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

Princess Changyun lay on her side on the couch, her face pale.

Hearing her joke, Luo Jingqian's two younger sisters laughed in unison.

"You two, why aren't you going horseback riding and hunting with those girls? Your older brother's getting shy with you two here. Ahem~"

The two girls quickly stepped forward and gently patted Princess Changyun's back. "We'll stay by your side! Once you're better, we'll beat Li Meiyun to a pulp."

Luo Tianyun was outspoken, and after mentioning Li Meiyun, Princess Changyun coughed even more violently.

"..."

Luo Jingqian glared at her, but didn't say anything.

Princess Changyun's injury this time is not simple; it is a backlash injury, which is more troublesome than the Golden Whip directly injuring her back.

In addition to healing the external injuries, the backlash must also be eliminated.

There's no other way but to try the thing Han Cuiyin gave us.

"Yun'er, keep an eye on the time. When it's noon, light this paper with the help of the sun, and use the ashes to make water for your mother to drink."

Luo Tianyun knew she had caused trouble, so she didn't dare to look up again. She took the things and hurriedly left.

"Sister, wait for me!" Luo Tianxia was very perceptive and quickly made up an excuse to follow her out.

After the two left, the atmosphere in the room became even more somber.

Luo Jingqian fanned Princess Changyun with a fan, "Mother, the Luo family has arrived. They went to that manor, but they were driven away. If the Yan family needs anything from here, please be sure to help them."

Princess Changyun recovered, hiding the sorrow on her face, and said reproachfully, "I know, you've told me so many times! Someone offered 200,000 taels for that estate before, but now, for your sweetheart, you've only sold a small portion!"

She wasn't one to be stingy with money; she'd only acquired that estate for two thousand taels back then, and she wouldn't have lost money even if she sold it for twenty thousand. She was only saying all this to embarrass her son.

They spent very little time together. The child had suffered for so many years. If someone could cure him and stay by his side, she, as his mother, would be willing to die right then and there.

Sure enough, Luo Jingqian rubbed his ears, trying to remain calm, "It's all thanks to Miss Han for helping our family. My grandfather will recover soon, without having to wait five years."

"Really?" Princess Changyun sat up, her face beaming with joy. "Didn't you say it would take another three to five years? Have you found some other miraculous medicine?"

Because of Luo Jingqian, Geng Rui has been stuck at the bottom of the cold pool for nearly ten years.

Princess Changyun was extremely saddened by this.

In the end, it was her father who saved her son.

At that time, Luo Yuan was still protecting the second branch of the Luo family.

"Mother, don't dwell on what happened back then. Now that you've divorced Father, let's wipe the slate clean. After all, ignoring them is the most effective way to retaliate against them. Let yourself go."

Seeing the change in his mother's expression, Luo Jingqian knew that she was going to get stuck on something again.

Since her father took over the second wife's lineage, her mother has been depressed and no longer the bright and cheerful Princess Changyun of the past.

It would be a stroke of luck if we could get out of this quagmire of the Luo family.

"Yes, once Mother has recovered from her injuries, she will go to the other residence. Don't worry. Mother still has you all! If it really comes to it, Mother will go to Changxing County to recuperate. Fewer people there have seen Mother and won't gossip about her behind her back."

Princess Jinghe's power was waning, and she was well aware of that.

She didn't want her mother to have to support her when she was already worrying about her father.

Their lineage had long been a source of fear for Emperor Chu Yuan.

This would be a good time to sever ties with the Luo family.

"My lord, Miss Han has sent someone to invite you. They've discovered something there," Qingyun relayed from outside. The mother and son stopped talking about it.

With Qingshan and Qinghe gone, Qingyun, who was protecting Princess Jinghe, followed Luo Jingqian.

Luo Jingqian let someone in, "What's that over there? Something inappropriate?"

"Miss Han said we should go and take a look before deciding what to do." Qingshan didn't know the specifics either.

"Put on the mask and go take a look. There are a lot of people around the manor lately, so be careful. Once Mother's wound heals, she can stay at the other courtyard, and you won't have to travel back and forth anymore," Princess Changyun instructed them before letting them leave.

"Yun'er, come in with your sister, Mother has something to say."

"Mother, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon." Luo Tianyun was using a glass bead to ignite the talisman paper in the nearly midday sun.

The talisman was placed in a bowl and burned to ashes.

"Come on, let's hurry up and fetch water for Mom."

Luo Tianxia stood to the side, looking puzzled. "Big brother, you don't think sister is annoying, so you're using this to quiet her down, do you?"

She was only half right; Han Cuiyin's things were indeed to be used in this way.

The bowl was filled with water, and not a trace of ash was visible.

"Sister Han is truly amazing. I wonder if it will be effective."

Luo Tianxia came over and was also extremely amazed.

"I thought it was just like what those people give out to scam money, but I didn't expect it to be so unusual."

The two sisters had different personalities; Luo Tianyun was lively, while Luo Tianxia was calm and composed. At this moment, the sisters trusted Han Cuiyin even more, because the ashen color on Princess Changyun's face was fading.

"You sisters are young ladies, so it's much easier for you to act in front of Miss Han. Now that your brother has taken a liking to you, you two should also act accordingly..."

Luo Jingqian was unaware that in the short time he had been away, the three of them—mother and daughters—had reached a consensus.

"Miss Han, what happened?" When Luo Jingqian arrived, Han Cuiyin was standing with her back to him by a clump of roses.

"What is this?" When she turned around and saw what she was holding, Luo Jingqian felt a momentary unease.

"This should have been buried by the second branch of the Luo family."

The grayish rectangular wooden plaque in Han Cuiyin's hand was engraved with unknown patterns.

She wrapped it in a handkerchief and did not make direct contact.

"What is this? What is its purpose? Why do I feel dizzy after staring at it for a moment?" Luo Jingqian turned half his body away, no longer looking at the thing.

"Qingyun, destroy it!" Han Cuiyin threw the wooden plaque on the ground and added, "Spiritual energy transforms into fire, which ordinary fire cannot harm."

After giving all these instructions, she led Luo Jingqian to the wooden corridor to avoid the scorching sun.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Life-Saving Talisman. Someone in your family has likely been affected by this spell; be careful. That person is using your family member's skin..."

At first, Luo Jingqian could still listen to what Han Cuiyin was saying, but later his ears kept ringing and he fainted.

"Why are you so fragile? It's just a little trick, why did you faint?" Han Cuiyin said helplessly, taking a hairpin and pricking his pressure points.

"Miss Han, don't worry, he's fine. He just wasn't using an umbrella and got sunburned. He hasn't brought his medication to suppress his illness yet, but he'll be alright in a bit," Qingshan reminded her after finishing dealing with the situation.

"Alright, I'm going back to my room. Make yourselves at home."

Han Cuiyin left without looking back; the wooden sign was destroyed anyway, so nothing more would happen.

Princess Changyun's family should be fine; it's probably someone else who's in trouble.

Qingyun: "......"

On the other hand, the hunters who went into the mountains that morning wandered around a certain place several times like headless flies.

Back in the same spot again, Han Yueshi couldn't help but start to provoke her, "Li Meiyun, did you do this on purpose? If I made you uncomfortable, I would apologize to you. Why make so many girls suffer along with me?"
