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

Just as the winter snow had reached halfway up the mountain and they were preparing to continue climbing down, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the top of the cliff.

"Winter Snow... I'm here, save me!"

Dongxue suddenly looked up and saw Yunjin hanging on the mountain wall, one hand gripping a protrusion tightly, the other waving at her.

Dongxue felt relieved and quickly climbed up, reaching Yunjin's side in a few moments, and pulled her up from the cliff.

After they regained their footing, Dongxue hugged her tightly, her voice trembling, "Miss, you scared me to death! I thought..."

Yun Jin patted her on the back and said with a smile, "I told you nothing would happen, see how I am now?"

She released Dongxue and looked down to see that the wound on Dongxue's arm was still bleeding. She quickly tore off a strip from her clothes to bandage it for her.

Although she has everything in her space, she would never take anything out in front of Dongxue.

Dongxue shook her head and said, "Miss, don't wrap it up. If I go back looking like this, people will be more convinced that something really happened to you."

Yun Jin knew she was right, nodded, and insisted on applying hemostatic medicine to her wound. Then she said to her, "Go to the bottom of the ravine and create some traces to make me disappear without a trace. When people from the city come, go back and check on my mother. Remember not to tell her I'm still alive; just say we haven't been found yet."

Dongxue hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss, are you really not going to tell your family the truth?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "I won't tell. Only if they also believe that my fate is unknown can I keep it from everyone. I'll take this opportunity to collect some interest."

Dongxue had no choice but to nod in agreement, and then requested, "I will go back to see Madam, and then I will come out of the city to find you."

"No, at most three days. I'll give you a signal. After you go back and see my mother, ask Eagle Claw if they've caught anyone. If they have, get a confession for me." Yun Jin refused her request and led Dong Xue to do whatever she wanted.

Dongxue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss, where are you going? Let me accompany you; it's too dangerous for you to go alone. What if..."

"Don't ask anymore, it's better if you don't know." Yun Jin shook her head. "Don't worry, I will protect myself. Although my kung fu is not as good as yours, I still have the ability to protect myself."

Dongxue gritted her teeth and finally nodded, saying, "Alright. Please be careful, Miss."

As she spoke, she took out a signal arrow from her bosom and handed it to Yun Jin, "Miss, if things go wrong, you can use this to send a signal, and the prince's men will arrive immediately upon seeing it."

Yun Jin nodded and accepted, and the two went their separate ways.

Winter snow climbed down the cliff face back to the valley floor and made a camouflage on the ground.

She created a series of messy footprints in the snow, crooked and bloody, which stretched to a hillside where the snow had been blown away by the wind and then disappeared.

She hung the strip of cloth that Yunli had torn from her clothes on a tree branch where the footprints disappeared, before retracing her steps.

She disguised herself and just then heard a commotion coming from the top of the mountain stream. She quickly leaped up the cliff and saw Chu Duanshan. She said those words to Chu Duanshan and then returned to the city.

Under the cover of night, Yun Jin stealthily made her way towards the hot spring resort where Ya Min was.

The villa was built halfway up the mountain, covering a considerable area. It was surrounded by high walls and guarded by numerous soldiers, making it extremely well-defended.

None of this stumped Yun Jin. She first changed into a black night outfit in her spatial dimension, covered her face with a black veil, and only revealed her eyes.

When she emerged from the space, she was already inside the manor. She avoided the night patrols and quietly made her way to Ya Min's room window.

The lights were on inside.

Ya Min was still awake, sitting on the couch talking with Xiao Ya and Gao Shan.

"Princess, do you think that adopted daughter of the Yun family is really dead?" Xiao Ya's voice came from inside the house, tinged with schadenfreude.

Ya Min took a sip of her tea, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Falling off such a high cliff, how could anyone survive?"

Gao Shan covered her mouth and chuckled, "She deserved to die. Who told her to be so arrogant and dare to oppose the princess? A country bumpkin like her, did she even deserve it?"

A hint of smugness flashed in Ya Min's eyes, but she sighed insincerely, "What a pity. I kindly invited her out to play, how could she have gotten into this mess? How am I going to explain this to her mother when we get back?"

Xiao Ya quickly said, "Princess, how can this be your fault? It's just her bad luck. Besides, who knows who she offended and attracted assassins? What does it have to do with you?"

Gao Shan chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Princess, please don't blame yourself. She's dead, so be it. The Yun family has only lost an adopted daughter; who will care?"

Yun Jin, standing outside the window, couldn't help but sneer upon hearing their words. Sure enough, the noble ladies in the capital were all opportunistic and snobbish. In the end, it all came down to her own low status.

Inside, Yamin yawned and said, "Alright, stop talking about her, she's such a spoilsport. It's getting late, you should all go back and rest."

Xiao Ya and Gao Shan stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

After the two left, the room became quiet.

Yamin lay in bed, with calming incense burning in the room, and soon fell asleep.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yun Jin went into her spatial dimension and changed into a white dress. She let her hair down, put on a tall white hat, and painted her face white, making her look like the White Impermanence.

Then she followed the spatial flow into the room, drugged the maid on night watch, and stood by Ya Min's bedside.

She took out a thin white ribbon from her spatial storage, flicked it gently, and the ribbon floated down onto Ya Min's face.

Ya Min groggily reached out to touch it, her hand feeling cold and slippery. She suddenly opened her eyes.

A deathly pale face hung before her, a tall white hat, a long tongue, and dark, hollow eye sockets.

Yamin tried to scream, but no sound came out. She wanted to run, but her whole body felt like it was nailed to the bed, unable to move at all.

She could only stare wide-eyed in horror at the face that was getting closer and closer.

"You have taken a life, and someone has reported you to the King of Hell." Yun Jin spoke, her voice hoarse and low, seemingly both distant and near. "I have been ordered by the King of Hell to arrest you and bring you in for questioning."

Yamin trembled all over, desperately shrinking back, muttering, "I won't go! What right do you have to arrest me! I didn't harm her, she deserved to die!"

"Unrepentant to the end." Yun Jin sneered, flicking out a white silk ribbon that wrapped around Ya Min's neck. With a sharp pull, she declared, "Quickly come with me to the King of Hell to have our say!"

"No!" Ya Min struggled desperately, trying to reach out and tear off the white silk, but she couldn't tear it off no matter what she did.

Yun Jin's face moved forward again, her dark eyes on her pale face meeting Ya Min's eyes. Ya Min's eyes rolled back, her body went limp, and she fainted completely.
