Han Cuiyin gave Luo Jingqian a big smile and quickly searched for how the concubine daughters of the Han family had acted in her previous life.

With a dark face, she feigned a shy expression and said, "Thank you so much, young master!"

Luo Jingqian quickly looked away, unable to bear to look.

They were just listening to what had just happened—the so-called guardian spirit of the Guest Inn.

The idea of ​​gods appearing is just a way to fool ordinary people.

It's all being manipulated by people behind the scenes.

Luo Jingqian already had a guess about the Gao family's whereabouts, but the necklace was what worried him.

"Young master, what happened? Why are you all here? If it weren't for you, I, a weak woman, would be in danger."

Han Cuiyin gently placed the back of her right hand under her chin, as if she was dizzy, and leaned towards Luo Jingqian.

"What are you doing! If you're sleepy, go back to sleep. Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror? Stop fantasizing about people you shouldn't be fantasizing about!"

The Fourth Prince tapped Han Cuiyin's shoulder with his folding fan, signaling her to stay away from Luo Jingqian.

Han Cuiyin: Bah!

She sold her body but got nothing in return, only disdain and contempt.

How did those sisters in their past lives manage to get what they wanted?

However, with the Fourth Prince speaking up, she decided to back down and avoid being interrogated by these people.

"Let's go, I'm heading back anyway!"

"You stay and help out." The fourth prince refused; the two seniors had left, and he didn't want to take over this mess either.

The Lu family has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace and is pregnant.

Lu Cheng was merely stripped of his official post; any further advancement he could attain would be to be dealt with by his father, the Emperor, in the capital.

He was indeed the eldest son, but he didn't want to make enemies everywhere.

Luo Jingqian simply pointed to the east, "The sun is about to rise!"

In short, the fourth prince shut up completely and could only resign himself to dealing with this mess. "When I submit a memorial to the Emperor, you must speak up for me."

All that was left for him was Luo Jingqian's departing figure.

The Fourth Prince's identity has been made public, and everything is progressing smoothly.

The Lu family was arrested and sent to the capital. After Lu Cheng and his lackeys were confronted, they were also sent to the capital by the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince was cautious during his first official mission.

He sent a hundred men to escort these people to the capital, and also wrote a letter to his mother, which he had a trusted confidant take back with him.

Now that the Crown Prince has not yet been established, he is forced to make enemies, and he must do so tactfully.

Han Cuiyin left in a hurry without saying goodbye to Han Song.

Luo Jingqian followed closely behind and quickly caught up.

"Miss Yang, let's talk."

"What are we going to talk about? Why your surname is Luo instead of Geng? I have no interest in knowing that. We'll talk when the 100,000 taels of silver are in my hands."

Han Cuiyin still remembered the money he owed, so she rolled her eyes and went into the Youkelai Inn.

Luo Jingqian paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly and could only walk in another direction.

His name was revealed by the fourth prince on the Pinglian River.

"Hey, junior brother, slow down. Is that dark-skinned girl from the Han family? Isn't Lord Han's wife Princess Mingxia from the Xu Prince's mansion? How come she..."

Qingshan is Luo Jingqian's senior brother.

In the secular world, he became Luo Jingqian's bodyguard.

This senior brother loved to join in the fun, and he thrived in the capital.

Every day, they could find their own amusement, either about a high-ranking official in the capital who had kept a mistress and was confronted by his wife after she found out, or about the scheming and infighting among the legitimate and illegitimate daughters of some powerful family.

In short, Qingshan not only finds amusement for himself, but also tells him about it.

Some things were a mix of truth and falsehood, and Luo Jingqian never took them seriously.

"Junior brother, slow down!"

Luo Jingqian walked faster and faster. He was only wearing a mask and did not carry an umbrella, as he had to enter the room before the sun came out.

There weren't many pedestrians on the road, but Qingshan's loud voice rang out the whole way.

Han Cuiyin went back before them. When she arrived, there were guests, and the first floor wasn't as crowded as it had been the day before.

However, everyone was whispering among themselves, discussing the guardian deity.

Han Cuiyin: These people actually believe things that are just made up?

"Miss Yang, would you like the food served inside or here?" the quick-witted waiter asked with a smile.

"Put it inside! What happened, and what's the deal with the guardian spirit?" Han Cuiyin pretended not to know. "Has the Gao family eaten? Just use the Han family's account."

This waiter knows Widow Gao; perhaps he can get some information out of her.

"The Gao family has disappeared." The waiter lowered his voice. "I'll explain in detail in a moment."

Han Cuiyin nodded, ignoring the onlookers, and hurried upstairs.

Something must have happened at the exhibition area, and it's related to that peculiar necklace.

When she first took the necklace out, it looked somewhat familiar.

She had seen him before, but not here; she must have seen him in the Realm of Immortality.

Buddhist practitioners do not seek external things, and she has never worn jewelry or similar items.

I used to care about my appearance when I first came here, but unfortunately, not long after, I became a disciple and a layperson.

Even so, she still held herself to the same standards as her master's first disciple.

"Qingyun has a necklace that does look somewhat similar." Han Cuiyin came to this conclusion after searching through hundreds of years of memories.

When the two of them were trapped in the secret realm, the only valuable thing she was wearing was a magic robe.

Qingyun, having nothing better to do, insisted on having a set of jewelry made for her.

The material used at that time was top-grade spirit stone.

The Hehuan Sect was wealthy, and that experience broadened her horizons.

Of course, she didn't dare accept that set of jewelry.

As Han Cuiyin pondered this, the waiter knocked on the door and came in.

"Miss Yang, here is your meal."

The seafood porridge on the tray smelled delicious.

For centuries, the cravings have been stirring within us.

She couldn't start eating until the waiter left.

"Miss Yang, are the Gao family members alright? I heard it was the Prefect who arrested them?"

"I don't know the whereabouts of the Gao family. If the Prefect arrests them, the Fourth Prince will release them. By the way, do you have any information about the guardian deity of the Guest Inn?"

Han Cuiyin had a sudden inspiration because there was indeed a rumor that a guest had a guardian deity back then.

"It's all just rumors. Who knows, maybe someone is trying to stir up trouble." After saying that, the waiter bowed his head and left.

In her previous life, she had only heard rumors in the capital that the guardian deity was indeed a person in disguise, but no one had been caught.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a sudden inspiration.

That evening, Han Song spoke through the door, "Miss Yang, I'm so sorry about what happened to the Gao family! The authorities will provide compensation after we return to the capital. By the way, you can go out for a stroll tomorrow, and we'll return to the capital the day after tomorrow."

"What happened?"

She had been worrying about it all day, unable to go to the gathering, and was anxious all day long. Finally, she found someone to ask.

"The necklace is lost, and Old Mo and Old Xu went to chase after it. The specifics are still unclear, but the merchants need to sell their goods, and normal transactions can only resume in the next few days."

Han Song gave a brief explanation and then went back to his room. He still needed to figure out how to tell the adults.

After returning to the capital, the Lu family will definitely fall out with the adults.

Han Cuiyin chuckled to herself in her room, thinking that she might be able to watch the two old women argue again tomorrow.

It's good that they're arguing.

It would be good if Princess Jialuo couldn't swallow her anger; by causing more trouble for Princess Mingxia, she could live a more peaceful life in the Han family.

Han Cuiyin finally managed to gather some useful information and fell into a sweet sleep.
