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

Changxing County, the residence of the county magistrate.

"Hahaha~ You really have a way with things!" Princess Changyun was genuinely happy to hear that those people had been sent away.

This is her territory. If these people still cause trouble, don't blame her for being impolite.

"The old lady was worried about her son's reputation, so naturally she wouldn't let Han Yueshi provoke him. As for the Third Prince, he's a member of the royal family and values ​​his reputation the most. He was infatuated with Han Yueshi before, but he didn't expect her to be this kind of person. Naturally, he wished he could turn back time and sever all ties with her."

Han Cuiyin's quick wit is relative; Qingyun's eloquence is more agile, and she can rattle off a string of words that leave you speechless.

She prefers to take direct action.

Faced with absolute power, no matter how strong your background is, you wouldn't dare to confront them head-on.

She is seen as a tough nut to crack by others.

A spoiled male cultivator with a Nascent Soul stage cultivation level behind him coveted her beauty. At that time, her strength was weak, and it took her some effort to deal with the male cultivator.

This matter was only exposed after she reached the Golden Core stage, which led to her being hunted down by that Nascent Soul cultivator.

That battle also made her famous in the world of immortality.

Tomorrow is August 30th, and they are going to the Pinglian Mountains.

It would be best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Luo Jingqian was busy by himself until late at night.

"The problems here have been mostly resolved. The new prefect will arrive in about ten days. As for whether or not to replace that Prefect Wang, it depends on my mother's opinion."

He rubbed his temples, having finished dealing with the problems in Changxing County. In three or four hours, he would be heading to Yanjia Village in Changye Town.

"The Third Prince and his entourage are ignoring this? If they knew what happened in Changxing County, they might have other ideas."

Qingshan is not Qinghe; he knows quite a bit about the affairs of the Daye Dynasty.

The second and third princes have been granted titles, but the official ranks have not yet been bestowed. Everyone is still calling them "Second Prince" and "Third Prince."

The fact that the Second Prince was tasked with handling the flood in Changyong County was an opportunity for him to earn merit, so that he could be given a respectable title upon his return.

With the Xu family as his backing, the Third Prince could obtain a decent title without needing to perform any merits.

Although the two brothers didn't openly fall out this time, the thorn in their hearts won't disappear anytime soon.

"Ignore them! So what if they covet Changxing County? This fiefdom was chosen by my maternal grandfather and bestowed upon my mother by the Emperor. As long as my maternal grandfather is alive, the Emperor will not act rashly."

Luo Jingqian didn't care.

No matter how much trouble those people cause, it's useless; Emperor Chu Yuan has too many things to consider.

“If those people come to the door again, I will drive them away immediately and not let them come to the princess’s presence.”

Qingshan solemnly promises.

They came to the Daye Dynasty from Fuguang Mountain. Princess Changyun treated them very well. The four of them, who were nominally guards, actually lived better than some young masters from noble families.

Princess Changyun was like a mother to them.

If the Third Prince truly harbors any ill intentions, he and Qinghe will not hesitate to act without restraint, for Fuguang Mountain is not one to be trifled with.

"Consort Xu sent the Third Prince to search for medicine in the Pinglian Mountains. I'm afraid that in the end, Cuiyin and I will have to meet him in the Pinglian Mountains again."

Even if something happens, as long as he denies it to the death, Consort Xu will be powerless to stop him.

Consort Xu's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly woke up with a start.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" The palace maid on night watch draped a quilted cloak over Consort Xu and then brought her a cup of warm water.

Consort Xu's hands were icy cold. "Has there been any news from Cun'er? We shouldn't have let him go with the Second Prince in the first place! The Second Prince is petty and narrow-minded. If Cun'er gets secretly instigated by him and causes some trouble, neither I nor the Xu family can help him."

Her great-uncle only had eyes for that woman. To allow her to focus on her pregnancy, he disappeared after the palace banquet without telling the Xu family where he was going.

The letter simply stated that the maid named Da Ni would become his second wife, and the child in her womb would be his legitimate child.

My great-uncle was actually on guard to this extent.

Putting the Xu family aside for now, if her son is really in danger, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous if they couldn't find Zeng Shuzu Cun'er?

"Summon my mother to the palace tomorrow!" Consort Xu became increasingly worried. She was determined to find her great-uncle's whereabouts and to properly restrain the Xu family.

"Your Highness, the preliminary selection is still underway. You just summoned the Old Madam in, and who knows what rumors will follow. You already have enough filth on your hands, if..." The palace maid looked worried.

These past two days have been the selection process. Although most of the girls are born out of wedlock, their families are quite powerful.

In case these people misunderstand...

Consort Xu also thought of this, but she just snorted coldly, "Do I have to avoid their limelight after climbing to this position? There's no need to worry about so much! Even the Empress can't say anything, and Consort Rui's family sends people to the palace every day."

For Cun'er's safety, she couldn't care less about anything else.

If anyone is truly blind, she has no choice but to expose the scandalous affair between the First Prince and Consort Rui.

"Do you think Cun'er has already reached the Pinglian Mountains? If I were to order him back to the capital, could I possibly summon him back? Could the letter be delivered to him within three days?"

The palace lanterns were lit, filling the room with light, which shone on Consort Xu's face, making her look much gentler.

"I'm afraid that won't work! I reckon the Third Prince has already gone into the mountains. It's said that it's very easy to get lost there, and it's difficult for ordinary people to find their way."

Upon hearing this, Consort Xu felt even more wide awake. "I shouldn't have let Cun'er take such a risk just because of a petty argument!"

With such a huge handle on her, she's sure to have a wonderful life from now on.

Unlike Consort Xu, who was filled with melancholy, Han Cuiyin was extremely happy.

"Keep a close eye on your eldest granddaughter from now on! If she causes me any more trouble, I'll come to your dreams and make you suffer!"

Han Cuiyin, still dressed in a green dress, stood with her hands on her hips watching as Old Madam Han was struck by lightning.

Madam Han trembled, not daring to utter a sound.

This granddaughter who came along halfway through her life is more terrifying than a monster!

She got punished again this time, all because of that girl Yue Shi.

She said she would go straight back to Hanjiacun Village in Changye Town.

If she had listened to her, she wouldn't have suffered like this! Moreover, her eldest son's reputation was almost ruined by this girl during the day.

Madam Han was initially only angry with Han Cuiyin, but now she is even angrier with Han Yueshi and Princess Mingxia.

Like mother, like daughter! This eldest granddaughter's desire to marry into the Second Prince's household is simply wishful thinking.

Putting aside the fact that she is about to go to Yun Kingdom to become the Empress, just based on the fact that the Second Prince is fond of Lingzhi, she, as the older sister, should not interfere.

Madam Han's dislike for Han Yueshi reached an unprecedented level, even more so than her dislike for Han Cuiyin.

After dealing with Old Madam Han, Han Cuiyin went to the Third Prince's dream.

This time, she did not use the Dream Thunder Punishment, but instead recounted Han Yueshi's life over the years in the Third Prince's dream.

Having revealed Han Yueshi's true colors, she refused to believe that the Third Prince could still be attracted to a woman with a heart of stone.

The next day.

Han Cuiyin was still asleep when something was jumping around on her face.

Helplessly grabbing at him, he said, "I know you're back, so shut up."
