Chapter 663, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the palaces and courtyards of the Forbidden City, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
However, a shocking piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the capital: Ma'ertai Ruoxi had been seriously injured by the Fourth Prince!
Oh, it should be said that Ma'ertai Ruoxi was severely injured by orders from the Fourth Prince!
Although His Majesty the Emperor was heavily guarded and it was difficult to place spies around him, various forces still managed to plant some spies in other places.
These spies are like hunting dogs with a keen sense of smell, always able to catch the slightest movement and report the situation to their masters in a timely manner.
Before long, the whole story about Ruoxi being beaten came to light.
It turns out that Ruoxi was so ignorant and arrogant that she dared to curse someone's son in front of his own father.
You must understand, the Qing Dynasty valued offspring highly; this behavior was practically jumping on a minefield! Everyone shook their heads and sighed, unanimously saying, "Serves him right!"
At the same time, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out in the courtyard where Lin Jiu lived. "Hahahaha, that's great! Fourth Brother finally did something right this time, he really vented my anger!"
Yinzhen stood in the courtyard, feeling exceptionally pleased. He seemed quite satisfied with the result, a smug smile spreading across his face.
He had long disliked Ma'ertai Ruoxi. Last time, when she offended the Fujin, he had her beaten with ten strokes of the cane. Yin Tang was unwilling to accept this, but he didn't expect that not long after, the fourth prince would also take action.
Haha, don't think he didn't know that the fourth prince and Ruoxi were exchanging glances before. Who would have thought, tsk tsk tsk...
Seeing this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.
As she gently rubbed her temples, she thought this person was really enjoying the drama and said irritably, "Alright, alright, how long are you going to keep laughing? Have you finished what I told you? Is there any new progress in the research on the cement road? Has the glass mirror been successfully manufactured yet?"
The three deadly questions immediately silenced Yinzhen's laughter.
Lin Jiu couldn't figure out whether to praise Yin Tang for being good at being lazy or to commend him for being too clever.
She gave Yinzhen the formulas for cement and glass, so that he and Dong E's family could study and work on them together.
At first, this guy was unusually excited and enthusiastic, happily accepting this important task;
However, his good fortune didn't last long. As time went by, his enthusiasm gradually faded, and in the blink of an eye, he dumped all his affairs on his eldest brother, Dong'e Luoshuo, and his second brother, Dong'e Linji, while he stayed at home leisurely.
In fact, Yinzhen knew perfectly well that he would never easily reveal the real reason for his change of mind and replacement of the person in charge. After all, he had been working hard all day long, making himself disheveled and miserable, and even his own wife had lost interest in him.
You see, he knew very well that what attracted Ajiu the most about him was his face. What if his appearance became rough and ugly, and Ajiu fell in love with someone else?
Thinking of this, Yinzhen coughed softly twice, his gaze flickering, not daring to look Lin Jiu in the eye: "Well... as for the cement, we've already tried paving a section of road in the manor, and the results are quite remarkable! As for the glass, Luo Shuo and Lin Ji are working hard to overcome the problem of making glass mirrors, and I believe they will be able to complete it soon! Hehe, the first mirror that is made, Ajiu, I've specially saved it for you!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already eagerly brought his cheek close to Lin Jiu's, his face full of smiles, looking every bit the ingratiating and obsequious man.
At this moment, his innate beauty shone even brighter under the brilliant sunlight, like a dazzling pearl radiating endless light.
This honey trap resulted in...
It really worked. Lin Jiu raised her hand and stroked Yin Tang's cheek. The smoother texture compared to before made her love it.
Yin Tang was secretly pleased. Physician Li's moisturizing cream was quite good. He would ask him to research more beauty products next time.
Li, the imperial physician, who was far away in the Imperial Hospital, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and thought to himself, "...Who is talking about me?"
