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

The curtain was lifted, and Madam Chen walked in, carrying a brocade box in her hands, a smile on her face: "Mother, I heard that Jin'er has arrived."

She then looked at Yun Jin and stuffed a box into her hand. "Jin'er, this is something your uncle sent someone to bring back from the south. I specially saved a copy for you. Take it back and play with it."

Yun Jin opened the box in her hand and saw that it contained pearl hair ornaments and jewelry. She was both touched and helpless, and could only say thank you, "Thank you, Aunt."

Chen held her hand, her eyes full of concern: "We've heard the rumors outside, but don't take them to heart. Your mother is perfectly fine, how could she be a jinx to your parents? Those people are just idle and gossiping. No matter what others say, we family know what's really going on."

Yun Jin looked at Lan Ying with a puzzled expression. When she saw Lan Ying nod slightly at her, she knew that Lan Ying had already told Chen Shi about this matter, probably because she was afraid that Chen Shi would neglect her.

Her heart warmed, and she nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Aunt, I understand."

After sitting for a while and exchanging a few words with Yun Jin, Chen got up and said, "I'll go check on how the kitchen is preparing. I learned how to make hot pot from my cousin Lan Qi, so we'll have it today too."

Chu Duanshan also stood up and said, "Jin'er, you chat with your grandmother. I'll go arrange to send more people to Lang'er."

After saying that, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Only Yun Jin and her granddaughter Lan Ying remained inside the house.

Yun Jin looked at Lan Ying and asked softly, "Grandmother, have you investigated the people who served my mother back then?"

Lan Ying shook her head and sighed: "We haven't found any clues about the people who served your mother during childbirth. I suspect they were silenced."

Yun Jin remained silent for a moment, then decided to go back and ask Ling Feng for a solution. Ling Feng was a professional at gathering information, and perhaps he could find some different clues.

Lan Ying didn't want to upset her about this, so she changed the subject and asked about the opening of the medicinal cuisine shop.

Yun Jin said it's still under renovation, but it should be open before the Lunar New Year.

Lan Ying then asked about Yun Lang's studies. Yun Jin said that he was studying at the Zheng family school, where Mr. Qiu taught well, and Yun Lang was also very diligent.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Yun Jin accompanied Lan Ying, Chu Duanshan, and Chen Shi to have a hot pot meal.

After the meal, Yun Jin got up to say goodbye.

Lan Ying saw her to the door, took her hand, and whispered, "Jin'er, no matter what those people outside say, your grandmother believes in you. Remember, you are not alone."

Yun Jin nodded vigorously, turned around, and got into the carriage.

The carriage left the General's Mansion, but instead of heading directly back to the Yun Mansion, it turned a corner and headed towards Weicao Hall.

Yun Jin got out of the carriage and went inside with Chun Xi. Manager Yang was sitting behind the counter using an abacus. When he saw her come in, he quickly got up to greet her.

"Miss, you've arrived. We've made progress in finding a new manager for you. There are two candidates; when would you like to meet them?"

Yun Jin thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a few more days. The shop isn't finished being renovated yet, so there's no rush."

She handed him the prepared hair growth kit, gave him a few more instructions, and then led Chunxi out of Weicaotang and headed to the medicinal cuisine shop next door.

The shop's renovation is almost finished.

Several carpenters were squatting on the ground assembling tables and chairs, with wood shavings and sawdust scattered all over the floor.

Zhao Tiezhu stood in the middle of the room, holding blueprints in his hand, directing them on the installation.

Upon seeing Yun Jin enter, Zhao Tiezhu quickly put down the blueprints he was holding and greeted her: "Miss has arrived!"

Yun Jin nodded, her gaze sweeping around the shop before she nodded in satisfaction: "Good progress, we should be able to open before the New Year."

Zhao Tiezhu smiled sheepishly and scratched his head: "Don't worry, Miss, it won't cause any problems."

Yun Jin nodded and asked, "Where did Shi Yong go?"

Zhao Tiezhu lowered his voice and said, "He went to keep an eye on Liu's courtyard. You know that kind of person, he can't stay idle."

Yun Jin frowned, her tone tinged with displeasure: "His injuries have just healed, why did he go again? I've arranged for someone to keep an eye on things there, he doesn't need to worry about it. Have someone go and call him back, I have other things to arrange for you to do."

Zhao Tiezhu quickly responded and turned to instruct a young man to call Shi Yong.

After everyone left

Zhao Tiezhu turned around, his face full of anger, and said, "Miss, we've heard all those rumors outside. They say you're a jinx, a cursed star, that's utter nonsense! What right do they have to say such things about you? Miss, is there anything we can do to help you?"

Yun Jin looked at him and comforted him, "Uncle Zhao, the reason I'm looking for Shi Yong is precisely because I want you to help me with something."

Zhao Tiezhu's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Okay! Anything that can help is fine! Miss, just give the order, and we'll do our best!"

Yun Jin didn't rush to speak. She first took a walk around the shop to check on the progress of the renovation.

Most of the tables and chairs have been built, the shelves have been erected, and the countertops are being polished. At this rate, we should be able to open before the new year.

After going around in circles, Shi Yong had already arrived.

His face was red from the cold, and he called out as soon as he entered, "Miss, you wanted to see me?"

Yun Jin glanced at him and nodded: "You two come with me."

Then he turned to Chunxi and said, "Keep an eye on things for me, and don't let anyone disturb us."

Chunxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Yun Jin led the two to a room upstairs. The room had been renovated and furnished with tables and chairs.

Upon entering the room, Zhao Tiezhu quickly wiped the chair with his sleeve, a smile plastered on his face as he looked after Yun Jin: "Miss, it's clean now, please sit here."

Yun Jin thanked them, walked over and sat down, saying to the two of them, "You two sit down too."

The two then sat down, and Shi Yong spoke first: "Miss, those rumors outside are too vicious. How can they say such things about you? We can't just let it go!"

Yun Jin looked at him and said, word by word, "I came to find you precisely because of this matter."

Shi Yong's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Miss, what do you need us to do?"

Yun Jin looked at Shi Yong, then at Zhao Tiezhu, and explained her plan.

After listening, Shi Yong and Zhao Tiezhu looked at each other, their faces showing hesitation and uncertainty.

Shi Yong hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss, is this... really going to work? Those people are spreading such rumors; might we end up making things worse by doing this?"

Zhao Tiezhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, Miss, we can't do that. You've been so good to us, we can't hurt you."

Yun Jin gave a meaningful smile: "Just do as I say. That's how you help me."

Seeing that the two were still hesitating, she had no choice but to explain to them again why she was doing this.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yong slammed his hand on the table: "Brilliant! Miss, don't worry, leave this to me and Brother Zhao! We guarantee we'll handle it perfectly!"
