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

The scenery around Qingshuang Mountain is quite nice, and it doesn't feel hot in the summer.

The surrounding area was also cool, unlike the sweltering heat of Beijing.

No wonder the land at the foot of Qingshuang Mountain was bought up by the powerful and wealthy.

The carriage of the princess I just saw was one of them.

The maid at the farm did talk about the princess.

These royal affairs are known in greater detail only to the powerful and wealthy who have royal blood.

Especially the lineage of Princess Jinghe.

Even though Princess Jinghe has faded from the court, her network of information is still unmatched by ordinary people.

She's just a maid, how could she know so much information?

They even knew about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the Crown Prince's wife's visit.

The young princess is currently the only bloodline of the eldest prince and is powerless to change her mother's passing.

The carriage was filled with women, and none of the four of them spoke.

Ever since Han Cuiyin learned about the events at the First Prince's residence that morning, she couldn't help but think about her past life.

The memories of her past life were too distant, and when she recalled these things, she discovered that there was a gray area in her mind.

She was unaware that there was such a restriction on her soul.

Judging from the technique, it was set up by her master, but her master had never mentioned this.

She doesn't have the strength to break through now, so she doesn't aspire to do so.

Li Rou sat to the side, hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Han Cuiyin looked up and saw her like this, and was somewhat displeased.

She had spent too long in the Realm of Immortality, and the habits formed over a thousand years were not so easy to change.

She is trying her best to accept the small world of Konoha, which allows for the existence of women who are inherently weak.

This is not the Immortal Realm where people fight with magical artifacts at the drop of a hat.

Most of the women here are verbally offensive and use underhanded tricks behind people's backs; at most, they'll gossip and spread rumors.

On the surface, things should remain as they are.

That morning, Han Cuiyin thought about many things because of that little princess.

She was also hesitant and pondering how to establish herself in the Great Ye Dynasty and how to deal with those in the Han family who wanted to harm her.

"Miss, I want to serve you by your side." Li Rou made up her mind before revealing her thoughts.

The other two girls turned to look at Han Cuiyin, especially the one in red, whose face was mostly covered, but her curiosity was still evident.

The woman in red had been stealing glances, and Han Cuiyin had already noticed.

She still had a dark expression, and it was no longer unusual for people who met her for the first time to stare at her.

I've long been used to it.

Those stares and strange looks had no effect on her.

"Qingshuang Mountain Villa is not suitable for you! The cold pool there is frigid and not good for the child in your womb."

Han Cuiyin refused outright.

Li Rou lived in constant fear, a fact unknown to others.

I've seen her in Lucheng and followed her, so I know where she is.

“Miss, Lu Cheng knows where Ping An Lane is! If I don’t leave, I’m afraid Lu Cheng will take action again.”

"I'm pregnant now and it's inconvenient for me. What if he goes mad again and hurts the master of Ping'an Lane..."

Yan Ruyi was taken aback. "Sister Rou, why didn't you say so sooner? Never go out alone again."

She didn't know such a thing could happen.

Li Rou's husband's family is the Marquis of Kaiming's mansion, a fact known even to the Yan family.

I just didn't expect that Lu Cheng would be so audacious.

They wanted to take action in the capital in broad daylight, without even bothering to pretend.

"Don't be afraid! If possible, you can stay temporarily at the place where the Yan family is staying this time."

Han Cuiyin never expected Lu Cheng to be so crazy.

Last time, he buried something in the Han family mansion, intending to wipe out the entire Han family, including her.

This time, upon discovering Li Rou, they completely disregarded their agreement and even came to harass her.

Actually, Lu Cheng was really wrong this time.

The Kaiming Marquis's Residence.

Lu Cheng sat grimly in the pavilion. "The person is gone? When did they disappear?"

The subordinates finished their report with trembling fear, their bodies shaking.

Ever since Lu Cheng discovered that he couldn't command respect in those matters, he has become increasingly strange.

Not only was he capricious, but he also frequently beat and scolded his servants, often resorting to beatings.

The lucky ones survived, while the unlucky ones died on the spot, and under the cover of night, a tattered mat became their final resting place.

These people were all trained by Lu Cheng in Chang Le County over the years.

When he was the governor of Chang Le County, he was quite ambitious and often rewarded them.

Later, he was dealt with by the Fourth Prince, and when he came out again, he acted strangely.

He rarely went to the backyard anymore, which aroused even more suspicion.

They only dared to talk about these things in private and didn't dare to discuss them too much.

This time, the blows they received made them even more convinced of Lu Cheng's supposed incompetence.

After sending the people away, Lu Cheng drank alone in the pavilion, feeling depressed.

"Why? How could this happen? Yang Cuiyin, how dare you use such a heavy hand!"

"You'd better never show your face again. If you do, don't expect me to let you off the hook!"

Lu Cheng was already so drunk that his vision was blurry, but he still couldn't help but curse, "And you, Li! You dared to run away with my son. If you're so capable, then never come to the capital again."

His health is failing, and he desperately needs a healthy offspring.

The title of Marquis of Kaiming must not be passed on to others.

However, his eldest son was mentally challenged and was not among the heirs.

The rest were all illegitimate daughters.

Now, it's unclear how long his symptoms will last, and Li Rou's unborn child is his lifeline.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have just followed Li Rou without taking any action when he saw her that day.

Now that he's gone, if his last offspring are gone, there's truly no hope left.

"Yang Cuiyin, don't think that just because you've latched onto Princess Jinghe, I can't do anything to you. You'll have to go back to the capital one day."

Then, he collapsed onto the stone table, unconscious.

Han Cuiyin was unaware of Lu Cheng's thoughts, but she could not grant Li Rou's request.

"Qingshuang Mountain is indeed not suitable for pregnant women. For the sake of your unborn child, you should stay at the Yan family for a while. Once I've settled things on my end, I'll bring you and your child up the mountain."

Li Rou could only agree through tears.

"Alright, Sister Rou. You definitely won't find the Yan family here in Lu City. My father said that... oh, you'll have to feel it for yourselves, we're almost there."

Yan Ruyi quickly stopped talking, lifted the curtain at the window, and pretended to be looking at the scenery.

Han Cuiyin had already sensed that something was wrong.

Since entering the mountain, it has been quiet all around, without even the sound of birds chirping, so I couldn't help but become on guard.

"Girls, you'd better sit down properly!"

The carriage lurched forward, then with a thud, the people inside were thrown forward.

Han Cuiyin grabbed Hongyi and Li Rou, but Yan Ruyi darted forward. Fortunately, her two uncles blocked her way, preventing her from falling out of the carriage.

"Father, is this the paradise you were talking about? I almost lost my life here!"

Yan Ruyi pouted, looking unhappy.

Yan Dali drove another ten meters or so before the car stopped. "You little brat, what unlucky things are you saying! Get ready to get out of the car, we've arrived, the clan chief is waiting at the village entrance."

Han Cuiyin was greatly surprised when she saw the clan leader. Was this a case of rejuvenation?
