The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

As soon as Yun Jin turned the corner of the corridor, Chun happy quickly caught up, lowering her voice with a hint of resentment: "Miss, why didn't you let me stay by your side just now? If I had been there, that maid dared to push you, I would have kicked her into the lake!"

Yun Jin continued walking, gently shaking her head: "And then?"

She glanced at Chunxi, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Do you think you can get away with just a beating when the princess is angry? You might even be dragged away and beaten to death. If His Highness Prince Yu hadn't happened to show up today, I think things would have been difficult to resolve peacefully."

Chunxi pouted and said, "Miss, why is Princess Yamin making things difficult for you? I think she's doing it on purpose."

Yun Jin thought for a moment and decided to test her: "What do you think?"

"I think she's targeting you. Look, she came and immediately sidled up with the young lady, the two of them whispering to each other. It's definitely because the young lady didn't say anything good about you, and maybe it was even the young lady's idea. She didn't dare to do it herself, so she got the princess to help her," Chunxi analyzed earnestly.

Yun Jin smiled and praised generously, "That's right, you're right."

"I knew I was right." Chunxi proudly raised her head, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Miss, just now, from what His Highness Prince Yu said, it seemed like he knew you?"

"I don't know either." Yun Jin frowned slightly, thinking carefully. "I really don't remember. Maybe... he just looks like someone he knows."

Despite saying that, she had some doubts in her heart.

Prince Yu's words didn't seem like a casual remark. If he had truly met the original owner of this body, it was most likely in Qingping County.

However, after searching through the original owner's memories repeatedly, she couldn't find any trace of any connection with this Prince Yu.

She suppressed her doubts and quickened her pace toward the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Chu Wanqing was talking with several old women. When she saw Yun Jin enter, her gaze lingered on her for a moment. Seeing that Yun Jin was safe and sound, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Yun Jin walked over and sat down next to Chu Wanqing.

"Ya Min didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Chu Wanqing asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'm fine," Yun Jin said softly as she sat down next to her.

Just as Chu Wanqing was about to ask another question, a maidservant walked in from outside, hurriedly went to Yunxiu's side, and whispered a few words.

Yunxiu stood up and curtsied to Chu Wanqing: "Mother, Sister Yamin said she is not feeling well and has to leave first. I will go and see her off."

A hint of doubt flashed in Chu Wanqing's eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions, only nodding lightly: "Go."

The family reunion banquet ended without any major incidents.

The guests gradually took their leave, with Lan Ying and Madam Zheng being the last to leave.

With elders like Lan Ying and Madam Zheng supporting her, no one dared to say anything bad about Yun Jin during the meal.

Before leaving, Madam Zheng deliberately held Yun Jin's hand and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Girl, when are you going to give Grandma acupuncture again? I haven't been confused much lately, and I'm waiting for you to help me get rid of it completely."

Yun Jin smiled and replied, "I won't go tomorrow, but I'll definitely go the day after. Don't worry, Grandmother, I remember."

Madam Zheng nodded in satisfaction, gave a few more instructions, and then, with the help of her maid, got into the carriage.

Lan Ying, however, did not rush to leave.

She pulled Yun Jin aside, took out an exquisite sandalwood box from her sleeve, and placed it in her hand, lowering her voice to say, "Inside are the shop deeds that your grandmother prepared for you. Two shops in the south of the city and one in the east, both prime locations. Go find the shop managers later, and they will follow your instructions."

Yun Jin was taken aback and quickly declined, "Grandmother, this is too precious..."

Lan Ying glared at her: "What's so valuable about it? You take it. There will be many places to spend money in the future. How can you manage without some assets?"

She patted Yun Jin's hand, her tone leaving no room for refusal, "Keep it safe, don't let anyone see it."

Yun Jin felt a lump in her throat, tucked the box into her sleeve, and whispered, "Thank you, Grandmother."

Lan Ying nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Yunhe Pavilion.

She deliberately raised her voice so that the servants around could hear: "He Ting, Jin'er is a distant relative of my Lan family, and I wasn't initially keen on letting her join your Yun family. But I had someone look her over, and they said she's blessed with good fortune and can bring good luck to Wanqing. If Wanqing recovers, you'll naturally recover too. You must treat her well, otherwise..."

She paused, her gaze sharpening. "I'll take her back. My Chu family can afford to raise this child."

Yun Heting dared not refute, and could only nod repeatedly: "Mother-in-law, rest assured, now that Jin'er has entered my Yun family, I will naturally treat her well."

Lan Ying snorted and then left with her people.

Yun Jin stood on the steps, watching Lan Ying's carriage disappear into the distance, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

She knew that she was able to gain a foothold in the Yun family not because of any "blessed fate," but because of Lan Ying's influence.

With the General's Mansion backing her up, even if Yun Heting disliked her, he dared not act rashly.

After all the guests had left, the servants in the mansion began to clean up the mess.

Chu Wanqing sat in the flower hall, directing the maids to remove tables and chairs and clear away dishes, busy but not chaotic.

Yun Jin and Yun Xiu sat to one side, one quiet and the other attentive.

Yunxiu suddenly spoke up: "Second sister, I heard you offended Princess Yamin today?"

Yun Jin turned to look at her, a hint of confusion on her face: "Who told you that, sister?"

Yunxiu asked with concern, "You let the princess's maid fall into the lake, didn't you?"

She sighed and said earnestly, "Second sister, do you know who Princess Yamin is? She is the only daughter of the Eldest Princess, who is the Empress Dowager's only daughter. If she gets angry, you might be in big trouble."

Yun Jin looked at her calmly: "Sister, who told you that? The princess's maid accidentally fell into the lake. His Highness Prince Yu was also present at the time. If it was because of me, why didn't the princess get angry? His Highness Prince Yu can testify to that."

Yunxiu choked, almost losing the concern on her face.

She opened her mouth, about to speak again, when Chu Wanqing put down her teacup and said calmly, "Alright. The princess hasn't said anything, Xiu'er, yet you're criticizing your sister. Are you afraid she won't offend the princess?"

Yunxiu's expression changed, and she quickly explained, "Mother, no! I'm afraid my second sister will do something wrong and cause trouble for the family..."

Chu Wanqing interrupted her, "Didn't Jin'er say that nothing happened? The princess hasn't said anything, yet you're already feeling indignant on her behalf." She glanced at Yunxiu, her tone becoming somewhat indifferent, "Alright, go back to your courtyard and rest. You have to go to the palace tonight, so make sure you're well-rested."

Yunxiu dared not say anything more, stood up, bowed, and left reluctantly.

After she walked away, Chu Wanqing turned to look at Yun Jin and lowered her voice, "Tell me, what exactly happened today?"
