Yin Chujin was stunned for a long time. It was only when the chill hit her that she patted her face and jumped down from the roof. She left Benevolence Hall and walked towards the Xiao Manor. Along the way, she was deep in thought about Sheng Yiming’s last words. Indeed, the black-clothed men would soon find out that she had used the palace map as a decoy for the Armament Breaking Blueprint. When the time came, he would definitely come back to look for her. She should indeed pay more attention. The most important thing was that she still had to verify if the Armament Breaking Blueprint was with her. If it was, where would the princess put it?

When Yin Chujin returned to Wuyuan, Leng’er was still asleep. Zhu’er had already fed her medicine and was dozing off at the table. When she saw Yin Chujin return, she heaved a sigh of relief and asked about Benevolence Hall. Yin Chujin only smiled and said that she was fine before sending her to sleep.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Yin Chujin looked through the bronze mirror and realized that she was wearing a golden butterfly hairpin. Yin Chujin was puzzled. She reached out and took off the butterfly hairpin. She held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. There was a golden butterfly on the hairpin that was very lifelike and beautiful. However, this hairpin was unfamiliar to her. She had no impression that she had ever worn this hairpin, let alone wear it out tonight. To be precise, she rarely wore any jewelry unless she entered the palace. The only explanation was that Sheng Yiming had put it on her!

That hooligan! Yin Chujin thought of what he had done to her tonight and was furious. She really wanted to throw the hairpin into the waste basket, but after thinking about it, she gave up. If she threw the hairpin away, the hooligan would still think that she accepted it. It was better to find a time to throw it back to him in front of him.

As she spoke, she threw the hairpin into the drawer. She wanted to change and rest, but she realized that an envelope had been stuffed into her pocket. Yin Chujin was furious. She did not notice how many small actions Sheng Yiming had done when he hugged her.

She opened the envelope and found that it was the deed to the Myriad Medicines Workshop, Benevolence Hall, and a note.

“Keep the title deeds. You can run the largest medicine halls in the entire capital. Smart woman, don’t disappoint me!”

Yin Chujin crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the paper basket. She cursed Sheng Yiming a thousand times in her heart. He actually did this to her. Who would want to be the owner of the largest medicine shops in the capital? Moreover, the Myriad Medicine Workshop was involved with Du Caijun, and it was obvious that Du Caijun was not a good person.

After tidying herself up, Yin Chujin fell onto the bed and rubbed her forehead. She didn’t know how she had provoked Sheng Yiming. He always wanted to make things difficult for her…

The next day…

Leng’er’s cold had subsided and she was finally awake. This also made Yin Chujin and Zhu’er heave a sigh of relief. However, no matter how Yin Chujin asked about the parasitic poison, Leng’er refused to say a word. She wanted to understand the situation clearly so that she could cure the parasitic poison in her body. However, seeing that she would not say anything, Yin Chujin could only give up in the end.

Yin Chujin knew that Leng’er had many secrets. She used her memory loss as an excuse to hide everything. She respected her and did not interrogate her, but she really didn’t want anything to happen to Leng’er…

Sighing slightly, she heard a knock on the door from the courtyard. Yin Chujin asked Zhu’er to open the door and was told that the emperor had summoned her and Xiao Yelei to the palace.

When Yin Chujin heard this, she blinked her big eyes and was overjoyed. Last night, she was still thinking about how to return the hairpin and the title deed to Sheng Yiming. Now, the opportunity had come knocking on her door.

She had Zhu’er dress her up and put the hairpin and the title deed into her sleeve. Then, she told Leng’er to take good care of herself before leading Zhu’er out of Wuyuan. She had wanted to leave Zhu’er behind to take care of Leng’er, but she felt that it was inappropriate to enter the palace alone. Although she was much more familiar with the palace, she still needed Zhu’er’s help in all aspects.

As soon as she left the Xiao Manor, Yin Chujin saw Xiao Yelei standing beside the horse with Ye Xin in his arms. She turned her head slightly and noticed Liu Cuiyan standing a few steps away. She was twisting her handkerchief and staring outside the manor with jealousy and hatred in her eyes. It seemed that a certain someone had completely fallen out of favor and was feeling indignant!

Seeing her appear, Ye Xin naturally looked at her with hatred. Xiao Yelei, on the other hand, looked cold and emotionless. However, Yin Chujin ignored their gazes and got into the carriage with Zhu’er’s help.

After waiting for a while, the carriage still did not move. Xiao Yelei and Ye Xin’s intimate voices kept coming from outside. Xiao Yelei’s voice was low and indistinct, but Ye Xin’s voice was very loud. It was obvious that she wanted her to hear it. Unfortunately, she had miscalculated. Yin Chujin was not interested in Xiao Yelei now, let alone jealous of their performance.

An hour had passed, but the two of them still had no intention of stopping. Yin Chujin really admired them. As expected, they were both martial arts practitioners. They stood there and talked for so long without feeling their legs ache.

Yin Chujin lifted the carriage curtain and said, “Prince Xiao, I don’t mind if you bring her into the palace with you. Perhaps if you don’t have any plans to enter the palace for the time being, I can return to Wuyuan first. Get someone to inform me when you want to set off.”

She wanted to roll her eyes.

However, Ye Xin thought that she was finally jealous and looked at her smugly.

Yin Chujin smiled at her. “Ye Xin, when a woman’s voice is louder than a man’s, it doesn’t sound good. If you want to show off your love, I don’t mind you riding with the Prince into the palace to let the people in the capital know how much the Prince dotes on you.”

Xiao Yelei raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He could only see ridicule on her face. There was no jealousy at all. It seemed that Yin Chujin, who had been pestering him to marry her, no longer existed.

Ye Xin could hear the sarcasm in her words. Seeing the smile on Yin Chujin’s lips made her want to tear her mouth apart to avenge her disfigurement. With this thought in mind, she subconsciously reached for her waist.

Seeing through her intentions, Yin Chujin threatened, “If you whip me again, I can’t guarantee that you won’t be poisoned like last time! This time, I’ll write my name upside down if I give you the antidote!”

“Xin’er, be good and return to the residence first!” Xiao Yelei comforted Ye Xin in a low voice.

“I don’t want to!” Ye Xin stomped her feet.

“Go back to the manor first. I’ll be back soon…” Xiao Yelei was a little helpless. He comforted her and asked the old maid to bring her into the manor.

Finally, Ye Xin was willing to go back. Before entering the residence, she turned around and glared at Yin Chujin.

Yin Chujin shrugged nonchalantly. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Yelei staring at her. Before he got on his horse, he coldly said something to her…

“Yin Chujin, think about yourself. Don’t provoke Xin’er!”

Yin Chujin smiled coldly and said, “Xiao Yelei, if I remember correctly, it’ll be a month in a few days. I hope I can still hear you say this when the poison acts up!”

With that, she flung the curtain aside and sat back in the carriage.

She had already planned to let him have a taste of the poison. Let’s see if he still dared to order her around in such a presumptuous tone in the future.

“You…” Xiao Yelei turned around and glared at her, but she was blocked by the curtain and had already disappeared.
