The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Yin Zijing's small feet were adorned with exquisitely embroidered shoes, embellished with delicate gold chains. While the decorations were beautiful, they made walking difficult and slowed him down. He could only move forward in tiny steps, as if each step required immense effort.

Yin Zijing walked with difficulty, glancing at Yin Gui ahead, who was growing ever more distant. Anxiety welled up within him; he wanted to quicken his pace to catch up, but his feet were bound by gold chains, preventing him from moving quickly. His heart was filled with helplessness and anxiety…

Yin Gui had slowed his pace considerably, but he sensed that the person behind him hadn't caught up yet, so he turned around and saw Yin Zijing walking as if on a knife's edge, each step light and graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind, calm and dignified.

Yin Gui said somewhat angrily, "If Zijing is willing to live a sheltered life as a young lady, then go back to the Yin residence! There are servants there who teach young ladies how to walk. Zijing, we are going there to treat an illness and save a life..."

Yin Zijing walked calmly and gracefully to Yin Gui, looking embarrassed and helpless. A blush of embarrassment appeared on her sickly face. Yin Zijing carefully lifted a corner of her ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), revealing her bound feet and the delicate gold chain attached to them, and said, "Third Uncle, Zijing also wants to walk faster, but I really can't..."

Yin Gui sighed, picked up Yin Zijin from the ground, and walked quickly forward, saying as he walked, "Forget it, I'll go back tonight and talk to my sister-in-law, and ask her to send you a eunuch to serve you personally."

Yin Zijing asked, "Is he a eunuch?"

Yin Gui nodded and said, "He is a eunuch, but there is a difference. Eunuchs can only serve in the palace. This castrated man is the son of a disgraced official who is handsome, strong, and extremely talented."

The palace would send special people to select those deemed valuable; those deemed worthy would be spared, but while they might escape death, they would not escape punishment. They would be castrated, then completely removed, and subsequently sold, but at extremely high prices, generally only affordable to aristocratic families.

Your mother seems to have arranged for you to be with Shen Lu, but Shen Lu is a man, and someone who can't be seen in public. He can only protect you secretly. Shen Lu will never offer himself to you unless there's danger. But this eunuch is different; like a maid, he can freely enter and leave the young lady's boudoir, and help her bathe and undress…

If you can't walk when the time comes, just have him carry you or put him on his back wherever you want to go. Anyway, since everything's been cut off, nothing bad will happen.

Yin Zijing asked, looking completely bewildered, "Do these people still exist? I haven't seen them in the inner quarters of the Yin residence."

Yin Xu quickly replied, "My elder sister-in-law is a self-disciplined and respectful person. Although those eunuchs have been castrated, they were once elegant young noblemen and are men. My elder sister-in-law is very superstitious about them, so there are no eunuchs in the mansion."

Yin Zijing pouted and whispered, "My mother definitely won't agree. It doesn't matter to me, after all, I'm a man." She silently repeated the last two words to herself…

Yin Xu smiled and said, "If it were Zijing, your mother would probably agree. Plus, if I put in a good word for her, it should work out."

I wanted to untie your fine gold chain and unbind your feet. But that's only a temporary solution. If you want to live as a woman, you have to adapt to this society, otherwise you'll be treated as an outcast and eaten alive. So, the only thing I could think of was the existence of a eunuch. Where do you want to go then? Just have him carry you there.”

Yin Zijin had become indifferent to the population trade of the Great Sheng Dynasty, but she still asked somewhat awkwardly, "It must cost a lot of money! With that money, it would be better to exchange it for some grain to help disaster victims."

Yin Xu smiled and said, "This amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for the Yin family of the Four Great Worlds, not even a drop in the ocean. As for the matter of disaster relief, young lady, don't worry about it. The Yin family is already mobilizing grain from all over the world at its own expense, and it should be almost done."

If the girl doesn't want a eunuch, she can stay in her boudoir and embroider. How can someone who can't even walk properly, let alone run fast, practice medicine or study medicine?

Yin Zijing nodded and said, "Alright then! Uncle, you can decide."

As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of the disaster relief site. Yin Xu put Yin Zijin down, and Yin Zijin took out a white veil from her bosom and put it on.

Yin Xu sighed and said, "It's really troublesome for women to study medicine. Let's go!"
