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

Yan Ruyi was a little embarrassed and bit her lip as she said:

"It's all because of my mother! A couple of days ago, someone came to our door wanting to arrange a marriage for me. After she sent them away, she had my father choose one of her business partners so I could marry into that family!"

Ping'an Lane was inhabited by wealthy families. After the Yan family moved there, they rarely went out, but they were still targeted by some people.

To dissuade her mother from having such thoughts, she has begun a hunger strike.

On the first day of their hunger strike, the Qingshan and Qinghe brothers came to their door and told them where Han Cuiyin was.

Yan Dali then had an idea and prepared to follow them out of the city that very night to find the Yan clan.

After learning about this, Yan Ruyi, along with the girl she had rescued and Li Rou, came to seek refuge with Han Cuiyin.

"Cuiyin, you'll take us in, won't you?"

Yan Ruyi briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and then ran to Han Cuiyin and acted coquettishly.

In Yanjiacun Village, Pinglian Mountain, her cousin looked at her with the same eyes an elder would have for a younger generation.

Yan Ruyi often acted recklessly in front of her, and even when her parents scolded her for being disrespectful, they couldn't stop her.

The two became very familiar with each other during the ten months they spent in Hanjiacun.

Sometimes, the two would go up the mountain together to pick wild fruits and dig for medicinal herbs.

"It's good that you came along, but why did you bring them both? One is injured and the other is pregnant; what if something happens to them on the way—"

"Good sister, I'm leaving. My mother has no one to keep her company, and those two will suffer the consequences. Rather than that, let her gossip with the old woman we just bought!"

Yan Ruyi was lively by nature and had already become familiar with Li Rou and the girl in the red dress.

"Is that girl called Red Robe?" Han Cuiyin noticed that the girl's face and hands were wrapped in fine cotton cloth, so she must have been badly burned.

“She had amnesia and didn’t know her own name, so my brother told her to call her Hongyi (Red Dress).

Yan Ruyi didn't think much of it and told the truth.

Han Cuiyin couldn't help but look at the girl in red admiring the flowers in the wooden corridor and asked, "Do you know that the princess is also missing? She was also wearing red. Could it be?"

"How could that be! A princess is of noble birth, while this girl's hands are covered in calluses. My brother said she might be the daughter of a blacksmith, and she must work a lot at the blacksmith's shop!"

Yan Ruyi glanced in the direction of Hongyi and Li Rou, her face full of regret, "I just went to the blacksmith shop to ask, and they all said that no daughter has been lost."

Blacksmith?

Han Cuiyin was taken aback. If it was blacksmithing, it certainly had nothing to do with the princess.

"Then let's stay here for now and talk about it after she regains her memory. But I don't keep idle people around. If she wants to come with me, she'll have to do something."

"Okay, give me some work to do too. There's nothing to do in the mountains, so I can always pass the time."

Yan Ruyi seemed a little down.

When they were in the capital, she could still sneak out with her older brother to travel.

There's really nothing fun to do in the mountains.

Especially Qingshuang Mountain, which ordinary people dare not approach.

"Cuiyin, can we go into the mountains with you?"

This farm is located at the foot of Qingshuang Mountain, very close by.

Some of the vegetables and poultry on the mountain come from here.

Every three days, some vegetables and meat are delivered to the mountains.

Luo Jingqian placed the things he brought from the capital in the main courtyard so that it would be convenient for Princess Changyun to come and stay for a while.

To prevent the wounds from reopening, they are being kept in the capital for the time being.

My maternal grandmother has already given instructions that once they recover from their injuries, they can come over and have some peace and quiet.

In the capital, especially for families like theirs, divorce is a major event.

There are always those who are blind to gossip in front of the person in question. Princess Changyun has not attended any banquets for several years now.

Luo Tianyun and Luo Tianxia will be of marriageable age in two or three years, and they should meet and see each other.

Princess Changyun is a strong-willed person, so she will definitely make frequent appearances in the next two years.

Showing up might lead to encounters with members of the second branch of the Luo family, which would only cause awkwardness. It's better to avoid seeing them altogether.

Princess Jinghe had this concern, which is why she agreed to let Luo Jingqian go to the capital today on business and bring him here.

Unfortunately, Princess Changyun's wound cannot be jostled and she will need to rest for some time.

However, some commonly used items have been moved over, so they can move in as soon as they arrive.

Han Cuiyin did not inquire about the Luo family's future; she simply recounted the story of the three girls to Luo Jingqian.

Luo Jingqian hesitated for a moment, "The courtyard is cold. Can an injured woman and a pregnant woman withstand it?"

"That place is suitable for burns, but Li Rou is pregnant, and the child in her belly is my future apprentice, so we still need to be careful."

"A future apprentice? The child hasn't even been born yet, and you already know there's a master-apprentice relationship?"

This time it was Luo Jingqian's turn to be surprised. In their Konoha world, children were only found out if they had cultivation talent when they reached the age of eight.

"It's fate that brought us together; there's no escaping it!" Han Cuiyin ended the conversation with just one sentence.

"Cuiyin, my father says he needs to discuss some things with you. Where would be a convenient place for you?"

Yan Ruyi saw the two of them together but didn't have any other thoughts.

She only came to bother me because she suddenly remembered this matter.

"Then I'll wait here! Lord Luo, I won't go to the other courtyard today."

"it is good!"

After Luo Jingqian left, Yan Ruyi said:

"This man is the Grand Princess's grandson. You two are quite familiar with each other?"

“If my mother sees this, she’d probably be better off using all her strength on you. You’ve got a perfect candidate.”

Yan Ruyi ignored the mask on Luo Jingqian's face.

Even just looking at his back, his overall demeanor far surpasses that of ordinary people.

"Alright, go and settle in first. I'm not leaving today; I'll wait for my uncle. As for where you'll go in the future, let me think about it."

The left peak of Qingshuang Mountain is where she cultivates, so naturally not too many people can live there.

The mountainside belongs to Luo Jingqian, leaving only the right-hand peak.

If that area is flat, then the Yan clan members could be settled there.

Aside from the inconvenience of being isolated from the world, it is absolutely safe and a place to escape the world.

She naturally knew the secrets of the Yan family.

Taking refuge there will definitely allow you to avoid some people.

Once my adoptive father recovers, I can have him help set up the protective mountain formation.

Having made up her mind, Han Cuiyin found a guest room to rest.

She didn't bring any maids with her when she went down the mountain this time. Luo Jingqian arranged two maids for her, and then she hurriedly returned to the mountain.

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

As night fell, Han Cuiyin was filled with excitement. "You didn't have enough fun last night, so this time you'll have to suffer a bit."

Han Mansion.

Mo Changdao and Xu Tianyun were already guarding this place.

Han Zhen drank strong tea and stayed by his side.

"What time did it start last night?" Xu Tianyun asked impatiently. "Brother Mo, why don't we go take a look?"

Han Zhen hesitated, but still voiced his deduction, "It's probably around midnight! But I went to bed late last night and went to bed earlier tonight, so perhaps the person casting the spell behind it will also be there earlier."

"Let's start with Old Madam Han!" Xu Tianyun couldn't sit still any longer. "Why don't you, Brother Mo, go and scout ahead first?"

“Alright!” Mo Changdao stroked his long beard. “If anything goes wrong, I’ll need you to pull me out of this mess.”

The Matsukatsu-in Temple was completely silent, and no one noticed the three of them appearing there.

"It's already begun! I'll go and have a look."

Mo Changdao entered Madam Han's dream.

A short while later, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he began to tremble.

"Brother Mo~"
