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

Luo Jingqian went to the Luo family residence but did not find any trace of Luo Yuan.

Qingyun is right, his father really did leave last night, but he doesn't know what his situation is now.

Just as Luo Jingqian left the Luo family, Lady Li returned from the palace.

"You jinx! Ever since you started showing up, nothing good has happened! You bring bad luck to your father, mother, and brothers, why don't you just die!"

Having lost her imperial title and her money, Little Li was driven to madness.

She pulled out the hairpin from her hand and stabbed it hard into Luo Jingqian's chest.

"If you die, Minghan will live! If you die, Brother Yuan will devote more attention to us, mother and son! If you die..."

The commotion alerted the Luo family.

General Luo roared, "Stop! How dare you, an elder, lay a hand on your nephew! What kind of behavior is this!"

Luo Jingqian ignored them, snatched the hairpin, and knocked Xiao Li unconscious.

Little Li knew some martial arts, but not much. She could gain the upper hand when fighting ordinary women, but she couldn't get the better of Luo Jingqian at all.

"Third brother, come back!"

The third master of the Luo family wanted to make a move against Luo Jingqian, but General Luo stopped him in time.

General Luo's other two illegitimate sons were not in the mansion.

Third Master Luo said bitterly:

“We’re all family, is it necessary to be so ruthless? It’s just that he took some things from Changxing County. We’re all from the Luo family, it doesn’t matter who uses them! Even if my elder brother finds out, he won’t stop it. He wants the Luo family to prosper the most! You, a junior, actually lay a hand on your elders.”

Madam Li, feeling sorry for her niece lying on the ground, immediately sent people to carry her back to the house.

With Third Master Luo taking the lead, Old Madam Luo naturally wouldn't fall behind. "That's right! So many cousins ​​will be your support in the future! If you don't have any children, we can just adopt one to carry on the family name. They'll all be family sooner or later, so why be so calculating!"

After thinking it over, General Luo realized that what Li said seemed to make sense, and he looked at Luo Jingqian expectantly.

"Ha! What audacity!" Grand Princess Jinghe entered from outside. "How dare you covet my grandson's estate!"

When the Luo family saw Princess Jinghe enter, they hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

Only Lady Li was oblivious to the situation. After a perfunctory bow, she approached before the Grand Princess could even call her, saying, "Mother-in-law, we're all family, why be so formal! Changxing County—"

"Get out of my way! Who said we're related by marriage!"

As soon as the Grand Princess finished speaking, she slapped Li Shi across the face, and Li Shi collapsed unconscious, with several bloody teeth scattered on the ground.

Granny Gu quickly pinched her philtrum, and the maids and servants beside her did not dare to stop her at all.

"The Grand Princess didn't use much force, so Madam Luo can't pretend to faint and blame my master."

When no one was looking, Granny Gu secretly hid a silver needle between her fingers and stabbed it into Li Shi's body.

The Luo family did not notice these actions.

"Rise! General Luo, in consideration of your life-and-death service to the Great Ye Dynasty, I will allow you to hand over the embezzled goods of Madam Luo in batches. General Luo has spent half his life on the battlefield, I believe he will not renege on his debts."

Grand Princess Jinghe gave Li a cold look. "Agu, let's go! Qian'er, give those lists to your grandfather. The Luo family has a pure and upright family tradition, but they didn't marry a virtuous wife. What a misfortune for the family!"

The group left, leaving the Luo family members with changing expressions.

"Grandmother, do you know where my father went?" Luo Jingqian still had things to tell Luo Yuan, and he didn't want to let Xiao Li Shi off so easily.

Grand Princess Jinghe nodded, "You go back there first and help your mother stabilize the situation. I've already spoken with the Emperor about the appointment and removal of officials in Changxing County; from now on, your mother will be in charge of selecting officials. These are the people who reported for duty last month and haven't been transferred yet. Let your mother choose a few from among them..."

Princess Changyun was favored from a young age, and her parents always put her first.

After Luo Jingqian put it away, he said, "Grandmother, I'll take you back to Qingshuang Mountain."

"Not for now! I'll be staying in the capital for the next two days, so don't try to fool your grandfather!" Grand Princess Jinghe looked down on General Luo.

General Luo was a hero in the eyes of others, but to her, he was nothing more than a fool.

The eldest son, who was perfectly well-behaved, was driven away by Li Shi's machinations. He was then forced by her to accept the lineage of the second wife and marry a younger Li Shi.

If Luo Yuan hadn't been targeted by demons, he probably would have parted ways with the Luo family long ago.

These things are not easy to discuss with my grandson; I can only talk about them when I see Luo Yuan.

Little Li was using her daughter's things to support a lover, and she was the first to object.

This matter won't be easily resolved.

She concealed some details from Emperor Chu Yuan this time. If this comes to light later, neither the Li family nor the Luo family will have an easy time.

"Go back to the Princess's residence! With your uncle here, no one can dare to act presumptuously in front of me." Grand Princess Jinghe was still worried about her daughter and urged Luo Jingqian to go back.

When Luo Jingqian returned to Changxing County, the entrance to the county princess's mansion became lively.

Princess Changyun and Han Cuiyin were busy all night, and both of them took a nap in their room.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Luo Jingqian came out of the room, somewhat displeased. "My mother and Cuiyin are resting. Don't let anyone disturb them."

Qingshan and Qinghe were cultivators; after drinking several cups of spiritual wine, they did not rest.

“They are members of the Han family and the Third Prince’s men. They were making a fuss about seeing Miss Han, so I had my men keep them outside,” Qingshan answered first.

When Luo Jingqian was not present, Luo Jingqian handled all the affairs of the Changxing County Princess's residence.

"What are those people doing coming up here? They all seem to want to devour Cuiyin whole. Just ignore them and send them away!"

Luo Jingqian did not have a good impression of these people.

"Is it the same with the Third Prince? After all, they are related by blood. It would be a bit unreasonable if the Princess didn't see her juniors."

Qingshan did not mention the Han family; for these people to see Miss Cuiyin would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

How could these people not know about the messy affairs of the Han family?

In particular, Qinghe told him yesterday when he returned that the old lady of the Han family became somewhat strange when she saw Cuiyin, who was wearing a green dress, as if she was afraid and horrified.

The fact that the Han family was once targeted by unclean things seems to have some basis in reality.

This must have been done by Miss Cuiyin.

Following Luo Jingqian's instructions, Qingshan went out to deal with the servants of these people.

"Junior brother," Qinghe crept over, rubbing his hands together, "Junior brother, let me ask you, was Lianji captured by those fellow disciples?"

“Lianji is in the Longevity Diagram, I captured her.” Luo Jingqian said calmly, “Don’t even think about giving this nine-tailed fox to Hongshan.”

"It's just Miss Cuiyin's fox. You're being so nice to a three-tailed fox. She's just a little fox, why would she need two demon cores?" Qinghe muttered, somewhat displeased.

"Don't think about shortcuts. The spiritual power you cultivate is the only real ability! The energy of the demon core is violent. Aren't you afraid?" Luo Jingqian ignored him and went back to his room to rest.

In the afternoon, the noise at the entrance of the princess's mansion grew even louder.
