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

Seeing no movement outside and the steward lying stiffly on the floor, Liu Sanlaizi was terrified. He scrambled to the corner of the bed, frantically searching for a weapon while shouting, his voice trembling with fear, "You...you stay away! You...do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is...the Prefect! You...if you dare lay a finger on me, my brother-in-law will absolutely not forgive you!"

Yun Jin turned around, pulled the dagger from the door panel, wiped the blood off the blade with a cloth, and said sneer, "Oh? You mean the prefect's concubine's sister? I'd like to know if the prefect would risk his official hat for a good-for-nothing who forcibly abducts women and forces them into prostitution?"

Liu Sanlaizi was speechless, choked by the words. Looking at Yun Jin getting closer and closer, his voice trembled with tears: "Don't kill me! I'll give you money! I have plenty of money!"

Yun Jin approached step by step, her eyes devoid of any emotion: "Your money? Once you're dead, everything in this house will naturally be mine."

Liu Sanlaizi turned pale with fright and cried out urgently, "Young hero, spare my life! My money is hidden in another house! Don't kill me, I'll take you to get it!"

Yun Jin blinked, slowly sheathed her short sword, picked up her horn bow, nocked a bamboo arrow soaked in medicine, and drew the bowstring taut: "Where is that courtyard?"

"Yes..." Liu Sanlaizi swallowed hard, tentatively suggesting, "That place is hard to find, young hero. How about I take you there myself..."

"Enough with the nonsense." Yun Jin's arrow tip remained pointed at his chest, her tone as cold as ice. "I'll count to three. If you don't give me your address by then, you'll end up like that guy on the ground. This arrow of mine will kill on sight."

She gestured with her chin toward the butler on the ground, "Three—two—"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Before he could even utter the word "I," Liu Sanlaizi was already terrified and hurriedly shouted, "It's on that street over there! There's an old jujube tree in the yard! The gatekeeper is a deaf and mute old man! The door knocker is made of brass, with a red '福' (fortune) character engraved on it!"

Yun Jin stared into his eyes for a long time, seeing the fear on his face, which didn't seem like he was lying. She then slowly lowered her bow and arrow: "I'll go check now. If you dare lie, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell when I get back!"

Liu Sanlai shook his head vigorously: "I'm not lying, it's all true!"

Yun Jin took out a rope, tied Liu Sanlaizi behind his back to the bedpost, and then gagged him with a strip of cloth.

She wanted to check first whether the house Liu Sanlaizi mentioned was real or not, and then deal with this good-for-nothing when she got back. There was no reason not to take away free money.

Yun Jin left the main house and walked towards the woodshed by the moonlight.

The door to the woodshed was bolted with a thick wooden bolt. She reached out and pushed it, and the bolt clicked to the ground.

The door had barely opened a crack when a rustling sound came from inside.

She pushed open the door and saw the girl with her hair in two buns huddled in the corner. Hearing the noise, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with anger and vigilance.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Yun Jin stepped forward and reached out to pull the gag out of her mouth.

The girl coughed twice, looked at the thin, veiled figure in front of her, and asked hesitantly, "You...you really came to save me?" Her voice was still a little hoarse, but it was filled with stubbornness.

"Of course it's true." Yun Jin said in a low voice as she untied the ropes binding her hands, "I've taken care of everyone in this house. I'll take you away later, but you have to do me a favor first."

The girl paused for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and a message floated above her head: "Chen Mengyao: Favorability 45%".

She stretched her wrists, which were numb from being tied up, and looked up at Yun Jin: "What do you need my help with? I'll do anything to get revenge!"

"It's simple." Yun Jin tossed the rope aside. "That Liu Sanlaizi who captured you, I've tied him to the bedpost in the main room. I have to go out and take care of some things. Keep an eye on him for me, don't let him get away."

She paused, then added, "You can do whatever you want with him, vent your anger however you like, but don't kill him yet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mengyao clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger: "Fine! I'll keep watch for you!" She paused, rubbed her stomach, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm just... a little hungry... is there anything to eat?"

Yun Jin took out a sesame seed cake and handed it over, then pointed to the door and said, "Come with me."

The two walked through the courtyard toward the main house. As soon as they entered, Chen Mengyao saw Liu Sanlaizi, who was tied to the bedpost with his hands behind his back. His mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and he was struggling and making "woofing" noises.

Chen Mengyao was instantly enraged and rushed forward to kick him hard: "You bastard! You're the one who did bad things!"

Liu Sanlaizi winced in pain, his eyes blazing with rage.

"Don't rush into anything." Yun Jin pulled her back, turned around and poured a glass of warm water, secretly adding half a glass of water from her spatial spring. "Eat something first to line your stomach, then you can deal with him slowly when you have the strength. Don't get too close to him. Even though the rope is tied tightly, it's always good to be on guard."

Chen Mengyao took the water glass, gulped down two mouthfuls, then took a big bite of the sesame seed cake. Sitting at the table, she glared at Liu Sanlaizi, muttering, "Wait till I'm full, I'll make you pay!"

Seeing her like this, Yun Jin felt a little relieved.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Chen Mengyao suddenly asked, "By the way, what about the young master who saved me this morning? The one in the blue robe, did you see him?"

"He's safe," Yun Jin said. "We'll go find him together when I get back."

She was actually planning to make Huang Weixue suffer a bit more so that he might not be so reckless in the future.

The most important thing right now is to go and see the house that Liu Sanlaizi mentioned. Going to the capital to recognize relatives is not something that can be done on a whim. She needs to settle down, and she must have money in hand.

Once Yun Jin was sure Chen Mengyao could manage on her own, she turned and quickly walked towards the backyard. When she reached the backyard wall, she climbed over it and headed straight for the small courtyard.

The courtyard was easily recognizable, and she found it quickly.

She climbed over the wall and went inside. The deaf-mute old man guarding the courtyard was already fast asleep, snoring evenly.

Yun Jin wandered around the courtyard and finally found the main house. In a corner of the main house, she found the mechanism, opened the secret room, and revealed a hidden door in the wall of the main house.

She pushed open the door and lit a tinderbox. She was immediately stunned. The hidden door led to a storeroom, which contained more than a dozen wooden boxes. She went in and opened the top box, which was full of gold and silver ingots, neatly stacked. The boxes next to it contained various jade artifacts, pearls and agates, and even two luminous pearls.

This Liu Sanlaizi has hidden so many treasures!

Just as Yun Jin was about to start packing up, she suddenly heard very light footsteps behind her.

She turned around abruptly and saw that the deaf-mute old man, who should have been fast asleep, was standing at the door, holding a fire poker in his hand, his eyes sharp as an eagle.

Before Yun Jin could speak, the old man had already raised his fire poker and struck her with swift, fierce movements.

Yun Jin quickly drew her sword from her spatial storage to parry, and with a clang, sparks flew everywhere.

She didn't want to hurt the old man, so she didn't take out the poisoned dagger.

During the fight with the old man, it was discovered that although his moves were ruthless, he never aimed for vital points. Moreover, the sign above his head read "Chai Wu: Favorability 40%", indicating that he clearly did not intend to kill him.
