Granny Yu looked at the jade pendant, then at the old lady of the Marquis of Pingxi.

The old lady of the Marquis of Pingxi said to Granny Yu, "There are two things. One is to let our lady stay in the temple on the mountain until Yuan-ge's wife and Yuan-yuan leave, and then let them come back. The other is about going back to our hometown to write the family genealogy. I never trust the people the Marquis sends. Let them send a capable person."

Yu Mama watched as the old lady of Pingxi Marquis calmly gave her instructions, her face showing excitement.

After the old lady of Pingxi Marquis finished speaking, she saw Yu Mama's expression and sighed slightly, saying, "Now that things have come to this, I still have to think about my poor Yuan-ge'er and Yuan-jie'er. These are the children left to me by my poor daughter-in-law. The children have been forced to leave this family and are never allowed to live a good life. Linglong, all these years, I was wrong."

Granny Yu wiped away the tears that had reached her cheeks and said, "Madam, you are not wrong."

The old lady of the Marquis of Pingxi shook her head and said, "Go ahead."

After bowing, Granny Yu walked out with the jade pendant in her hand. The old lady of Pingxi Marquis watched Granny Yu's back as she walked out of the courtyard gate through the window, breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out another item from the box.

This is a half-piece Ruyi knot with a small hole on one side through which a red thread is threaded. The old lady of Pingxi Marquis held the half-piece of Ruyi knot in her hand, examined it for a long time, and said, "Xuanji, come here."

When Granny Gui came in from outside, she was also surprised to see what the old lady of Pingxi was holding.

The old lady of the Marquis of Pingxi said, "Take this and go to the manor to tell those people that from now on, Zheng Boyuan will be their master. Tell them to split into two groups: one group should ride quickly to Yuezhou to find Yuan-ge'er and settle him in, and the other group should go to Yuezhou with Yuan-ge'er's wife tomorrow."

Granny Gui said, "Madam, this is the most treasured item in our household."

The old lady of the Marquis of Pingxi smiled calmly and said, "In the future, this family will still have to rely on Yuan-ge to bring glory to the family. Good steel should be used where it is needed most. Yuan-ge is fighting outside for the sake of this family. What good will it do to keep them in the capital if we don't let them fight with us?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Gui said nothing more, took the things, put them in her sleeve pocket, and left the old lady's courtyard.

After watching her two personal maids leave, the old lady of Pingxi Marquis finally relaxed, leaned against the large pillow, and let out a soft breath.

At the Great Buddha Temple, Ms. Chen felt increasingly restless and irritable. She now regretted bringing her two children from home to the Great Buddha Temple, and staying for three days.

She had thought this would be a show of force, but even though she, the mistress of the house, was gone, there was still an old lady and a marquis in the house.

The more Ms. Chen thought about it, the more she realized she had done wrong, and she wanted to pack her things and go home.

Just then, Granny Du came in, and Madam Chen asked, "What is the young lady doing?"

Granny Du said, "The young lady was invited over by Concubine Li early this morning."

Madam Chen frowned and said, "Go and arrange for someone to call the young lady back. Tell her that a letter has arrived from home, and there is an urgent matter that requires her to set off for the mansion immediately."

Granny Du asked in surprise, "Madam, are we going back to the manor now?"

Ms. Chen said, "Yes, I thought about it all night, but I still feel uneasy. I'd better go home first."

Granny Du said, "The abbot said that we can go listen to Master Bu Liao's sermon this afternoon."

Little Chen said, "I have a bad feeling. If you give the monk another twenty taels of silver, let's go."

Du Mama agreed and hurriedly went out to make arrangements. Madam Chen stood by the window, wringing a handkerchief in her hand, looking at the several beautifully blooming trees outside. She thought about the various arrangements she had made in the manor before coming here. She felt that she had made good arrangements, but she had not received any letters from the manor. This was Madam Chen's biggest worry. They had clearly agreed that they would send her three letters every day no matter what, but they had not sent even one. This made Madam Chen think a lot.

As Madam Chen was thinking, she saw Granny Du rushing towards her room. Startled, Madam Chen quickly went to meet her at the door.

When Granny Du came in, she looked at Madam Chen with a panicked expression and said, "Madam, something terrible has happened! Our young lady has fallen down the mountain path."

Ms. Chen hadn't slept well all night. Upon hearing the news, she was so flustered that she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Granny Du quickly stepped forward and helped Little Chen up.

Despite the pain in her back and legs from the fall, Ms. Chen forced herself to ask, "What did you just say? The young lady fell down the mountain path? Where is she now?"

Granny Du said, "The young lady is being carried back now."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen limped out, and Granny Du quickly helped her. Before they even reached the entrance of the temple's side room, they saw several people carrying a simple stretcher. Zheng Yunyun's maid followed beside them, wiping away tears as she walked, repeatedly calling out "Miss."

Madam Chen felt dizzy and, after finally regaining her balance with the help of Granny Du, asked, "Did they go to fetch a doctor?"

Granny Du said, "I've already sent someone to invite them."

Zheng Yunyun had already been carried into the courtyard. When Xiao Chen saw her daughter lying on the stretcher with disheveled hair and a pale face, her heart felt like it was breaking. She quickly called for people to carry her into the room.

After Zheng Yunyun was lifted and placed on the bed, Madam Chen asked the maid who was with Zheng Yunyun, "What happened to your young lady?"

Zheng Yunyun's personal maid cried and said, "Madam, just now the young lady was walking in front with Madam Li, and I and Madam Li's personal maid followed behind. I only saw the two of them fall down together, and then the young lady rolled down the hillside."
