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

Granny Zhou said to Yin Zijing, who was sitting to the side, "Zijing, you can't be so reckless in the future. You are a girl, and a young lady of the Yin family. You can't act like you've gone mad for a man you've never even met."

Be reserved and gentle; that's how a young lady from a respectable family should behave. If Madam finds out what happened today, who knows how she'll punish you?

Sixth Miss, Seventh Miss, you must remember that a young lady's reputation is of utmost importance. Before you are married, you must not see any men outside the family, and you must not be alone in a room with any men outside the family.

Human hearts are unpredictable. If you fall prey to someone with malicious intent, your lives will be ruined. You'll never be able to enter the mansions of nobles, princes, or the imperial palace. You'll only be able to marry a dissolute, a drunkard, a lecher, or a gambler, and live a lonely and miserable life. Once you've lost your reputation, your family won't protect you either.

Yin Zixiao was only five years old, and she was frightened when she heard what Granny Zhou said. She said in a soft voice, "No, Granny Zhou, I will be careful in the future and will not stay with strange men."

Yin Fengyu quickly said in a wronged tone, "Granny Zhou, Zijing knows she was wrong. Zijing was reckless today. Granny Zhou, please calm down."

Granny Zhou waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright! Just remember today's lesson."

Xiaolan had already bandaged up Granny Zhou's wound. Granny Zhou then lowered her dark skirt, and no trace of blood could be seen.

……

The carriage swayed and rattled until it finally arrived at the location of the new residence. Granny Zhou hurriedly instructed Xiaolan to put on the veils of Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao before letting Xiaolan lead Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao out of the carriage by their little hands.

Afterwards, Yin Jingyi and Granny Zhou also got out of the carriage. Yin Jingyi immediately returned to his father.

Yin Xu asked, "Jing Yi, how is it? I just heard a commotion from the carriage behind us."

Yin Jingyi replied respectfully, "It's nothing, Father. It's just that Zijing and Ziniao were a little excited because it was their first time leaving the manor, so they made a fuss for a while, but they've calmed down now."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang quickly replied, "It's good that you're alright. It's all my fault for not disciplining them properly. Don't worry, Master, I will discipline the Sixth and Seventh Misses properly from now on."

Yin Xu waved his hand and said, "Let it go this time. It's just children's nature. Don't be too restrictive with them. When you go to Fu'an Temple to worship Buddha in the future, take the Sixth and Seventh Misses with you! Let the children see the outside world. Don't keep them cooped up in the courtyard all day long."

Madam Zhang quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I understand..."

At this moment, almost everyone had gathered at the main gate of the new Yin Mansion. Yin Fengyu looked at the building in front of her and was immediately stunned by its magnificent architecture.

Yin Fengyu couldn't help but think, "No wonder it's Princess Xianyang's residence! It's truly magnificent."

Two large, imposing stone lions stood at the entrance, adorned with red silk ribbons. The words "Yin Mansion" were carved in gold on a black plaque. Two large vermilion pillars stood on either side of the entrance, and the vermilion gate with its high threshold appeared prominently before Yin Fengyu.

The high wall, built of blue bricks, was about 10 meters high, and festive red lanterns hung on it. The completely enclosed building made Yin Fengyu feel suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere.

Yin Fengyu felt that this fully enclosed building was like a cage that oppressed women, and that high threshold was an obstacle that women with bound feet could never overcome.

In this era of strict feudal ethics, countless young women were confined within high walls and courtyards, fighting tooth and nail, even losing their lives, according to rules set by men. Yin Zijing's birth mother, Li, as well as Aunt Feng, Aunt Wang, and even Zhang, were all victims of the shackles of feudal ethics.

Perhaps if they left the confines of their mansions and were free from the oppression of feudal ethics, they could also carve out their own niche.
