From then on, Li Huai'an became her only support in Lingyang City.
This is actually one of the reasons why Zhang Wan advised Zhao Shouzhen to leave Lingyang.
With her father, the Grand Secretary, around, Zhao Yun would never have a moment's peace. Once she lost her support, she would quickly weigh the pros and cons and wholeheartedly rely on her man.
In Lanfang Courtyard, Zhang Wan carefully helped Zhao Zhi sit down and asked her if she was feeling unwell.
Zhao Zhi shook her head.
She told Zhang Wan that she had decided to go to Yunchao with Cui Shenghe.
“Mother had already agreed to this before, but who would have thought that your grandmother would pass away, followed by the Qinglian Temple incident, alas…” Zhang Wan said worriedly, “That’s a den of tigers and wolves. Can he… can the two of you protect yourselves?”
Zhao Zhi nodded.
“Mother, I’ve made up my mind. I also want to take this opportunity to go to Yunchao to investigate some things. However, before I go to Yunchao, there’s one more thing I need to do.” Zhao Zhi hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “We’ll talk about it later.”
"Since you've made up your mind, I have something here for you to take to Yunchao. You might find it useful."
As she spoke, Zhang Wan instructed Baozhu to go back to her room and retrieve the half of the Yin-Yang jade pendant.
Baozhu took the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant and hurriedly headed towards Lanfang Courtyard, but was stopped by Zhao Yun, who had just come out of Zhao Shouzhen's study.
"Baozhu, stop! What are you holding in your hand?"

"Open it and let me see." Zhao Yun was very curious. "Judging from this direction, are you planning to send this to your second sister's courtyard?"
Baozhu nodded in agreement.
"Mother always favors Zhizhi, so I should open it and see what good things are inside!"
Zhao Yun reached out to snatch the box.
"No! Miss! Madam will beat me to death if she finds out!" Baozhu cried.
"If you don't show it to me, I'll beat you to death!" Zhao Yun said angrily. "You all side with Second Sister, and now even a maid like you dares to talk back to me! Yu Ming, slap her!"
"Miss," Yu Ming shook her head, gesturing to Zhao Yun, "Let's forget about it."
Zhao Yun slapped Yu Ming across the face, "Even you're siding with her, aren't you?!"
Yu Ming covered her burning face and sobbed softly, "Miss, you know I've always been on your side."
As Yu Ming explained, she secretly winked at Bao Zhu, signaling her to hurry up and leave.
Upon seeing this, Baozhu hurried away as if fleeing, carrying the box to Lanfang Courtyard.
Zhao Yun glared at Yu Ming resentfully and quickly followed.
