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

Princess Yunxiu fought two battles in a row without any rest.

Han Yueshi, who is usually gentle and understanding, seems not to have noticed this problem.

She was provoked, and rushed forward when Princess Yunxiu appeared.

After the three girls from the Great Ye Dynasty came in, Princess Yunxiu divided them into three areas.

None of the three could see each other, nor did they know how the other was fighting Princess Yunxiu.

Han Yueshi didn't know Han Lingzhi's actual strength; her impression of her was still based on last year.

Little did they know that while Han Yueshi was constantly attending parties and socializing with other girls, Han Lingzhi was putting aside all external affairs and focusing on practicing martial arts.

Sometimes, he would even stay at the Xu Prince's Mansion for a few days.

With the old prince's constant guidance and the martial arts instructors at the Xu Prince's residence treating her well, her martial arts skills steadily improved.

Around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, Han Lingzhi broke through to the Xu Prince's Mansion.

During the Ghost Festival, he reached the peak of intermediate martial artist. With some more time to accumulate experience, breaking through to advanced martial artist is just around the corner.

Initially, Han Lingzhi intended to conceal her talents, but in this life she changed her mind and no longer wanted to go to Yun Kingdom.

The emperor of Yun Kingdom did treat her well, but he was more interested in power and obsessed with expanding his territory.

She disliked that kind of life filled with anxiety.

Therefore, her plan coincided with Han Yueshi's original plan.

However, this blood-red bead gave her absolutely no chance to conceal her strength.

Luo Tianyun was thrown out in a very short time, and Princess Yunxiu arrived at Luo Tianyun's place before she had recovered.

As soon as the two clashed, Han Lingzhi knew that she would probably be exposed today.

Sure enough, even if she wanted to pretend to lose, she couldn't.

She used her moves without even realizing it.

Later, their fight became even more intense.

It's a shame she's so healthy; she didn't even have a chance to faint if she wanted to pretend to lose.

It took them almost an hour to finish.

However, to those outside, at most half an hour had passed.

"The time inside is wrong?" Han Cuiyin had been paying attention to Han Lingzhi, noticing that she was staring at the timer. "Does time pass quickly inside?"

Han Lingzhi ignored Princess Mingxia's praise and instead turned to speak to Han Cuiyin, "That's really not right. We fought for about an hour, but less than half an hour has passed outside. It's truly amazing."

"What's it like inside? Could you tell me?" Han Cuiyin asked curiously. From the outside, she could only see them fighting, and their voices were not clearly audible. Some scenes were even blurry.

Princess Mingxia was furious when she saw that her second daughter ignored her and chatted happily with the abandoned woman's daughter. "Everyone is worried about your sister, and you still have the mind to chat. So many important people are watching. Do you want to disgrace the Han family?"

Han Lingzhi opened her mouth as if to speak, but then swallowed her words and only said to Han Cuiyin, "I will tell you in detail later."

Aside from a ridiculous dream she had last year that gave her some prejudice against Han Cuiyin, after spending a few time together, she actually developed a fondness for this older sister who came from another place.

At least, this older sister who came along later in life won't suddenly attack someone from behind.

Han Cuiyin nodded and began to mock Princess Mingxia, "In the end, the flowers that some people carefully cultivate are not as good as the grass that is never cared for. I don't know what some people are thinking, but I feel sorry for the grass."

Anyone with eyes can see the true status of Han Yueshi and Han Lingzhi in the Han family.

Princess Mingxia cannot treat everyone equally; she should just wait for the backlash!

Han Lingzhi was helpless. This older sister who came halfway through her life was not someone to be trifled with. With just a few words, she had provoked her mother's anger, and in the end, it would be her, the second legitimate daughter, who would suffer.

Although both were legitimate daughters of Princess Mingxia, she was far inferior to her eldest sister, and only slightly better off than the legitimate daughters of the second and third wives.

Aside from being favored by the elders in the Xu Prince's Mansion, no one in the Han family paid her any attention.

"Second Miss, I'm going to change my clothes. Do you want to come with me?" Han Cuiyin didn't bother to look at Han Yueshi. This person's methods were similar to Lian Yao's. It was only a matter of time before she won. Anyway, she couldn't hide her strengths in the bead.

Han Lingzhi ignored the sudden drop in Princess Mingxia's face and readily agreed, "I'm all sweaty and really need to freshen up, Sister Cuiyin, let's go!"

That "sister" made Han Cuiyin feel dazed.

In her previous life, only this second daughter had ever called her "elder sister".

The two walked hand in hand, and Princess Mingxia's face turned completely cold. "This Cuiyin, she really doesn't understand the rules of a wealthy family. How can she be so free in the palace? What will the masters think of her!"

Han Zhen ignored it completely, focusing intently on the situation inside the bead.

As Han Cuiyin had predicted, Han Yueshi was indeed firmly in the lead.

Even when she was at a disadvantage, she could quickly adjust and regain control of Princess Yunxiu.

"Yueshi has learned some excellent martial arts skills. As her mother, you know nothing about your daughter. You'll have to put more effort into raising her in the future."

Han Zhen was as dejected as he was before, but now he was as smug as he was now.

He originally thought that his two daughters were destined to be cannon fodder. If they couldn't win, they wouldn't be able to win back the treasure of the Great Ye Dynasty, and he would definitely be outshone by others in front of Emperor Chu Yuan.

These days, Zidane has just been promoted and seems to be showing signs of the same favor he had with Emperor Chuyuan back in the day.

Having spent many years navigating the complexities of officialdom, Han Zhen had a thorough understanding of Emperor Chu Yuan, and naturally knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment.

After this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he was prepared to be neglected by the emperor, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and his two legitimate daughters proved to be so capable.

Han Lingzhi was skilled in martial arts, which he already knew. His father-in-law preferred this second daughter and had informed him about teaching her some martial arts.

Now, this eldest daughter of the legitimate wife makes him look at her with even greater admiration.

This child usually appears gentle and mild-mannered, but when she fought Princess Yunxiu, she was even more formidable than the legitimate second daughter, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood.

Han Zhen had no doubt about where Han Yueshi learned her martial arts skills, and kept calculating what benefits the two legitimate daughters could bring him.

Han Yueshi, on the other hand, naturally knew that if she didn't win, she would have no future.

For some unknown reason, the second prince suddenly asked to marry his sister. As for the third prince, she had no desire to marry him again, so she could only go to Yun Kingdom and think of another way later.

She noticed something strange about the bead.

Princess Yunxiu seemed tireless, benefiting from the bead.

No one noticed the black energy in Han Yueshi's hand. She used the black energy to absorb the blood-red gas from the bead. Whenever she was at a disadvantage, as long as the black energy merged with the red gas, she would be at an advantage.

Princess Yunxiu naturally sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to admit defeat.

The two of them came out at the same time.

"This is my future sister-in-law!" Princess Yunxiu was very respectful to Han Yueshi, and immediately established their relationship to avoid Emperor Chuyuan changing his mind.

In her opinion, her sister-in-law, who was strong in combat, was more valuable than that useless treasure.

Han Yueshi won, but when she came out, she found that no one was amazed.

Little did she know that with Han Lingzhi's outstanding achievements as a precedent, no matter how capable she was, she would only be so-so in the eyes of others.

"I wonder what my older sister will do to trip me up when we get back!" Han Lingzhi sighed, looking helpless.
