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

After Lianyao left, Han Cuiyin still did not show up.

Sure enough, the man launched a surprise attack.

"Strange, could it be that I'm mistaken?"

Lian Yao scanned the surroundings but found nothing. Then, it transformed into countless black dots and disappeared.

"That was close! His cultivation level seems to be higher than when we were at Changji Village."

Lian Yao and Mo Changdao fought a fierce battle, resulting in both of them being severely injured.

Why did it recover so quickly?

Han Cuiyin couldn't help but feel a little envious.

When I arrived here, I had to suppress my physical constitution because my spiritual energy was not circulating enough. I had to wear a dark face every day, and there were also problems with my spiritual consciousness. It took me ten months to adapt and learn to be an ordinary person.

It's a bit tricky that Han Yueshi is involved with him.

This young lady has a secret, and this time when we met, the strange feeling was even stronger.

It turns out it was Lianyao.

Han Cuiyin put on the pair of earrings she had obtained from the Ma family, made a few hand gestures, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Top-grade spirit stones are still the best; they replenish spiritual energy faster than spirit wine.

However, she dared not use these things easily, and she didn't have many left.

Luo Jingqian had previously warned that Lianyao's appearance at the Han family's residence was most likely due to the Gao family bringing her there unintentionally.

If it weren't for setting up some protective formations for Tingfeng Xiaozhu during the days of confinement, Lianyao would probably have discovered her long ago.

Luckily, she had made arrangements in advance, otherwise she would have been exposed.

At this moment, she knew she was no match for Lianyao. She had used her merit power twice, as well as the spiritual power in her body, and had to suppress her physical condition. It would take her at least a year to recover.

"Lu Cheng, watch yourself. Don't cause any trouble today. Princess Jialuo is here. Do you know why?"

Marquis Kaiming arrived a step later than Lu Cheng, and upon arriving at the Han residence, he immediately began searching for people.

The eldest son suffered a loss in Chang Le County this time, and given his temperament, he certainly won't let it go easily.

They can't interfere with the Fourth Prince's side, but with Han Zhen, his son is bound to cause trouble.

Marquis Kaiming never imagined that after a lifetime of leisure, having never experienced hardship and relying on his two wives for most of his life, he would be worrying about his children in his old age.

He couldn't help the one in the palace, so he could only support him financially.

The other two sons are fine, they're relatively easy to manage.

This eldest son always causes some trouble every time he returns to Beijing.

The position of prefect of Changle County was obtained with the help of Consort Rui when she was favored in the palace.

Originally, he only had three more years left in his two terms, and he could have returned to Beijing to become a government official, which would have been a promising future.

Who knew I'd be so unlucky this time, running right into the Fourth Prince.

"How would I know about matters concerning women?"

Despite his headache, Lu Cheng looked around as if searching for something, seemingly unwilling to pay attention to Marquis Kaiming.

“Princess Jialuo’s husband’s family is the Lin family. Her husband’s second brother is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You’re not in the capital, so you probably don’t know this.”

Lin Erye was a scholar, and he was in the same year as Han Zhen. Han Zhen was the top scholar, while he was the tenth.

However, his official career was much worse than Han Zhen's, and after so many years he finally became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Isn't the eldest son of the Lin family stationed at the border? How could the Emperor allow both of them, one a civil official and the other a military officer, to hold high positions? Isn't he afraid of collusion between the civil and military officials?"

Lu Cheng was fond of beautiful women, and he wasn't completely ignorant of anything; he was aware of some things.

"That's what makes Second Master Lin so formidable. A few days ago, Princess Jialuo caused quite a stir in the capital in an attempt to get revenge. I guess she's here to bow down and beg for peace with Princess Mingxia, hoping that Second Master Lin can fill the vacancy of Minister of Personnel."

Marquis Kaiming explained all this to his eldest son, fearing that he might act rashly and cause trouble.

The Han family is not a major concern, but the Xu Prince's Mansion behind the Han family is a troublesome one.

Lu Cheng lowered his head and remained silent, not giving a reply.

"Sigh, forget it! Your sister will cover for you if you get into trouble. She's pregnant with the emperor's child right now, so the emperor will always take her into consideration."

Seeing that he could not persuade him, Marquis Kaiming simply gave up and left in a huff.

After the others left, Lu Cheng revealed what he was holding, which turned out to be a scarecrow.

However, a piece of paper with writing on it was stuck to the scarecrow with a needle.

When Han Cuiyin saw the contents above, she was surprised to find that it contained her birth date and time.

She calculated it according to the price list, "It's incredibly expensive, could it be someone's?"

She glanced towards the palace, feeling incredibly pleased.

Princess Jialuo was too afraid to act because of her own interests, so she just held her breath. But Lu Cheng had some guts.

"This is a perfect opportunity! Hopefully, this person will play it safe and even if the Han family loses everything, it won't be bad."

She hasn't acknowledged her ancestors yet, so she can always escape this situation.

She watched as Lu Cheng dug a hole under a willow tree not far away and buried something else there.

"Wait a minute! How can he absolve himself of responsibility? If he brings people to identify him, wouldn't that create a flaw in his plan?"

Han Cuiyin witnessed everything Lu Cheng did, and just as she was about to follow him to see what was going on, she was discovered.

"Still not coming down yet!"

Wearing a mask and dressed in white, Luo Jingqian appeared under the tree where she was staying, sitting in a wooden wheelchair and holding a green bamboo umbrella in his right hand.

"How did you find out?" Han Cuiyin jumped down from the tree.

She is no longer afraid of her breath leaking out and has already taken remedial measures.

Lian Yao and other people in the Innate Realm would never suspect her.

"You have a faint scent of temple incense ash on you, but others won't easily smell it. My nose is more sensitive."

Luo Jingqian was alone at this moment, with no one accompanying him.

Han Cuiyin simply pushed the wheelchair and said, "I know a secluded courtyard. Let's go there to talk."

"can!"

The two headed east.

Not long after they left, a red figure appeared. "Are you sure this is the place? Is it Yang Cuiyin? She is indeed different from the one in the book. She was originally just a cannon fodder heiress who was brought back to the Han family to acknowledge her ancestors, but now her situation is different from the course of events in the book."

The person who arrived was Han Yueshi.

She stopped under the tree where Han Cuiyin had been hiding, took out a small bottle, poured a few drops of liquid onto her eyes, and looked up. "There shouldn't be anyone here. Could I be seeing things? How could this cannon fodder be your mortal enemy?"

"It seems she has run away."

A transparent bead floated down from Han Yueshi's head, landing and transforming into a man in black.

Lianyao trusted her judgment. "I've met all the members of the Han family except for her. When she was sleeping next to the Gao family, she was awakened by the power of merit that night."

Han Yueshi's heart tightened. "Are you confident you can get rid of him?"

Lian Yao shook her head, "We are currently under restrictions and cannot act rashly. I'm afraid we can only use your inner court methods to scheme against her."

Han Cuiyin was unaware that after they left, Han Yueshi and her companion appeared there, and by chance, they helped Han resolve the Han family's crisis and even profited from it.

Lu Cheng hated the Han family and also hated her; this time, he was truly determined to crush them. Witchcraft and sorcery have always been forbidden arts.

"This is it!"

It's not far from Tingfeng Xiaozhu, so it's convenient to go anywhere.

"Speak, what do you want to do today? Was it you who made the move in Lucheng?"

"You saw it? Why didn't you stop it?"

Luo Jingqian looked up, his cold eyes meeting his gaze directly. "Why should I interfere?"

Weird!

This person...

Why is it suddenly so quiet and cold?

How much has changed in just over ten days?

"The Han family has over a hundred members. Now that you've seen them, don't you feel any pity?"

This is what Han Cuiyin found strange.

In her past life, she could never forget the image of this compassionate and noble young man she had seen.
