The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.
Chapter 121 The Second Concubine
Han Mansion.
Xu Tianyun was most anxious about Mo Changdao's injury.
"Are you alright?" Xu Tianyun put a pill into his mouth. "Brother Mo, did you see clearly what was harming the Han family?"
Han Zhen also waited expectantly for Mo Changdao to recover, so that he could know the reason why the Han family had gone through all this.
Mo Changdao took a while to recover.
"Lord Han, you have really done me a disservice this time. After this ordeal, the Mo family has finally repaid the debt we owe you."
Han Zhen's face stiffened for a moment, then he put on a concerned expression. "Elder Mo, is this matter very troublesome? It was wrong of me to cause you injury. Please tell me what medicinal herbs you need. I have collected a lot of good medicinal herbs in the Pinglian Mountains."
"It is indeed troublesome. I was only able to repel that person temporarily. How did you manage to provoke such a powerful figure?" Mo Changdao asked the question again.
"This... I don't know either! What is the background of the person behind this? If I don't know any of this, there's no way I can talk about it!"
Han Zhen was truly unaware that offending people was something that rarely happened to him.
He came from humble beginnings and always left room for maneuver in his dealings with others.
He was able to enter the cabinet this time by squeezing out several colleagues from aristocratic families, thanks to his diligence over the past ten years and the trust of Emperor Chuyuan.
Those people were convinced and even developed a friendship with him.
Even their families did not show him any malice.
Han Zhen eliminated those people.
Now, all that remains are the Lu brothers, Lu Cheng and Lu Yong, and Yang Cuiyin, his daughter whom he hadn't seen for over a decade and who had just returned home.
Lu Cheng's last framing was probably to vent personal anger, and Mo Lao also said that Lu Yong was not in the capital.
Cross out these two, leaving only Yang Cuiyin.
Is this even possible? A country girl with such abilities.
Furthermore, the Yan family followed the Prince of Xiaoyao into seclusion, so logically it shouldn't be them. However, the Prince of Xiaoyao's methods are indeed more like those of an immortal than an ordinary person.
Han Zhen felt a surge of emotion and said uncertainly:
"There are two candidates: Yang Cuiyin and Prince Xiaoyao."
Old Mo nodded, "That matches my suspicions, however, the Carefree King can be ruled out."
"Why?" Xu Tianyun was more inclined to believe that the Prince of Xiaoyao was more likely to make the move. How could a weak woman have such great abilities?
"Because it is not easy to do these things."
"This person has set up traps in various courtyards. As long as we find that thing, we can get rid of this nightmare."
"However, I am injured, and you will probably have to suffer for a few more days."
After saying this, Mo Changdao and Xu Tianyun left the Han family.
"Brother Mo, how exactly was it designed? Does that dark-skinned girl really have such abilities?"
Xu Tianyun had seen Han Cuiyin a few times in Chang Le County, but he didn't take her seriously.
Even though Mo Changdao was injured, he still had some doubts.
"It's not easy to do all this. That person has to place the array's core in every corner of the Han residence. After everyone in the residence has gone to sleep, the person who set up the array will then use a secret method to activate it."
"The Prince of Xiaoyao has just arrived and is not yet familiar with the Han family, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the wrong courtyard the night before."
"Also, the way I fought that person wasn't the way of our martial arts practitioners. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, the lotus hairpin in her hair was too eye-catching."
"That hairpin was supposedly bought from Marquis Jingyun. I was curious at the time and took a few more glances at it."
Mo Changdao felt somewhat relieved after explaining the situation clearly.
Debts of gratitude are hard to repay, but this time, the Mo family can finally break free.
"A lotus seedpod hairpin? There should be quite a few of those hairpins, right? You're sure it's that dark-skinned girl just based on that? That's not like your usual style."
Xu Tianyun had a plan in mind, but he didn't show it on his face.
He had no recollection of that hairpin.
If even Mo Changdao remembers it, it must not be an ordinary hairpin.
If I have the chance, I'd really like to snatch it and take a look.
"That lotus seedpod hairpin is different from the others; it's a vibrant green, just like a real lotus seedpod. I'm used to seeing fine things, I'm not incapable of distinguishing them. That hairpin is no ordinary object. I'm old, you're still young, if possible, take it..."
The two of them, without prior consultation, both became interested in the hairpin.
Han Cuiyin felt a chill run through her body, her breath caught in her throat, as if she were being watched by something.
In her dream, she fought with someone and recognized him as Han Zhen, the person she had relied on to save her life. That person was Mo Changdao.
If it weren't for Muyu's compassionate act of protecting her, she would definitely have been hurt.
"It seems we'll have to wait a few more days. That Mo Changdao is quite capable; no wonder he's the longest-lived expert in the Innate Realm in the Great Ye Dynasty."
When she saw the new cracks on the wooden fish, she felt a pang of heartache. "Oh well, all that work for nothing these past few days."
A few days ago, the wooden fish went out and ate something that had been repaired, and the fine cracks reopened, with a few more cracks appearing.
They gave the wooden fish five more spirit stones to stop it from causing trouble.
Now, she only has eighty-five top-grade spirit stones left.
She kept these valuable items in her storage bag.
Fortunately, the storage bag she made resembled the purses worn by young ladies here, so no one suspected anything.
There was also a magic bag on the surface to mislead people, so her purse didn't raise any suspicion.
With nothing to do, Han Cuiyin simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep, and the night passed just like that.
The next day.
Han Cuiyin got up early, but the farm was crowded with people and distractions, making it impossible for her to absorb the primordial energy.
She simply took a walk around the farm, pondering how to use the Yan family.
Just then, a horse-drawn carriage passed by.
The car was going very fast, and Han Cuiyin quickly dodged, almost rolling into the ditch.
The maidservant quickly helped her up and sighed, "That was the First Prince's carriage. The one inside should be the young princess. She's a pitiful person, so please don't take it to heart, Miss."
In her previous life, Han Cuiyin didn't know much; such royal matters were too far removed from her understanding.
Furthermore, after marrying Luo Jingqian, she did not go out to socialize.
Those who went out of the mansion for social engagements were all concubines.
Thinking about what happened before, my good mood vanished.
Even after a thousand years, revisiting this place still stirred my emotions.
"The Crown Prince's wife was beautiful but died young. She had a difficult childbirth a few months ago and only has this one daughter left. What good is it if she is favored by the Crown Prince? Next month, a new Crown Prince's wife will enter the family. She will have a hard time living under her stepmother's rule."
Han Cuiyin was startled upon hearing this, "The new princess is entering the family next month? Which minister's daughter is she?"
The maid came from the Princess's residence in the capital and knew a lot about the news in the capital. "The new princess's family background is not very good. She is the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Censor Qi, and the marriage was bestowed by the Emperor."
"Imperial Censor Qi? Is that the Imperial Censor Qi who lives next door to the Han family?"
The maid knew Han Cuiyin's identity and nodded in agreement, "It's that family."
"It seems to be Miss Qi Yuejiao."
This girl was the first to show kindness when she arrived at the Han family.
However, in her previous life, the eldest prince's second wife was clearly surnamed Xu, and that Miss Xu was from a collateral branch of the Xu royal family.
What's the situation with the First Prince?
