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

The courtyard of the Han residence was somewhat secluded, but Han Cuiyin was very familiar with it, both in her past and present lives.

She and Granny Chu were two of the only three people standing.

But when Granny Chu walked up to her, she no longer cared about those rules.

"This old servant greets Your Majesty!" Granny Chu merely bowed slightly, without kneeling.

Han Cuiyin was stunned. Could this nanny be from the residence of the Grand Princess Jinghe? Otherwise, how could a nanny from a Duke's mansion not kneel before the Emperor?

Her mind was unusually sharp at that moment.

She had a hunch that the emperor wasn't there for witchcraft, but rather for the carefree prince from earlier.

"Aunt Chu, get up quickly, what are you doing here?"

Emperor Chu Yuan looked somewhat old.

Logically speaking, he and the Carefree King are of different generations, but in reality, their ages are not that different.

If the two stand together, they look like they are from two different generations.

After getting up, Granny Chu pulled Han Cuiyin over, saying, "This old servant was sent by the young master to teach Miss Yang manners. Now this old servant has also been given to Miss Yang by the young master, and she will take care of this old servant in her old age! Miss, why don't you come and pay your respects to the Emperor?"

Han Cuiyin did not kneel down; she bowed and then stood up.

Fortunately, Emperor Chu Yuan didn't take it to heart and let her get away with it.

Having lived through that lifetime in the Realm of Immortality, Han Cuiyin was no longer the rustic village girl she once was.

She only kneels to heaven and earth, not to emperors.

Even if he kneels, he can't bear it.

"You all get up too!"

After everyone stood up, Lu Cheng hid behind Marquis Kaiming, not daring to show himself.

The nanny beside Han Cuiyin should be the same nanny of Princess Jinghe. The two grew up together and, although they were mistress and servant, their relationship was like that of sisters.

When this person came to Han Cuiyin's side, Lu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If it were an imperial concubine in the palace, he wouldn't be afraid.

Princess Jinghe is renowned for her power and prestige; he dares not offend her!

We shouldn't have stayed behind just to watch the excitement.

The expressions of the others who remained varied; some were happy, while others were on tenterhooks.

The matter of witchcraft is no small matter.

If it really sticks to your body, it's not easy to get rid of.

Marquis Kaiming had no choice but to stand in front of his son.

I used to envy Han Zhen's good fortune with his wives; his first wife brought him wealth, and his second wife brought him power.

Unfortunately, the two men had different fates.

Now, he no longer envies Han Zhen's early entry into the cabinet; it's better to be content.

Now, I don't know who's behind this, but they've managed to provoke the Emperor.

Marquis Kaiming was cursing inwardly, unaware that the instigator was hiding right behind him.

"Keep digging, Han Aiqing, let's find a place to talk."

“Father, the courtyard next door is quite nice. There’s a pavilion there, and the environment is very quiet. Why don’t you and the Emperor move there? I’ll have someone send some dried fruit or something later. As for tea, would you like to brew it yourself?”

Han Yueshi was the first to jump out.

Of the Han family's female relatives, only she was present; the others had already gone back to change clothes and wash off the filth.

"Han Aiqing's eldest daughter is indeed good at managing the household, let's do it this way! Jingqian, you and Xiao Si come over here too."

"Alright! Why did Father Emperor leave the palace? You also know that Imperial Uncle has returned to the capital?"

The Fourth Prince pushed Luo Jingqian's wheelchair and quickly followed.

Emperor Chu Yuan stopped in his tracks, momentarily stunned. "Royal Uncle?"

"Your Majesty, it's Prince Xiaoyao!" Han Zhen feigned helplessness. "Prince Xiaoyao married Lady Yan, and this time he did it to vent his anger for her."

When the name of the Carefree King was mentioned, Emperor Chu Yuan's expression changed several times.

"I never expected my royal uncle to return! Someone, go and find out where he is staying. I want to pay him a visit."

Han Cuiyin felt a gust of wind rise beside the emperor, which then stopped.

No one else noticed, only Luo Jingqian looked up at her and said, "Don't look directly at the Emperor's face, or you'll be punished!"

Upon receiving the message, Han Cuiyin rolled her eyes at him, showing no appreciation.

She currently has no spiritual power, but she can still sense changes in her surroundings.

Emperor Chu Yuan was accompanied by no fewer than three experts, but they all remained hidden in the shadows.

No wonder he dared to leave the palace, unafraid of being assassinated.

Once they entered the courtyard, Han Yueshi approached them and said, "Little sister, be careful in the future. If you had begged for mercy earlier, I might have let you go. Also, hand over the jade hairpin in your hair."

Unfortunately, Han Cuiyin had no spiritual power, and even though she possessed martial arts skills, she dared not easily reveal them.

She was prepared to tough it out.

"There are too many leaves on the table. Lord Han's servants should be properly disciplined."

Luo Jingqian waved his sleeve, and the fallen leaves scattered and flew up.

A single leaf flew straight at the two sisters. Han Yueshi quickly pulled her hand back, but the leaf severed two of her long fingernails.

Han Yueshi glared at Han Cuiyin, "You just let men help you!"

At this point, Luo Jingqian's unlikeability increased dramatically in Han Yueshi's eyes.

"She's just a cannon fodder female supporting character, I don't know why all those men like her!" Only Lian Yao could hear Han Yueshi's thoughts.

The two of them began communicating right under everyone's noses.

"You transmigrated from a book. Is this Miss Yang in the book named Han Cuiyin?" Lian Yao did not appear. "Does she also have a wooden fish in her hand?"

"She's just a cannon fodder female supporting character, there's no need for so much description. Speaking of wooden fish, the Yan family does have one."

Han Yueshi retorted angrily.

She was just a brainless and stupid female supporting character. She couldn't understand how Han Cuiyin could be the white moonlight of so many young masters in the capital.

The female supporting character, who is supposed to be cannon fodder, will die young in three years. During these three years, she must not be allowed to show her face.

"Does the Yan family have one? But it's entirely yellowish-brown, and it can be used to throw things?"

"How would I know! The book is only a few hundred thousand words long, and I'm the main character. How could it possibly describe the mother and daughter in detail? There's no record of the Carefree King in the book at all!"

The leaf that appeared out of nowhere just now cut off her fingernail. She didn't know who did it, and she couldn't even get revenge.

"Did you see who tampered with the leaves just now? That sickly kid isn't that capable."

Han Yueshi never thought about Luo Jingqian from beginning to end.

"I didn't see it clearly. It was too slow. Then it sped up again when it got to you. No one here could do that except... the Carefree King."

Lian Yao looked bitter. If he hadn't come to this world, these tricks wouldn't have stumped him.

Even now, in order to recover from his injuries, he still has to take care of this young lady every day.

However, Han Yueshi was quite generous; he could freely enter and leave the jade bottle, otherwise his injuries would probably have taken more than ten years to heal.

Both of them had their own agendas and only wanted to use each other.

Han Cuiyin was unaware of their conversation; she was now watching the guards digging with great interest.

She witnessed Lu Cheng burying the things in the tree with her own eyes. Luo Jingqian said he wouldn't punish the Han family, but she wanted to see how things would turn out.

"Found it! But it's not that thing."

Lu Cheng saw it too, and lowered his head, gritting his teeth.

"Who exactly switched it? After discovering it, did that person replace it with this?"

He orchestrated this whole scheme himself, a scheme to wipe them all out!
