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

I'm very lucky tonight.

The moon remained partially obscured throughout, constantly shrouded in dark clouds.

Han Cuiyin led the six of them out without alerting anyone.

"You all go wait at the east gate. Be careful not to get spotted. I'll take care of those who arrested you!"

"Arrest us?" Gao Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, "People from the Prefectural Governor's Office?"

During the day, she learned that the person who wanted her was not the playboy he appeared to be, but the good prefect the people spoke of, and her heart remained in suspense.

Prefect Lu Cheng was no ordinary man; he had an older sister who was a concubine in the palace.

As midnight approached, Han Cuiyin still hadn't called them. Gao Xiaolan assumed that her newly recognized master had given in and that the Han family was going to send her to the prefect's mansion.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to go to sleep, Han Cuiyin arrived.

At that moment, Gao Xiaolan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It should be! That Li Ermi said a lot to the prefect, and he's here for you. Don't let these children make a sound, otherwise I'll be powerless to save you. As you know, two Innate Realm experts have already arrived, and I wonder what will happen!"

After Han Cuiyin gave her a few pointers, Gao Xiaolan understood. "Don't worry, Miss. If our family can escape successfully, we will definitely do our best to be loyal to our master from now on."

There is a great risk tonight.

Widow Gao carried her youngest daughter on her back, while her three sons followed hand in hand.

"Girl, be careful! Don't give yourself away, or the Han family will start to have second thoughts."

Widow Gao gave a few instructions.

Han Cuiyin's background also spread throughout Chang Le County.

Zhang, the old woman serving Princess Jialuo, couldn't swallow her anger. After inquiring about the Han family's search for someone a few days ago, she learned about Han Cuiyin's identity.

Princess Mingxia's people used underhanded methods, so Princess Jialuo naturally had to retaliate.

None of this escaped Widow Gao's ears; she used to earn money at the docks, where she was the most well-informed.

“Young lady, we are waiting for you in Ping’an Lane in the capital. We hope you will return soon.”

Widow Gao was not worried about Han Cuiyin's safety at all. She was skilled in martial arts and quite strong at it. As long as she didn't get involved in the affairs of Area 3, she would be perfectly safe.

“Good, you don’t panic in a crisis. I didn’t misjudge you! You guys go first, I’ll be right back.”

Han Cuiyin was still quite satisfied with their performance.

These people are much better than the people Princess Mingxia assigned to her in her previous life.

With proper guidance, she can live a comfortable life in the future without worrying about these people betraying her.

You should know that she had never enjoyed a life with a large retinue of servants.

In every lifetime, I am alone.

After they parted ways, Han Cuiyin went directly to the woodshed where guests had arrived.

"Where is he? He's gone! Han Song is playing us!" Li Ermi and his group found nothing.

"Boss, didn't you say that the steward of the prefectural governor's mansion contacted Steward Han, and that he had already given his consent, so we could take the men and leave tonight? This isn't just fooling the prefectural governor's mansion!"

The nine men that Li Ermi brought with him were all subordinates he had recently recruited.

They've gotten used to throwing their weight around lately, and after suffering a loss at Widow Gao's hands, they're all looking to get their revenge.

If that dark-faced girl hadn't been unable to move, they wouldn't have swallowed their anger.

That day, it was the dark-faced girl who stood up for the Gao family. Otherwise, if they had captured the widow and her son, Gao Xiaolan would have obediently submitted, and they could have sent her to the prefect's mansion and received a large reward.

These people had been secretly helping the prefect collect beauties, but unfortunately they failed with Li Ermi.

"You're all seasoned veterans, and you can't even handle Gao Xiaolan? Be careful, or I'll talk to your brother-in-law—"

Before Li Ermi could finish speaking, he collapsed and fainted, shocking his subordinates.

"Boss! Who is it! Come out! Don't play tricks, we've got blood on our hands, we're not afraid!"

The person who had just spoken to Li Ermi dared not shout loudly, but could only vent their fear in a low voice.

"I am the guardian deity of the Guest Inn. Tell me, why have you come here?"

Han Cuiyin lowered her voice, but just one sentence was enough to frighten these people, and everything spilled out like beans.

After learning the whole story, she initially wanted to let them go, but instead she decided to kill them.

After knocking all nine people unconscious, Han Cuiyin made sure they wouldn't wake up and then casually tossed them into the nine-hole jade lotus pod.

As for Li Ermi, Han Cuiyin kicked him a few times, "Wake up, do you want to save your sister? I am the guardian of Youkelai Inn. Tell us about your siblings and the bad things those nine people did, sign and put your fingerprints, and your sister will be fine."

Li Ermi couldn't see anyone and had already taken it seriously. "May the gods protect us, my brother and I are suffering!"

Han Cuiyin, hidden in the shadows, listened to him speak while writing furiously. Then, a piece of paper floated to Li Ermi's side. "Sign and put your fingerprint on it!"

After everything was over, Han Cuiyin lightly tapped the air, and Li Ermi fainted.

After doing all that, she went to the east gate of the city.

The Gao family had been waiting for a while. Except for the widow Gao's daughter, who was asleep, everyone else was nervously looking around.

"She's here!" Gao Xiaolan, with her sharp eyes, recognized Han Cuiyin at a glance.

"Young lady, the city gates are under strict guard. They patrol every fifteen minutes. We... I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to get out!" Widow Gao said with some worry.

It was no easy task for the six of them to avoid alerting the city guards.

"It's alright! After you go out, go to the dock. There's a ship heading towards the capital that will depart early tomorrow morning. Once you're inside, don't come out easily."

This was prepared for herself.

If she couldn't find the Han family, she planned to go to the capital herself.

At that time, the gathering had not been thought of, which was convenient for the Gao family. They were in a private room without having to worry.

After the next shift changed, Han Cuiyin carried one member of the Gao family in each hand and used the city wall as leverage to jump over.

It took three trips to finally get everyone out.

The two sons of the widow looked at her with bright eyes, showing no signs of Gao Xiaolan's vomiting.

"Want to learn?" Han Cuiyin guessed what they were thinking. "Then do your job well. If you perform well, I can teach you."

"Hurry up and thank the young lady."

Widow Gao naturally knows its value, and if her husband were here, she would be happy too.

To receive guidance from an expert is truly a blessing from one's ancestors.

"This pouch contains what you need to do. Have a safe journey. No matter what happens, staying alive is the most important thing!" Han Cuiyin took out the pouch after seeing them off to the dock.

"Rest assured, Master! We will act within our capabilities."

After seeing the person off, the sky brightened.

Han Cuiyin breathed a sigh of relief after the boat had sailed away.

She secretly entered the city, and the person inside the nine-hole jade lotus pod was also hung on the city wall.

Before she could put the written statement away, several figures flew over from the north.

not good!

Han Cuiyin simply took their confessions in her hand and collapsed at the foot of the city wall.

"We chased him here, but he's already dead. He's probably escaped again!" Mo Changdao stopped on the city wall. "Who knows what kind of trouble this will cause in the future!"

"Brother Changdao, I don't think so! Look at what's hanging on the city wall."

These two were the first to arrive, followed by several other figures.

"There's still someone lying here. Could the bead be hidden on one of them?"

Han Cuiyin was completely confused, only guessing that something must have happened.

Otherwise, why would all these experts have come here?

She couldn't help but feel relieved that she had sent the Gao family away. She was alone and powerless, and it wouldn't have been easy for her to find suitable servants.

"Oh ho, it's that dark-skinned girl again! Old Mo, could that bead be hidden on her? She was there at Changji Village before. Nobody knows how she left afterwards."

Han Cuiyin dared not utter a sound, but could only curse inwardly: "You persistent ghost! No wonder you died young in your previous life."
