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

Upon hearing this, the two concubines suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The concubine in the blue dress asked in a trembling voice, "You...you're telling the truth? We can really leave?"

The other, thin concubine in pink also clutched the hem of her dress, her lips trembling, "Third Master Liu... he won't let us go..."

Having stayed in this courtyard for so long, they had long since lost all their confidence.

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, offering no explanation, but simply asked, "What are your names?"

The concubine in the blue dress said, "My name is Qiu Niang, and her name is San Ni'er."

Yun Jin saw the messages above their heads: "Du Qiuniang: Favorability 35%, Li Sannier: Favorability 40%", and knew they weren't lying. So she nodded: "Come with me."

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Although this person had drugged them last night, he hadn't done anything outrageous, so they decided to follow him to see what he was up to.

As soon as he passed through the moon gate, Chen Mengyao rushed up to him, her face showing some anxiety: "Young Master, where have you been?"

Yun Jin, whose face was still covered, raised her chin and gestured behind her.

When Chen Mengyao saw that she was followed by two concubines, she didn't know what she was planning to do, but she immediately fell silent and followed.

Yun Jin led them into the main house, showing them Liu Sanlaizi on the ground: "See that?"

When the two concubines saw Liu Sanlaizi lying on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, his mouth stuffed with a strip of cloth, and unconscious, they exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

After a long pause, Qiu Niang tentatively asked, "Would you... would you kill him?" Seemingly afraid that Yun Jin would misunderstand, she quickly added, "If he lives, and we leave, I'm afraid he might harm our family."

San Nier also looked at Yun Jin: "What do you plan to do with him? And what about the people in this courtyard...?"

Yun Jin said, "You can decide how to handle this matter yourselves."

"Can we deal with those thugs in the front yard?" Qiu Niang asked, mustering her courage.

"Okay, but don't kill him yet," Yun Jin said. "We have some business to attend to these next couple of days and will be staying at the Liu residence for a couple of days. If we kill him now, we'll have to stay with the corpse."

After saying that, she looked at the two men and said, "I'll need you to keep an eye on the women in the backyard for the next couple of days. If they wake up, let me know. If there are any trustworthy women, you can also tell them what I'm asking, and have them help out for a couple of days. When we leave, we'll give each of them a settlement allowance. You can go wherever you want."

The two men thanked him profusely and agreed, then turned to find tools and strode confidently toward the front yard.

Chen Mengyao, who was listening nearby, had her eyes shining. Seeing the two of them head towards the front yard, she whispered to Yun Jin, "I'll go keep an eye on them."

Yun Jin didn't stop her, nodded, and turned to look at Huang Weixue.

Despite the commotion in the courtyard all morning, he remained silent, and Yun Jin worried that he might have developed a fever due to his injuries.

She pushed open the door and went inside. Sure enough, Huang Weixue's face was flushed and his breathing was rapid. She went over and touched his forehead; he really did have a fever.

She took out the medicinal powder from her spatial storage, prepared a dose of fever reducer, mixed it with spiritual spring water, and fed it to Huang Weixue.

She learned about the medicinal powder from an old Chinese medicine doctor in the 21st century.

The old Chinese medicine doctor would grind the medicine into powder, divide it into individual packets, and mix it directly with water before taking it; the effect was excellent.

After administering the medicine, she fed Huang Weixue half a bowl of spiritual spring water, covered him with a blanket, and then turned to the kitchen to make breakfast.

The Liu family's kitchen had rice and meat, so she didn't cook anything complicated. She made a thick porridge and baked a few pancakes to leave enough for a few people. She put the rest into her spatial storage to eat on the road.

Just as Yun Jin ladled the porridge into a bowl, Chen Mengyao rushed into the kitchen like a whirlwind: "Oh my god, this is so delicious!"

Yun Jin was ladling porridge into a bowl when she heard this. She looked up at Chen Mengyao, who was panting, and smiled slightly. "What's the rush? You're all red and out of breath from running."

Chen Mengyao leaned against the stove with one hand, wiping the sweat from her brow with the other, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "Qiu Niang and San Ni'er! I think I can see it now, those two girls really hate those thugs, they probably suffered a lot at their hands before! Especially Qiu Niang, she grabbed a stick and broke all those thugs' legs, even waking up the unconscious ones, that ferocity of hers made me feel so good!"

Yun Jin paused in scooping porridge, a knowing glint in her eyes. Long-accumulated resentment naturally explodes with devastating force.

She said calmly, "They need to find a place to vent their bitterness."

"By the way," Chen Mengyao asked in a low voice, "have you decided how to deal with Liu Sanlaizi?"

Yun Jin put down her bowl of porridge, wiped her hands with a cloth, and although she had already made up her mind, she still shook her head: "I haven't decided yet."

"I have an idea!" Chen Mengyao's eyes lit up. "I overheard Qiu Niang and the others cursing about Liu Sanlaizi's evil deeds. Why don't we write them all down and force him to turn himself in? With everything in black and white, let's see how the prefect can protect him then!"

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "What if the prefect suppresses the case due to personal favoritism? Liu Sanlaizi will only become more ruthless and will hold a grudge against Qiu Niang and the others, implicating their families as well."

Chen Mengyao was speechless for a moment, scratching her head: "This... I hadn't thought that far ahead. So what do you suggest we do?"

As they were talking, Qiu Niang and San Ni'er lifted the curtain and came in. Both of them had tear stains on their faces, red eyes, and strands of hair at their temples stuck to their cheeks with sweat.

Qiu Niang clenched her fists and said, "Young master is right. If that bastard surnamed Liu turns himself in, the prefect is his sister's husband, so how could he really punish him? We people will only be resented by him and suffer sooner or later."

She took a deep breath, her voice resolute, "He must die!"

Sanni nodded vigorously, her voice choked with emotion: "If he hadn't forcibly taken me, my mother wouldn't have died of illness from worry. This revenge must be taken."

Seeing their grief and indignation, Yun Jin slowly spoke, "That's true. These people have done too many evil deeds; they have to pay the price. I have a method; listen to it..."

She explained her plan, and the three of them immediately praised it as brilliant. Qiu Niang even slapped her thigh excitedly, saying, "Great! That's the plan! That bastard will be infamous for eternity, even in death! Leave this to us!"

Sanni'er chimed in, "Yes, we'll do it!"

"Can you write?" Yun Jin suddenly asked.

The excitement on their faces froze instantly. Qiu Niang smiled bitterly, "My family is poor, I've never been to school, and I can't even write my own name properly."

"I can write!" Chen Mengyao immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

Yun Jin nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

She glanced at the porridge warming on the stove and said to the two of them, "Breakfast is simple; we can add more if it's not enough. As for the women in the backyard, those you trust can share some food; the rest... don't worry about them."

Qiu Niang understood and pulled San Ni'er to get a bowl to serve rice.

Chen Mengyao also stayed to help. She always felt that there was a difference between men and women, and that she would feel more comfortable keeping some distance from Yun Jin.

Yun Jin held her bowl of porridge and slowly ate it with the freshly baked sesame seed cakes.

She secretly added some spiritual spring water to the porridge, because her body was weak and needed proper conditioning.
