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

Yun Jin replied matter-of-factly, "No, not at all. To be honest, my feelings for the Prince are different from those for my elder sister and the Fifth Prince. I thought the Fifth Prince's feelings for my elder sister would be different."

Yunxiu was embarrassed and angry when her secret was exposed.

The Fifth Prince did not make an appointment with her today. Even Yun Jin met Prince Yu, but she did not even get to see the Fifth Prince.

She snorted coldly and turned her face away: "If two people are truly in love, what does it matter if they are together day and night? We don't care about a day or two. His Highness is currently prioritizing state affairs, so I naturally have to be considerate of him."

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, simply said "Oh," and then fell silent.

This attitude made Yunxiu feel like she had punched cotton, leaving her feeling unsure of how to react.

The old lady, however, was intrigued by the lantern festival and turned to Chu Wanqing, asking, "Today is Mother's first Lantern Festival since returning to the capital. Have you booked a restaurant for tonight's lantern festival?"

Chu Wanqing said apologetically, "Mother, I'm so sorry. I was really negligent today and completely forgot about this. I'm afraid it will be too late to order now."

She wasn't so busy as to forget; she simply didn't want to spend the Lantern Festival with this family and was making up an excuse.

She paused, then said, "Besides, Master is probably out drinking with his colleagues right now. We can't just leave him and go by ourselves. Why don't we have our meal at the mansion? It'll be quieter there."

Seeing that the topic was about to be steered off course, Yunxiu quickly put on a well-behaved act and said, "It's better to stay at home; it's quieter. We're all getting married this year, so it won't be as convenient for us to come back afterward. It's better to stay at home and spend more time with Grandmother, instead of going out with them to join in the fun. Grandmother, don't you think?"

As she spoke, she affectionately took the old lady's arm, "If Grandmother wants to see the lanterns, I'll have someone buy a few beautiful lanterns and hang them in your yard. That will make it just as lively."

Helpless, the old lady could only manage a forced smile, gently patting Yunxiu's hand and saying, "Xiu'er is so thoughtful."

Seeing that the old lady's expression had improved, Yunxiu changed the subject back to:

"By the way, sister, your shop opened today. I saw quite a few carriages parked outside; business must be booming. But I heard that even the servants in your courtyard are using those flower soaps and goat milk soaps, while we haven't seen a single one at home. We can let it go, but you can't forget about Grandmother's share, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun recalled what Yunxiu had mentioned to her, and said sourly, "Jin'er is a noblewoman now, so arrogant, how could she possibly remember an old woman like me who's half-buried in the ground?"

Yun Jin wasn't annoyed at all, and said with a smile, "Grandma, what are you saying? It's just a few bars of face soap and a few bottles of face cream, what's the big deal? I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to bring it to you sooner, it's all my fault. I brought it to you when I came back today, and I was just thinking of asking you to try it."

As she spoke, she had Dongxue bring the items forward, and personally placed the goat milk soap and skincare products beside Old Madam Yun, adding:

"This goat milk soap is made with goat milk and honey, and it's good for washing your face and body. This set of skincare products, the shop's stock for today, sold out in just one morning. Jin'er specially reserved a set for the old lady. If the old lady likes it, we'll send you a new one when you run out."

Grandma Yun originally thought Yun Jin would make excuses to refuse, but she didn't expect that Yun Jin was already prepared.

She looked down at the contents of the brocade box, her displeasure largely dissipating, and asked curiously, "What's in here?"

Yun Jin then pointed out each item to her and explained them one by one. She also asked Granny Wang to bring hot water and used goat milk soap to clean the old lady's face on the spot.

After washing her face, the old lady touched it and smiled, "This goat milk soap smells so good, with a faint milky fragrance. My face doesn't feel tight after washing."

Yun Jin then applied skin lotion and face cream for her.

The old lady looked at herself in the bronze mirror from left to right, smiling broadly, and exclaimed repeatedly, "What a wonderful thing, truly a wonderful thing. You clever girl!"

Yunxiu, watching from the side, was itching to try it herself and reached out to take the bottle of skincare lotion: "I want to try it too."

Yun Jin gently deflected her, smiling, "Elder sister, this set isn't suitable for you. You're young and your skin is delicate; the old lady's set is specially designed to remove wrinkles and firm the skin."

Yunxiu's hand froze in mid-air, and she awkwardly withdrew it, feeling annoyed but unable to find fault with it.

When Grandma Yun heard that this product could even remove wrinkles, she was even more pleased and held Yun Jin's hand, praising her for being filial.

She then said earnestly, "Jin'er, you're young, and there are some things your grandmother needs to teach you. How can you let servants use such precious things? You're a county princess now, and the future Princess Consort of Yu. Don't just think about doing business all day. Be careful not to be looked down upon."

Yun Jin was too lazy to refute, and simply replied obediently, "What the old lady says is true, Jin'er will remember it."

The old lady paused, then suddenly realized that Yun Jin almost never called her "Grandma," so she said earnestly, "Jin'er, we are family after all. From now on, just call me Grandma. Calling me 'Old Lady' all the time makes it seem too formal."

Yun Jin readily complied, smiling as she called out, "Grandmother."

Grandmothers won't be able to call for long anyway, so let them call.

Seeing that she was in a good mood today, and glancing at Yunxiu who was pouting unhappily beside her, the old lady smiled and said:

"Jin'er, did you leave a portion of the things from your shop for your eldest sister? Although you are not blood sisters, you are now a daughter of the Yun family, and you will both be royal wives in the future. You should help each other out."

Yun Jin gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Grandmother, I originally saved a portion for my eldest sister. But today, when my eldest sister came to the shop, she said that I was doing a low-class business. So I thought that my eldest sister would look down on such low-class things, and gave the portion I saved for her to Sister Mengyao."

Yunxiu's face stiffened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I don't need it."

Chu Wanqing casually chimed in, "Your eldest sister has Consort Shu looking after her, so what good stuff doesn't she have? You shouldn't bother putting your cheap trinkets in front of her."

These words came from Chu Wanqing, so Yunxiu could only smile and feign shyness, saying, "Mother, please don't tease your daughter."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Alright, let's set the table. He Ting isn't here, so we won't wait for him."

Soon the servants brought out the food, and also cooked a plate of the cloud-like flowers that Lan Qi had given them, as a way to celebrate the festival.

Chu Wanqing also called Yun Lang over. With Yun Jin there, she wasn't worried about them tampering with the food.

Because Yun Jin had given the old lady a lot of face today, the old lady was in a good mood and enjoyed the meal.

As dinner was drawing to a close, the gatekeeper suddenly came to report that someone from Prince Yu's residence had arrived.

Yun Jin was slightly surprised and exchanged a glance with Chu Wanqing.

Chu Wanqing asked the gatekeeper, "Did they say anything?"

The gatekeeper hurriedly said, "They say that Princess Yi has urgent business with the Second Miss."
