Su Yuntian and Mu Jin could hear the people outside the carriage talking about them.

After getting into the carriage at the foot of the mountain, Mu Jin closed her eyes to rest. Whether it was because she was tired or didn't want to talk to Su Yuntian, Su Yuntian didn't disturb Mu Jin.

Seeing that Mu Jin had opened her eyes and didn't seem to dislike the people's comments, Su Yuntian's face showed a rare tenderness that he usually only showed in front of Shen Qianqian.

He said softly to Mu Jin, "I will not let that bandit go. I will make him point out the mastermind behind it all and give you an explanation."

Seeing that Mu Jin did not react to his words, Su Yuntian continued.

"From now on, you will follow me closely, and I will treat you well and ensure that this kidnapping never happens a third time."

Upon hearing Su Yuntian's words, Mu Jin couldn't help but sneer, which made Su Yuntian frown.

"You don't believe me?"

Mu Jin asked, "Then do you trust me?"

"I believe you!" Seeing that Mu Jin finally responded to his words, Su Yuntian immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"Then if I said that this kidnapping was related to Guangfu and Shen Qianqian, would you believe me?" Mu Jin asked Su Yuntian with a half-smile.

"Impossible, Qianqian wouldn't! Guangfu wouldn't dare either!" Su Yuntian replied immediately.

Mu Jin sneered, her smile like a slap in the face to Su Yuntian, the greatest irony of his earlier "I believe you".

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but how could Qianqian, a woman who never leaves the house, know those bandits, let alone let them harm you? And Guangfu, as a servant, how dare he harbor such wicked intentions towards his master?”

Su Yuntian tried to persuade Mu Jin, but Mu Jin interrupted him.

"It doesn't matter, I was just saying, you don't have to take it seriously." After saying that, Mu Jin closed her eyes again.

Seeing that Mu Jin didn't want to talk to him anymore, Su Yuntian regretted that he had rejected Mu Jin too quickly. He should have taken a more gradual approach.

"Whether you believe it or not, I will treat you well from now on, and I will make everyone in the manor respect you, including Qianqian."

Even after returning to the gate of the Yunwang Mansion, Mu Jin still ignored Su Yuntian.

The area outside the gates of the Prince Yun's Mansion was packed with onlookers.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Su Yuntian lifted the curtain and got off first. Just as he was about to turn around and reach out his hand to Mu Jin, he heard Qing'er crying and rushing towards the carriage, pushing him away.

"Miss, you're finally back! You scared me to death!" After saying that, she reached out and helped Mu Jin down from the carriage. When she saw the wound on Mu Jin's wrist, she felt even more heartache and tears fell in large drops.

"How dare you!" Su Yuntian, who had been pushed away by Qing'er, shouted angrily at her.

Qing'er was startled by the reprimand, and only then did she realize that she had been too excited to see Mu Jin and seemed to have unconsciously pushed Su Yuntian.

Looking at Su Yuntian's gloomy face, Mu Jin curtsied to Su Yuntian: "Your Highness, please calm down. Qing'er's rudeness is my fault for not disciplining her properly. However, she was just too concerned about me. I hope Your Highness will forgive Qing'er's recklessness this time."

Considering that Mu Jin had pleaded for Qing'er, Su Yuntian didn't want to offend Mu Jin. He said gently to Mu Jin, "Let's go back to the manor. I've already arranged for the imperial physician to wait at the Green Bamboo Courtyard. He will clean your wounds and check your body later. If there are any other problems, we'll treat them as well."

Mu Jin replied calmly, "Thank you for your trouble," and then led Qing'er toward the gate of the Yun Prince's Mansion.

Shen Qianqian walked towards Mu Jin and wiped her dry face with a handkerchief. She choked up and said, "Your Highness, you're finally back. I was so worried about you when I learned that you had been kidnapped by the bandits."

Then, seeing Mu Jin's injured wrist, he exclaimed loudly, "Your Highness! How did you get hurt? Did the bandits bully you?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers erupted in uproar. Was this a accusation that the princess had been violated by bandits? What were they to do? Now the prince would despise the princess even more.

When Mu Jin and Qing'er saw Shen Qianqian, their voices grew louder and louder, as if they were afraid that the people around them wouldn't hear them. Su Yuntian couldn't help but frown when he saw Shen Qianqian behaving so unusually.

"I am very grateful that Consort Shen cares about me so much. However, the bandits did not know that I knew that skill. They were all killed by me before they even got close to me."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in uproar once again. They never expected that Princess Yun would know martial arts. Those thugs were really unlucky to have met Princess Yun.

When Shen Qianqian heard Mu Jin say that she knew martial arts, she was taken aback. After she realized what was going on, she forced a smile.

"Hehe~ Really? How come I've never heard of this before, little sister?"

Mu Jin walked up and patted Shen Qianqian's shoulder: "There are many things you don't know. I'm tired, I'll go in first, please make yourself at home, sister."

Mu Jin took two steps, then stopped and turned to Shen Qianqian, saying, "Consort Shen, you don't need to speak so loudly in the future. My ears aren't deaf."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, she gave him a half-smile and then Qing'er entered the Yun Prince's Mansion.

Mu Jin's words made Shen Qianqian blush. She always spoke softly in front of others, but Mu Jin's sudden return had really disrupted her plans.

The night before, Qing'er had already told Guangfu that he had colluded with mountain bandits to kidnap Mu Jin, so that Su Yuntian would only dote on her in the future. The plan was so meticulous, and Mu Jin was clearly kidnapped. How could Mu Jin come back?

Now that she's back, she wants people to know, and she wants Su Yuntian to understand that Mu Jin entered a bandit's den, so how could she be clean? That's why she shouted loudly to the onlookers that Mu Jin had been kidnapped and humiliated.
