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

Yun Jin leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "I need my sister to 'save' my life so I can go back unharmed. Tomorrow, my sister can find an excuse to go out and 'pick me up'. I'll stay here for a few days to recover before returning to the city."

Shen Qingyun looked her up and down, then couldn't help but laugh: "Where are you injured?"

Yun Jin smiled, a hint of slyness in her eyes: "Sister, I see through it but I won't say it."

Shen Qingyun shook her head, couldn't help but laugh, and pointed at her, saying, "You! Fine, I'll help you. Tell me, what do I need to do?"

Then Yun Jin told Shen Qingyun about her plan. The two discussed the details, and then Yun Jin took her leave of the villa where Shen Qingyun was staying.

After leaving the manor, Yun Jin walked to the back of a secluded hillside, took out the whistle that Dong Xue had given her from her bosom, and blew it a few times.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Dongxue appeared in front of her. Upon seeing her, she first checked her over from head to toe, and only after confirming that she was alright did she feel relieved: "Miss, it's so good that you're alright."

Yun Jin smiled at her: "I told you I'd protect myself, so you can rest assured now. Alright, let's get down to business. Tell me, have those assassins been caught?"

Dongxue nodded and lowered her voice, saying, "We caught them. There are five in total. Eagle Claw has interrogated them, but they're very stubborn and haven't said a word yet."

She paused, then continued, "The Prince has rushed back from the northern border overnight and should be back in the capital in less than five days. Miss, are you really not going to tell the Prince the truth?"

Yun Jin was silent for a moment before speaking, "Let's talk about it when he returns. I'll be going to the Crown Prince's villa tomorrow to recuperate there for the next few days, so you don't need to worry about me for now. Tell him when the Prince returns to the capital."

Dongxue breathed a sigh of relief. She was just afraid that if she told him to tell the prince, she wouldn't be able to withstand his wrath. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Miss, should we continue interrogating those assassins?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "Since she won't say, then I won't ask. When the Prince returns to the capital, if he wants to ask, let him ask her himself."

Dongxue stepped forward, took her arm, and asked, "Miss, where are we going now?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "You can't be with me for the next few days. You need to continue pretending that you haven't found it yet. Also, when you have time, go see my mother and try to persuade her."

She paused, then continued, "I must have been frightened after falling from such a height. I'll stay with Sister Shen for a few days to recover. You can come back before the Prince returns to the capital."

Dongxue asked worriedly, "Miss, where did you go today?"

Yun Jin patted her hand: "I'm going to find a warm room to rest. You don't need to worry about me, go ahead and do your work."

Helpless, Dongxue could only respond and turn to disappear into the night.

Yun Jin watched Dong Xue's figure disappear into the darkness. She withdrew her gaze, walked behind a sheltered rock, and with a thought, entered the space.

She had raised the horse in the space to be plump and strong, and decided to leave it in the space as her means of transportation.

She indulged in a luxurious bath in the spiritual spring and then fell asleep in the space.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Shen Qingyun went to Jingxin Nunnery with her maid.

She offered incense at Jingxin Nunnery, ate vegetarian food, and added some money for incense oil before taking her leave with her maid.

The carriage slowly made its way back along the mountain road. As it reached a hillside, a faint voice suddenly came from the roadside: "Help...help..."

"Stop the car." Shen Qingyun lifted the car curtain and glanced outside. "Go see who it is."

An old woman and two maids got out of the carriage and followed the sound, finding a person in the roadside bushes.

The man was huddled among the withered grass and rocks, his clothes torn in several places by tree branches, with several bloody marks on his face, his hair disheveled, his whole body trembling, and his face as pale as a ghost.

The maid was startled and rushed back to report: "Your Highness, she's alive, it's a girl. She seems to be injured, she can't speak, and she's trembling."

Shen Qingyun got out of the car, walked to the girl, squatted down, and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong? Where do you live? I'll have someone take you home."

The girl raised her head, revealing a face as pale as paper, her lips frozen purple, her eyes unfocused, and her whole body trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Shen Qingyun's maid asked warily, "Who exactly are you? Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"

The girl couldn't speak, she just shook her head.

Shen Qingyun waved her hand: "Don't ask now, take her back first."

The maidservant quickly reminded her, "Your Highness, this person's origins are unknown..."

Shen Qingyun sighed and said, "What can she do to me, she's just a young girl? Alright, help her into the car and give her some hot water to warm her up."

The maid had no choice but to agree and help the girl into the carriage.

Shen Qingyun then got into the car, took out a thick cloak from the side and draped it over her shoulders, then poured a bowl of hot tea and handed it to her, saying gently, "Miss, have some hot tea to warm yourself up."

The girl took the teacup and sipped it slowly, shrinking into her cloak like a frightened little animal.

Shen Qingyun didn't ask any more questions, but simply told the driver to hurry on their way.

The carriage stopped at the manor. Shen Qingyun had the girl settled in the east wing room and instructed the maid to fetch a doctor.

After the maids left, Shen Qingyun closed the door, walked to the bedside, looked down at her, and couldn't help but laugh: "You look so disheveled, was it really necessary to go to such lengths? Your face is scratched like that, doesn't it hurt?"

The girl sat up, leaned against the pillow, and said nonchalantly, "Falling down from such a high ravine and not getting a single scratch, isn't that too unbelievable? Those people aren't stupid."

This person was Yun Jin, and the wounds on her body were inflicted by her with a tree branch.

To be honest, it hurt quite a bit.

Shen Qingyun said helplessly, "Aren't you going to let your family know? I heard your mother, your maternal grandparents are very worried."

Yun Jin shook her head and said, "Let's not tell them yet. They're not in a hurry, so how will they believe me? Besides, I'm terrified and can't say anything. I need to rest for a few days. Let them be smug for a few days."

Shen Qingyun looked at her but didn't ask any more questions, knowing that she had her own ideas.

The doctor arrived quickly, took Yun Jin's pulse, and stroked his beard, saying, "This young lady has been frightened and has some minor injuries. She needs to rest for a few days. I will prescribe some calming and restorative medicine; she should recover in a few days."

Shen Qingyun had her maid escort the doctor out and then ordered someone to fetch the medicine.

And so, Yun Jin settled down at Shen Qingyun's estate. She took her medicine, ate, and slept every day.

Shen Qingyun and her maid had never seen her in public, so it was normal that they didn't recognize her.

So apart from Shen Qingyun, no one knows her true identity.

She was indeed terrified, often having nightmares and screaming at night. Whenever asked about her experience, she would avoid talking about it.
