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

Yun Jin helped Huang Weixue to sit down on the edge of the bed, then turned and glared at him: "I won't stop you from trying to save people. But you need to use your brain! Can't you just follow them, remember the location, and then come find me so we can help each other? At least I have some martial arts skills; it's better than you rushing in alone to get yourself killed!"

"I..." Huang Weixue was speechless, his face flushed red, and after a long while he whispered, "You're right. I was too reckless."

Chen Mengyao stood to the side, watching Yun Jin methodically berate Huang Weixue, her eyes filled with admiration: "Young man, you're really amazing! Not only do you know kung fu, but you're also incredibly eloquent..."

Yun Jin then realized she hadn't asked her name yet, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Chen Mengyao," Chen Mengyao replied sweetly, clearly not lying.

"Chen Mengyao?" Yun Jin looked at her clothes; the name clearly didn't match her attire. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "This isn't a name an ordinary family could give you. You must be from a wealthy and prominent family, right?"

Chen Mengyao pouted and said, "My father is the prefect of Guangping Prefecture. My mother arranged a marriage for me, but I didn't like it, so I ran away. I wanted to go to the capital to find my maternal grandparents, but I took the wrong turn on the way and ended up in Yizhou City..."

Prefect of Guangping Prefecture?

Yun Jin's heart skipped a beat. Liu Sanlaizi had kidnapped a young lady from an official family. Even if the prefect of Yizhou wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't dare. This girl was a lifesaver.

Yun Jin tentatively asked, "You went to the capital to find your maternal grandfather, do you know where they live?"

Chen Mengyao nodded: "I know, my maternal grandfather's family is easy to find, he was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty."

Grand Tutor? Yun Jin couldn't help but think to herself, what incredible luck she had! She went out to save someone and it turned out to be the granddaughter of the current Grand Tutor. She was just about to go to the capital anyway, and this connection had come to her!

She looked at the girl, her eyes shining: "We're also heading to the capital. If you don't mind, you can come with us; it'll be good to have someone to look after you on the road. But let me make this clear beforehand: you'll have to follow my instructions!"

Chen Mengyao's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, "That's great! Don't worry, I'll follow your instructions on the way and promise not to cause any trouble!"

Yun Jin pointed to another servants' room next door: "You can stay in that room tonight. You and our young master will each have a room. I'll keep an eye on that Liu tonight!"

She then took out two water pouches from her spatial storage, both filled with spring water from her space, and handed them to the two of them: "Drink some water to refresh yourselves."

The two took the water pouches and gulped down a few mouthfuls. They felt a warm sensation flow from their throats to their stomachs, and their fatigue seemed to dissipate considerably.

After a whole day of commotion and a beating, Huang Weixue's eyelids were already drooping.

Chen Mengyao also got up and went to the next room. She didn't mind that it was a servant's room. She went into the room, closed the door, and fell asleep. Soon, her even breathing could be heard.

Yun Jin stood in the courtyard and heard the soft snoring coming from inside the house before turning around and walking towards the main house.

Liu Sanlaizi was still tied to the bedpost, his mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and his eyes were black and blue from being beaten by Chen Mengyao.

Upon seeing her enter, it struggled desperately and cried out incoherently.

Yun Jin walked up to him, squatted down, and ripped the gag out of his mouth.

"What...what do you want?" Liu Sanlaizi's voice trembled. "I've given you everything, just let me go! I promise I'll never bother you again!"

Looking at his cowardly and timid appearance, Yun Jin sneered, "Let you go? So you can continue to abduct women and harm the people?"

Seeing Yun Jin's icy tone, Liu Sanlaizi quickly swore an oath: "I dare not! I really dare not! Young hero, spare my life! I will definitely reform myself and never dare to kidnap women or harm the people again!"

How could Yun Jin believe him?

If such a person could repent, the sun would rise in the west.

But she really didn't plan to make a move now. Although Liu Sanlaizi was just a local ruffian, his sister was, after all, the prefect's concubine. If she died now, the prefect would have no choice but to launch a large-scale search and arrest operation in Yizhou City to save face.

They still need to go to the capital, so there's no need to cause any unnecessary trouble here.

She sneered, "Reform yourself? I'm not that easy to fool."

As she spoke, she pulled out a packet of powder and tossed it at him, saying, "I'll feel more at ease if you're asleep."

Seeing that Liu Sanlaizi had fallen into a deep sleep again, Yun Jin stuffed the cloth back into his mouth, checked the ropes again to make sure they were tied securely, and then turned around to tidy up the bed.

She tore off the old bedding from the bed and threw it in the corner, then took out a clean set of sheets from the closet, closed the doors and windows, blew out the candles, and lay down on the bed.

I haven't had a single day of rest since arriving in ancient times; I'm just so tired.

Yun Jin pondered how to deal with Liu Sanlaizi, and as she thought about it, she fell into a deep sleep.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, Yun Jin opened her eyes, glanced at Liu Sanlaizi in the corner, and seeing that he was still unconscious, sprinkled some sleeping powder on his nose before turning around and leaving the main house.

After leaving the house, seeing that Chen Mengyao and Huang Weixue were still asleep, she went to the front yard first.

Several of the thugs in the front yard had already woken up and were struggling to break free of their ropes, letting out low growls.

Yun Jin walked over expressionlessly, took out some powder from her bosom, and sprinkled it on them, causing them to fall into a deep sleep again.

The physician, who had been left on the floor of this room last night, was awake now. Upon seeing Yun Jin enter, he immediately kowtowed and tried to speak while making "mmm" sounds.

Yun Jin ripped the gag out of his mouth, glanced at his -15% favorability rating, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The physician pleaded, "Young hero, spare my life! I'm just a physician; I was forced into this by Liu Sanlaizi. I haven't done anything wrong!"

Yun Jin glanced at him: "Didn't do anything wrong? Then let me ask you, did you know that this Liu fellow was doing these bad things?"

The physician was speechless. How could he not know? He could only turn a blind eye in order to make a living.

Yun Jin shook her head: "I can spare your life, but I can't let you go either. Who told you to follow such a master?"

With that, she tossed out a handful of powder, and the physician immediately collapsed to the ground, motionless. It wasn't that she wanted to treat the physician this way; with that 15% favorability rating, she could only be certain that he wasn't a truly heinous criminal, but letting him go was out of the question.

After finishing in the front yard, she turned and walked towards the back yard.

As she passed by the bushes where Madam Liu and her maid were, she saw that the two had already woken up. When they saw her coming, they glared at her angrily, their mouths stuffed with cloth strips, unable to speak.

Yun Jin stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, and pushed them toward Old Mrs. Liu's courtyard.

As I passed by the thugs who had been tied up earlier, I noticed that they had also woken up and were struggling to move their bodies.

Yun Jin was decisive and efficient. She gave them more medicine powder and watched them collapse before continuing to push Madam Liu and the other woman forward.

In Mrs. Liu's room, perhaps due to her advanced age, she was still dizzy from the exertion.

Yun Jin dragged Madam Liu and her maid to the bedside, tied them to the bedposts, sprinkled some powder on their faces, and then went to the concubines' courtyard.

Most of the concubines had already woken up. Yun Jin walked around the courtyards, picked out two concubines who looked lifeless, pulled them aside, removed the gags from their mouths, and asked, "Do you want to leave the Liu residence?"
