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

Han Cuiyin held the jade staff and tapped it rhythmically on the table.

She said nothing, but calmly looked at the people kneeling below.

When Meng Zhiping saw the jade staff again, all his frivolous thoughts vanished.

He had seen how the girl used this thing to clean up Eiji while in the carriage.

Eo-o is a demon, with thick skin and flesh, so its strength goes without saying.

If that jade staff were to fall on him, even ten of him wouldn't be enough to fight him.

Meng Zhiping's sense of awe deepened, and this time he completely gave up struggling.

He accepted his fate.

"Miss and Lord Marquis, please ask whatever you wish to know!"

There were only the three of them in the room.

"Your concubine is named Lianji. Do you know who is behind her? Tell me everything that has happened to her since she came to Changxing County!" Han Cuiyin asked first about Lianji.

Eo is a demon, and so is Reihime.

Why would they so easily take a liking to a prefect?

What gives Madam Luo, the Second Madam Li, the right to control them?

She believed some of what Wang Juncheng said, but she still needed to verify the rest with Meng Zhiping and Huiwei.

Meng Zhiping glanced subtly at Luo Jingqian and asked:

"Who proposed the divorce between the Princess and the Duke?"

"What does Lianji's matter have to do with this?" Han Cuiyin had no good feelings towards Luo Yuan. Princess Changyun had been good to her in both her past and present lives, so she naturally sided with her former mother-in-law.

Luo Jingqian was also dissatisfied, "Don't try anything funny, you're talking about Lian Ji!"

He also didn't want his parents to become the subject of gossip.

Meng Zhiping flinched and said loudly, "Actually, Lianji was indeed sent from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. The princess just didn't know. The person who came was Ke Cheng, the Duke's bodyguard."

"It was him! And it has nothing to do with Madam Luo the Second?" Luo Jingqian couldn't believe it.

Six years ago, my father had just returned to the capital in triumph, and the deputy general accompanying him was Ke Cheng.

Ke Cheng's father was a close attendant to General Luo, and Ke Cheng served his father from a young age.

Luo Jingqian's face darkened instantly. "Are you sure?"

What did the father want to do, having started planning six years ago?

Han Cuiyin also had doubts, "Could it be that Madam Luo is acting in the name of the Duke?"

Meng Zhiping did not back down at all. "I don't know, but I have the Duke of Dingguo's token. Also, is Ke Cheng nine feet tall and a big, dark-faced man?"

By this point, they had no choice but to believe it.

Meng Zhiping then talked about many other things.

All of this stemmed from his actions after Lianji arrived.

For the first two years, nothing much happened; he simply collected some medicinal herbs from the Pinglian Mountains. Later, his parents suddenly passed away, and he began to indulge himself, partly due to Lianji's instigation.

Upon hearing this, the two men felt even more contempt for the man who had rejected his wife.

Han Cuiyin was still worried. "Meng Zhiping, after we finish interrogating Huiwei, if it's the same as what you said, I might spare your life."

Meng Zhiping relaxed and completely fainted.

Little did they know, he had been putting on a brave face just now.

He wouldn't have said these shameful things if he wasn't afraid of implicating his family.

"Don't move him yet. I need to search his soul to see if he's holding anything back." Han Cuiyin stopped Luo Jingqian from picking him up.

"Soul searching? Isn't this method forbidden?" Luo Jingqian exclaimed in surprise. "The person whose soul is searched will become stupid, and in severe cases, they will die. Cuiyin, are you... are you sure it won't affect you?"

"Of course not, it's just reading his memories, it won't hurt him! The Leaf Village doesn't allow it, you can only blame your lack of skill."

Han Cuiyin didn't pay any attention.

She placed her hand on Meng Zhiping's head, and all of his memories were read and displayed on the screen.

This was the first time Luo Jingqian had ever seen such an unbelievable method; no one in the Leaf Village could use it.

The story of Meng Zhiping from childhood to adulthood is presented in the book.

"You take a break, I'll keep an eye on things. There are some things a young lady should avoid."

Meng Zhiping and Lian Ji's antics are truly an eyesore for him.

Han Cuiyin smiled and said, "It's alright, those matters between men and women have all been dealt with."

She had already skimmed through the memories when she retrieved them, so looking at them again now was just to find useful clues.

Besides, she used this method to deal with people quite a bit back in the Immortal Realm.

She had witnessed almost all kinds of love affairs, including those between humans, between different races, and across species, all with Qingyun.

Meng Zhiping and Lian Ji are nothing compared to this.

When Meng Zhiping handed the two treasure bags to Lianji, the two women's expressions hardened, and their previous gentleness vanished as they looked at the person lying on the ground.

"This Meng Zhiping, how dare he! He actually concealed something." Luo Jingqian was about to make a move when he was stopped.

"No need to get your hands dirty. Lock him up with Ei-o tomorrow." Han Cuiyin said with a sneer. "You're really confident. You're old and ugly. You really think Lian-ji would even look at you? She just used illusion magic to make you run around in circles. Luckily, you had a backup plan, otherwise Lian-ji would have taken all these things to the capital."

Luo Jingqian said expressionlessly, "Little Li's reach is really far. In previous years, Meng Zhiping actually intercepted some of those things and sent them to the Luo residence."

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. I will send a message to Qingyun. Since Lianji has gone to the capital, it will not be difficult for him to lead your fellow disciples to intercept her."

Han Cuiyin reached out, and the butterfly landed on her fingertips.

"Not only the Luo family, but also the place where the Yun Kingdom envoys are staying. Have them split into two groups, and if Lian Ji appears, be sure to capture her!"

Luo Jingqian had witnessed the subtle exchanges between Luo Yuan and the Yun people at the palace banquet, which led to his idea.

Han Cuiyin did as instructed, and Luo Jingqian carried Meng Zhiping out the door.

On the other end of the Spirit Butterfly's channel, Qingyun was calling her "Grandma," saying that his fellow disciples might not be a match for the thousand-year-old demon!

After he gathered his men and stationed them at the residences of the Luo family and the Yun Kingdom envoys, Han Cuiyin finally had time to talk to Liu Min.

Liu Min has a room to herself, and now she tosses and turns in bed, unable to fall asleep.

"Liu Min, what is it?"

Liu Min got up, put on an outer robe, and said, "Fairy, thanks to your booklet, I got an excellent grade in the first test!"

For this selection, three matrons were responsible for examining their bodies.

Two of them kept causing her trouble.

She guessed that an empress was going to make a move against her, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

If they fail at this hurdle, it will be difficult for the Liu family's daughters to get married in the future.

In the end, she managed to fool the three of them by following the instructions in the booklet, and thus passed the test smoothly, even receiving an excellent grade.

"That's normal! Your good days are yet to come."

Han Cuiyin patiently listened to her finish speaking, gave her a few casual words of advice, and then cut off the contact.

After Liu Min became a favored concubine, she had easier access to information from within the palace.

Screams came from the next room, and Han Cuiyin quickened her pace.

Luo Jingqian acted so quickly, did he really lock that human and demon together?

When she arrived there, she saw Meng Zhiping chasing after Huiwei, yelling, "You two vixens, die!"
