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

Inside Anle Residence, although the banquet was not until the afternoon, it was already bustling with activity. In order to make her mother-in-law Liu comfortable, Zhang arranged for Liu to stay in Anle Residence, the largest, most spacious, most magnificent, and best-equipped residence in the Yin family mansion, and also arranged for many maids and servants to serve her.

Zhang decided to hold the afternoon banquet at Anle Residence. Firstly, Liu was old and not suitable for traveling back and forth. Secondly, Anle Residence had a beautiful environment. In front of Anle Residence was an artificial lake, and around it was a beautiful garden with a pavilion, which was very suitable for the women of the inner quarters to chat and gather.

All the women from Jiangnan settled in Anle Residence to take good care of Lady Liu. At this moment, Anle Residence was bustling with activity. The women and children from the three major families gathered together, arranging flowers, drinking tea, doing needlework, chatting, and enjoying the music. It was truly a lively scene.

Seeing such a lively scene, Aunt Feng's expression changed. She walked into the main room with her two carefully dressed girls, and everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to her.

Aunt Feng hurriedly led her two daughters to kneel down and kowtow. Madam Feng respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings to Mother."

Kneeling behind Madam Feng, Yin Zifeng and Yin Ziyao also bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Grandmother."

Liu leaned against the low couch, rubbed her forehead, and said in a good mood, "Get up!"

Madam Feng quickly stood up with her two daughters. When Yin Zifeng saw that Madam Liu was rubbing her forehead, she quickly stepped forward and said gently, as if she understood her grandmother, "Grandmother, I know that you have suffered from headaches for many years and nothing has been able to cure it. I know that you have had a hard time, so I specially learned this massage technique. I will massage you and it may help you a lot."

Liu nodded and closed her eyes. Yin Zifeng walked over, took off the exquisite nail guards on her hands, and placed them on the red lacquer tray held by the maid.

Then, the fair and smooth jade pendant was placed on her and gently massaged her. After a while, Madam Liu felt more relaxed, and her headache was not too bad. Madam Liu opened her eyes with a smile and said, "Feng'er, your skills are really good. Come to Anleju often in the future and give your grandmother a massage."

Yin Zifeng smiled, quickly clenched her fists, placed her right fist on top of her left fist, put them on her abdomen, bent her knees and squatted down, performing a standard curtsy, and said: "Yes, Grandmother. Feng'er should come to Anle Residence more often in the future. I hope Grandmother won't find Feng'er troublesome."

Madam Liu smiled and took Yin Zifeng's hand, saying, "How could that be? Feng'er is so thoughtful. Grandmother likes her more than enough! How could she possibly get tired of her?"

The surrounding noblewomen nodded in approval upon seeing the dignified and elegant Yin Zifeng. This banquet was not only a formal event but also a suitable matchmaking event. The noblewomen from the three major families had gathered at Anle Residence. Seeing Yin Zifeng's impressive performance, the noblewomen had a better idea of ​​what to do with her, and they were thinking about whether to find a concubine for their legitimate son or arrange a marriage for their illegitimate son...

Looking over, Madam Liu saw Aunt Feng shoving Yin Ziyao. Madam Liu's smile vanished instantly, and she said indifferently, "Aunt Feng, since the eldest mistress is not here, and you are also Xu'er's concubine, I am a little tired. Please take care of the concubines in the room. Please entertain them well, after all, they are guests who have come from afar."

Aunt Feng instantly understood what Madam Liu meant. She forcefully pried Yin Ziyao's hand off her and instructed, "Yao'er, go to your grandmother's place. Aunt Feng has to go."

After saying that, he walked away with a smile without looking back, chatting and laughing with the ladies.

"Aunt Feng, your daughter is so virtuous! I wonder if she is betrothed yet..."

"Aunt Feng, your daughter is so filial, generous, and dignified..."

Aunt Feng was overjoyed to hear the praise from those around her, but she still responded to each person with grace and poise.

Yin Zifeng glanced at Yin Ziyao, who was still somewhat frightened, and quickly pulled her gently over to stand next to Liu Shi. Yin Zifeng continued to massage Liu Shi's head.

Aunt Wang, who was also sickly, accompanied Madam Liu. Madam Liu knew what Aunt Wang was thinking, so she said, "Madam Wang, you have really suffered these years. After today, you should go and see him! It will satisfy your longing for your son."

Wang became instantly excited and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mother."

Madam Liu nodded and said, "Remember to discuss it before you go..."

Just then, Aunt Li entered with her two personal maids. Aunt Li came from a brothel and, after years of training there, possessed a cool and aloof demeanor with a subtle allure. As always, she kept two strands of hair, moved with light steps, and her bound feet also exuded charm.

People around looked over, and some of the wealthy women whispered among themselves: "Hey! Isn't that the prostitute? Now she's been elevated to the status of a concubine."

A person nearby whispered in agreement, "Even if she's made a concubine, it's useless. She comes from a brothel; she's just a lowly concubine! Only slightly higher than a maid. Our four great families only practice intermarriage; we won't even marry daughters from commoner families. Even our maids are all innocent and have served us for many years. This prostitute must have used up all her good fortune from eight lifetimes to gain Master Yin's favor."

"Yes! Yes! Look how well she's doing! Her clothes and nail guards are so exquisite and luxurious! Look how alluring she is, so different from us! No wonder men like her..."

Liu, who was standing nearby, heard the whispers and subtly gave the old nanny a look. After Li finished her greetings, the old nanny said, "Aunt Li, please come with me. The matriarch has something to give you."

Li nodded obediently and followed the old nanny out into a secluded courtyard. Two young, strong nannies beside the old nanny quickly forced Li into the house. As soon as they entered, the old nanny slapped Li hard across the face. The two young nannies stripped Li naked, leaving her with nothing, tied her face down to a bench, and gagged her with a handkerchief.

After she was tied up, a young nanny picked up a whip from the side and lashed out at Aunt Li's back.

Aunt Li felt an overwhelming sense of shame and indignation, but compared to her experience in the brothel, it was much better. Aunt Li looked at the old nanny sitting in front of her with a pained expression, her eyes filled with pleading and fear.

The old nanny showed no mercy to Aunt Li, and began to curse: "You whore from a brothel, you slut! Don't you know what day it is today? You dare to come to Anleju today? You've heard what people are saying, haven't you? You've completely disgraced the Yin family."

"Your body is indeed fine! No wonder the master likes you! From now on, come to Anleju every day for instruction, and we'll help you get rid of that foxy air. Also, don't go to crowded places anymore; it's embarrassing..."

Meanwhile, inside Anle Residence, before Li Shi had gone far, a maid rushed over, looking very anxious. Looking at the people in the room, the maid didn't dare to shout loudly, and slowed her pace as she walked towards Liu Shi.
