Granny Zhou continued with a grave expression, "Miss, you have truly committed a terrible crime this time! Madam has already declared that after the Lantern Festival, she will use family discipline to punish you, so that you will learn your lesson. Madam still holds a grudge about what happened at the Imperial Clan Court. You really stirred up a huge mess back then!"

In addition, the lady specifically ordered that from this day forward, you, young lady, must not step out of your boudoir again, and even the daily custom of paying respects to your elders is waived.

You only need to stay in your boudoir, diligently study etiquette and manners, practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting, carefully study flower arranging and tea tasting, and practice music and dance skills to prepare well for the talent show.

In April, our whole family will return to Jiangnan. That's where the true foundation of our Yin family lies!

Although our family has been living in Kyoto for the past ten years or so, we must never forget where our roots are! After all, once our daughter gets married, she will never have the chance to return to our hometown in Jiangnan.

Young lady, please remember this: for the next few months, do not entertain any thoughts of going out. Stay obediently in your chambers.

Yin Zijin listened quietly to Granny Zhou's words, his gaze slowly falling on the seemingly small room before him, which was filled with endless luxury and decadence. The magnificent decorations, exquisite carved furniture, and intricate silk curtains seemed to be telling him about the vanity and extravagance of this room.

However, at this moment, Yin Zijing had only one thought in her mind—this place was nothing more than a cage built with money and power! A cage that imprisoned her, depriving her of her freedom.

Before Yin Zijing could speak, a sudden, indescribable discomfort washed over him like a tidal wave. He felt as if his body was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and every inch of his skin was stinging.

Yin Zijing frowned in pain, her hands involuntarily reaching out to Zhou Mama beside her, tightly grasping her sleeves, her voice trembling as she said, "Zhou Mama... it's no use... I feel the golden bee venom starting to take effect again..."

Granny Zhou cried out anxiously, "Ah Tian! Hurry! Quickly carry the girl to the bed!" Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry.

Upon hearing Granny Zhou's call, A-Tian dared not delay and hurriedly walked over. With a nimble movement, he sidestepped and steadily lifted Yin Zijing into his arms, then carefully carried him to the inner room and gently placed him on the bed.

Immediately afterwards, A-Tian quickly turned around and walked to the cabinet next to the canopy bed. He skillfully opened the cabinet door and took out the various tools he would need. These tools were neatly arranged, clearly showing that A-Tian had taken good care of them on a regular basis.

After everything was ready, A-Tian took a deep breath and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. He first looked at Yin Zijing tenderly, then whispered to comfort her, "Miss, please bear with it a little longer, you'll get better soon." After saying that, he began to operate the tools.

At this moment, Yin Zijing was in a state of extreme discomfort; this was the most humiliating and humiliating moment of his life. Although the spiritual spring had helped him feel slightly better earlier, he still felt the effects whenever the peak of the toxins hit each day.

He could still only rely on Ah Tian to help alleviate her symptoms. Because the venom released by the golden bees was exceptionally potent and potent, how could such a poison originating from brothels be so easily and completely eliminated?

At this moment, Yin Zijing's consciousness was already somewhat blurred, and his clothes were gradually falling off as Ah Tian performed the treatment...

Her originally delicate and fair skin was now exposed to the air without reservation, with a slight blush.

His beautiful eyes were now unfocused and lifeless, staring blankly at the ceiling above the bed. His only thought was to fall asleep as soon as possible and enter the spiritual spring to relieve his physical pain.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As night slowly fell, the sky was illuminated by dazzling fireworks, which bloomed like brilliant flowers in the air, a breathtaking sight. The entire Yin residence was immersed in a lively and festive atmosphere.

Inside the Yimei Courtyard, two large tables were neatly arranged, and the masters of each household sat around them, their laughter and chatter filling the air. Everyone was enjoying the sweet and delicious glutinous rice balls, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Yin Xu smiled, glancing around but not seeing Yin Zijing. A sense of worry welled up inside him, so he asked, "Why isn't Zijing here?"

Upon hearing Yin Xu's question, Madam Zhang, who was sitting to the side, quickly got up, picked up a spoon, and ladled a few more glutinous rice balls into Yin Xu's bowl. Then she replied softly, "Master, you don't know this, but our sixth young lady has always been rather frail. She spent seven whole days drinking wine in front of the Imperial Clan Court, suffering quite a bit, and unfortunately caught a cold, which has left her with a lingering illness. She's currently recuperating in her room!"

Although Yin Xu was Yin Zijing's biological father, there was a difference between men and women, and a young lady's boudoir was not something one could enter casually. Therefore, he could only learn about Yin Zijing's current situation through Zhang's description.

Upon hearing this, Yin Xu's worried expression deepened. He quickly instructed the servant beside him, "Quickly send a serving of Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls) to the Sixth Miss..."

………………

In the elegant and serene pavilion, Yin Zijin stood quietly by the railing outside. He was dressed in an incomparably gorgeous dress, and as the cold wind blew, the hem of his skirt fluttered like a dancing butterfly.

At this moment, a dazzling and beautiful display of fireworks is taking place outside, illuminating the entire night sky with their brilliant light.

However, such beautiful scenery could not dispel the deep sense of loneliness in Yin Zijin's heart. Although his face was still beautiful and charming, his eyes revealed a trace of desolation and melancholy.

Yin Zijin unfortunately caught a cold, but after being treated by Lingquan, she has now fully recovered.

As for what Zhang said, it was nothing more than an excuse and a pretext. She simply wanted to keep Yin Zijin from leaving her boudoir.

Granny Zhou draped a thick cloak over Yin Zijin and said quickly, "Miss, it's windy outside, let's go back inside! The kitchen sent over some Yuanxiao a while ago, they'll get cold if we don't eat them soon."
