Chief Jike asked, "Do you think Princess Yongfu, given her personality, would be willing to clean up the mess?"
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chief Duo said, "I think we should ask Princess Yongfu for an explanation."
When these words were spoken, everyone knew that they were more inclined to believe that Princess Yongfu was telling the truth.
Chief Duo spoke frankly: "If Prince Xuan had a better background, I think it would be possible for him to have an illegitimate child, but Prince Xuan... even basic necessities are a problem, who would want to have an illegitimate child?"
Everyone fell silent.
"Women aren't stupid," Chief Duo muttered. "I heard that Princess Xuan waited for him for several years, when her life was uncertain and the family was poor. If you had someone else outside, would your wives wait for you and take care of the elderly and children?"
"..."
Won't.
The chieftain thought of his wife, who not only wouldn't wait, but probably remarried with her son as soon as she found out he was having an affair.
Chief Jin said, "Isn't it said that Han people are very particular about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"
The remaining chieftains stared at Chief Jin, who was speaking, with horrified expressions, as if they were looking at a fool.
Chief Jin scratched his head and realized that someone who could raise someone like Princess Yongfu could not possibly adhere to the three obediences and four virtues!
Chief Mu coughed and said, "Then let's send them directly to Princess Yongfu. Do you think the evidence she provides is credible?"
"At least he's more trustworthy than these people."
“I think so too,” Chief Duo said. “And looking at this matter, there’s no reason at all. If it was just lust at first sight, there would be no need to go to such great lengths, to marry her, and then wait for her to get pregnant… Moreover, there are many flaws, it seems like a hasty act. Even if there were no child, what that beast did deserves to be torn to pieces. I have a suspicion that those people initially planned to marry Chief Mu’s daughter first, and then slowly infiltrate our ranks.”
Chief Sha continued, "That's right! Because they have no soldiers or territory, they want to marry Chief Mu's daughter. They might kill Chief Mu's son next, and then they can inherit the village. They also have a good relationship with us. Moreover, the Han officials in Nanzhong seem to be from the previous dynasty. Otherwise, Princess Yongfu wouldn't have dared to kill them all. In the end, the whole of Nanzhong would fall into their hands."
“If that’s the explanation, it makes sense,” Chief Jin asked. “Then why did they change their plans?”
The chieftain of Sha said, "Because the southwest has become chaotic, they didn't want to wait that long, so they took this opportunity. If Princess Yongfu hadn't come, they might have succeeded."
Chief Mu nodded, agreeing in his heart. After all, among these people, he was the only one with a young son, while the others had several sons.
Chief Jin asked, "Then who will go to see Princess Yongfu?"
The chief of the sand stronghold said, "The chief of the wood stronghold must go."
No one had any objection to this, after all, the chieftain of Mu Village was the biggest victim.
The chieftain rubbed his hands together: "So, this time, Princess Yongfu will be sent over?"
Chief Duo said, "It's difficult. Why not just send these people over and see what Princess Yongfu has to say?"
"Send three over, and we'll keep two for interrogation," said Chief Jike. "We can't just accept whatever they say in the end!"
That's how it was settled.
After staying for dinner, the group of people left.
Chief Jin and Chief Sha left together. They immediately ordered everyone to stay away before Chief Jin whispered, "Old Sha, do you think this is feasible?"
The chieftain of Sha said, "I don't know whether the imperial court was involved in this matter, but Princess Yongfu should not have been involved."
Chief Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's true."
The two of them were actually acting out a scheme in front of Chief Mu just now, but they also had their own agenda.
The chieftain said, "Think about the situation in Fuzhou. Don't you want our people to be living a prosperous life? Moreover, the people who stayed in the city told me something. The people Princess Yongfu brought, besides investigating that beast, are also asking about things like the special products of the South. They also go to the streets every day to check the shops and such."
If they hadn't known these things, they wouldn't have been moved and ultimately decided to help Princess Yongfu. After all, without resolving the knot in Chief Mu's heart, they couldn't cooperate with Princess Yongfu.
Chief Jin sighed and said, "I hope our decision today won't be a mistake."
“What was the situation like in Fuzhou back then? It was even worse than in our southern region. And what about now?” Chief Sha said through gritted teeth. “You’ve seen those merchants from Fuzhou before. Besides, this matter looks like it was done by people from the previous dynasty. Give Princess Yongfu some time, and she will definitely be able to find more evidence.”
The chieftain of Jinzhai nodded.
The chieftain said, “Think about the medical skills and knowledge of the Han people. Don’t you want to live a prosperous life, with dedicated people to take care of your wife when she gives birth, and your children to be able to read and write? Even if not for ourselves, we should think about our clan and future generations.”
Thinking of the situation in Fuzhou, Chief Jin's expression became even more determined: "As long as Princess Yongfu is willing to treat us the same way she treated Fuzhou, I would sell my life to her."
