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

Tuoba Hui shrank back and whispered, "It's that girl Yun Jin, complaining that people can't enter the space. Maybe... we should upgrade her space?"

King Yama shook his head vigorously: "No! If we level up now, she'll know we did it on purpose. We should wait until she has a fortuitous encounter or obtains some treasure, then level up secretly, and she won't suspect us."

Tuoba Hui had to give Yama a big thumbs up; after all, he was a man of great stature, with a lot of cunning tricks up his sleeve.

Yun Jin was unaware of all this; she was simply complaining, never imagining that the two ghosts had actually heard her mutterings.

She looked at the dilapidated house in front of her, took out a broom from her spatial storage, swept away the cobwebs, took out a straw mat and spread it on the broken bed. First, she took out a bowl of cooked noodles from her spatial storage. The noodles were still hot, just as they had been when she put them in. She put two slices of braised beef into the noodles, and with the noodles, she ate a sesame flatbread.

After finishing her meal, she drank half a bowl of spring water from her spatial storage before taking out medicinal powder and bamboo arrows from her space. She mixed the powder according to the correct proportions, poured it into a bowl, added water, stirred it well, soaked the arrowheads in the medicinal solution, and placed it in the corner of the wall.

She then prepared several doses of wound medicine, wrapped them in paper, and took out a charcoal pencil to mark them.

She took out a set of bedding from her spatial storage, covered herself with the bedding, and fell asleep immediately.

forecourt.

After Liu Sanlaizi fainted, the mansion was thrown into chaos.

The steward rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and while having him carried into the bedroom, he also arranged for someone to call the family physician.

No one cared about the girl who had been arrested. The housekeeper had her locked back in her previous room, waiting for Liu Sanlaizi to wake up before taking any further action.

When the physician arrived, he busied himself with Liu Sanlaizi for a long time, administering acupuncture and medicine. He broke out in a sweat, but finally shook his head and said to the steward, "Third Master's symptoms... seem like he's been drugged, but I really can't tell what kind of drug it is, nor can I cure it."

He paused, then said to the butler, "We should quickly inform the old lady and the madam, and let them make a decision!"

The housekeeper knew he couldn't make a decision on this matter, so he quickly arranged for someone to go to the backyard to inform Madam Liu and Old Madam Liu.

Madam Liu and Old Madam Liu rushed to the front yard. When she saw Liu Sanlaizi's condition and heard what the family doctor had said, she grabbed Old Madam Liu's sleeve and burst into tears: "Mother, what should we do? What if something happens to Third Master..."

Grandma Liu frowned as she looked at her son, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. His breathing was even, and his complexion was relatively normal. She composed herself and patted Madam Liu's hand: "Why are you crying? It hasn't come to that. Butler!"

"This old servant is here," the steward hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in response.

"Go, have someone prepare a carriage and send a message to the prefect's house to tell my aunt to ask the prefect's physician to come and take a look," Old Madam Liu said in a deep voice. "The doctor in the prefect's house will surely have a solution."

Upon hearing this, the steward's face showed some difficulty, and he hesitated before speaking, "Madam, although the young lady is favored by the prefect, the physician in the manor serves the master and the principal wife, and we... I'm afraid we can't afford to hire him. Besides, it takes more than half an hour to travel from here to the prefect's office and back, what if..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear—if they were late or couldn't get anyone to come, all their efforts would be in vain.

Grandma Liu was stunned, clearly not expecting this detail.

Although she usually relied on her daughter being the prefect's concubine to put on airs in front of the neighbors, she was not confident in actually ordering people around in the prefect's residence.

"Then...what should we do?" Mrs. Liu asked, sobbing.

The steward thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to Jishetang and invite Doctor Li? Doctor Li is a famous doctor in our Yizhou City, and his medical skills are also very good."

Grandma Liu slapped her thigh: "That's right! Quick, go and invite him! Bring plenty of money, make sure he comes as soon as possible!"

The steward dared not delay and quickly set up a carriage to go to Jishetang to invite people.

Before long, an old man with a white beard carrying a medicine chest was invited in by the steward. He was none other than Doctor Li from Jishetang.

Doctor Li entered the bedroom, first taking Liu Sanlaizi's pulse, then flipping his eyelids, his eyes flashing almost imperceptibly.

"Dr. Li, what's wrong with my son?" Old Mrs. Liu asked anxiously.

Doctor Li put down his medicine box, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Master Liu has been drugged with a kind of sleeping potion. It's not very strong; it just makes him sleepy for a while. There's nothing serious about it."

"Can that be resolved?" Madam Liu asked hurriedly.

Doctor Li shook his head: "This medicine has a special formula, and I can't concoct an antidote for a while. Fortunately, the effects of the medicine are quick, and it will take effect quickly. It should wake up on its own in two or three hours at most."

"Really?" Hearing this, Old Mrs. Liu finally felt relieved. "Then don't you need to get some medicine?"

"No need," said Doctor Li. "Just let him lie down and rest. When he wakes up, he can drink some water and eat some light porridge or soup, and he'll be fine."

Grandma Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the steward to bring ten taels of silver, which she handed to Doctor Li: "Thank you, Doctor Li, please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Doctor Li accepted the money without hesitation, put it in his pocket, and gave a few more instructions, "Don't get angry after you wake up," before leaving with his medicine box on his back.

After seeing Doctor Li off, Madam Liu glanced at her husband on the bed and said to Old Madam Liu, "Mother, I'll stay here and watch over him. You go back and rest. I'll send someone to tell you when he wakes up."

Grandma Liu nodded and said, "It's good that you're here with me; it puts my mind at ease."

She then said to the housekeeper, "Don't tell those women in the backyard, lest they come and cause trouble."

The housekeeper acknowledged and watched as Old Mrs. Liu's figure disappeared through the door.

With Liu Sanlaizi down, no one cared about Huang Weixue and the girl anymore; at least for now, they were safe.

Yun Jin didn't rush to save Huang Weixue. She wanted Huang Weixue to remember this lesson: if you don't have the ability to help others, don't rush to do so.

When Yun Jin woke up, it was already completely dark. She listened intently and found no one nearby. It seemed that this dilapidated courtyard was indeed a forgotten corner of the Liu family.

She took out a tinderbox and, by the dim light, took out the bamboo arrows one by one from the corner of the wall. She carefully wiped the water off the tips of the arrows with a rag and put them back into the quiver.

He then took out a short knife, evenly coated the blade with medicine, and waited for the medicine to dry in the shade before taking out a black cloth from his spatial storage and covering his head and face, leaving only his clear eyes exposed.

With everything prepared, she slipped out of the storeroom like a night owl and crept forward by the moonlight.

The backyard was very quiet, and the people in each courtyard were mostly fast asleep, showing that they were indifferent to what was happening in the front yard.

There are six separate courtyards in the backyard. Old Mrs. Liu's residence is relatively large, and next to her is Mrs. Liu's courtyard.

The remaining four courtyards were inhabited by Liu Sanlaizi's concubines, with three concubines living in each courtyard, totaling more than a dozen.

From the westernmost courtyard came the sounds of two women complaining.

"I brought soup to visit her, but the madam and the housekeeper chased me back. Do they really think I'm eager to serve them?" A sweet voice said with dissatisfaction.

Another voice chimed in, "Who says otherwise? The master has been lying there all afternoon and still hasn't woken up. Who knows..." She lowered her voice, "Shouldn't we make some plans? We can't just stay in this courtyard forever."

Yun Jin's lips curled into a cold smile. This Liu Sanlaizi usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, yet there wasn't a single person around him who truly cared for him.

She didn't rush forward, but instead went around to other courtyards.

Most of the concubines had already gone to sleep, and only faint breathing could be heard in the room.

Yun Jin gently pushed open the door, used the moonlight to drug them, tied them up tightly, and stuffed strips of cloth into their mouths.

She then unceremoniously stuffed all the jewelry boxes and hidden silver ingots in the room into her spatial storage.

After tidying up the sleeping concubines, when it came to the two complaining concubines, she simply pushed the door open and entered.
