The next day, Xiahou Jing wanted to go to Yi Mansion again to give Qin Hanlin some instructions, but then she thought that Xiahou Yu might change his mind if she went, so she went straight back to Qinglong City.

Qin Hanlin had woken up. She was leaning against the bed, her face pale and her lips bloodless.

"Miss, they agreed to take you with them." Mo'er poured her a glass of water and looked at her worriedly.

Qin Hanlin took a small sip and hummed lightly.

For the sake of her family, she even threw away her dignity as a lady from a wealthy family. If they still insisted on driving her away, she would rather die.

At that time, she vaguely saw a few people in the courtyard, and thought they should be the other three heirs, but who were those three girls? What was their relationship with them?

Qin Hanlin felt a sharp pain in her head, forcing her to stop thinking.

"Miss, let me change the medicine for you." Mo'er took the thing and looked at the gauze on her head.

"Okay." Qin Hanlin nodded.

The door suddenly opened, and the two looked up and saw Tao Tao and Xu Zheng walking in.

"Qin Hanlin, we'll leave soon. You're injured now, are you sure you want to go with us?" Xu Zheng raised her eyebrows, folded her arms and looked down at her condescendingly.

Mo Er stood in front of Qin Hanlin and asked sternly, "Who are you? How dare you call our eldest lady by her name?"

Xu Zheng glanced at her calmly and shouted, "How dare you?" She pulled Tao Tao over and said, "This is the mistress of the Yi Mansion. You are making trouble here, and we can't say anything? It's ridiculous!"

"Mistress?" Mo'er and Qin Hanlin exclaimed at the same time, looking at Tao Tao, who had a good temper, with some disbelief.

Tao Tao was not nervous. She looked calm: "Qin Hanlin, when you recover, we will send someone to take you back."

Qin Hanlin grasped the sheets with both hands and said softly, "I'm sorry, I had no choice last night."

Xu Zheng rolled her eyes, pulled Tao Tao and turned away: "We have no choice but to bring you along now!"

Mo Er patted Qin Hanlin's back and comforted her, "Miss, let's ignore them. They don't know your difficulties."

Qin Hanlin shook his head: "It doesn't matter, they didn't embarrass me, but I made it difficult for them."

Moer nodded and picked up the bundle from the table: "Miss, this was sent by Madam this morning. It contains the Xiahou family's token and some banknotes and valuables."

Qin Hanlin leaned against the bed and said coldly, "Oh, I didn't come back all night, and she really wasn't worried."

Moer put down her things: "Miss, don't be sad. Be careful of headaches. The doctor said you can't be stimulated."

Qin Hanlin didn't say anything, with a look of sadness in his eyes, and silently asked her to change his medicine.

Since Xiaoyao City is some distance away from Lianyun City, Yiqing prepared two very spacious carriages. Qin Hanlin was not familiar with the few people and was injured, so Xia Nian asked Xiahou Yu to prepare one for her.

They did not mention what happened last night. Fortunately, only their own people knew about it at the time. Han Liuyi and Lin Yue had left Yi Mansion a few days ago and did not know about it.

Inside the carriage, Xu Zheng and Meng Yin were playing around without caring about their image at all, and their laughter could be heard by them.

Mo Er muttered, "I really don't know how the heirs of the four major families can get along with them. They don't look like ladies from a noble family at all."

Qin Hanlin leaned back on the cushion and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Are the so-called ladies from noble families like me yesterday?"

Moer realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly slapped her lips twice: "Miss, I'm sorry, Moer didn't mean it."

"It's okay, I don't blame you." She closed her eyes, looking very tired.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of them. Even though we just met yesterday, they seem so comfortable and happy." Qin Hanlin said.

Mo Er was dissatisfied and said, "Miss, that's because they have the protection of those four."

"Yes, I only have my family behind me, and I will have to sacrifice for it my whole life." Qin Hanlin murmured.

Mo'er lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Miss, why do you have to stay? Can't you just go with the Madam? After all, you are her niece."

Qin Hanlin smiled weakly: "Don't I know who my aunt is? She brought me to Xiaoyao City this time with this idea in mind."

After saying that, she leaned against the cushion and said, "I'm tired. I'll take a nap first."

"...Yes." Mo'er nodded and sat aside obediently.

Lin Yue knelt on the ground respectfully, his head on the back of his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Master!"

Old Han sat on the couch and glanced at him calmly: "Are you back? If you are, sit down."

Lin Yue didn't move, and it was unclear whether he was afraid to get up or didn't hear anything.

Han Liuyi pulled his arm: "Daddy has already mentioned it."

Lin Yue's eyes flickered and he pursed his lips slightly.

"Ayue, do you hate me?" He placed a chess piece, his voice solemn and majestic.

Lin Yue clenched his hands and shook his head, "No, I failed Master's expectations."

"It's good that you know." Old Han sighed, "Back then, your parents gave you to me and asked me to raise you, but now you really disappoint me."

Lin Yue knelt down again: "Master, please give me a chance to make amends. No matter what you want me to do, Lin Yue will definitely do it seriously and diligently!"

Han Liuyi held Lin Yue's arm and pleaded for him: "Dad, the Xiaoyao Sect incident was not my brother's fault alone. Please forgive him and give my brother a chance!"

Her eyes flickered slightly, looking very charming.

Old Han stood up, took two steps forward, and helped Lin Yue up.

"Okay, this is my good disciple. Since you said so, you should follow Liu Yi and go to Lianyun City with her tomorrow." Old Han patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said.

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded.

When Old Han turned around, he gave Han Liuyi a look. Han Liuyi immediately understood. She pulled Lin Yue away and sent him away, then jumped back onto the couch.

"Dad, is there any news about the jade slip?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes, there are rumors that the jade slip is in Lianyun City." said Old Han.

Han Liuyi tilted her head: "Rumors? What if it's false?"

“Whether it’s true or not, you should go and see it.”

With a snap, another chess piece fell onto the chessboard, and Mr. Han's eyes flashed with shrewdness and sharpness.

It takes a whole day to travel from Xiaoyao City to Lianyun City via the official road. Even if they went at a fast pace, they only covered half the distance in the afternoon.

Meng Yin and Xu Zheng were already crying and shouting inside. When they saw a stream outside, they immediately clamored to get out of the car and take a walk.

Xia Nian opened the curtain and was surprised by the scene in front of him.

The stream is surprisingly turquoise in color. Even though it is a cloudy day today, the water surface is still shimmering. It is surrounded by straight poplar trees without any traces of artificial carving, which makes people feel happy immediately.

Meng Yin stuck her head out and shouted to Ah Shuo who was driving the carriage, "Ah Shuo, stop, stop."

Ah Shuo waved the reins and stopped.

Xu Zheng got off the carriage at almost lightning speed, then turned back and picked up Meng Yin.

"Oh my god, they're finally alive. My waist was about to break." Meng Yin stretched lazily. When the four people in front saw them stop, they thought something had happened and came over.

"A Zheng, what's wrong?" Pei Xuanxi asked when he saw her rubbing her waist.

Xu Zheng looked Pei Xuanxi up and down: "No, I just want to get down and move around. Pei Xuanxi, aren't you tired?"

Pei Xuanxi shook his head, "Then let me give A Zheng a massage?"

Xu Zheng waved her hand: "It's okay, I'll be fine after I move."

After saying that, she ran towards Meng Yin.

As soon as Xia Nian and Tao Tao got out of the car, they saw Meng Yin and Xu Zheng taking off their shoes.

She shook her head helplessly. The two of them wanted to play as soon as they saw water.

Meng Yin had just taken off her shoes and was about to jump into the water when Gu Ling grabbed her waist with one arm and lifted her up.

Meng Yin fluttered her feet in the air twice, turned back and glared at him: "Damn Gu Ling, put me down!"

Gu Ling raised his eyebrows: "Ayin, don't catch a cold."
