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

Huang Weixue's cupped-hand salute was learned from Yun Jin, but since he was a scholar, his manners were neither proper nor proper.

One of the bodyguards laughed heartily, "Brother Huang, I heard your companions aren't staying with you. Our room is a bit cramped, so we can have them stay in yours. You don't mind, do you?"

Why is the tea flavor so strong...?

Another person patted him on the shoulder: "I know Brother Huang won't mind. Don't worry, we don't snore when we sleep!"

Huang Weixue stood at the door, looking at the bodyguards who had already entered the room, and felt his temples throbbing. He couldn't say a word for a long time.

Why is it so lively along the way?

Seeing that Huang Weixue remained silent, the two bodyguards exchanged a glance, then got up and walked out, saying, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it."

Huang Weixue then realized that the three of them were traveling with a caravan and could not afford to offend them, so he quickly smiled and said, "No, no, it's very convenient. I'm actually benefiting from staying with you; at least I'm safe."

The two were very pleased with his sensible manner and laughed as they invited him to dinner.

Huang Weixue hurriedly went to greet Yun Jin and the other girl, wanting to invite them to come along, but then thought it would be inconvenient for the two girls to eat with the bodyguard, so he gave up the idea.

It would be much more convenient if it was just the two of them eating. Yun Jin told Chen Mengyao to wait in the room, as she didn't expect this young lady to serve her.

She went to the kitchen alone to borrow a stove, heated up two bowls of wontons, and brought them back. The wontons were taken from her spatial dimension and were exactly the same as when she put them in.

When heating up the wontons, I added extra spring water to my bowl.

She found that by replenishing herself with spiritual spring water every day for the past two weeks, her physical strength had greatly improved, her constitution was much better than before, and her skin had also become much fairer.

Looking at the steaming hot wontons, Chen Mengyao's eyes were full of surprise: "Oh my god, Xiaobai, where did you get these wontons? They smell so good!"

She took it, drank a sip of the soup, smacked her lips in satisfaction, and wolfed it down. After finishing the bowl of hot wontons, she felt most of her fatigue disappear.

After eating, the two washed up and went to bed to rest.

Chen Mengyao suddenly leaned close to Yun Jin and asked mysteriously, "Xiao Bai, can I tell you something?"

"What is it?" Yun Jin asked calmly with her eyes closed.

Chen Mengyao tentatively asked, "How about you follow me from now on?"

Yun Jin opened her eyes and glanced at her: "What do you mean?"

Chen Mengyao's eyes gleamed: "Look how inconvenient it is for a girl like you to follow Scholar Huang around. Why don't you become my personal maid! Don't worry, you don't need to be registered as a slave. I'll give you ten taels of silver every month to ensure your food, clothing, and daily necessities. All you have to do is protect me! Look at me this time, if I hadn't met you, I would have been snatched away by Liu Sanlaizi to be his concubine long ago. With you here, I won't be afraid to go out anymore!"

Yun Jin... She wants to be your friend, but you want to be my master.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you know I'm a woman, you should know that the identity of the page is just a formality. Is it possible that I'm also a respectable woman and don't need those ten taels of silver at all?"

Chen Mengyao was taken aback. Remembering how easily she could produce hundreds of taels of silver and subdue Liu Sanlaizi, she suddenly felt a little less confident, but still stubbornly insisted, "That's different! Follow me, with the Grand Tutor's Mansion as your backer, no one in the capital will dare to bully you!"

"I'm going to the capital to find relatives," Yun Jin said, raising her arms to rest her hands behind her head. "Perhaps my relatives aren't much different from your maternal grandfather?"

Chen Mengyao was somewhat disappointed, but then she thought that if Xiaobai really was a young lady from some family, they could still be friends.

Her eyes lit up immediately: "What kind of relatives are you looking for in the capital? Do you know what they do? If they're in business, my maternal grandmother owns several shops, and we could ask her to help out; if they're officials, my maternal grandfather could give them a hand in court!"

Yun Jin felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at her enthusiastic manner, and shook her head, saying, "I don't know what they do. I was abandoned in Qingping County when I was a child, and I always thought I was this family's child. My adoptive parents were never nice to me when I was young, and I only recently learned about my background. I heard that my parents and maternal grandparents are all in the capital, so I want to go to the capital to try my luck."

She paused, then said dejectedly, "If I can't find them, or if I do find them but they don't recognize me... then I'll just wander the world."

Seeing Yun Jin's thin body, Chen Mengyao knew that her adoptive parents must have treated her badly. She immediately patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, my maternal grandfather's family is very powerful. My eldest uncle is in the Ministry of Justice, and my second uncle is in the Dali Temple. I'll have them help you find her. If they don't acknowledge you, I'll have my maternal grandfather recognize you as his granddaughter, and we'll be sisters."

Yun Jin... She jumped from servant to sister so quickly.

She smiled at Chen Mengyao and said, "Okay, if they don't acknowledge me, I'll be your sister."

Yun Jin had already thought it through. Since she had saved Chen Mengyao, she couldn't just turn around and leave. She wasn't going to be a pushover. If she could use Chen Mengyao's connections, it might just give her an extra advantage.

However, relying solely on this favor will eventually run out, and one will need to offer something that can move Chen Mengyao's maternal grandparents' family.

Thinking of this, she feigned curiosity and asked, "Were your maternal grandparents strict?"

When Chen Mengyao heard Yun Jin ask about her maternal grandparents, she immediately became interested, her eyes sparkling. She counted on her fingers, "My maternal grandfather looks very serious in front of outsiders, but he is most afraid of my maternal grandmother. At home, he almost always obeys my maternal grandmother. Moreover, he loves me very much. He always supports whatever I want to do."

My maternal grandmother was a very formidable person; she was the absolute authority in the family, and both my uncles and aunts were afraid of her. However, she was also very reasonable and treated my two aunts very well, rarely setting rules for them.

She paused, then continued, "My two uncles seem stern, but they're very good to me; and my aunt, when I was at my maternal grandparents' house, everything I wore and used was prepared for me by them. They treated me better than any of my cousins..."

From elders to peers, Chen Mengyao talked non-stop, even detailing the flower patterns her aunts liked and the nicknames of her cousins, her eyes revealing affection and dependence.

After listening to her story, Yun Jin couldn't help but ask in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so close to your maternal grandparents' family."

Chen Mengyao remained silent for a long time before saying in a muffled voice, "My mother passed away when I was three years old, and my father later remarried. My maternal grandparents were afraid that I would be mistreated in the mansion, so they took me in and raised me. I actually grew up in my maternal grandparents' house."

Yun Jin's heart stirred slightly, and she asked again, "Then why did you go back to your father's side? What exactly happened with the marriage they arranged for you?"
