After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Peach blossom pastries are in season now, and their pink color is lovely, which is my son's favorite.

Yin Cheng happened to buy the last batch of peach blossom pastries.

While waiting for the waiter to pack the pastries, a man entered the shop. Judging from his clothes, he should be a servant from a wealthy family, and his manner of speaking and behaving was very arrogant.

"Shopkeeper, my master wants to buy all the peach blossom pastries, wrap them up quickly."

The shopkeeper quickly said, "Sir, I'm so sorry, but the last batch of peach blossom pastries in our shop has already been bought by the customers over there. Would you be willing to exchange it for another type of pastry?"

"Yes, yes, sir, take a look at the other pastries in our shop, they're just as delicious..." The waiter quickly brought over the other pastries, but the servant knocked them to the ground, and the plump sugar cakes fell to the ground and were even stepped on twice.

The servant interrupted impatiently, "My master wants peach blossom pastries. Can't you understand human language?"

"This..." The shopkeeper looked at Yin Cheng with great difficulty.

"Why do you care about him?" the servant sneered. "If you offend my master, and your shop goes out of business, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Wow, what a boastful tone." Yin Cheng asked curiously, "Who is your master?"

"I'll take pity on you and tell you," the servant said arrogantly, raising his head. "My master is His Highness Prince Cheng!"

Yin Cheng choked on his words, then exclaimed in shock, "Who?"

"The Ninth Prince of the current dynasty, the Emperor's own younger brother, the renowned Prince Cheng!" After the servant finished speaking, he gave the shocked crowd in the shop a haughty glance.

For once, Yin Cheng began to use his brain, analyzing which faction this person impersonating a servant of Prince Cheng's mansion came from.

He had only been back in the capital for a short time and was still unaware of the situation there, so he shouldn't make any rash moves lest he alert the enemy.

Yin Cheng followed the servant's words and said, "Since it is His Highness Prince Cheng, then there is no other way. Please trouble the shopkeeper to give him that package of peach blossom pastries."

The servant looked down on him, saying, "You're smart to know your place."

After he took the peach blossom pastries and left, the waiter timidly spoke up: "Manager, that gentleman didn't pay..."

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "It's better to lose money than to suffer a disaster. As long as we don't offend His Highness Prince Cheng."

He stuffed a packet of peanut brittle into Yin Cheng's hand, saying, "Sir, I'm truly sorry for what happened today. Consider this packet of peanut brittle a small apology from our shop. Please don't take offense."

Yin Cheng took the peanut brittle, placed the silver on the table, and showed the shopkeeper his Chengwangfu waist token. "He's not from the Chengwangfu. Don't be afraid of him next time you see him."

The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, and was about to speak when Yin Cheng had already walked away.

After leaving Tiannuozhai, the man posing as a servant of Prince Cheng's mansion went to other shops and, following the same instructions, took many things from them until his hands were almost full before he stopped.

He weaved through several alleyways and saw the man in brocade robes waiting nearby. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, everything has been taken care of."

Yin Shun nodded. "Has anyone suspected anything?"

The servant said, "Your Highness, rest assured, no one doubts my identity. Those unruly commoners wouldn't dare ask any more questions once they heard I was Prince Cheng."

Yin Shun nodded in satisfaction, "Well done!"

"Young Master, what about these things..."

"Here you go."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The servant immediately said obsequiously, "Your Highness, your method is truly ingenious. It not only diminishes Prince Cheng's prestige but also allows us to obtain so many things without paying any gold or silver. It's killing two birds with one stone."

"You shallow-minded piece of trash, you're blinded by such a small thing." Yin Shun felt relieved after cursing, and said, "Serve me well, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."

The servant bowed and scraped, saying, "Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness, young master."

"Damn Yin Cheng, how dare he ruin my plans!" Yin Shun said sinisterly. "I'd like to see if he can still stand in the capital if the people of the capital jointly petition against him."

Suddenly, a man rushed in from the alleyway, panting heavily, "Young Master, hurry, Young Master Lin is here!"

Yin Shun quickly asked, "Is everything ready?"

Another servant said, "Your Highness, rest assured, everything is ready."

Yin Shun nodded, then turned and ran with his servant toward one side of the alley.

At the entrance of the alley, a simple horse-drawn carriage slowly approached.

Xiao Fu kept muttering to himself, "That miracle doctor is really something. Our Lin family spent so much money to hire him, and he still acts all high and mighty. We always have to go to his house in person..."

Lin Nian's head was throbbing from the noise. "Xiao Fu."

"Young master, I'm here." Xiao Fu asked hurriedly, "Do you have a headache again?"

In Xiao Fu's opinion, the young master is good in every way, except that his health is not very good, and he has to see a divine doctor for acupuncture every month.

"If you stop talking, my headache will stop."

"Oh." Xiao Fu immediately pouted. The young master thought he was too noisy.

Suddenly, the carriage lurched.

"Young master, be careful!" Xiao Fu screamed and immediately lay down on the floor to catch Lin Nian with his body.

Lin Nian stood up, leaning against the car wall, and immediately checked Xiao Fu's injuries, anxiously asking, "Xiao Fu, how are you?"

Xiao Fu coughed twice, pounding his chest. "Young master, I'm fine."

The coachman's voice came from outside the carriage: "Young master, are you alright?"

Lin Nian lifted the car curtain and asked, "What happened?"

The coachman said, "I don't know who did this, but they dug a hole in the ground. Young master, our wheels are stuck in the hole and we can't get out."

Lin Nian helped Xiao Fu down from the carriage and then went to check the potholes on the ground.

The person who dug the pit did so intentionally; the pit was filled with silt, and a thin layer of soil and broken branches remained on the surface.

After digging the pit, the person deliberately covered the traces with light branches and soil to ensure that they would not be discovered. Hunters in the mountains often use this method to set traps.

The driver tried for a long time but could not lift the wheel out of the ditch.

Lin Nian frowned. "Go back to the manor and look for the person. I'll wait for you here."

"Then, young master..." The coachman hesitated, worried that the two young men might be in danger outside.

"Go and come back quickly," Lin Nian said.

It's not far from the Lin residence; if the coachman rides a horse, a round trip takes less than half an hour.

The coachman knew this was the best solution, so he said, "Young master, please be careful. I'll be back soon."

Before the coachman could even untie the reins, a luxurious carriage pulled up beside them, seemingly unintentionally.

The carriage was made entirely of rosewood, and even the curtains were made of a thousand-gold piece of cloud-patterned satin, not to mention the dazzling array of gemstones and jewels adorning it.

This shows that the owner of the carriage was either rich or noble.

Lin Nian's brows furrowed even more, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Yin Shun lifted the carriage curtain, first scolding the driver, then looking at Lin Nian with seven parts surprise and three parts realization, cupping his hands and saying, "So it's Young Master Lin, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Xiao Fu rushed up to Lin Nian and asked warily, "What are you doing here!"

A servant from the Prince of Yiyang's residence shouted, "How dare a lowly servant like you speak to your young master when the young master is speaking to him!"
