Looking at the Yin mansion before her, Yin Fengyu was suddenly filled with fear. She seemed to see countless restless, resentful souls behind the gates, clamoring to break free of the cage that bound them. Yin Fengyu also feared that she wouldn't be able to defy the cruel feudal ethics and would ultimately die within this deep, secluded mansion…

Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers woke Yin Fengyu from her daze. Yin Zijin, standing nearby, excitedly exclaimed, "Zijin, look! Firecrackers! Is this where we live? It's so grand!"

Yin Fengyu wasn't particularly interested, but she was still caught up in the noise around her and Yin Zijin's extreme excitement. Yin Zijin exclaimed happily, "Yes! I wonder where we'll be staying in our new home?"

Yin Zixiao said dejectedly, "I must be living with my mother now. Actually, I don't want to live with my mother. She always controls us, and we can't even have fun properly."

Aunt Li, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to quietly move to Yin Fengyu's side with the crowd and stare at her intently.

Then she quietly slipped a handkerchief into Yin Fengyu's hand. Yin Fengyu glanced at Aunt Li, but didn't say anything, and discreetly put it away.

Seeing that Aunt Li was constantly moving closer to Yin Zijing, Granny Zhou pinched Aunt Li hard and glared at her fiercely, as if warning her. Aunt Li quickly walked to the other side.

After a long string of firecrackers had finished, the butler shouted, "Open..."

The vermilion gate slowly opened, and ten maids and ten servants, dressed in festive attire, poured out. The maids and servants stood in neat rows and said in unison, "Congratulations to Master and Madam on moving to their new home."

Yin Xu led his legitimate son and wife inside first, followed by his concubines, children, maids, servants, and other family members. Everyone looked on with curiosity at the place where they would be living from now on.

Granny Zhou and Xiaolan led Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao toward their new home.

Looking around, Yin Zijing saw a blue stone avenue running through the entire Yin residence. The avenue was so wide and long that Yin Zijing couldn't see the end of it.

Granny Zhou led Yin Zijin and Yin Zinu along the bluestone avenue. After walking for a while, three residences came into view in front of Yin Fengyu.

Granny Zhou explained, "The names of the residences here are the same as the old house. The master didn't want to change them because he found it troublesome. These three houses in front are the front yard, where the master and the young masters live, and where the master works and discusses matters with others."

From now on, you are not allowed to come to the front yard; you can only stay in the back courtyard.

After saying that, Granny Zhou led the two of them for half an hour, and a wall about 10 meters high appeared in front of Yin Fengyu.

The high walls separated the outer and inner courtyards, leaving only a vermilion gate as wide as the bluestone avenue. The gate was now open, and people were coming and going, all busy with their own affairs.

Yin Fengyu thought that as long as the vermilion gate was closed, no woman could leave this deep courtyard; the high walls were simply too high. No one could climb over them.

As Zhou Mama walked, she explained, "Sixth Miss, Seventh Miss, this gate is the boundary between the inner and outer quarters, and it's usually guarded. Don't come here unless it's absolutely necessary."

Yin Fengyu felt sad, but she still nodded obediently: "Yes, Granny Zhou. We remember, we won't come here again unless it's absolutely necessary." Yin Ziyao echoed her words.
