Hongyun was also looking at Qin Yanning carefully. She had been in the brothel for many years and had seen cruel people, but she had never seen a girl who would attack her own father.

The young lady in front of me doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with. So what kind of unscrupulous things did her relatives do to force her to this point?

Qin Yanning didn't take Hong Yun's secret observation seriously. Hong Yun neatly packed her jewelry, banknotes and some newly bought clothes into a small bag.

She was very efficient and she had just asked the cook downstairs to buy this bag.

After packing up all the things, Hongyun looked at her once gorgeous clothes and sighed, but she did not show any reluctance.

She had long wanted to redeem herself and start her life over, but she didn't know what to do or where to go after she got out.

What Qin Yanning asked her to do now was an opportunity for her.

It worked. With the help of the nobleman's power, she could start over, go to the south of the Yangtze River or the frontier, open a small inn or even sell some rouge and powder. She could be said to be living the life she had always dreamed of.

If it doesn't work out, life won't be worse than living in Baihua Tower.

Hongyun slung the small bag over his shoulder and said, "Madam, let's go."

Hongyun was not wearing any makeup at this time, and she had also lost the worldly air of someone who was eager to please others. She looked more like a beautiful girl from a small family.

Qin Yanning took the two of them downstairs and got into the carriage. Although the coachman saw that Qin Yanning brought one more person down, he did not say anything.

The prince had already instructed him that he was now the princess's coachman, and that no matter what he did, he should follow the princess's opinion, as long as it did not endanger the lady's safety.

Hongyun got on the carriage and looked around curiously.

This carriage looks ordinary on the surface, but unexpectedly there is something else inside.

This was Qin Yanning's special request. Logically, she could have used the large carriage that Shen Ziyu left at home, but in order not to attract attention, she chose a smaller one.

Qin Yanning glanced at Hongyun and whispered, "Hongyun is not a good name. From today on, you will be called Meng Zhaozhao."

"Bright flame, may your future be bright."

Meng Zhaozhao quickly accepted her new name. "You've got to say, this name, Madam, is really good. It sounds better than Hongyun, and it's also better than Cuiya, the name I had when I was a child."

Lan Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hongyun rolled his eyes at her unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

Lan Yue scratched her head sheepishly, "Before Madam picked me up, my name was San Ya."

Hongyun also laughed when he heard this. Qin Yanning never thought that Lanyue and Hongyun had such a complicated fate.

It seems that the two of them are having fun here?

Qin Yanning put away the smile on his face and continued, "Your current identity is the only daughter of Meng Mingzhi, the centurion of the Yan family army."

"Your mother died of illness the year you were born, and your father died suppressing the rebellion three and a half years ago. Apart from these, you have no other relatives in your family."

"The reason you haven't gotten married yet is because you just came out of mourning."

"Old Madam Yan took pity on your miserable life and brought you to the capital. She arranged for you to stay temporarily in Baima Hutong, behind the Baihua Tower, and planned to find a good marriage for you in the capital."

"Old Madam Yan has been searching for a month for you, but she hasn't found a suitable husband for you yet. I suggested placing you in the Qin family to relieve my grandmother's worries."

Hearing this, Meng Zhaozhao also put away his giggling expression and said, "I'll remember what the young lady said."

Qin Yanning nodded and leaned against the carriage to rest for a while.

Although Shen Ziyu was extremely gentle last night, she still felt a little sore in her waist.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the Qin family.

Qin Yanning took Lan Yue and Meng Zhaozhao and went straight to the main hall. She had sent someone to inform the Qin family last night that she would be returning home today.

Qin Hongan took a day off on purpose. Although he didn't like his eldest daughter, she was now the Regent Princess after all. He still took Zhou Xue and Qin Yurou to the main hall early to wait for Qin Yanning.

Qin Yanning lifted the curtain of the main hall and saw Zhou Xue sitting in the main seat at a glance.

The effect of "drinking water makes you fat" is indeed extraordinary. Zhou Xue sat there with her head down, holding a teacup, and Qin Yanning could even see her double chin.

Seeing Qin Yanning come in, Zhou Xue looked up at her and said, "Ning'er, you're back. I injured my leg and didn't go to greet you. You won't blame me, will you?"

Qin Yanning greeted Qin Hongan and sat down on the chair next to Zhou Xue.

"Madam, what are you talking about? You broke your leg. I was not feeling well a few days ago and didn't come to see you. I hope you don't blame me."

"The Concubine knows that you have injured your leg, so she asked me to bring you some ginseng to help you recover. I have asked the servants to deliver it to the warehouse."

Qin Yanning spoke beautifully, and Qin Hongan felt as comfortable as if he had drunk a cup of warm water. Zhou Xue also smiled.

She knew that this damn girl wouldn't be able to cause any waves even if she married the Prince Regent. So what if her maternal family was powerful?

If she dared to disobey herself and Qin Hongan, she would be crushed to death by the label of being unfilial.

At that time, she would like to see whether Qin Yanning could still be her princess steadily.

Before Zhou Xue could say anything, Qin Yanning changed the subject, "But Ning'er sees that Madam doesn't need to make up for it anymore."

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and Madam's face has grown three inches wider. Ning'er remembers that Madam is the most slender. If I overdo it, I'm afraid Madam will blame Ning'er."

Zhou Xue clenched the teacup in her hand when she heard that. What Qin Yanning said was not wrong. She had indeed gained a lot of weight recently.

Ever since she broke her leg, she hardly even dared to eat every day, but she still felt her body getting heavier and heavier.

How dare this little bitch use this to make fun of her? Once her leg is healed, if she goes out for a walk more often and eats less, she will definitely be able to get her figure back to normal.

When Qin Hongan heard Qin Yanning say this, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Xue.

It seems that my cousin has gained a lot of weight, her whole face looks greasy, and she no longer has her former charm.

You know, he likes his cousin because of her slender waist.

Over the years, she has always paid attention to her appearance and has never lost her color like the yellow-faced women in his colleagues' families.

But today, her chin with three layers is scarier than that of a yellow-faced woman.

"How can you talk like that..."

"Okay, is what Ning'er said wrong? You should be more careful too. Don't eat and drink too much just because your leg is injured. You'll only cause problems at your age."

Before Zhou Xue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qin Hongan.

Zhou Xue has always been gentle and considerate in front of Qin Hongan. Seeing that he was unhappy, she stopped talking and instead called him cousin in a low voice.

When Qin Hongan saw her acting coquettishly, the flesh on her face trembled, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart.

Qin Yanning caught the flash of disgust on Qin Hongan's face, and looked down on her as a father in her heart.
