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

Yun Jin smiled slightly: "Expensive? For those who need it, it's worth it! Especially some wealthy ladies with thinning hair, they're willing to spend any amount of money for that head of black hair."

Manager Yang nodded thoughtfully and put the box away.

He was one of Lan Ying's men and knew how much this young lady meant to Lan Ying, so naturally whatever she said went.

After leaving Weicaotang, Yun Jin went to two other shops.

One was a grain shop, and the other was an embroidery shop. She went in and looked around, and saw that both shops were doing good business.

She met with the manager, exchanged a few words with him, and then left.

She doesn't have much time to manage the shops yet; she'll see how they perform before deciding how to run them.

I checked the time; it was almost noon. Perfect timing to go to Zheng's house for a free meal.

When Madam Zheng saw Yun Jin arrive, she smiled broadly and said, "Jin'er is here! I've been thinking about you. You've come at the perfect time. Have lunch with me."

Yun Jin smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

As they were talking, Chen Mengyao rushed in like a whirlwind: "Jin-mei! You've finally arrived!"

Old Madam Zheng gave her a reproachful look: "How old are you? Still so impetuous."

Chen Mengyao stuck out her tongue and pulled Yun Jin aside, asking with concern, "I heard from my aunt that the Princess and Ya Min made things difficult for you last night? Are you alright?"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "I'm fine, Sister Mengyao. Look, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

Chen Mengyao checked carefully before saying, "It's good that you're alright, I'm relieved. You don't know, I was so scared when I heard about it that I couldn't sleep well for half the night."

Yun Jin patted her hand and said nothing more.

She washed her hands and began to administer acupuncture to Madam Zheng. One silver needle after another fell, and Madam Zheng closed her eyes, her expression relaxed.

After administering the acupuncture, Yun Jin wrote out a new prescription and explained how to prepare the medicine.

When Madam Wang learned that she had arrived, she rushed over as well: "Jin'er, I was just thinking of having you take a look at me, to see if I'm feeling any better."

Yun Jin nodded, reached out to take her pulse, asked a few more questions, and then nodded again: "You're getting better, keep it up. When the odor disappears, you're completely cured."

Overjoyed, Madam Wang lowered her voice and said, "Jin'er, I had those underpants you mentioned last time made. And you know what? They're really comfortable. Since they're so good, could we sell them in the shop?"

Yun Jin thought for a moment and said, "This is easy to do; anyone who buys it can easily copy it after a little thought. If Godmother wants to do this business, she'll have to work on the designs, like embroidery or edging, to make it look exquisite at first glance. But I'm afraid this business won't last long."

Wang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll do it for as long as I can, anyway, I'm not expecting to get rich from this."

She leaned closer, lowering her voice even further: "You don't need to be afraid of what happened last night. Although the Princess is His Majesty's sister, she has acted arrogantly over the years, and His Majesty has long lost patience with her. Offending her is no big deal; as long as you don't go too far, His Majesty won't punish you."

Yun Jin asked curiously, "Godmother, it seems the Eldest Princess has a very good relationship with Consort Shu?"

After dismissing the maid, Madam Wang whispered, "The Eldest Princess and the Empress are at odds. It's said that when she married the Imperial Son-in-Law, it was the Empress's idea. The Eldest Princess was in love with the Empress's younger brother, but the Empress didn't want her to be her brother's wife, so she devised a plan to marry her off to the Imperial Son-in-Law. Because of this, she has hated the Empress intensely all these years. The Empress wants the Third Prince to be the Crown Prince, but she insists on opposing it. The Third Prince's arrogant and domineering reputation is partly due to her influence."

Madam Zheng coughed lightly and said calmly, "Alright, don't talk about these things with Jin'er. What use is it for a young lady like her to know these things? Whether it's the Princess or Princess Yamin, just avoid them."

Yun Jin smiled and obediently said, "Okay, I'll listen to Grandmother."

Wang felt that Yun Jin should know these things, but since the old lady had said so, she didn't refute it.

Suddenly, Madam Zheng asked, "Jin'er, how does it feel to be back by your mother's side? Is your mother treating you well?"

Yun Jin smiled and replied, "Grandmother, don't worry, my mother treats me very well."

Madam Zheng nodded and asked, "You've come of age, so your mother should be arranging your marriage. If you're unsure, you can ask your grandmother, or you can have your godmother help you with the arrangements. Marriage must be carefully considered; family background isn't important, character is."

Yun Jin nodded: "Okay, Grandmother. I'll definitely ask you to help me make the selection."

She turned to Chen Mengyao and smiled, "Grandmother, has Mengyao's marriage been arranged?"

Chen Mengyao blushed and glared at her, saying, "I'm not in a hurry. I haven't spent enough time with my grandmother yet."

Madam Zheng smiled and said, "Preparations are already underway."

Yun Jin turned to look at Chen Mengyao, thinking to herself that this was one of the downsides of ancient times: people had to arrange marriages at the tender age of fifteen or sixteen, when their minds and bodies were not yet mature.

Chen Mengyao quickly changed the subject: "Jin-meimei, try this dish."

……

After dinner, Chen Mengyao pulled Yun Jin outside, saying, "Grandmother, Aunt, I'll take Jin-meimei for a walk."

Madam Zheng waved her hand: "Go on, go on. Don't run too fast after you eat, or you'll get indigestion."

Chen Mengyao took Yun Jin for a walk in the garden. Yun Jin was afraid of the cold, so the two went back to Chen Mengyao's courtyard and snuggled up on the bed to chat.

Chen Mengyao asked her, "Jin-meimei, why did Prince Yu help you? I heard he helped you in the palace last night too? Could he have taken a liking to you?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "Probably not. I've only met him twice. I don't think he's helping me; he probably just can't stand the princess's arrogance."

Chen Mengyao thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. But it seems the Princess doesn't approve of Ya Min liking him. I think she probably wants Ya Min to marry one of the princes."

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow: "Who do you think she would want Ya Min to marry?"

Chen Mengyao pondered for a moment, then lowered her voice: "I guess it's the Fifth Prince. She's on good terms with Consort Shu, so she definitely wants the Fifth Prince to be the Crown Prince, and probably wants Ya Min to be the future Empress."

She suddenly looked at Yun Jin, "By the way, I remember you said that Yun Xiu seems to like the Fifth Prince as well. Do you think the Eldest Princess is the only one in this situation?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "You probably don't know, right?"

In her previous life, Yunxiu did indeed marry the Fifth Prince, but who did Yamin marry?

The information provided by Tuoba Hui did not mention this, so she guessed that Ya Min must have chosen Yunxiu herself, the Fifth Prince.

But at this moment she had an idea in her mind, but she was not sure and planned to think about it again later.

Not wanting to dwell on the matter, she changed the subject: "How is Scholar Huang doing at the manor?"

Chen Mengyao said, "It's alright. My maternal grandfather and eldest uncle said that he is quick-witted and has the talent to be a pillar of society, so he will definitely have no problem with the imperial examination."

She asked curiously, "Why are you so concerned about him?"

Yun Jin said, "I saved him once, which has already established a good relationship. Isn't that how connections are built?"

Chen Mengyao blinked: "You're right. Come to think of it, I should also be considered his savior. Let's go see him."
