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

Frosty mountain, cold pool.

After dealing with the matters between the Luo and Li families, Grand Princess Jinghe immediately came to this villa.

Prince Changping escorted them all the way, but when he saw the Duke of Dingguo's men, his face darkened instantly. "Didn't they clearly refuse when they came to the Princess's residence to beg for help?"

These past few days have been a struggle with the Luo and Li families, and it has taken a lot of effort.

The Li family always appeared glamorous on the outside, but inside they had nothing of value.

Neither the Li family nor the Luo family could find any trace of the things that Xiao Li had swallowed.

The Li family, in particular, is just an empty shell.

Later, Princess Jinghe made an exception and allowed them to use the land deed as collateral, thus ending the matter.

The Luo family wasn't so lucky.

Luo Yuan has disappeared without a trace, General Luo is claiming illness and refusing to see guests, and Little Li is acting erratically, leaving only Li to handle the situation.

Li Shi had been pampered by General Luo for many years, and she was so arrogant that she wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Princess Jinghe took direct action, and Li Shi only learned her lesson after losing two front teeth.

After emptying the Luo family's warehouse, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's jewelry and personal belongings were also taken.

The Luo family is in a better position than the Li family now; at least they have the property deed in hand and won't be kicked out by the Grand Princess.

Prince Changping got into a fight with Lady Li at the Luo family home and was filled with resentment. He considered himself a gentleman and would not fight with a woman.

He was furious when Luo Yuan appeared here.

Luo Yuan's men went to plead with the Grand Princess, but they didn't mention that Luo Yuan was waiting at the Cold Pool.

Princess Jinghe didn't even glance at them, and simply walked around their location.

"Grand Princess, please wait!" the strategist Yin Chang exclaimed. "Please wait! I have something to discuss with you."

"Junior nephew?" Grand Princess Jinghe sneered. "Since you are my junior nephew, you should know our relationship. Do you think you have the nerve to ask for help?"

The niece is naturally considered to be from the perspective of the prince consort, but she knows that many years ago, the people of the Immortal Mountain sent some disciples down the mountain to gain experience.

Before Si Rou divorced Luo Yuan, she might have given Yin Chang a nicer attitude.

Now that the two are divorced, and their family has been wronged by the Luo family, they naturally won't give anyone associated with that family a friendly look.

Yin Chang: "......"

At this point, all we can do is bite the bullet and let others trample on our pride.

“Grand Princess, the Duke of Dingguo is taciturn, there must be a misunderstanding, he has not explained it to the Princess.”

Yin Chang organized his thoughts, but no longer knew how to continue.

The Duke of Dingguo was exceptionally brave on the battlefield, but he was also a detached and stubborn person; how could he possibly fall in love with someone else?

Now that things have come to this, he doesn't know what to do.

"Silent and reserved? I saw him flirting with that Lady Li and he seemed quite happy. Luo Minghan is proof of that. And that Ke Cheng, he was the one who went to Changxing County to deliver beauties to the prefect. Through the prefect, Lady Li must have made a fortune!"

Ke Cheng is Luo Yuan's confidant, and everyone in the capital knows this.

Upon hearing this, Yin Chang's face darkened. "Is that so?"

Ling Ming was startled. "I didn't know."

Lingming and Kecheng were both trusted confidants of the Duke of Dingguo. On the battlefield, the two of them always protected him, so Luo Yuan had no worries.

"You're really putting on an act!" Grand Princess Jinghe sneered. "You can stay and guard it if you want, but I won't save this heartless and ungrateful person."

"Princess, please wait! If it was indeed the Duke who appointed Ke Cheng, then my uncle can perform a soul search, and the truth will be revealed in a single search."

Yin Chang was unwilling to give up so easily, so he stepped forward and blocked the path of Princess Jinghe.

"Soul search? Aren't you afraid Luo Yuan will become an idiot? You know perfectly well that the prince consort wouldn't do such a thing, yet—"

"Mother, let's go! Don't worry about it. You've been busy for days, you should rest!"

Prince Changping stopped him, saying that if things continued like this, who knew how long it would go on? He had already wasted several days with the Luo and Li families, and he really didn't want to continue arguing with people because of Luo Yuan.

Princess Jinghe turned and left.

“Tell me the truth about what the Duke has done all these years.”

Yin Chang returned to the mountain this time for Luo Yuan's health problem. He has made some progress, but he still needs his uncle's help.

Now that things have turned out this way, it's probably not going to work.

Ling Ming looked troubled. "Strategist, I don't know much about the Duke's affairs. Most of the time, Ke Cheng handles them. I've only been by his side for the past two years."

There are some things he can't stop even if he wants to.

He was unaware of the last time he went to the manor to take blood from the prince.

Qingyun then appeared and said, "Let me, an outsider, speak on some matters. We haven't been in the Great Ye Dynasty for long, so I can be more impartial. My junior brother's injuries, both major and minor, are inextricably linked to the second branch of the family."

They searched Fuguang Mountain for a long time before finding some clues.

However, without substantial evidence, they couldn't very well target vulnerable women.

Fu Guangshan valued his junior brother highly, and all the people he sent had good relationships with him.

As bystanders, they had a clearer understanding of the Luo family's affairs than the Luo family and the princess's residence.

They hadn't met the Duke of Dingguo often, and their impression of him was simply that he was serious and dignified.

They were quite familiar with the Li family.

The Luo family was practically being supported by Princess Changyun.

Ke Cheng, who served the Duke of Dingguo, did this without anyone instructing him; no one would believe it if word got out.

Qingyun told him everything he knew, including the numerous assassination attempts in recent years.

The most dangerous time was in the Pinglian Mountains, when hundreds of experts went in to besiege Luo Jingqian.

Upon hearing this, Yin Chang's expression grew increasingly grim. "Send a letter to the border immediately, ordering Ke Cheng to return to the capital."

The investigation in Kecheng needs to be completed, and Luoyuan cannot be abandoned either.

Yin Chang walked towards the cold pool and knelt down with a thud. "I know that Luo Yuan has many faults. I beg you, Uncle, to save his life for the sake of him being the only bloodline descendant of Master."

There was movement at the bottom of the cold pool.

The vortex at the bottom kept swirling upwards, and in the center of the vortex was an ice coffin, which was rushing up from the cold pool.

Seeing this, Yin was overjoyed; Luo Yuan was finally saved.

Out of respect for their master, the uncle-master wouldn't stand idly by.

The commotion in the cold pool naturally alerted the people in the villa, and Princess Jinghe returned after leaving.

“Your father should be much better now! He’s finally made it through those ten years.” Grand Princess Jinghe’s eyes were moist. “If your sister knew, she would finally feel a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.”

Princess Changyun has been burdened with resentment over the years, not only because of the Luo family's affairs, but also because of Geng Rui's suicide by drowning in the cold pool after Luo Jingqian was injured.

Princess Jinghe knew her daughter's worries and tried to comfort her several times, but to no avail.

Fortunately, after the divorce, I went to Changxing County to relax, and I was finally able to let go of some of those things.

"I'll go write to her now, but she'll probably rush back from Changxing County tonight once she finds out." At this moment, Prince Changping couldn't care less about arguing with Yin Chang; both mother and son were immersed in joy.

The ice coffin was propelled from the bottom of the icy pool into the air by the whirlpool before coming to a stop. The moment the silver-haired man emerged from the coffin, his silver hair turned black.
