The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Han Cuiyin stood under the ginkgo tree, her eyes fixed on the heart of the tree.

Something's not right.

Something was already strange last night.

When the two of them were cultivating, their spiritual energy was unintentionally fused, tempered, and then reabsorbed by them, in a continuous cycle.

Ginkgo trees played a part in this.

They have already verified it.

Otherwise, no one would go to the top of a ginkgo tree to meditate.

Unfortunately, the ginkgo tree was cunning and did not show any unusual behavior.

The wooden fish returned to the waist and turned into a small yellow ball again.

One of the cracks on it was repaired last night.

Han Cuiyin didn't linger and turned back to the wooden house.

After she left, the leaves of the ginkgo tree trembled and rustled, as if mocking her.

No one noticed any of this.

Inside the cabin, the others were already resting.

Her room was the largest, and it had already been simply furnished.

This is just a temporary place to stay.

In the future, if we plan to develop this area on the mountaintop properly, it will definitely be more comfortable than Tingfeng Xiaozhu.

She initially preferred the location of the villa.

When you get bored with cultivation, you can go boating on the lake, and when the lotus flowers bloom, you can pick them.

However, there's that senior at the bottom of the pool, and she was even saved by him before, so it's not a good time for her to take over the territory now.

We had no choice but to settle for second best and properly arrange the area on the mountaintop.

After returning to her room, Han Cuiyin lay down on the bamboo recliner and took out the stone bead again.

Several light screens appeared in front of her.

At the Han residence, things remained the same; the women would chat for a while and then go home.

It's evening now, so there aren't many palace intrigue dramas to watch.

Clicking on the light screen of the Marquis of Kaiming's residence reveals a lot more interesting details.

Lu Cheng was nowhere to be found; it was pitch black over there, and it seemed like someone was eavesdropping.

"My lord, do you wish to establish an heir without discussing this with Consort Rui?"

The wife of the Marquis was more than ten years younger than the Marquis of Kaiming. The combination of an older man and a younger woman was exactly what people wanted to cherish.

"What's there to discuss! The second brother is steady and can do well anywhere. The eldest brother... sigh, it's my fault!"

Following Lu Cheng's perspective, the situation inside the room was also projected onto the light screen.

Marquis Kaiming was a handsome man.

She had seen him from afar in her past life.

If that man had possessed such youthful charm back in Han Zhen's time, Han Zhen probably wouldn't have stood a chance.

How could such a windfall fall into Han Zhen's lap as he was to marry the legitimate daughter of a prince of a different surname who was not related to the emperor?

"My lord, you must not be misled by the second son and fail to establish the eldest son as heir. That would make you a laughing stock."

"The eldest son also needs to be established! Look at the things he's done!"

Marquis Kaiming frowned, his face clouded with worry.

"I have heard about it. Master only harms his own maids, and he doesn't go out and harm young ladies from wealthy families, which is already quite good."

Lu Cheng's wife has been ill ever since she was released.

Even when he was healthy, he couldn't control Lu Cheng's reckless behavior and could only turn a blind eye and let him run wild.

Now that he is ill, with no one to restrain him, he naturally indulges himself.

Han Cuiyin couldn't help but admire this Lady Hou.

Lady Hou may not have a prominent family background, but her shrewdness and cunning are no less than anyone else's.

"It seems that in my previous life, I was the son of a marquis who inherited the title."

She remembered this because the Marquis's son was a ruthless character.

This person was highly trusted by the emperor.

In his previous life, Lu Cheng had committed some crime that led to his entire family being exiled.

Master Lu was tricked by the brother of another imperial concubine and lost his job.

Only Master Lu remained, who had previously worked secretly for the emperor but later came out into the open.

Marquis Kaiming could only choose Third Master Lu as his heir.

This Lady Hou came from the worst family background, yet she was the one who had the last laugh.

Han Cuiyin turned off the light screen, pondered for a while, and made a decision.

Lu Cheng is a meticulous person, and he is the perfect person to deal with Han Zhen. He is the best candidate.

Besides, she had already taken some underhanded measures against Lu Cheng, so if this person were to try to harm her again, he would have to think twice.

It's just a shame that Lady Hou and Master Lu have to suffer in vain, as their efforts have been in vain. This is how she can take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters.

Normally, as long as someone doesn't cause trouble in front of her, she wouldn't deliberately dwell on things from her past life.

Everything that happens is the best arrangement. She was gradually convincing herself in the Realm of Immortality.

The Han family has repeatedly harmed her; she cannot simply sit idly by and wait to die.

For thousands of years, she has been accustomed to taking the initiative and seizing the initiative.

Intrigue and backstabbing are the most mentally taxing things, and Han Cuiyin quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

At the top of the mountain, Han Cuiyin led the group to make some simple arrangements, which took until the afternoon.

Due to his physical condition, Luo Jingqian could only stay in the wooden house to avoid being exposed to the sun.

"Alright, that's fine for now! We'll clean it up properly a year from now."

Setting up a courtyard a year later will only take an hour.

Once her spiritual power was restored, those things became extremely easy.

"Let's go back to the other courtyard!"

This time, with Luo Jingqian and the other two, each carrying one, they descended the mountain quickly.

“It’s so much more convenient this way! When we went up the mountain before, it took us half a day, and our legs were almost unresponsive.” Granny Gao looked at Qinghe. “I wonder if these skills are difficult to learn. I have three sons at home. If they can learn even a little bit, it will be easy for them to make a living.”

"Just trying to make a living? If they learned even a fraction of my skills, they could establish themselves in the capital."

"Qinghe!"

Aoyama stopped his younger brother from continuing.

They believe Fuguang Mountain exists only in legends and has never been seen in reality.

"Okay, I'll go catch some fish."

Qinghe put down Granny Gao and left quickly.

“Miss, it seems like these girls haven’t left yet!” Gao Xiaolan also let go of Qingshan’s hand and came to Han Cuiyin’s side.

Her gaze was fixed on Luo Jingqian's sleeve, her expression ambiguous.

Luo Jingqian quickly released Han Cuiyin's arm and took two steps back. "If Miss Yang doesn't like it, I'll just send her away."

This time we miscalculated. We thought they would complain about the environment here and return to the capital early this morning, but we didn't expect them to dawdle until now.

Only Geng Ruqin, Geng Wan'er, and Li Meiyun returned to the capital; the Luo sisters were to accompany Princess Jinghe.

Luo Jingqian knew about his maternal grandmother's arrangements and felt somewhat disgusted by the girls who were refusing to leave.

These people are never idle here.

There's no chance to even have some peace and quiet.

She would bring out plates of snacks one minute and offer a handkerchief the next, completely oblivious to the meaning of modesty.

"Your Highness, you've returned just in time. Go and persuade the Princess, she wants to go back too." Granny Gu, who served Princess Jinghe, came out and looked at them as if they were her saviors.

"My mother wants to go down the mountain; do not stop her. My father... will return to the capital soon."

Granny Gu's expression changed. "Alas, why won't the princess listen to the princess's advice, Princess!"

After sending the nanny away, Luo Jingqian then had to send the girls away as well.

He took off his mask and waved it in the sun, and pustules quickly appeared on his face.

He went to Princess Jinghe with that face still on.

"Tsk tsk, they're really going all out!" Han Cuiyin couldn't help but admire them.

The young lady was willing, but alas, the prince had no interest.

Luo Jingqian had only been inside for a short while when the girls, as if chased by dogs, all got into their own carriages.

Han Cuiyin remained hidden behind the screen wall, and those people did not notice her.

"Don't worry, I've sealed their memories. Your identity and appearance won't be revealed. With my mother around, they won't be able to cause any trouble on their journey."

Luo Jingqian came to her side again and spoke slowly.

"Whether or not my memories are sealed doesn't really matter. As long as I don't leave here, what can those people do to me?"

Han Cuiyin flicked her sleeves and went straight to the guest room.

"They've finally come down the mountain! At least we can have some peace and quiet now."

The light green color gradually faded into the distance, and as I walked, my sleeves swayed freely and gracefully.

"Qingshan, go to the Han family and bring Xiaohe here first. Then, go to the address above and inform Miss Yang of her situation."

Luo Jingqian handed the note to Qingshan and told him to do as instructed on it.

Dressed in white, carrying a green bamboo umbrella, he headed straight for that patch of green.
