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

Yun Jin sighed wearily and waved her hand, saying, "Fine, I can't argue with you. Since you're here, you should at least give me some guidance, right? Don't forget, I was tricked into coming here by you."

If you're going to wash your hands of it, that's easy too. Next time someone schemes against me, I'll just not fight back and obediently wait to die. When I'm dead, I can settle accounts with you in the underworld, and I can always choose again.

Tuoba Hui was so frightened that he immediately bowed and begged for mercy: "Grandma, please don't give up! If you really quit, who will clean up this mess? Can you really bear to watch your mother and maternal grandfather's family be schemed against by them?"

He hesitated for a moment, as if considering something, before finally saying, "I can only tell you one thing: your fate is intertwined with Yunxiu's."

Yun Jin frowned, her face full of disbelief. She stared at Tuoba Hui for several breaths, making sure he wasn't joking, before asking incredulously, "What are you talking about? How could my fate be connected to hers? She was born to Consort Shu, and her birth time and destiny are different from mine. How could my fate be connected to hers? Explain yourself clearly."

Tuoba Hui shook his head, his tone very firm: "You heard me right. From the moment you were born, your fates were intertwined."

Otherwise, why didn't Liu Zhixue kill you? If you die, Yunxiu won't live long; if Yunxiu dies, you will also be affected. One rises while the other falls.

Since you arrived in the capital, you've risen through the ranks, been granted the title of county princess, and received a marriage decree, while Yunxiu's life has become increasingly difficult. Haven't you noticed the pattern here?

Yun Jin suddenly sneered, "Nonsense! If what you say is true, then wouldn't Yun Xiu have to live forever? If she accidentally dies, wouldn't I also die? Would I have to spend the rest of my life burning incense and praying for her to live a long and healthy life?"

Tuoba Hui shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. The ebb and flow of fate is not an absolute symbiosis. If she fails to rise to a high position, if her backer falls, if she falls into poverty and can never recover, while you shine so brightly that she can no longer shake you in the slightest, then the so-called connection will dissipate on its own. At that time, you will be you, and she will be she, each unrelated. If she chooses to bring about her own destruction, that is her own business."

Yun Jin seemed to be deep in thought, and after a long while, she said, "That doesn't make sense either. If that were true, why would Liu Zhixue target me and want me dead?"

Tuoba Hui gave her a meaningful look: "Is it possible... she's also involved?"

Yun Jin's heart skipped a beat, as if a string that had been hanging in the air had suddenly been plucked. She quickly asked, "Then who set this up? Why did they tie my fate to Yun Xiu's?"

"Princess, if you don't want to go to hell after you die, remember my words: don't kill too many people. Let them suffer the consequences of their own actions; it will be more satisfying than killing them with your own hands."

After he finished speaking, Tuoba Hui's figure began to fade and gradually dissipated into the gray-white mist.

"Tuoba Hui! Come back! You haven't explained yourself yet!" Yun Jin reached out to grab him, but grasped only air.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still lying on the bed in the space.

She stepped out of the room and heard the faint sound of a night watchman's clapper outside the window; it was already past midnight.

She sat up and went over in her mind what Tuoba Hui had said in her dream.

He said that Liu Zhixue was not the one who set up the scheme, so it must be someone behind her who prevented her from killing the original owner. Therefore, she could only throw the original owner far away and let the original owner live a life of poverty and misery.

In her previous life, Yunxiu became empress and her brilliance was so great that the original owner could no longer shake her position. That is why the original owner was tortured to death by Chen Wencai in Qingping County.

In this life, she transmigrated and fought her way from Qingping County back to the capital. She was granted the title of county princess, received a marriage decree, and rose through the ranks step by step. Yunxiu's luck visibly declined day by day.

This so-called intertwined fate, this waxing and waning of fortune, is how it works.

She scratched her head, turned over, and muttered, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to sleep! If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

Meanwhile, far away at Prince Yu's residence, the "tall" Xiao Jingyan suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "Jin'er must miss me. Sigh, I won't be able to marry her until May; every day feels like an eternity."

The next morning, Yun Jin hadn't slept well the night before and was only awakened by the faint sound of voices coming from outside the window when the sun was high in the sky.

She sat up and called out towards the door, "Someone come here."

Hearing the noise, Dongxue pushed open the door and entered, carrying hot water: "Miss, you're finally awake."

Yun Jin smiled apologetically and asked, "How's Yin Hu doing?"

Dongxue replied in a relaxed tone, "I didn't have a fever, I pulled through, and I heard I woke up once this morning."

"That's good." Yun Jin nodded, then asked, "What were you all talking about outside just now? It was so lively!"

Dongxue suppressed a laugh and replied, "It was quite a scene at Xuezhai this morning. The young lady was furious, and even the old lady was alerted."

Yun Jin asked curiously, "What happened?"

Dongxue leaned closer to her and whispered, "That girl named Meixiang, the young lady said she stole jewelry and valuables and ran away overnight."

Yun Jin paused in washing her face, then lowered her voice and asked, "Did your prince make a move?"

Dongxue nodded and whispered, "It was arranged in advance by the Prince. Yesterday, Hongling and the others deliberately made a noise at Xuezhai to lure Meixiang to chase after them. They led her to a secluded spot outside the mansion and captured her."

Yun Jin hurriedly asked, "Where is he now? Is he still alive?"

Dongxue shook her head and smiled, "He's not dead. He's already been handed over to Eagle Claw. Don't worry, Miss, once he's in their hands, there's nothing they won't find out."

Yun Jin took the handkerchief and wiped her face, then asked, "What happened? They stole the jewelry and valuables and ran away?"

Dongxue laughed and said, "It wasn't Hongling and the others who did it. I guess someone in her courtyard saw that she hadn't returned and stole her things. Or maybe the young lady was afraid of taking responsibility, so she deliberately made a commotion."

Yun Jin nodded, then asked again, still worried, "Mei Xiang is the Fifth Prince's person. The Fifth Prince most likely won't believe the 'theft and escape' story. What if he discovers the truth and alerts her?"

Dongxue smiled and said, "No, Miss, don't worry. Hongling and the others are very reliable. Someone saw a 'thief' enter Xuezhai, and Meixiang went to investigate."

Just these past few days, a gang of notorious thieves has come to the capital, specializing in robbing wealthy families. Their methods are clean and efficient, and the authorities are issuing warrants for their arrest everywhere.

Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Dong Xue, asking, "Did your master arrange this?"
