Seeing Zhou Mama hesitate, Zhang Shi gave her a sharp look and said helplessly, "Zhou Mama, tell me! What exactly happened? I don't believe a word you said. Your leg seems to be a little lame..."

Upon hearing Zhang's words, Granny Zhou quickly dismissed the surrounding servants and lowered her voice before recounting what had happened on the road: "Madam, when the carriage was halfway there today, Sixth Miss saw a man who looked like the Fourth Prince. Sixth Miss suddenly went mad, saying that the Fourth Prince was an old friend of hers and that she absolutely had to see him."

The old servant tried to stop her, and was even pricked in the leg with a hairpin by the Sixth Miss; it still hurts to this day. And all of this stemmed from the Seventh Miss wanting to lift the carriage curtain and see the outside world.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang immediately perked up and hurriedly asked, "How does Sixth Miss know the Fourth Prince? Sixth Miss has never even stepped outside the gates of the Yin residence since birth, how could she know the Fourth Prince?"

Granny Zhou replied, equally bewildered, "This? This old servant doesn't know either! This matter is truly strange. But Madam, there's something we need to be careful about. This old servant has sensed that Sixth Miss already knows she's different from the other girls. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so strangely in the carriage."

Madam Zhang's face was gloomy as she said seriously, "You heard what Master said just now, Granny Zhou. Master still values ​​Sixth Miss very much. In the future, Sixth Miss will marry into the royal family and the Crown Prince. Our plan needs to be brought forward. You mentioned the cooling medicine before. Can we try burning it with incense? When Sixth Miss is sleeping, put the cooling medicine powder in the incense burner, so that no one will know."

The cooling medicinal powder will be burned daily, and in just two or three years, it will change Sixth Sister's constitution, making her appearance indistinguishable from a girl's. Sixth Sister is only five years old now and cannot resist, so we can carry out our plan.

Then, Zhang took out a small porcelain bottle of mugwort juice from the cabinet and placed it in Zhou Mama's hand, instructing her, "Zhou Mama, this is mugwort juice. Our ancestors obtained it from a divine physician. This juice is colorless and tasteless, like water. Please put this mugwort juice into Sixth Miss's meals and have her eat it."

The juice of this artemisia can alter Sixth Sister's constitution, enabling her to bear children like a woman, and once ingested, it will prevent pregnancy. Let him drink it at noon today, lest something unexpected happen.

Zhou Mama cautiously replied, "Yes, Madam."

Madam Zhang nodded and then instructed, "Granny Zhou, the Sixth Miss's health will be very poor for the first three months after drinking this Artemisia argyi juice. You must take good care of her. After three months, the Sixth Miss's body will also become weaker, unable to withstand the wind, and will become sensitive to cold. You must take good care of her and make sure she doesn't die young. The Sixth Miss is still useful to our Yin family."

And Zhou Mama, have you heard the rumor that the current Crown Prince is bisexual and even prefers male lovers? This is supposedly the reason His Majesty is gradually growing tired of him.

We will present the Sixth Miss to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Sixth Miss is extremely beautiful, just like his vixen mother. Moreover, we have used drugs to transform her into something neither male nor female, and she can even have children. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely like such a beauty.

In this way, our secret is covered up, His Highness the Crown Prince is satisfied, the Sixth Miss is sent away, I get my revenge, and I vent my anger. It's a win-win-win situation, isn't it wonderful? Let Li keep pestering the Master, but the Sixth Miss will pay the price for her actions. I will make Li live in pain forever.

Sometimes living in pain is worse than dying. I just sat and watched Li Shi and the Sixth Miss suffer. Their suffering made me happy.

After saying that, Zhang chuckled softly, but her gaze was terrifying.

Looking at Madam Zhang in front of her, Granny Zhou shuddered and thought to herself, "Kind on the outside, but a venomous snake on the inside, this is the real Madam."

Granny Zhou paused for a moment, then said firmly, "Yes, Madam, this old servant will certainly do it well."

Looking into Granny Zhou's eyes, Madam Zhang said firmly, "Granny Zhou, this concerns not only the reputation of the Yin family, but also the reputation of the imperial family. Our lives are intertwined, so we can only succeed and not fail."

"Do not be soft-hearted towards the Sixth Miss. She must continue receiving the cooling medicine and mugwort juice. In two months, the palace matrons will arrive at the Yin residence, and then the Sixth Miss and the Seventh Miss will have their feet bound together."

Granny Zhou replied, "Yes, Madam, I have remembered your instructions. This matter involves too many things, but this old servant will definitely handle it properly."

"But Madam, the Sixth Miss will need to burn cooling medicine, drink mugwort tea, and have her feet bound for three months. I wonder if her body can withstand it?"

Madam Zhang snorted coldly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Granny Zhou, the Sixth Miss won't die. She's just feeling unwell and weak. Nothing serious has happened, she just needs to take good care of herself."

"Granny Zhou, just to be on the safe side, starting tomorrow, keep the small red door next to the main house locked for the next three months. Sixth and Seventh Misses should stay in their chambers and not go out. Just have someone deliver their daily necessities in there; they don't need to pay their respects to me anymore. Also, have Second Miss move out and stay in the east wing for now. After three months, when everything has settled down, you can release them."

Granny Zhou pondered, "Madam, what excuse should we use? What if people ask questions if we do this?"

Zhang said, "Granny Zhou, isn't this easy to handle? Just tell the truth to the Sixth and Seventh Misses. The Sixth Miss has been behaving improperly. I don't know when she started having an affair with the Fourth Prince. She has disregarded the etiquette and rules of a young lady and broken the law. She is to be confined to her room for three months to reflect on her mistakes."

The Seventh Sister's behavior was bold and unconventional, violating etiquette. Since it all started with the Seventh Sister, she is punished by being confined to her room for three months to reflect on her mistakes.

As for the other concubines, I told them that in a little over a month, the feet of the sixth and seventh young ladies would be bound, so they should stay in their boudoirs to calm down and wait for the palace matrons to come.

As for the master, I will tell him the truth. If he knew that the sixth daughter had connections with the fourth prince, he would be more than happy to see me do this! You see, among the four princes, the fourth prince has the least chance of winning the throne, and the master will never allow any of the Yin family's daughters to marry him.”

Upon hearing Zhang's words, Granny Zhou quickly replied, "Madam, that's brilliant! Your idea not only saves Sixth and Seventh Miss from criticism but also allows us to successfully implement our plan. This old servant admires you."

Zhang didn't want to hear Zhou's flattery, so she waved her hand and said, "Go, Zhou. Get things done."

Granny Zhou performed a curtsy and said, "Yes, Madam."
