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

The incident on the street had already given Granny Zhou a huge headache. Upon hearing Yin Zixiao's excessive demands, Granny Zhou's face darkened, and she said sternly, "Seventh Miss, let's go back! I haven't even settled accounts with you for what happened earlier! What are you trying to do now?"

Besides, both the inner and outer courtyards are in chaos right now, with people coming and going; it's not safe. Let's go back! You can come out to play again after things are tidied up. Madam is still waiting for you! Don't keep Madam waiting.

Also, aren't you hungry after all this time? After you pay your respects to your mother, you may have your meal."

Upon hearing this, Yin Zijin quickly said, "Hungry! I'm hungry, aren't you hungry, Niao Niao?"

This is not Yin Zijing's fault. Yin Zijing was born a boy, and at the age of 5, he was growing rapidly. However, Zhou Mama was afraid that Yin Zijing would give himself away, so she would interrupt him and stop him from eating before he had eaten much.

Moreover, people in ancient times only ate two meals a day. Although Granny Zhou felt sorry for Yin Zijin and would bring her some snacks and fruits at noon, Yin Zijin was still hungry!

Therefore, Yin Zijing was thinner and weaker than the average 5-year-old boy, possessing a more delicate and frail appearance, somewhat like a willow swaying in the breeze.

Realizing she was in the wrong, Yin Ziyao said dejectedly, "Alright! Let's go back!"

Beyond the vermilion gate and high threshold of Yimei Courtyard, not far away, a blue brick screen wall came into view, engraved with exquisite landscape, flower and bird paintings. The blue brick screen wall blocked Yin Zijin's view, making her want to go in and take a look.

Passing by the blue-brick screen wall, the scene inside suddenly opens up, majestic and grand. Blue-brick paths, golden bricks and red tiles, carved beams and painted rafters—in front of the main house is a small lotus pond, now in full bloom during summer. Beyond the lotus pond, the entrance to the main house comes into view. East and west wing rooms flank the main house, connected by a corridor. Flowers and plants adorn the corridor, adding a touch of charm.

At this moment, servants were coming and going in the Yimei Courtyard, creating a lively scene.

Yin Zijing walked to the entrance of the main room, took off her veil and handed it to Xiaolan. Yin Ziniang also handed her veil to Xiaolan. Then they went into the main room.

The main house was large. Upon entering, one was immediately in the living room, where a carpet covered the floor. Against the wall directly opposite were exquisite tables and chairs, intended for Zhang Shi and Yin Xu. Below them, on either side, were more tables and chairs, presumably for the concubines to sit when paying their respects. The walls of the living room were adorned with valuable calligraphy and paintings, and near the entrance were some green plants and flowers.

To the left of the living room was Zhang's bedroom, and to the right was a small kitchen and the family's dining area.

At this moment, Yin Zijing and her entourage entered through a small door on the side and arrived in front of Madam Zhang. Yin Xu, Yin Jingyi, the second daughter Yin Ziyue, and the fourth son Yin Jingan were all present.

As soon as Yin Zijin entered, she heard Zhang Shi instructing Liu Mama beside her: "Liu Mama, go and check on the main kitchen. Also, have the servants inform each room that everyone should eat their own meals in their own rooms this morning. Don't come to Yimei Courtyard. Just stay in your own rooms and tidy up your things."

When Zhang saw Yin Zixiao arrive, she quickly smiled and said, "Zixiao, Zijing, you're here! How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao quickly performed a curtsy and said, "Greetings to Father and Mother, and to Elder Brother and Elder Sister."

Yin Jing'an returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute: "Greetings, both of you sisters."

Upon hearing Zhang's words, Granny Zhou quickly explained, "Madam, the two young ladies are very excited to be in their new home and are looking around, which is why they have taken up some time."

Zhang held Yin Zixiao, who had just finished the ceremony, and gently pinched her cheek, asking affectionately, "Niaoxiao, were you naughty again, which is why you were delayed?"
