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

Lan Ying looked at her daughter's appearance but didn't explain. She simply replied, "Yes, Jin'er must still be alive."

Chu Wanqing assumed her mother was just trying to comfort her, so she lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

Just then, a soft voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, are Madam Chu and Madam Yun inside? I, Xiaobai, request an audience."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ying immediately called towards the door, "Mingyue, let her in quickly."

Mingyue pushed open the door, and a woman dressed in plain clothes and wearing a veil walked in.

She was covered up completely, so her face was not visible.

Chu Wanqing looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman removed her veil and unveiled her face, revealing a pretty face. She looked at her with a smile and said, "Mother, it's me."

Chu Wanqing recognized the person in front of her, took two steps forward, and pulled Yun Jin into her arms, holding her tightly as if afraid she would disappear at any moment: "Jin'er... my Jin'er... you're alive... you're really alive... Mother thought you..."

Yun Jin leaned on her shoulder, gently patted Chu Wanqing's back, and softly comforted her, "Mother, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Lan Ying sat to the side, watching this scene, her eyes also reddening. After a long while, she finally spoke up to comfort her, "Alright, Wanqing, don't cry. It's a good thing that the child is back."

She paused, looked at Yun Jin, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes, "Grandma knew you wouldn't die. When no body was found at the bottom of that ravine, I knew you were still alive."

Yun Jin lifted her head from Chu Wanqing's embrace, looked at Lan Ying, and said softly, "Grandmother, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lan Ying waved her hand and sighed, "I am worried, but your grandmother believes in you. You are a thoughtful child, you won't die so easily."

She looked at Yun Jin, her gaze filled with a mixture of scrutiny and heartache. "Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you hide? Why didn't you come back?"

Yun Jin helped Chu Wanqing sit down in a chair, then walked over to Lan Ying and sat down next to her before recounting what had happened.

She didn't say that she had foreseen the plot and used it against her. She only said that she was lucky enough to grab onto a dead tree root on the cliff and survive. Later, she met Shen Qingyun. Because she had caught a cold and was feverish and unconscious, she temporarily recuperated at Shen Qingyun's villa. She only remembered these things after the fever subsided. However, she didn't know if anyone would be waiting for her on the road, so she didn't dare to return to the capital until Prince Yu came to find her yesterday.

She didn't say that she was just playing along, because keeping quiet would only make them feel more sorry for her.

After listening, Lan Ying remained silent for a long while, then her face turned ashen. She angrily exclaimed, "Ya Min? Consort Zheng? How dare they be so insolent! Do they really think my General's Mansion is just for show?"

Yun Jin shook her head and said softly, "Grandmother, please don't be angry. I've remembered this debt. But not now."

Chu Wanqing wiped away her tears, looked at Yun Jin with eyes full of heartache: "Jin'er, you've suffered so much."

Yun Jin said softly, "Mother, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

Chu Wanqing shook her head.

Lan Ying looked at Yun Jin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You invited me and your mother here because you don't plan to return to the manor, right? Tell me, what are your plans next? What do you need our cooperation with?"

Yun Jin couldn't help but praise her maternal grandmother, who was indeed wise. She said seriously, "Grandmother, Mother, I invited you here today because I really have something to discuss with you."

Lan Ying looked at her and nodded, saying, "Go ahead."

Chu Wanqing also said, "Yes, Jin'er. Just tell me what you need me and your grandmother to do."

Yun Jin looked at the two of them and said earnestly, "Grandmother, Mother, you gave up searching for me and pretended I was dead. And then you did this..."

Then, she explained her plan in detail.

After listening to her, Lan Ying said, "Don't worry, when Grandma goes back, she will tell your grandfather that we will definitely proceed according to plan."

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay. Mother will listen to you."

Yun Jin nodded, then took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Wanqing: "Mother, give these pills to Yun Heting after you get back."

Chu Wanqing took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and looked inside. She asked疑惑地问道, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Yun Jin said calmly, "It's medicine that will help his leg heal as quickly as possible."

Chu Wanqing was even more puzzled, and frowned, saying, "Jin'er, why are you helping him? Isn't it better if his leg doesn't get better?"

Yun Jin shook her head, her voice tinged with coldness: "Mother, if he doesn't go out and cause trouble, how can we find fault with him? His leg is injured, and he stays cooped up in the mansion all day; we can't find anything there. He'll only make mistakes when he goes out. Besides..."

She paused, then said in a low voice, "This medicine will help his leg heal quickly, but it will also make him infertile."

Chu Wanqing's eyes lit up immediately, but she asked worriedly, "What if he doesn't believe me and refuses to use it?"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Tell him to try finding a dog."

Chu Yaqing then took the porcelain bottle with peace of mind and put it away.

Soon the vegetarian meal was served, and the three of them ate it. Yun Jin left Jingxin Nunnery first. At Shen Qingyun's manor, everyone called her Little White Girl, and she wanted to go back to continue playing the role of Little White.

Lan Ying and Chu Wanqing then returned to the city.

After returning to the manor, Chu Wanqing went directly to the courtyard of Yunhe Pavilion.

Yun Heting was leaning against the bed drinking tea when she saw her come in. She was a little surprised and quickly put down her teacup and sat up straight: "Madam, you're back. I heard from the servants that you went out."

Chu Wanqing walked to the chair opposite him and sat down, saying in a low voice, "I'm going to the Jingxin Nunnery outside the city to pray for Jin'er."

After saying this, her eyes reddened, and after a long while, she continued, "Master, I know Jin'er is likely dead. These past few days, because of her, we've become estranged. You won't blame me, will you?"

Yun Heting was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "How could that be? Madam, we are one. I am also very sad about Jin'er's matter, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. I don't want you to be immersed in this matter. After all, we still have Lang'er."

Chu Wanqing lowered her head, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Master, you're right. I... I've thought it through. Jin'er... she's not coming back, so there's no use in me being sad. Lang'er is still young, I can't fall apart. I have to pull myself together, for Lang'er's sake."

Seeing her like this, Yun Heting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he pretended to be distressed and comforted her, "Madam, it's good that you can understand. Jin'er is unlucky, but we still have to live our lives."

Chu Wanqing raised her head, looked at him with a hint of guilt in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Master, I lost my temper with you that day and said those hurtful things... It was my fault. I just couldn't accept it for a moment, and I was upset, so I took it out on you. Please don't take it to heart."

Yun Heting was secretly pleased, but his face remained impassive. He sighed, "Madam, what are you saying? I'm heartbroken about Jin'er's accident. I understand your distress. We've been husband and wife for so many years, how could I hold a grudge against you?"

Chu Wanqing nodded, took out the small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and handed it over: "Master, this is medicine I found outside. It is said to have a miraculous effect on bone injuries. Please try it."
