Chapter 634, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

"Ajiu, the tenth brother's birthday celebration will be held at the eighth brother's residence this time." Yinzhen finally remembered Yinzhen's matter, but spoke hesitantly.

Hearing this, Lin Jiu impatiently moved her hand, then leaned lazily against Yin Tang and replied in a nonchalant tone, "Fine, let's do it. I don't really care. But this will keep Eighth Sister-in-law busy for a while!"

In fact, since Yinzhi's mother had passed away early and he himself had not yet married a wife, he usually chose to hold his birthday banquet at the Ninth Prince's residence.

Yinzhen also doted on the Tenth Prince, and Lin Jiu did not have any particular opinion or dissatisfaction about it.

After all, she knew that the bond between Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince was incredibly deep; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they grew up like brothers. Although Lin Jiu didn't understand this kind of brotherhood, she respected it.

More importantly, in Lin Jiu's eyes, although Yinzhen seemed like a complete fool on the surface, he was actually quite insightful. Perhaps this was what was meant by "great wisdom appearing as foolishness"?

Furthermore, Yinzhen treated Lin Jiu with great respect and sincerity.

As the saying goes, "to repay a favor with a favor," their sincere efforts for each other enabled the three of them to live in harmony.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face showed an indescribable embarrassment. What he originally thought was a very ordinary thing had now become somewhat difficult to talk about, as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Lin Jiu, who was standing to the side, took in Yin Tang's embarrassing situation and couldn't help but wonder: Judging from this guy's appearance, could there be some other hidden story?

Unable to contain her curiosity, she pressed on, "What's wrong? You just mentioned that Tenth Brother's birthday celebration was being held at Eighth Brother's residence, and I didn't ask the wrong question! Why are you making that face?"

Yinzhen raised his hand and vigorously wiped his face, as if trying to erase the embarrassing feeling.

Then, taking a deep breath, she finally said, "Actually... it wasn't Eighth Sister-in-law who organized this birthday banquet, but... it was that concubine—Maertai."

Upon hearing Lin Jiu's question, Yinzhen suddenly realized the problem. That's right! Given the Tenth Prince's status and his relationship with the Eighth Prince, it should have been the First Wife who personally intervened.

But now they've only sent a concubine to handle this matter. Isn't that blatant disrespect?

After all, the tenth prince was from the lineage of Consort Wenxi, and his status and prestige were second only to the crown prince among his brothers.

Moreover, the tenth prince's maternal grandfather was Ebilun, one of the four regents alongside Aobai and Sony.

Therefore, from any perspective, it is absolutely impossible for a concubine to be in charge of hosting a birthday banquet at the Eighth Prince's residence.

Now that the Eighth Prince has chosen to let his concubine overstep her bounds, does this mean that he doesn't take the Tenth Prince seriously at all?

Besides, the Eighth Prince's wife, Guo Luoluo Minghui, was his cousin, so wasn't that also a slap in his face?

Yinzhen's handsome face darkened. For the first time, he wondered if his Eighth Brother truly considered them brothers.

Otherwise, why would they do this, completely disregarding their feelings?

If Lin Jiu knew what Yin Tang was thinking, he would definitely scoff and say, "What are brothers? Are they as good as someone who has climbed to the top of the incense tower?"

However, what she was thinking about now was: Ma'ertai, isn't this a Qing Dynasty time-travel drama she watched before? The female lead seemed to be from the Ma'ertai family.

However, too much time has passed, and she can't remember much. The only thing she remembers is that the female lead, like a Mary Sue, freely spreads equality and freedom among the princes. Having grown accustomed to the refined ladies of noble families, the sudden appearance of such an extraordinary one naturally attracts her attention.
