Princess Jinghe was not in the villa, so this place was much quieter.

"Your Excellency, I don't know either. Young Masters Qingshan and Qinghe went to handle it and haven't returned yet."

After answering, the servant withdrew.

Luo Jingqian wanted to ask some more questions, but these people were only responsible for the daily maintenance of the villa and knew nothing about it, so he had to give up.

After getting ready, Luo Jingqian simply went to Han Cuiyin's courtyard to wait.

Han Cuiyin moved her courtyard to the southernmost part, where it was secluded and nestled against the mountains, making it much quieter.

Occasionally, you can hear birdsong and the sound of a stream, making it a better environment than the front yard.

When Gao Xiaolan saw him enter the courtyard, she came up to him and said, "My lord, the young lady is taking a bath. Please wait outside for a while."

"Alright! Go in and serve her. Your daughter needs to be cleaned properly. I've already asked the kitchen to make her favorite fried anchovies, so tell her not to rush."

After Luo Jingqian finished speaking, he went to wait at the stone table under the flower vine, took out the tea set, and began to brew tea with water from the Qiankun Jade Pot.

Gao Xiaolan stood there, stunned. "How did you know so much, Lord Marquis? The young lady was indeed covered in a layer of black mud."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went into the house. However, Luo Jingqian's hand trembled, and the spiritual spring water in the jade pot accidentally spilled outside.

Can he say that the two of them were practicing almost face-to-face?

Due to societal constraints, these things cannot be spoken aloud.

After Han Cuiyin went into seclusion, he ordered people to renovate the courtyard.

After giving the instructions, he went into seclusion. Unexpectedly, the renovated courtyard was indeed quite nice, resembling a woman's residence.

A clump of canna lilies was growing under the window of the main courtyard, and it was in full bloom.

Further ahead, there is a large patch of roses, in all colors, a riot of color.

The vine he was on had been shaped into a beautiful form by the florist and covered with gauze, providing a perfect spot to cool off and enjoy the flowers.

Luo Jingqian looked around and was very satisfied.

Qingshan and Qinghe finally did something good that he couldn't find fault with.

Gao Xiaolan went back to the main house and waited in the hall. Han Cuiyin didn't like being served while washing up, so she kicked her out.

"Did you give the flower dew to the young lady?" Granny Chu came out from another room, carrying a tray with the dress that Han Cuiyin had changed into.

Gao Xiaolan stepped forward and took the tray. "It was sent in earlier! I don't know if the young lady will like it. The rose perfume has a strong fragrance. The other day when I went to the royal estate, many young ladies from wealthy families had perfumes on them, but none of them smelled as good as the rose perfume."

"The fragrance on those girls is naturally not as good as floral dew! The roses in the girls' courtyard were specially ordered by the Marquis to be transplanted from the Grand Princess's back garden. Those varieties are all top-quality. Ordinary families don't even have a few plants, so they wouldn't be willing to use them to make floral dew. Those girls just use some perfumes from the market on their clothes. How can the fragrance last as long as floral dew?"

Granny Chu had a loud voice, and Gao Xiaolan didn't know why her godmother was acting so strangely today. She tugged at her arm and whispered, "Godmother, the young lady prefers quiet."

Han Cuiyin had just come out of the lotus-shaped space when she heard the conversation between the two. She sighed inwardly, "Why is Luo Jingqian so strange in this life? He goes to great lengths to please me. Could it be that he wants me to cure his illness?"

It took five or six rinses in the air to clean off the black mud clinging to my body. The rose petal dew was indeed effective; I could no longer smell the fishy stench.

This time, the two of them underwent a marrow cleansing process, and there must be a necessary connection between them to cause this result.

However, this reason still needs further investigation.

Fortunately, her cultivation level recovered somewhat, and she was able to completely remove the black energy from her spiritual power.

The door opened a crack, and Han Cuiyin said, "Leave the clothes by the door, and you can comb my hair later."

Gao Xiaolan wanted to take the clothes inside, but was stopped by Granny Chu and left them at the door.

The clothes on the tray flew directly into the room, and the door closed.

When Gao Xiaolan and Granny Chu saw it for the first time, their pupils dilated, and they couldn't believe it at all.

"Is the young lady so capable?" Granny Chu asked in a low voice.

"This is the first time I've seen her like this either. Your martial arts skills are indeed quite good." Gao Xiaolan had only seen her fight in Chang Le County.

Granny Chu instructed, "From now on, do exactly what the young lady tells you to do, and don't act on your own."

Judging from today's situation, Miss Han is no ordinary person.

If the Marquis can truly marry Miss Han, that would be truly fortunate.

Aside from some minor health issues, Luo Jingqian was naturally perfect in her eyes, and the two were a very good match in appearance.

"Come in and comb my hair. Oh, and have someone water the roses in the bath later."

After washing up, Han Cuiyin felt much lighter and more comfortable.

"Is the girl's hair dry?" Gao Xiaolan originally came in with a thick handkerchief to wring out her hair, but she didn't expect that her hair was already dry.

Han Cuiyin leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and casually said, "Hmm, just comb your hair, keep it simple and clean, don't make it too complicated."

She'll go to the manor to see the Yan family in a bit; she doesn't need a complicated hairstyle to make herself suffer.

Granny Chu pushed Gao Xiaolan aside, "Let this old servant do it! The young lady's hair is so black and shiny, a simple tie with a hairband will make it look very neat."

“Light green matches the color of the girl’s clothes,” Gao Xiaolan took two light green hair ribbons from the jewelry box. “The girl looks best in light green.”

“With a face like this, she looks good in anything she wears, even if she's wrapped in a burlap sack.” Granny Chu moved nimbly, her hands flying up and down, and in a short while she had tied up two flower-shaped buns, leaving the rest of her hair loose.

Han Cuiyin's face was as white as jade, without the charcoal powder covering it, making her look like a completely different person.

"That's settled then! I'm going to speak with the Marquis. You don't have to stay cooped up in your rooms every day; you can wander around here."

When Han Cuiyin saw that Gao Xiaolan's face was pale and the calluses on her hands had become thicker, she knew that she had been embroidering clothes for her recently.

She can't fit into all those clothes anymore, and besides, she's still growing. If she grows taller, those clothes won't fit anymore, which would be a waste of their hard work.

Han Cuiyin sat down and casually picked up a cup of tea. "My lord, you seem to be having a very leisurely time here. You've been in seclusion for so many days without attending court?"

She remembered that Luo Jingqian was granted the title of Marquis of Jingyun, and Emperor Chuyuan also gave him an official position.

They were much more comfortable with each other now, and she could treat him with ease.

She's not considering getting married.

"Just a sinecure!" Luo Jingqian poured her another half cup and pushed the freshly fried silver fish in front of her. "By the way, have the Yan family sent you any messages? It seems something has happened."

"Isn't Qingyun here? Even he can't handle it?" Han Cuiyin didn't care. A month ago, she had predicted that the Yan family was a prosperous family.

But when she unconsciously pinched her fingers, her expression suddenly changed.
