Auntie Qiao quickly lowered her head and respectfully said, "Of course you wouldn't. You've never cared about what other people thought, Madam."

Auntie Qiao had a thorough understanding of Yin Yuerong's personality. Changing her opinion of a person was harder than ascending to the heavens.

That was the case for Si Huaizhang, that was the case for Eldest Young Master, and that was the case for Worriless Nie without exception…

No matter what Si Huaizhang did, Madam was unwilling to change her feelings toward him and unwilling to give up. Madam's severeness and misplaced anger toward Eldest Young Master also never changed. When it came to Worriless Nie, she had caused Eldest Young Master to completely escape Madam's control, so it was nearly impossible to make Madam accept her.

Auntie Qiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Worriless Nie's evaluation of Madam was fairly accurate. Madam was fine otherwise, but her personality was seriously…

Yin Yuerong glanced at the child before standing up as she pinched her brows. "I won't return to the ancestral estate today and will work here. As for this child, make arrangements for him, Auntie Qiao."

After learning about matters going south in Tianshui City, she rushed back overnight. Then after what happened to Qin Zong, she had a giant mess to deal with and didn't have a moment's rest.

After Qin Zong's fall from power, the Vice President faction was leaderless and descended into chaos, and an endless stream of people visited her.

"Alright, Madam. Um… Where will Little Young Master stay?" Auntie Qiao furtively inquired.

Ah-Zhong quickly interjected at that moment. "How about you leave this child's arrangements to me, Madam?"

Perhaps sensing that Yin Yuerong didn't seem to like him calling that child "little b*stard," Ah-Zhong shrewdly changed his term of address.

No matter what, this child was Yin Yuerong's grandson, so while she herself could insult him like that, she might not be able to tolerate other people insulting him in that way.

Yin Yuerong was about to agree without a thought but inexplicably changed her mind upon meeting that child's clear eyes. "Auntie Qiao, clean out the room next to mine."

Joy filled Auntie Qiao's face. "Yes, I will do so now!"

Ah-Zhong was startled. "How… how could that do… what right does this little… this child have…"

Auntie Qiao glanced at Ah-Zhong with displeasure. "This is the Yin family's little young master; this is Madam's grandson. What problem is there with him being next to Madam?"

Regarding Auntie Qiao's comment, Yin Yuerong furrowed her brows but didn't end up admonis.h.i.+ng the woman in the end, perhaps not having the energy to care out of exhaustion.

When Ah-Zhong saw that Yin Yuerong didn't say anything, he knew that whatever he said would be useless, so he could only reluctantly say, "There's… there's no problem… Placing him next to Madam to watch him carefully couldn't be any more appropriate!"

…

In the study:

Yin Yuerong drank an especially strong cup of coffee and was taking care of her business affairs when Ah-Zhong knocked and entered.

"Madam…"

"Speak." Yin Yuerong didn't even look up.

Ah-Zhong did as Yin Heng instructed last night and mournfully cried, "Madam, I snuck into the Si residence to visit Young Master Yin Heng last night and Eldest Young Master was truly too vicious! Young Master Yin Heng was covered in injuries but was left untreated! Eldest Young Master even tortured him!"

"Young Master Yin Heng is very weak right now. Madam, you must hurry and think of a method to rescue Young Master Yin Heng. Otherwise, if this continues, Young Master won't be able to endure it!"

Yin Yuerong set down the fountain pen in her hand and coldly glanced at Ah-Zhong. "It appears you didn't understand my orders yesterday? Do you think his fate would be any better if he were here with me?"
