As the old saying goes, things rise and fall, and extreme joy leads to sorrow. Today, Yinzhen finally experienced the feeling of extreme joy leading to sorrow.

He went to Yuqing Palace today. He was somewhat satisfied with the attitude of the second prince towards him, but he did not expect that when he returned home in a good mood, he learned the news that Gangege had a miscarriage.

What worries him even more is that his Wanwan and Fourth Concubine Ulanara Rou were involved in this, and they were the "culprits" who caused him to lose his child.

"Silang, I didn't mean it. Gangege provoked me first, and Yixiu and the others can all testify to that. I was just fulfilling my duties as a concubine. Who knew Gangege was pregnant, and by chance, she miscarried!"

"That's Silang's child. I never thought of harming him. Silang, you must believe Wanwan."

Yinzhen was surprisingly calm. The matter had already been settled. There was no point getting anxious or angry. "Wanwan, Rouze! I've asked people to find out everything. You really don't have any bad intentions. Gan's punishment was fair. Gan's miscarriage was an unprovoked disaster. This time, it was just a combination of various misfortunes."

Before Rouze could breathe a sigh of relief, Yinzhen continued, "But outsiders won't think so. What they can see is that you don't have the means to control your subordinates. You can't even take care of the affairs of the harem, so how can you take care of the internal affairs of the entire Beile Mansion?"

"If you could have prevented the disaster before it happened and set up rules in advance, ordering the palace doctors to check on the pulses of the women in the backyard every ten days or half a month, would this disaster have happened? Gan was punished for her own fault. She provoked you, the mistress, with her status as a princess, and it was because you had no means to suppress your concubines."

Rouze cried out in grievance: "I am not wrong..."

"Now it's not as simple as who is at fault! Gan was at fault, but she miscarried and lost the child. You were not at fault, but you caused the consequences. Rouze, you have been very hard-working since you became pregnant, and you have been worried about gains and losses all day long. I know all this and I can understand it, but you don't have the energy to handle the affairs of the mansion now. Forcing yourself will only cause greater omissions."

At this point, Yinzhen paused for a moment, looked at the beloved woman he wanted to marry, and finally did not say anything harsh.

"Rouzhe, you are pregnant, your health is the most important thing. I will write to the Ulanala residence and ask your mother to come to the residence in half a month to take care of your health. As for the affairs of the residence, let the concubine handle them first, and we will talk about it after you are out of confinement."

No matter how unwilling Rouze was, she had no choice but to agree to the Fourth Master's request, because she knew that only by giving birth to a legitimate son could all the stupid moves she had made in recent days be written off.

Thinking of her legitimate son who will be born in more than three months, Rouze's heart is full of hope for the future. After she gives birth, she will definitely win Silang's heart back from someone else.

The main courtyard was in a state of chaos, but the Begonia Garden was exceptionally warm. When Yinzhen entered, he saw his concubine and eldest prince playing Go.

Why do the two sides on this chessboard look so evenly matched? Yinzhen became excited.

"Are you two evenly matched?"

Yixiu and Honghui were both shocked. Why did the Fourth Master come to Haitang Garden? No one informed him!

"My concubine greets the Fourth Master." "My son greets my father."

Honghui took the lead and took Ama's hand to let him sit next to E'niang, saying confidently, "Ama, please help E'niang. It takes E'niang half a quarter of an hour to think about a move."

Yixiu's face first turned red, then she glared at Honghui, and finally she complained to the Fourth Master unwillingly, "Master, please help me. Honghui actually relied on his good memory to memorize the chess records. He remembered every game we played. So I can only be more cautious and careful, for fear that he would figure out my chess moves."

Yinzhen laughed happily. He was so happy about the eldest prince's intelligence, but he still had to comfort his woman. "Honghui, did you hear everything? Let your mother have some points when you play chess with her next time."

Honghui bowed in cooperation: "Son will follow your father's orders!"

What could Yixiu do? She could only remain silent to prevent the father and son from making fun of her again.

Recently, the relationship between Honghui and the Fourth Master has been getting better and better, as evidenced by the fact that they always sing in unison and make each other happy with all kinds of small things.

Is Yixiu happy? You can tell from her increasingly gentle eyes.

Seeing that the mother and son were not satisfied playing chess, Yinzhen pulled his concubine aside and started playing Go with Honghui himself.

This time it was Honghui's turn to sweat. His knowledge was no match for Ama. Even if he memorized more chess records, it would be useless because Ama had learned more.

Honghui was concentrating on thinking about what to do next and didn't notice that his father's eyes were full of pride when he looked at his mother, as if saying, wait and see how I avenge you?

Before a quarter of an hour had passed, Honghui had already surrendered. The chessboard was full of black pieces. How could he continue playing?

Seeing the aggrieved look on his son's face, Yinzhen realized that he seemed to have gone a little too far. He actually played chess seriously with his eldest prince who was only three years old. Isn't it embarrassing?

At this moment, he remembered that he came to Haitang Garden today because he had something to tell Yixiu. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere was so warm that he couldn't help but indulge in it.

"Yixiu, Rouze is pregnant and not feeling well. I want you to take care of the household chores temporarily. Are you interested?"

Yixiu didn't want to clean up the mess for her elder sister, not to mention that Gangege had a miscarriage, and she didn't know how much trouble would come next. "Master, managing the household is the responsibility of the wife. I am only a concubine, and I am not qualified to manage the household affairs for you. Besides, didn't the emperor appoint two maids for the wife? With their assistance, the wife should be able to manage the affairs of the household well!"

The key is that Rouze refuses to listen to the nanny and makes her own decisions on matters big and small. However, when she first became pregnant, she seemed to have mentioned that she wanted Yixiu to help with the housekeeping. Why did she suddenly stop doing that?

Yinzhen was thinking about all sorts of things, but his expression remained calm. "Hey, we Manchus already have a precedent of concubines being housekeepers, and you are not the only one. And you were a housekeeper more than three years ago, so you have experience as a housekeeper. Besides, Honghui is still young. If you have power in your hands, the servants in this mansion will not look down on you and your son."

"To be honest, Rouze will give birth to the legitimate son in three months. I will definitely pay more attention to him then. What should Honghui do? You all know the servants in the mansion. There are many who flatter the weak and look down on the powerful. If you have the power of housekeeper, they will be more respectful to you."

Yes! What the Fourth Master said was unpleasant, but it made sense. Did she want the Fourth Master to personally intervene in the disputes in the backyard? Although the power of the housekeeper was a hot potato, he couldn't have no power at all, otherwise he would be at the mercy of others!

Yixiu's face relaxed, but she was still modest, "But the household has always been managed by Fu Jin. If I suddenly get the power of housekeeper, will Fu Jin be unhappy? We sisters have had a little misunderstanding to begin with, and I don't want to turn against my elder sister just because of a little power of housekeeper."

"That's definitely not the case. After all, you are sisters from the same family. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected. Besides, Rouze is not such a stingy person. It was my decision to let you be the housekeeper. She won't vent her anger on you."

Yixiu didn't quite believe what the Fourth Master said. She knew what kind of person her elder sister was, but for Honghui's future, she still took on the power of housekeeper.

Yinzhen waited for Yixiu to nod, and immediately said, "I will have someone send you the account books in the mansion tomorrow, and this matter is settled."

Someone has taken over the housekeeping power, and another difficult matter has been resolved. The next thing to deal with is Gangege.

"Okay, I still have to go check on Gan. I heard that she was sent back to Magnolia Garden while she was still unconscious, and she hasn't woken up yet!"

"Sister Gan is also pitiful. She lost a good child just like that. Please comfort her and console her for the pain of losing her child."

Yinzhen also found it tricky. No matter how he handled the matter, it didn't feel right. He decided to go and see the person first.

"You all go inside, don't come out, the ground outside is still wet, I'm leaving first."

Before leaving, he held his eldest prince in his arms to comfort himself for the pain of losing his son.

Someone in the backyard finally got pregnant, but it just disappeared without anyone noticing. However, he couldn't show any sadness, otherwise Rouze and Gangege would have a blood feud!

The brilliant rainbow after the rain took away his momentary weakness. He was never a heartless monster!
