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

Chang Le County has regained its former liveliness, with people coming and going on the streets.

A few days later, the crowd dispersed.

Han Cuiyin had been worried ever since she learned from the Ma family that night that the necklace had been taken by the transparent bead.

On that day at Changji Village, Mo Changdao and Lianyao were both severely injured. She personally witnessed that the devil Lianyao turned into a transparent bead.

Mo Changdao seemed unaware of this situation.

That day, Mo Changdao and Xu Tianyun went to chase the transparent bead, which must have been Lian Yao.

She pondered for several days, wondering why Lianyao would come to Changle County when the Daye Dynasty was so vast. She had some guesses.

Lian Yao used a trick to attach herself to Mo Changdao's clothes that day, and only when she saw the necklace was she exposed.

"Could it be that they left with the Gao family?"

She possesses the Sunfire, and most evil spirits dare not provoke her.

Thinking of this, Han Cuiyin couldn't help but feel a little worried about the Gao family.

I've finally managed to have my own servants after three lifetimes; I hope they don't disappear halfway through.

"Miss Yang, please pack your things. We'll be heading back to Beijing this afternoon."

It's been too hot these past few days, so Han Song chose to travel when the sun wasn't too strong.

After the Gao family incident, Han Cuiyin felt uneasy about Han Song's choice.

These past few days, she's been going out alone for leisurely strolls.

She was already wearing that lotus seedpod hairpin.

It was Da Ni who had sharp eyes and kept a close eye on her every move, which allowed her to get past the obvious path.

He also tricked Han Zhen by letting Wang Mama know that he had secretly given her fifty taels of silver. Princess Mingxia must be furious when she finds out about such a "huge sum".

Han Song felt something was off after that, so he found an opportunity to tell her that the money the adults gave her couldn't be told to anyone.

Han Cuiyin merely nodded perfunctorily, without actually agreeing.

If I return to the capital with these fifty taels of silver, I'll probably be laughed at to death.

Many of the people staying there when guests came were stewards of wealthy families, and they were all popular figures in front of their masters.

With these people helping to spread the word, she went to the Han family, and openly, Han Zhen and his wife didn't dare to deduct anything from her.

Everyone in the capital knew that Han Zhen and his wife were very loving. When Princess Mingxia was pregnant, she even brought several concubines to Han Zhen.

Everyone praised the Xu family for their excellent parenting skills. The Xu family's daughters were highly sought after, and after reaching marriageable age, they could marry into prestigious families.

Xu Mingxia is extremely good at putting on a show.

It won't be easy to peel off this person's mask when the time comes.

This time, Han Zhen was ridiculed in private because she acted opportunistically.

There was no such thing as fifty taels of silver in my previous life.

An opportunity that comes knocking on your door is an opportunity you shouldn't miss.

Han Zhen was not a loving father either.

If you want to benefit from her, you have to see if she agrees.

Han Cuiyin did not mention Luo Jingqian's origin of the jade hairpin, only saying that she had found it for fifty taels of silver.

Now that she's in the open, she's been wearing the bright jade lotus on her head these past few days, making a point of circling around Granny Wang and Da Ni.

A master can command his servants, and a servant who is used to serving can naturally influence his master as well.

One of these two was a favorite of the old lady, and the other was an old servant of Princess Mingxia. After they returned, they would inevitably gossip about it.

The old lady has more than one son, Han Zhen; she also has two other sons in the capital.

"Let them fight like dogs!"

Han Zhen's two brothers are no pushovers.

As long as the old lady is alive, Han Zhen will have to support the entire families of those two brothers.

These fifty taels of silver can lead to quite a few things.

That's too much! Even Princess Mingxia will be disgusted by it; she has a legitimate son.

She would get impatient if I kept subsidizing the second and third wives.

After sorting through the thoughts of these people, Han Cuiyin was confident that she would not be the one to suffer losses after returning to the capital.

Just as she was envisioning her wonderful life back in Beijing, a commotion arose downstairs.

"Why are the city gates closed again? How long will they be closed? We were planning to return to the capital today, why is it so sudden?"

"That's right, what happened? If we stay here for another day, our return to the capital will be delayed by another day, and our master will have to wait another day!"

......

There was a lot of noise downstairs, and someone was speaking very loudly, but Han Cuiyin could make out what was going on.

The official who was temporarily acting as the prefect suddenly closed the city gates, which aroused public anger.

However, he may not be in charge; the Fourth Prince is still here.

"Miss Yang, Master Mo and the others have returned. They need to conduct another inspection in the city before they can leave, so they probably won't be able to leave today. Stay in the room for a while; someone will bring you food. Don't wander around."

Han Song gave a few instructions outside and then hurried downstairs.

Mo Changdao returned, which means he didn't find Lianyao after chasing after her.

Where has this devil gone?

Back in the Realm of Immortality, it took all of them working together to trap Lianyao.

Here, those at the Innate Realm might not be able to deal with him.

Han Cuiyin felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of this. She had to keep her good deeds hidden. She couldn't possibly die for the greater good again this time.

Until she has overwhelming strength, she should just be an ordinary person.

Once you've made a decision, you can leave everything else to your own devices and live freely as you please.

Bored and unable to play the wooden fish drum, she asked the waiter to find her some storybooks to pass the time.

In her past life, she had long coveted Han Lingzhi's storybooks, but unfortunately, she was unable to borrow them despite asking several times.

After going to the Realm of Immortality, I became my master's lay disciple. I dared not look at those things anymore, and only listened to my master preach and attain enlightenment in the Lotus Pond of Buddha.

The waiter was very efficient; there was a bookstore right next to them, and he selected a few books and brought them over.

Han Cuiyin gave him the silver and slipped him a few copper coins, saying, "You're well-informed, do you know when the city gates will open?"

"It's said that in three days, everyone in the city will have to go through with Grand Preceptor Mo. Young lady, you should stay put and not wander around; the city is still a bit chaotic. I heard a great demon has appeared, even Grand Preceptor Mo isn't a match for him. That demon can disperse into black dots, and possesses immense supernatural powers..."

Ever since Xiao Er learned that the Gao family was safe, he was all smiles and talking to Han Cuiyin about everything.

"What's your relationship with Gao Xiaolan?" Han Cuiyin suddenly asked. "You wouldn't happen to be her future husband, who's getting married at the end of the year, would you?"

"How could I possibly have such good fortune!" the waiter said, bowing his head. "I came here to make a living before, and I almost starved to death. It was Miss Gao who gave me a steamed bun and ten copper coins, which is why I am where I am today."

It turns out it was a life-saving grace.

Han Cuiyin had a better idea of ​​what was going on. "Who is Gao Xiaolan's fiancé? If I know, I want to meet him."

"Don't even mention it! After Miss Gao went to work as an embroiderer, her in-laws broke off the engagement and only married a new woman last month."

"Well... that's fine too. Out with the old, in with the new."

From this perspective, the Gao family has no more worries here, so they can use it without worry.

For three days in a row, Han Cuiyin stayed in her room reading storybooks, ignoring the noise outside, her heart unmoved.

It wasn't until evening that they had someone from the Guest Inn go to the wider long street in Chang Le County.

"Miss Yang!" Luo Jingqian arrived late, sitting in a bamboo wheelchair pushed by Qingshan.

"It's been a few days, young master. Why is your leg lame? Is it because you've done too many bad things and are now being punished?"

"How dare you speak like that!" A long knife was pressed against Han Cuiyin's neck, its cold light gleaming.

"Qingshan, stop!" Luo Jingqian moved Qingshan's hand away. "Miss Yang may have a sharp tongue, but she has a good heart!"

Han Cuiyin was furious. "You broke your promise and you won't even let people talk about it! Young Master, you have quite the airs."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Aoyama rarely showed such emotion, "This dark-skinned girl, she disrespects you and yet—"

"She's different!"
