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

Yun Jin did not return directly to Jinshu Pavilion, but went to Qingshui Garden first.

Chu Wanqing was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) frowning as she flipped through account books. Seeing her come in, she put down the book and beckoned for her to sit down beside her: "Why are you only coming back now?"

Yun Jin then briefly recounted her whereabouts that day.

After listening to her, Chu Wanqing nodded and said, "We should go and see them, especially the Zheng family. They're not really related, and if we don't visit them often, they'll only grow further apart."

Yun Jin nodded and took out a bottle of anti-wrinkle face cream, placing it in front of her: "Mother, this is a face cream I made for you. It can smooth out the lines on your face. Mother, try it. If it works well, I'll make you another one."

Chu Wanqing opened it, smelled it, and exclaimed in delight, "It smells so refreshing! Is this what your beauty shop is going to sell?"

Yun Jin nodded: "Yes, I'm planning to partner with my cousin Lan Qi at the medicinal cuisine shop next door. I'll have him help manage it. I've been thinking about it these past few days, and opening a shop is quite troublesome. It's better to have him help out and give him 40% of the profits. That way, I can save myself the trouble."

Chu Wanqing praised, "That's for the best. Lan Qi is good at business. It's good that you're not married yet. If you get married in the future, it might not be so convenient for you to travel."

After finishing her story, she suddenly sighed. "Jin'er, now that you're back, what should we do next? How do we expose Yunxiu's relationship with Liu Shi? Do you have any plans? I'm a little unsure."

Yun Jin was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Mother, don't worry. There are still three months left, we still have time."

Chu Wanqing grasped her hand: "But what about the evidence? Mother is always afraid that we won't be able to produce any evidence, and they'll turn the tables on us."

Yun Jin said calmly, "Mother is right. We do need more evidence now. We must find who sent me to Qingping County back then. We also plan to interrogate Zijuan, Doctor Du, and those two old women again. In addition, I plan to move them to a different place."

Chu Wanqing was taken aback: "Why do we need to change?"

Yun Jin paused for a moment, then explained, "Mother, keeping them at the manor requires someone to watch over them. If they run away or something unexpected happens, it will only cause trouble. So I'd like to move them to another place. Could you please not ask where exactly?"

Chu Wanqing looked at her and sighed helplessly, "Alright, Mother won't ask anymore."

Yun Jin glanced at the account book on the table and changed the subject: "Mother, when I came in just now you didn't look too well. Did something happen?"

Chu Wanqing sighed and leaned back in her chair: "Tomorrow is the Little New Year. The Fifth Prince told your father today that he will come to propose marriage tomorrow. Your father promised those relatives that he would invite them to the mansion for a banquet. Jin'er, your mother really doesn't want to deal with them."

Yun Jin poured her a cup of tea, went over the matter in her mind, and then said, "Mother, since we can't avoid this, let's try to handle it well. The more you care about their face today, the more others will sympathize with you when things go wrong."

After hearing her words, Chu Wanqing remained silent for a moment, then picked up her teacup and drank it down in sips before putting it down. She looked at Yun Jin with satisfaction: "Mother will listen to you."

Seeing that she had come to her senses, Yun Jin stood up, took her leave, and returned to Jinshu Pavilion.

Back in her room, she thought of the maid and woman who had escorted her to Qingping County. That woman might not necessarily be Liu Zhixue.

If it wasn't her, then who could it be? Could we find the person and prove our identity in the future?

We still need to ask Ling Feng for help with this.

Thinking of this, she spread out a piece of paper, wrote down what she needed to do, and then called out to the door, "Dongxue."

Dongxue came in as she was told, and Yunjin rolled up the note and handed it to her: "Try to give this to Lingfeng and ask him to help me investigate two people."

Dongxue took the note, nodded, turned and went out, disappearing into the night in a flash.

Yun Jin sat by the window, gazing at the dark night outside, thinking about Liu Zhixue.

Should Liu Zhixue bring him back first, or find an opportunity to expose him outside?

She thought about it for a long time and decided that she should keep the person under her watchful eye.

But how do we get it back?

Chu Wanqing kicked her out in a fit of anger, so there needs to be a suitable time and excuse. It would be better if Yunxiu brought it up herself.

As she was pondering this, Dongxue returned and knocked on the door to announce her arrival:

"Miss, I'm back. Ling Feng has seen it and told me to come back and tell you that he will do his best."

She paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, Miss, the guards the Prince arranged have arrived."

Yun Jin looked up at her: "How many have you arranged?"

Dongxue replied, "There are three of them, all of them were my former sisters. They're outside. Would you like to see them, Miss?"

Yun Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Let them in."

The curtain was lifted, and three young women filed in.

They wore ordinary cloth clothes and looked no different from ordinary maids, but their eyes were exceptionally bright, making them stand out from the crowd.

The three men entered, knelt on one knee, cupped their hands, and said in unison, "Your subordinates greet Miss."

Yun Jin helped them up, then asked, "What are your names, and what are you all good at?"

The round-faced woman on the far left raised her head: "This servant is Red Fox, skilled in tracking. As long as a trace is left, this servant can follow the clues to find the person."

The woman with the oval face in the middle said, "This servant is Zihu. I am skilled in ventriloquism and can imitate birds, beasts, human voices, and objects so realistically that it is hard to tell the difference."

The woman on the far right with a cold expression said, "This servant is White Fox. I am skilled in disguise and can blend into the crowd without leaving a trace."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jin was overjoyed; wasn't this exactly the kind of talent she needed?

She thought for a moment and said to Dongxue, "Tomorrow, find a broker and have them escort you into the mansion."

Dongxue quickly nodded in agreement.

Yun Jin then looked at the three of them: "However, you will have to change your names from now on. The red fox will be called Hong Ling, the purple fox will be called Zi Ling, and the white fox will be called Bai Ling. From now on, when you come to my side, you will receive five taels of silver per month, just like Dong Xue."

The three knelt down again, saying in unison, "Thank you, Miss, for bestowing upon us this name. From now on, Miss is our master. We will follow your lead without question, swearing to be loyal to you to the death, and never harboring any disloyalty!"

Yun Jin nodded in satisfaction, knowing who their master was was good enough.

Seeing that things were settled, Dongxue pouted and muttered softly, "Why are all their names so beautiful..."

Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh, glancing at her: "Don't you think you're more unique?"

Dongxue paused for a moment, then grinned: "Miss is right! Their names sound like maids, while my name sounds like I'm destined for great things!"

Yun Jin was amused and exasperated, and waved her hand, telling her to take the person out.
