The icy gaze sent a shiver down Ah-Zhong’s back. He gulped and said, “Madam, I know Young Master Yin Heng committed a grievous crime this time, but his motives were to better the future of the Yin family. After all, he’s the future head of the Yin family…”

“You should know Eldest Young Master’s personality. He’s been bewitched by that vixen and most likely won’t return, so the Yin family’s future will have to depend on Young Master Yin Heng…”

Yin Yuerong’s expression darkened abruptly. “Are you threatening me?”

“I… I wouldn’t dare! Why would I, Madam?! I’m merely thinking on behalf of Madam and the Yin family!”

“Scram!”

“Yes… y-yes…”

…

In the Si residence secret dungeon:

Ah-Zhong snuck inside again.

As soon as Yin Heng saw Ah-Zhong, he asked anxiously, “How were things? Did Mother say when she’ll rescue me?”

Ah-Zhong was afraid Yin Heng would be aggravated, so he tried his best to be tactful. “Madam… Madam is currently having a row with Eldest Young Master… So there’s no way she’d relent so quickly… We can only inconvenience Young Master in suffering for several more days…”

“What? I have to wait several more days?” Yin Heng’s expression darkened instantly and he finally sensed something was amiss. “Ah-Zhong, tell me the truth! Just what did Mother say? I want to hear her exact words!”

Ah-Zhong looked troubled. “Young Master Yin Heng, it’d be better if you didn’t know…”

Yin Heng tightly clutched the metal bars. “Of course I have to know! Speak quickly!”

Ah-Zhong had no choice but to speak the truth. “Madam said… even if you were at the Yin Estate right now, your fate wouldn’t be any better. And she also said… said… you were a piece of trash… and weren’t worth her expending her energy…”

When Yin Heng heard this, he was incredulous. “Impossible! How could that be possible?! Yin Yuerong only has me left! She dares to not save me?!”

“Yes yes yes, I agree, Young Master, so Madam probably only said that in anger! You mustn’t get aggravated! Madam is just in a bad mood because she’s utterly exhausted from overworking lately!” Ah-Zhong said.

Yin Heng tried his best to calm down. “How’s the situation on the outside right now?”

Ah-Zhong responded: “Now that Vice President Qin has fallen from power, people are visiting Madam all the time, and Madam’s been frequently coming into contact with those people. I feel like… Madam probably wants to replace him and take up the position of vice president!”

Yin Heng’s eyes brightened. “With Mother’s abilities and connections, she would be the strongest contender for the position of vice president indeed!”

If Yin Yuerong became the vice president, he could borrow Yin Yuerong’s power to make a comeback!

Yin Heng’s expression was dark. “Now that Mother has forcefully seized that little b*stard, she has completely fallen out with Si Yehan, so both sides will definitely suffer in the end! At that point, Mother will definitely invite me back!”

Ah-Zhong nodded vehemently. “You’re right, Eldest Young Master!”

…

At Wanmei Villa:

Yin Yuerong had been working from morning to evening and didn’t permit the servants to disturb her for lunch.

In the end, it was Auntie Qiao who gathered her courage to knock on the door and call her out for dinner.

Yin Yuerong walked to the dining table as usual but started upon approach.

What was different from before was that there was also a fair and adorable child sitting next to the giant table today.

The chair was a bit high, so the little fella’s legs swung back and forth in the air as he sat there. When he saw her, he immediately waved his hand happily. “Grandmother!”

Only then did Yin Yuerong recall that there was another person in the villa.

Auntie Qiao observed Yin Yuerong’s attitude before tentatively saying, “There aren’t many servants here and we couldn’t arrange to make a separate meal, so I allowed Little Young Master to dine with you. It’s just an extra pair of chopsticks.”
