Yin Fengyu smiled and replied, "Granny, it is only right to greet Mother every morning. I dare not accept your words, but I still thank you for your praise."

The old woman continued with a smile, "Sixth Miss's words are getting sweeter and sweeter. Please have a seat, Sixth Miss! Madam will be out soon after she's finished getting ready."

Yin Fengyu nodded and stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently. Now that it was quiet, Yin Fengyu's feelings became increasingly clear: the bodice was far too tight, making her chest feel stuffy. Her undergarments were also very tight.

Despite the sweltering summer heat, Yin Fengyu was dressed in thick clothes. Even though it was still dark, she already felt quite hot.

Seeing Yin Fengyu's appearance, Granny Zhou knew what was wrong. She quickly whispered, "Sixth Miss, this is your first time being wrapped up. You'll get used to it. Also, a calm mind will cool you down. If you calm your mind, you won't feel so hot."

It's still early, and we can't put ice in the room to cool off, so please bear with it, young lady!" Yin Fengyu nodded, indicating that she understood.

At this moment, Madam Zhang had already dressed and was doing her hair when she heard the commotion outside. She asked, "Granny Liu, is someone coming?"

The old nanny Liu said, "Perhaps it's the Sixth Miss. The Sixth Miss is always the first to pay her respects."

Zhang said with relief, "Sixth Miss is so thoughtful. If only Sixth Miss wasn't born to that wretched Li! For the past five years, I've been teaching Sixth Miss and Seventh Miss together!"

The sixth young lady seemed more sensible and likable than the seventh young lady, and her looks were also top-notch; she knew very well how to please the master.

Granny Liu chimed in, "Madam, you don't need to worry about that. A birth mother is not as good as a foster mother. You raised Sixth Miss for so many years and intentionally or unintentionally prevented her from seeing Concubine Li. Sixth Miss has seen Concubine Li no more than three times so far. Of course, she is closer to you than Madam."

Zhang said, "I hope so! Granny Liu, go and call Sixth Miss in!"

Granny Liu bowed and said, "Yes, Madam."

After saying that, Granny Liu walked to the door and instructed the old woman outside, "Go and invite the Sixth Miss over. Madam wants to see her."

Inside the main hall, Granny Zhou was still talking to Yin Fengyu: "Sixth Miss, you are a concubine's daughter. It is already very difficult for you to be raised by the Madam's side. Be more diligent every day and come to pay your respects early. The Madam will take notice."

"From now on, the lady will love the girl even more, and the girl will be able to marry into a good family."

Yin Fengyu thought to herself, "Marry me? How am I supposed to marry you? You know my true identity as a man better than anyone. Why would anyone marry me? To scare me? Or is it that you've developed feelings for me while acting and now think I'm a woman?"

However, Yin Fengyu did not show it on her face, but smiled at Granny Zhou to indicate that she understood.

Not long after Yin Fengyu arrived, the others arrived one after another, with the Seventh Sister, Yin Ziyao, arriving first.

Yin Zixiao has a very lively personality. Because of Zhang Shi's pampering and being the legitimate daughter, Yin Zixiao's personality is like that of a proud little princess, which is the complete opposite of Yin Fengyu's quiet and calm personality.

At this moment, Yin Zixiao walked up to Yin Fengyu and said somewhat arrogantly, "Zijin, you always call me when you greet Mother, and even when I can't get out of bed, you still call me."

Why did you come without calling me this time? Zijing, have you forgotten about me?

Suddenly, Yin Ziyao's voice came from outside: "Seventh Sister, it's not that Sixth Sister doesn't want to greet you! Sixth Sister just wants to curry favor with Mother. She probably doesn't usually want to greet you either! So that when you're around, it doesn't show that Sixth Sister is the first one to pay her respects to Mother!"

Yin Ziyao's attempt to sow discord made Yin Ziyao somewhat doubtful. She immediately tugged at Yin Zijin's sleeve and said angrily, "Zijin, is that so? Is what Fifth Sister said true?"

Yin Fengyu initially didn't want to pay attention to Yin Ziyao, but after thinking about it, she felt she had to argue back. After all, she and Yin Ziyao would be seeing each other all the time, and Yin Ziyao had a carefree personality and was easily provoked by others.

Yin Fengyu looked aggrieved, her big, bright eyes showing a hint of innocence. She said, "Fifth Sister, how could you say such a thing about Zijing! As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important virtue. Although Mother is not Zijing's biological mother, she raised Zijing by her side for five whole years, providing her with the best food, clothing and daily necessities."

Zijing was deeply grateful for her mother's kindness and had no way to repay it, so she thought of paying her respects to her mother every morning and serving her by her side. If her mother needed anything, Zijing could also help.

Fifth Sister, on the other hand, only knows how to argue and doesn't care for her younger sisters; she only knows how to sow discord. If Fifth Sister were so kind, she could come to pay her respects to Mother earlier, just like Zijing. Mother would understand Fifth Sister's intentions.

In short, Mother understands everything perfectly well; there's no need for Fifth Sister to sow discord between Zijing and Seventh Sister..."
