Yin Chujin shrugged. “I don’t know her either. I picked her up on the road. When she wakes up, tell her to go back where she belongs.”

Picked her up on the road? The old man and the little boy were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. She casually met someone on the road and saved her with all her heart, but after saving her, she left her to fend for herself?

Halfway through, Yin Chujin stopped and looked at the rows of medicine cabinets with bright eyes. She took out another silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to the little boy. She patted his head and said, “Pack some of each medicine for me.”

The little boy took the silver and turned to look at the old man. After seeing him nod, he ran to the medicine cabinet and pulled out some medicine from each small medicine cabinet to wrap it up.

In the end, Yin Chujin carried a huge bag and strode towards the Xiao Manor. The sky was getting brighter and brighter. If she didn’t go back soon, there would be more and more people on the streets, and her identity would be exposed.

What she didn’t know was that on the second floor of the Phoenix Feather Restaurant by the window, a man in white thoughtfully watched her until she turned into the alley behind the Xiao Manor.

“Senior Brother, what are you looking at? Why are you smiling so strangely?” Yin Wenhan saw that he had been looking out of the window and felt that something was amiss. He also wanted to poke his head out, but he was pulled back by Sheng Yiming.

“It’s just a wild kitten. Come, continue drinking. We’ll return soon.”

When Yin Chujin returned to Wuyuan, she realized that she hadn’t caused any commotion when she left the residence. So, she changed back into her clothes and hid the bag full of medicinal herbs under the bed. She was so tired that she fell onto the bed, unwilling to get up.

Zhu’er woke her up quite late the next morning, but she still looked exhausted.

“Princess, did you not sleep well last night?”

She hadn’t slept at all last night. Yin Chujin yawned and nodded. She was already used to seeing Zhu’er complaining as she set the table. She waved at Zhu’er and fell back onto the bed. “Zhu’er, eat first. I’m not hungry.”

“Princess, do you finally think that our food tastes bad?” Zhu’er seemed to have misunderstood. She pouted and looked at Yin Chujin.

“Zhu’er, in a few days, I’ll bring some silver back from the palace. We’ll talk about it after we gain the right to leave the residence freely. Since His Highness doesn’t provide us with food, we’ll buy it ourselves.”

“Will His Highness be willing to let us leave the residence?”

Yin Chujin shrugged. Would Xiao Yelei still be able to restrict her movements after she concocted the medicine?

In the afternoon, Steward Wang knocked on the door of the small courtyard and conveyed Prince Xiao’s instructions…

“Princess Consort, His Highness wants you to go to the hall.”

When Zhu’er heard this, she tugged at Yin Chujin’s sleeve nervously and whispered into her ear, “Princess, is His Highness going to use any methods to deal with you again?”

Yin Chujin looked at Zhu’er reassuringly before leading her to the main hall behind Steward Wang. From afar, she could see Xiao Yelei leaning lazily on a soft chair while Liu Cuiyan massaged his shoulders. If not for the suspicious red spots on his face, he would have looked like a celestial being.

Yin Chujin secretly laughed in her heart, but her expression remained indifferent. The moment she entered the hall, Liu Cuiyan raised her head and glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. She snuggled even closer into Xiao Yelei’s arms, wanting to arouse her jealousy.

Xiao Yelei took the opportunity to pull Liu Cuiyan into his arms and looked coldly at Yin Chujin, who was standing in front of him. He seemed to understand this woman less and less. Based on her personality in the past, she could not be so calm when she saw another woman standing beside him. Based on his observation, this was not calmness after suppressing it, but she did not care at all. If she did not care, she would not have done such a cruel thing to Ye Xin a year ago!

Thinking of Ye Xin, he lost control and slammed the table beside him, giving Liu Cuiyan a fright.

“Prince… Xiao…”

Xiao Yelei glanced at her and turned his gaze back to Yin Chujin. “Yin Chujin, everyone who went to Wuyuan yesterday morning felt itchy all over. The physician said that it wasn’t caused by the dust or the catkins of the sycamore tree. It was caused by a drug. You were also complaining about the itch. You didn’t call the physician, but you’re standing in front of me intact!”

Yin Chujin laughed in her heart. It turned out that he was afraid of the itch, so he didn’t dare to step into Wuyuan again. Instead, he summoned her over.

“Prince Xiao, if you want to accuse me, you should show me the evidence first, right? Don’t you know that everyone’s physique is different, and the sensitivity of their skin is even different? Do you want to go to Wuyuan again to see if you still feel itchy…”

“Ah… Princess…”

A teacup flew through the air and hit Yin Chujin’s face. The hot tea splashed all over her body, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Zhu’er cried out in surprise and knelt on the ground in fear.

Yin Chujin held her right cheek that was hurting from the teacup. It wasn’t that she couldn’t avoid it, but she was afraid that if she did, things would get out of hand. She looked down at her wet clothes and looked at Xiao Yelei with disdain. He didn’t understand the principle of a gentleman using his mouth but not his fists. She couldn’t communicate with him at all.

“Let’s go, Zhu’er!”

“Stop, who allowed you to leave?” Xiao Yelei said lazily. The next moment, the guards stepped forward and blocked their way.

“Xiao Yelei, what do you want? The blueprint you want is no longer in my hands. Can’t we just mind our own business? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous if this continues?”

“Ridiculous? If I let you live comfortably, who should I take revenge on for the Xiao family and Xin’er?” Xiao Yelei sneered at her. He pushed Liu Cuiyan away and stood up, approaching Yin Chujin step by step.

The Xiao family and Ye Xin’s grudge again? Yin Chujin felt a headache coming on. What blood feud did they have with her?

Just as Yin Chujin was forced into a corner, Steward Wang interrupted Xiao Yelei’s report…

“Prince Xiao, Eunuch He has received an order from the emperor to invite Prince Xiao and… the Princess Consort into the palace.”

Yin Chujin heaved a sigh of relief. She had made the right decision to save the emperor last time. He was able to remember the existence of his daughter.
