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

Luo Jingqian sat up, not answering directly, but instead looking around, "Where is this? Your place?"

"Ping'an Lane, Yan Family Residence".

Seeing his pale face, Han Cuiyin pretended to take something out of her magic bag, "Here, drink a bowl of this every day, it will help you expel the black energy."

A jade pot of turquoise was placed in Luo Jingqian's arms. "This time we can call it even. If we get the land deed for Qingshuang Mountain later, all our previous grievances will be settled."

Luo Jingqian could only smile wryly and silently put the money away, saying, "Thank you!"

He had anticipated Han Cuiyin's attitude, and now he could only swallow his bitterness.

"Don't drink too much, drink within your limits," Han Cuiyin reminded her again. "Also, don't say that I gave it to you. I hope you can keep it a secret for me. You can keep the bottle; you don't need to return it."

"Okay!" Luo Jingqian was unaware of the hidden meaning behind it. After putting it away, he got up to leave.

"Wait a minute! With the black energy entering your body, you mustn't engage in any magical battles for the next month. Also, practice the Rain-Making Technique more before using it!"

She had already noticed his shortcomings tonight.

If he were placed in the Realm of Immortality, Luo Jingqian could actually be considered a genius, after all, the spiritual energy there is abundant.

In the Leaf Village, spiritual energy is almost non-existent. To reach this level in ten months is practically unique.

Luo Jingqian asked in confusion, "You were also ambushed before, why did you seal your spiritual power? If this thing is useful, then use it! I have people protecting me, so I have no worries about my safety."

He then took out the jade pot and returned it to Han Cuiyin.

"I still have more! Besides, this thing is useless to me for the time being. My constitution is special, and only time can heal me."

Han Cuiyin did not reveal any details about her physical condition, but simply pushed the jade pot back, saying, "I'll borrow Qing Shuang Mountain for fifty years, what do you think?"

Han Cuiyin was very clear about the special nature of Qingshuang Mountain.

Actually, if Luo Jingqian had agreed, she would have gotten the better deal.

Luo Jingqian did not reply and turned to leave.

Yan Dali had been waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he was clearly taken aback.

He had been secretly running the Yan family business for many years, and a quick glance was enough to tell that Luo Jingqian was no ordinary person.

With a quick glance, he stopped the man. "Young master, you've been in the same room with my niece for so long; her reputation has been affected. It's not appropriate for you to just leave like this!"

Luo Jingqian was somewhat weak and unable to avoid it, so he could only say:

"I'm sorry, I was unconscious and unaware of what was happening. How about I compensate you with gold or silver?"

At this point, how could he bear to repeat the mistakes of his past life?

There is no relationship between the two, which is good for both of them.

"Uncle, stop causing trouble! Let Prince Luo leave quickly."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Han Cuiyin, though troubled, still stepped in to defuse the situation.

Luo Jingqian kept his eyes on the ground, nodded to her, and left the Yan family's courtyard.

"He's the heir apparent? The one you're on good terms with, the heir apparent of the Duke of Dingguo? His mother is Princess Changyun, his father is the Duke of Dingguo, and his maternal grandmother is even more remarkable, she's the Grand Princess Jinghe?"

Yan Dali went out these past few days and gathered some information, including the matter of the two of them.

"It's him! But we're not close. By the way, what's the story with my cousin? And why did my older cousin suddenly come to Beijing?"

In order to dispel his thoughts, Han Cuiyin could only try to distract him.

After arriving in the capital, the Yan family kept an unusually low profile.

More than a decade ago, the three Yan brothers caused a great disturbance at the Han residence, an event that was known throughout the capital.

Now that they have no powerful backers, they can't be too high-profile.

These days, apart from going to the market to buy vegetables, Yan Dali has only gone out once.

The others, having nothing else to do, stayed in the courtyard, entertaining themselves.

Today, Han Ruyi couldn't stand it any longer and begged her older brother to take her out to the market.

They arrived late, just as the accident happened.

That's why they were among the first to flee.

They also saved someone while escaping.

The woman in red who was rescued had a bloody face and footprints on her body; she was seriously injured.

If Han Ruyi hadn't insisted, her older brother wouldn't have brought her back.

Upon returning to the Yan family, the brother and sister were scolded, but fortunately someone went to fetch a doctor in time, and the girl received timely treatment.

After learning the whole story, Han Cuiyin instructed, "We don't know whose daughter this is. It's best to find out secretly, so that if there's anything dirty going on, we can exonerate the Yan family."

The struggles among wealthy families have always been brutal.

If it were a family that valued etiquette and rules, they would probably send this girl to a temple to become a nun after she went missing.

"Okay, I overlooked that! I'll remind you right now, so you don't do something wrong with good intentions and drag our whole family into it."

Yan Dali hurriedly went to the main room, no longer dwelling on the previous question.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Rou came out of the west wing. Before she could even ask any questions, Han Cuiyin asked several questions:

"You were waiting for me? Do you have doubts about your brother's death? And do you suspect the Shang Gao family?"

"Isn't that right? We're all unfortunate people, so why are you showing favoritism towards the Gao family? Just because they came to serve you as slaves first, does that make my brother a sacrifice?"

With red eyes, Li Rou questioned him in a low voice.

"Calm down, otherwise it will be bad for the baby in your womb."

"A fetus in my womb? I'm pregnant?" Li Rou staggered back two steps. "I'm carrying Lu Cheng's child!"

After saying all this, she realized with a start that her period was almost half a month late.

"What are you doing!"

Han Cuiyin pulled her arm, which was about to strike her abdomen, and offered a few words of advice:

“The child in your womb is my eldest disciple. Give birth to him properly. Even if you want to abort, you will probably not be able to save yourself. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have difficulty conceiving again, and the Li family line will end.”

These words were not a discussion with Li Rou, but an order.

Li Rou's tears streamed down her face; her feelings were complicated.

"Whether you believe it or not, your brother's death was Lu Cheng's mistake. Your feud has nothing to do with the Gao family. When you were performing the funeral rites for your brother, he begged me to take you in as a maid so he could get rid of Lu Cheng. As for what happens next, think it over carefully."

After Han Cuiyin finished speaking, she told her to go back and rest.

Li Rou returned to her room in a daze, completely at a loss for what to do.

She hates Lucheng.

Han Cuiyin briefly explained Li Rou's situation to her aunt before leaving Ping'an Lane.

Little did she know, the Han family hadn't learned their lesson and were still trying to cause her trouble.

......

After Luo Jingqian returned to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Princess Jinghe had already arrived.

"Grandmother, what brings you here?"

"I just heard in the palace that your mother and two younger sisters are in danger, and I couldn't sit still. You look pale, what happened?"

When they brought the person back from Qingshan, they clearly didn't mention that their grandson was also injured.

“I’m fine! Grandmother, could you please give me the land deed for Qingshuang Mountain? I’ll trade it for something.”

After Luo Jingqian said it, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Of course! That place was originally designed to treat your illness."

Princess Jinghe did not ask any further questions, and instructed the maid beside her, "Go back to the mansion and fetch the land deed."

Qingshan, who had been standing guard to the side, couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you really going to give the land deed to Miss Yang?"

Princess Jinghe's face lit up with joy. "Is this the dark-faced girl that Achu mentioned?"
