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

That night at Yun Mansion, some people had a good night's sleep, while others couldn't sleep at all.

Yun Jin spent half the night working on the space, making another batch of hair growth tonic sets.

With the weather getting colder, it's inconvenient to brew medicine, so she made some pills for Yunlang and added spiritual spring water. The effect should be no worse than brewing the medicine.

She analyzed the antidote pills given by Tuoba Hui and tried to make some herself. The effects might not be as strong, but with the addition of spiritual spring water, they should be able to cure most poisons that are not too difficult to detoxify.

She worked late into the night, drank some spiritual spring water, and didn't feel tired at all when she woke up in the morning.

After she got up and washed, she went to Qingshui Garden to pay her respects to Chu Wanqing.

When Chu Wanqing saw her come in, she scolded, "Didn't I tell you that you didn't need to come over because of the cold weather? Why did you still come?"

Yun Jin leaned closer and asked, "Mother, have you and Lang'er put on the cotton-padded trousers that I asked Chunxi to tell Qinghe about?"

"I put it on, and it's really warm! I sent her to your maternal grandparents' house to tell your maternal grandmother and the others about the recipe, so that everyone won't be too cold this year. Also... I told her to tell your maternal grandmother that this was your idea."

"Mother...you are so good to me."

"You silly girl, you're too magnanimous." Chu Wanqing patted her hand. "You didn't blame me when I wronged you before, and I've felt really bad about it, but I didn't know how to express it. All I can do is try my best to make it up to you."

"Mother..." Yun Jin really didn't know how to respond. She wasn't that magnanimous, but the feudal ethics prevented her from falling out with Chu Wanqing. If it were someone else, she definitely wouldn't have tolerated it.

As the mother and daughter were talking, Yun Lang arrived, and Yun Jin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After the three women finished eating, Yun Jin said, "Mother, I want to make a heated kang bed for Lang'er's room."

"A heated kang (traditional Chinese bed)?" Chu Wanqing was taken aback. "What's that?"

Yun Jin explained the principles and benefits of the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). After listening, Chu Wanqing's eyes lit up: "This thing really warms you from head to toe when you lie on it?"

Yun Jin nodded: "Yes, Mother, it works very well. Lang'er is weak and afraid of the cold. With the heated kang, winters are much more comfortable."

Chu Wanqing immediately made the decision: "Do it! Just tell me what you need, and I'll have someone take care of it."

Just as Yun Jin was about to speak, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside. Bi Tao lifted the curtain and entered, her expression somewhat strange: "Madam, Second Miss, someone from Prince Yu's residence has arrived."

Chu Wanqing was taken aback: "Prince Yu's residence? What are you doing here?"

Bitao said, "The gatekeeper said that several carriages arrived, carrying several carts of bricks, stones, and sand, and there was also a man who looked like a steward, who said he was looking for the second young lady."

Yun Jin was also stunned for a moment, then stood up, vaguely guessing what was going on.

She glanced at Chu Wanqing and said, "Mother, I'll go out and take a look first."

Chu Wanqing also stood up and straightened her clothes: "I'll go with you."

The mother and daughter walked quickly outside, through the corridor, around the screen wall, and into the front yard.

Sure enough, four carriages were parked at the entrance, fully loaded. A middle-aged man in his forties stood in front of the carriages; he was Guan Shan, the steward of Prince Yu's mansion.

Upon seeing Yun Jin emerge, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Miss Yun, His Highness has instructed me to bring men to build a heated kang (heated brick bed) and a heated wall for your residence. These materials were specially prepared by His Highness. Please let me know if you need anything else."

Yun Jin felt a warmth in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged as she nodded slightly: "Uncle Guan, you've worked hard. Please thank His Highness for me."

Chu Wanqing stood aside, looking at the carts of materials and then at Yun Jin, feeling both surprised and delighted.

She lowered her voice and asked Yun Jin, "Jin'er, this heated kang bed and heated walls...were it you who suggested it to Prince Yu?"

Yun Jin nodded and said softly, "Yesterday at Prince Yu's residence, I helped the prince draw up the blueprints, and he said he wanted to promote it in the north. I didn't expect him to have someone come to our residence to build it so quickly."

Chu Wanqing suppressed her thoughts and smiled at Guan Shan, "Steward Guan, you've worked hard. It's so cold. Please come in and have a cup of hot tea."

Guan Shan quickly waved his hand: "Madam, you are too kind. I dare not delay what the Prince has ordered. Where do you think would be a suitable place to build this kang (heated brick bed)? The Prince has instructed me to prepare enough materials to build two rooms."

Yun Jin thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Guan, I want to build a heated kang (traditional heated bed) for my mother, my younger brother Yun Lang, and myself. If there are any extra materials, I'd also like to build a low fire wall inside the house, not too high, just enough to keep the house warm."

Guan Shan bowed and said, "Please arrange for someone to lead the way, Miss Yun."

Chu Wanqing quickly had someone summon Chai Qing and instructed him, "Take some men and go with Steward Guan and the others. Help out if you can, and also learn how to build these heated brick beds and walls."

Chu Wanqing instructed, "We can build our own in our mansion in the future."

Chai Qing responded and quickly led his men forward to help.

The craftsmen brought by Guanshan were quick and efficient, unloading trucks, moving bricks, and mixing mud in an orderly manner.

Yun Jin stood aside, watching them stack the blue bricks one by one. She recalled the scene of watching Fu Ping build the wall at Prince Yu's mansion yesterday and sighed inwardly. Indeed, people in this era can get things done faster than anyone else as long as they have someone to guide them.

Chu Wanqing invited Guan Shan to rest in the reception room, but he refused: "Madam, you don't need to worry about me. I need to personally oversee the matters the Prince instructed me to attend to. Please have Miss Yun arrange for someone to take me to your courtyard so I can help Miss Yun with the construction first."

Yun Jin hurriedly asked Chunxi to lead the way.

Just as Yun Jin was about to follow, Chu Wanqing grabbed her hand and whispered, "Jin'er, His Highness Prince Yu...does he...?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "Mother, perhaps His Highness Prince Yu thought that the heated kang and heated walls were my idea, so he arranged this."

Chu Wanqing glanced at her and gave her a meaningful smile: "Whatever you say goes."

Yun Jin blushed and turned to leave, saying, "Mother, I'll go with them and take a look."

Xuezhai.

Hearing the commotion outside, Yunxiu frowned and said, "Lixiang, go see what's going on."

Lixiang responded and left. After a while, she ran back and said to Yunxiu, "Miss, they said someone from the Prince Yu's mansion has come to build some kind of heated kang bed and heated wall for the Madam, the Second Miss, and the Young Master. I heard it's very warm, and you can be warmed from head to toe when you sleep on it."

Yunxiu was drawing her eyebrows when she paused, her face darkening.

She put down her eyebrow pencil and said coldly, "Prince Yu's residence? Have you inquired why we've come?"

Lixiang shook her head: "I didn't find out the specifics."

Yunxiu muttered under her breath, "Useless." She waved her hand and said, "You can leave now."

Her eyes were dark. She gave it to Yun Langjian, but not to her. Why?

It must be Yun Jin. Why would Prince Yu help her? Could it be that he has really taken a liking to her?

No, she has to do something.

In the front yard, the craftsmen have already started their work.

Yun Jin stood under the corridor, watching the busy figures, a slight smile playing on her lips.

This winter, it won't be cold.
