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

The next morning, Yun Jin and Chen Mengyao went to pay their respects to Old Madam Zheng. When the old lady saw them, she took Yun Jin's hand, patted it, and said, "It's strange, but my head didn't hurt much last night, and I slept much better. Jin'er, your massage technique really works."

Yun Jin smiled and said, "After breakfast, I will give you acupuncture first. After the medicine is prepared, you can take several doses. With the treatment both internally and externally, we will definitely be able to cure this disease."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Grandma Zheng smiled from ear to ear. She hadn't had high hopes, but she had slept soundly last night, and now she really saw hope.

After breakfast, the maid had already moved the small table used for acupuncture into the inner room and laid out a soft cushion.

Grandma Zheng lay on the soft couch, clutching the brocade quilt nervously: "Will this needle... hurt when it pricks me?"

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm gentle, it won't hurt too much," Yun Jin said softly as she opened the needle box. "Relax, the more tense you are, the more likely you are to feel soreness."

Fortunately, she had learned acupuncture from her master before. Although she was not very skilled at it, she knew the techniques. With the medical knowledge given to her by the King of Hell, it was a piece of cake for her.

Chen Mengyao smiled and comforted the old lady, "Grandma, if you're afraid of the pain, just hold my hand."

Grandma Zheng laughed heartily: "Grandma isn't that afraid. Alright, Jin'er, let's begin."

Yun Jin nodded, took out a silver needle, and twirled it with her fingertips, her movements skillful and fluid.

She first disinfected several key acupoints, such as Baihui and Taiyang, on Old Mrs. Zheng's head, then with a slight flick of her wrist, the silver needles were steadily inserted to the perfect depth.

Before long, Mrs. Zheng felt a warm sensation spreading from her acupoints and traveling along her meridians, which made her head, which had been feeling a bit heavy, feel much lighter.

"How are you, Grandmother? Does it hurt?" Yun Jin asked softly when she saw that her brows and eyes had relaxed.

"It feels so good..." Grandma Zheng said with a smile, "It's like there's a warm current flowing through me, and my head doesn't feel heavy anymore."

After an incense stick had burned, Yun Jin removed the needles and massaged Old Madam Zheng for a while before saying, "That's all for today's acupuncture. Once the medicinal herbs are ready, you can take a few more doses of herbal medicine, and I guarantee you'll never be bothered by headaches again."

"Good." Old Mrs. Zheng sat up, feeling refreshed, and couldn't help but say to Wang, "Look at this girl's skills, they're even better than those imperial physicians!"

Madam Wang smiled and agreed, "That's right, Jin'er is truly capable."

Yun Jin smiled modestly: "Grandmother was lucky; it just so happens that I know how to cure this ailment."

Chen Mengyao couldn't help but say, "Alright, let's go to the south of the city. Jin said she wants to buy two servants, and I've already spoken to Uncle Zhong."

Grandma Zheng smiled and said, "Go ahead, bring a few more people, pick two honest and reliable ones. Don't worry if you don't find one right away."

"Granddaughter has remembered," Yun Jin nodded in agreement.

After changing their clothes, Yun Jin and Chen Mengyao, along with Tingzhu and Tingxue, boarded the carriage accompanied by Zheng Zhong.

The carriage traveled to the south of the city and stopped at the entrance of the market street. Yun Jin and Chen Mengyao got out of the carriage, and Zheng Zhong led them, followed by two guards, into the market.

They hadn't gone far when they saw a matchmaker dragging a thin, frail girl along, cursing, "You little brat! You don't want to go with this man? You'll eat and drink well with him, isn't that much better than following your gambling-addicted father?"

The girl, her neck stiff and her face bruised, struggled desperately backward, shouting, "I won't go! That gambler isn't my father; he has no right to sell me!"

A burly man with a fierce face grabbed the girl by the hair and dragged her out, yelling, "Damn it, I don't care if he's your father or not, I paid for you, so you have to come with me!"

Unable to break free, the girl turned around and bit the man's hand tightly. Enraged, the man raised his hand and slapped the girl's face, causing it to swell up immediately.

"Stop!" Yun Jin shouted sharply.

The man turned his head, glanced at Yun Jin, and sneered, "Where did this little wench come from, daring to interfere in my business?"

Zheng Zhong stepped forward and sternly shouted, "Stop being so rude!"

The man saw that Zheng Zhong was dressed in brocade robes, and although he was a steward, he was definitely not from an ordinary family. He also noticed the two bodyguards in tight-fitting clothes behind him.

Although he was a lecher, he knew he wasn't someone to mess with, so he swallowed the profanity that was about to escape his lips: "Uncle, this is the wife I bought, it's none of your business."

"You're talking nonsense!" The girl covered her swollen face, her voice trembling but unwavering. "You haven't paid yet! Granny Yang let you see the person first, the money hasn't even passed through your hands, how am I your person?"

The man's face darkened, and he pointed at the girl, cursing, "I already made a deal with Granny Yang!"

Yun Jin ignored the man and walked up to the girl. Seeing blood trickling from the corner of her mouth and bruises on her arms, she turned to the matchmaker and asked, "This girl, you sold her to him?"

Granny Yang's eyes darted around, and a smile spread across her face: "Miss, this gentleman did indeed take a liking to her first, but..."

"But what? The money hasn't been paid, and the contract hasn't been signed, so the deal isn't done yet," Yun Jin said calmly. "I'm asking you, how much do you want for this girl?"

The man grew impatient: "No way! I chose the one first!"

Zheng Zhong waved his hand, and the guards behind him stepped forward, gripping their sword hilts: "Step back!"

The man was so frightened that he took two steps back, his face turning pale and then red. He pointed at Granny Yang and cursed, "Granny Yang, you'd better know your place!"

Granny Yang's eyes flickered as she leaned closer to Yun Jin: "Miss, you have excellent taste. This girl is pretty and quick-witted, but she's a bit too headstrong. If you really want her, forty taels will do."

"Forty taels?" the girl exclaimed anxiously. "Granny Yang, you only negotiated ten taels with him just now!"

Granny Yang glared at the girl, then turned and forced a smile, "Miss, don't listen to her, this girl is ignorant..."

Yun Jin glanced at the girl, then at the "happy Ni: Favorability 65%" floating above her head, and said unhurriedly, "Fifteen taels, sign the contract if you sell."

Granny Yang's smile froze for a moment, and she still wanted to argue, "Miss, this is a virgin, fifteen taels is too much..."

"Fifteen taels it is," Yun Jin interrupted her. "If you won't sell, I'll find someone else. In this Manchu market, are you worried about not being able to buy anyone?"

Seeing Yun Jin turn to leave, Granny Yang quickly grabbed her, saying, "Sell it! Fifteen taels it is! Miss, please wait a moment, I'll get the contract right away!"

The man, seeing his business truly snatched away, stomped his feet in anger. He wanted to curse but dared not, finally spitting at Granny Yang before turning and leaving: "You old hag, you only care about money, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

Grandma Yang didn't care what he was cursing about. She quickly took out the contract, and both parties signed it.

Yun Jin handed over fifteen taels of silver, which Granny Yang took with a beaming smile. She counted the money and tucked it into her bosom, saying, "If Miss needs any more servants, I have plenty more."
