was also somewhat puzzled: "Can red azaleas also bloom with purple flowers?"

Yes, it's definitely possible. Adjusting the soil's pH level can also change the color of azaleas.

The problem is, this flower uses its original soil, so where would it get the chance to change its pH level?

Yinyin immediately thought of the fact that she had used the flower as a test subject, and felt a little guilty. Could it be because of her internal energy? She immediately asked, "Did my flower die? Did someone replace it?"

Granny Zhang also had this question, but quickly dismissed the answer: "Definitely not."

“Your Highness likes this flower. It’s usually kept in front of the door and no one moves it. There’s never been a chance to change the flowers.”

"Besides, if someone breaks it, they will definitely tell me so that I can go to the storeroom to get a new flowerpot."

Yinyin knew this made sense, but the flower's color had changed, and at her age, she was definitely going to be unhappy.

So Yinyin quickly showed her displeasure, her little face puffed up, making you want to poke her.

Zhang Mama only thought about it, but some people would actually take action.

Yu Shuming poked her first, then naturally withdrew his hand under his sister's half-closed eyes: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Yinyin pointed to the flowerpot in front of her and said succinctly, "Flower."

Seeing Yu Shuming's bewildered expression, Zhang Mama quickly explained, "The red azaleas that the young prince cultivated last year have now turned into purple azaleas, and he's quite unhappy about it."

Upon hearing her say that, Yu Shuming realized that his family had never grown purple azaleas.

"Are you sure the flowers haven't been switched?"

Zhang Mama nodded: "The people who serve in the young prince's courtyard are not allowed to leave the house on a daily basis, so where would they get the opportunity to change the flowers?"

It wasn't replaced, yet it bloomed with purple flowers—such a rare occurrence happening in my home…

Yu Shuming's gaze fell on his younger sister and Zhang Mama: "Tell me in detail how you usually take care of these flowers, and don't forget anything."
