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

Having lived so long, Yin Zijing had long since developed a keen eye for understanding people's hearts. How could he not understand the deeper meaning in Granny Zhou's words? At this moment, he leaned weakly against the backrest and said softly, "Granny Zhou, I understand what you mean..."

Granny Zhou's smile was rather strange, as if it concealed some unknown secret. She quickly pressed, "Does Miss truly understand everything?"

Yin Zijin simply nodded silently, as if saying another word would exhaust all his strength, and he really didn't want to say another word.

Seeing this, Granny Zhou carefully tucked the blanket around Yin Zijin, then said with a smile, "That's very good. Miss, you might as well think about it carefully. You will experience it firsthand and understand it deeply in the future. Oh! By the way, Ah Tian, ​​quickly go to the cabinet and get the golden bee that Madam bestowed upon you."

Filled with suspicion, Yin Zijing couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do these golden bees do?"

Granny Zhou raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and slowly explained, "Don't be impatient, young lady, you will naturally be able to experience the wonders of the golden bee in a moment."

You should know that these golden bees are carefully raised with precious aphrodisiacs, and each bee only has one chance to be used. Once used, the golden bee will die on the spot.

"Madam went to great lengths and spared no expense, spending a full ten thousand taels of gold from the capital's most prestigious brothel to finally acquire these five incredibly precious golden bees. The fact that she is using them on you, young lady, demonstrates the high regard and affection Madam holds for you."

Yin Zijin said, "Bees are creatures that sting people, how can they be used on people?"

With a mysterious and slightly sly smile on her face, Granny Zhou said softly, "Miss, don't underestimate this thing. Why can't it be used on people?"

Let me tell you, this can be used as an extremely severe form of punishment! Later, once everything is ready, you'll naturally understand how to use it, young lady.

As for these golden bees, hehe, they will later be used on the most delicate parts of your body, young lady.” After saying this, Granny Zhou glanced deliberately at the jar containing the golden bees, a chilling glint in her eyes…

Meanwhile, in the Yiju Courtyard, a chill permeated the stillness. Aunt Li, dressed in simple, elegant clothes, sat quietly before the exquisitely carved window. The window, like a natural frame, contained the heartbreaking snow scene outside.

The pure white snowflakes drifted down, gently covering the withered chrysanthemums. Those once vibrant and beautiful chrysanthemums, now ravaged by the harsh winter, had lost their former vitality, just like Li's heart, which was gradually growing cold.

Before her sat an antique zither. Li Shi lowered her eyes slightly, her slender fingers gently caressing the strings, playing a plaintive melody. The melodious and poignant music seemed to flow from the depths of her heart, fully expressing the complex emotions she couldn't articulate. Each note carried her hesitation and doubt, revealing the confusion and uncertainty in her heart.

Now that the time had come, Granny Qi stood to the side, watching Li Shi anxiously, her heart growing increasingly impatient. She couldn't help but speak up, "Auntie, today is the last day of that three-day period! Have you decided whether you're going to Sixth Miss's place or not? If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you'll never have another chance to see Sixth Miss again!"

As soon as Granny Qi finished speaking, the originally melodious and soothing zither music suddenly became urgent and unwilling, as if carrying the surging emotions in Li's heart.

When the music ended, Madam Li slowly stopped playing, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam. She gently picked up a handkerchief and softly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then slowly stood up.

Because her feet were bound in tiny bound feet, each step Li took was extremely difficult, but she still walked resolutely toward the bed. When she reached the bedside, Li bent down, stretched out her slender hands, and laboriously pulled out a small, exquisite wooden box from under the bed.

Li carefully opened the box, and in an instant, the contents came into view. At that moment, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her lips trembled as she murmured, "I never imagined this!"

My whole life has been spent pleasing men with these things, and that's how I've passed the years. But now, I have to pass these things on to my own children, and even make them learn how to use them..."

Granny Qi advised, "Don't worry, Aunt! What's wrong with a mother giving these things to her own daughter? Some private matters still need to be taught by the mother."

You know a lot about those things, Aunt. If Sixth Miss learns even 60% of them, it will be difficult for her to fall out of favor. Sixth Miss has no one to rely on, and your status is too low to help her. We must find other ways to help Sixth Miss.

"And Aunt Li, besides teaching Sixth Miss those things, what else can you teach her?"

Aunt Li closed the small box and instructed Granny Qi, "Let's go to Bizhu Pavilion."

The master and servant hurried along the way and soon arrived at Yimei Courtyard.

At this moment, Madam Zhang was leisurely reclining on a low couch, resting with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she heard a servant report that Madam Li had already gone to Bizhu Pavilion. Upon hearing this news, Madam Zhang abruptly opened her eyes, a smug smile instantly spreading across her lips. She turned to Liu Mama, who was serving her beside her, and said with a smile, "Look, look, I told you she would go, didn't I? Well, she still went obediently after all."

Granny Liu smiled and said, "Madam, everything is under your control. But Madam, this old servant is still a little worried. What if Madam Li sees Sixth Miss too often and can't help but tell Sixth Miss about the agreement you made with Madam Li? What should we do then?"

Then all our efforts will be in vain, and Sixth Miss will likely hold a grudge against you. If Madam Li dies, this old servant is also afraid that Sixth Miss will resent you. Actually, this old servant thinks it's best to get along peacefully..."

Madam Zhang glanced at Granny Liu and snorted coldly, "Granny Liu, you're just a coward. If I'm not having an easy time, no one else will either. That applies to Concubine Li, Concubine Liu, and all the other concubines. What? Do you think I'm afraid of them?"
