Lin Shuyun told Jiang Changtian about this idea, telling him not to make any more personal jade pendants, as they would only give others leverage over him.

Jiang Changtian was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that one of the reasons he had falsely accused his father of treason was that they had found his father's personal jade pendant in those letters.

Something so obvious, yet...

Lin Shuyun was speechless after hearing this. "Just because someone else is framing you doesn't mean you can't frame them. You say I'm a traitor, but I suspect you're having an affair with the enemy. Your son is someone else's child!"

Jiang Changtian: ...

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Yunyun, meeting you is truly my luck."

He used to only remember the hatred and never thought about how to prove his father's innocence.

"Let's hurry back, or they'll worry."

Lin Shuyun couldn't stand such mushy words; her ears felt itchy, and she felt an urge to do something naughty.

"Where have you two been?"

When they arrived at the place where they had rested earlier, Old Xu and the others had been waiting for quite some time.

"I'm off to make some money." Lin Shuyun was in a good mood, after all, she had earned five hundred taels.

Qin Niangzi smiled like an aunt, "Going to make money, huh? Got it."

Lin Shuyun didn't explain herself when she was misunderstood. They were husband and wife, and even if they did something, it was perfectly natural. Why should she explain it to others?

Jiang Changtian pretended not to understand and looked away.

Guan Suying looked at their good relationship, her eyes full of smiles.

When Xiaoqing returned, she gave a set of clothes and shoes meant for the elderly to Chen Jingfeng's old housekeeper.

"We just happened to run into each other outside. Please pat your chin."

The old butler hurriedly refused, "This...this is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable."

He had some money; he wasn't so poor that he couldn't afford to eat. He just couldn't bear to buy food for himself, so how could he accept food from others?

Xiaoqing's expression was not good. "Take it. You're so old. Don't be so reluctant to part with anything. If you die, who will take care of your young master Jingfeng? Besides, I think it's quite shameful for you to come with us wearing tattered clothes and straw sandals."

The old steward was taken aback for a moment before accepting the gift with profuse thanks. "Young Master Qing, please feel free to ask me to do anything."

Xiaoqing ignored her.

He turned his head and saw Lin Shuyun leaning against the railing not far away, watching him.

I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Xiaoqing is such a kind-hearted person." Lin Shuyun smiled.

Xiao Qingmu said with a stern face, "You're overthinking it. We're all dressed quite nicely, but this old butler is dressed in rags. People will misunderstand us."

Lin Shuyun nodded. "Yes, they thought we were abusing the elderly. Brother Xiaoqing, get some rest. We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she had left, Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief; now she could finally get a good night's sleep.

He's not a kind-hearted person, no.

……

……

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

"Young Master Jiang, Madam Jiang! Wait for me!"

The next morning, just as Lin Shuyun and the others left Fancheng, Yu Mingzhi caught up with them on horseback.

Upon hearing the shouts, Jiang Changtian told Qingfeng and the others to stop the carriage.

Yu Mingzhi dismounted from his horse. "Luckily we caught up. You haven't gone far."

Chen Ting poked her head out of the carriage. "Young Master Yu, is there something you need from us?"

Yesterday, Chen Jingfeng sold the old horse and bought a small carriage. Now that Chen Ting is dressed in women's clothing, it's inconvenient for her to always ride in someone else's carriage.

As for them... Chen Ting was his fiancée, so it wasn't exactly against the rules.

“There is indeed something I need to do. Madam Jiang, here are five hundred taels of silver. I’ve come to redeem my jade pendant.” Yu Mingzhi said, taking out five hundred taels of silver notes from his pocket.

"Thank you for the information. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark. I never thought that my friend and my most trusted butler would betray me."

Yu Mingzhi gave a bitter smile.

After hearing the gist of the story, Chen Ting said, "How can you extort five hundred taels for such a small favor? That's going too far! Those grains aren't even worth five hundred taels, are they?"

Lin Shuyun was speechless. "Big sister, are you out of your mind? Since you're so kind, give me five hundred taels, and I won't ask him for the money."

They met by chance and had no reason to meet, so it was only natural for her to take money and do things for them.

"I don't have five hundred taels. I was just saying that. I'm sorry, please don't be upset." Chen Ting lowered her head, looking pitiful.

Lin Shuyun didn't even look at her. "Oh, I accept your apology. I'm not upset."

Chen Ting: ...

It felt like punching cotton.

Why is Lin Shuyun so annoying? She must dislike her and thinks that Lin Shuyun has stolen Xiaoqing's attention. She was just afraid that Young Master Yu would think she was better and kinder.

So he deliberately targets her, and that's why he's often sarcastic and sarcastic.

"The money I promised you was what I should give you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have lost much more than just this amount of money." Yu Mingzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with giving money; he felt that uncovering the mole was worth the price.

On the contrary, he admired Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian's frankness.

He took the jade pendant and said with a smile, "You are going to Shengjing. I hope we can be friends when we meet again."

"Okay, I hope we can be friends when we meet again." Lin Shuyun waved.

"Bon Voyage."

Inside the carriage, Chen Ting shook Chen Jingfeng's arm and apologized.

"Brother Jingfeng, please don't be angry. I won't say anything out of line again. I'm not as clever as Madam Lin..."

Her voice wasn't quiet; almost everyone heard it.

Lin Shuyun rolled her eyes. "Sister Female Competition is at it again."

"What does 'female competition' mean?" Qin Niangzi asked, not understanding.

Lin Shuyun explained, "Female competition is the competitive behavior between women in order to win the attention and affection of men."

Upon hearing this, Qin Niangzi rubbed the goosebumps off her body, turned to Guan Suyi and said, "Guan Yiyi, we won't compete anymore. I won't compete with you."

Guan Suying smiled gently, "We've never competed with each other, but why did you change my name?"

"Yiyi sounds better. Your parents didn't know how to name you properly. What did Suyi mean? It's so plain and simple. It sounds like you have no desires. That's why you have such a cold and aloof personality. You should be called Caiyi or Hongyi. Life is like clothing. It should be vibrant and colorful!"

"What a wonderful name I chose, Xiaoyun, meaning soaring straight to the ninth heaven."

"Then why don't you call yourself Qin Jiuxiao?"

Qin Niangzi turned to look at Xiaoqing, who had suddenly interrupted, and was immediately speechless.

Guan Suyi was suppressing a laugh.

As expected, brine is used to curdle tofu; one thing can subdue another.

Qin Niangzi thought of the boy's fragile heart and held back, "Never mind, I won't argue with a child."

Hearing the last sentence, Chen Ting leaned closer and asked, "Mrs. Qin, how old are you?"

"I'm eighteen, and I'm as beautiful as a flower."

"puff……"

Guan Suyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She smiled more than she had in the past few years along the way, and Xiugu and the others couldn't help but smile as well.

The lady's health improved, and her face regained its color.

very nice.

Once the Chang family's injustice is cleared, everything will be alright.

……

……

royal palace.

Guan Lanzhi's exquisitely made-up face was filled with gloom.

"Has the person still not been found?"

"No, Your Majesty."

The kneeling eunuchs were too frightened to lift their heads.
