Chapter 51 What will happen years later
Upon hearing this, Marquis Wu'an was displeased.
Because of the other party's status, he dared not show his dissatisfaction, but he still defended Yu Zhiyi: "Your Highness may not know, but Madam Du is truly capable. Several years ago, when she was still a child, she saw through my wife's face that my good-for-nothing son was in trouble. Thanks to her reminder, my son was spared from death."
He only mentioned this one thing because the other matters were basically related to the power struggle. Although he didn't ask for much, only to preserve the glory of the Marquis of Wu'an's family, and he hadn't done anything immoral, it was still inconvenient to talk about these things.
Moreover, when it comes to persuasiveness, nothing else is as persuasive as this.
The Duke of Dingguo's expression shifted, and he began to carefully examine the woman before him.
The woman was beautiful and, upon closer inspection, stunningly gorgeous. But for some reason, when he first saw her, what he noticed was not her stunning beauty, but rather a reassuring aura about her.
It was this sense of peace that made him decide to give her, and himself, a chance.
“Madam Du, if you really can predict the future, why don’t you try to figure out what this Duke is thinking right now?”
Since Marquis Wu'an knew this young lady Du and the two seemed to have a close relationship, it was possible that Marquis Wu'an was secretly passing messages between them.
The Duke of Dingguo wasn't stupid; he wouldn't ask a question that was highly likely to cause a landmine.
The three of them guessed what the Duke of Dingguo was thinking. The Prince of Xiaoyao leaned back in his chair, looking on with amusement.
Yu Bingyue kept her stunningly beautiful face cold, not showing any emotion, but she was certain that Yu Zhiyi would lose miserably.
The more she thought about it these days, the more she felt that Yu Zhiyi's abilities were all fake.
After all, the novel, titled "The Prime Minister's Beloved," makes no mention what kind of metaphysics Du Ziheng's wife possesses.
That's right, she knew perfectly well that she had transmigrated into a book, specifically a sweet romance novel with Du Ziheng as the male lead.
However, the role she transmigrated into was not the female lead, but rather cannon fodder, a mere pawn in the love story between the male and female leads.
That doesn't matter. She's already here, so she can't be cannon fodder.
As for the wicked first wife in the book...
Although she didn't have much of an impression of the character, she clearly remembered that she was a pampered wife who depended on the male lead for survival and couldn't survive without him.
Therefore, Yu Zhiyi must have been faking it some time ago.
That woman was indeed formidable; she even managed to deceive the mighty Queen of the Night. But that was the end of it.
The Duke of Dingguo is not like the small fry in the Du family; that woman can no longer win his favor by talking nonsense.
Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "The Duke is thinking that if I really am not a liar, I might actually be able to find your sister. But if I am a liar, you will hold me accountable for using you as a pawn today."
The Duke of Dingguo's pupils trembled slightly.
Exactly the same word.
The carefree king frowned.
Judging from her grandfather's expression, the woman must have guessed correctly.
Damn it, I didn't expect that woman to be so clever.
He thought the woman would guess that his grandfather wanted her to help find someone.
After all, Marquis Wu'an knew that woman and even invited his maternal grandfather here, so it's hard not to have some doubts.
But she didn't play by the rules.
Hmph, she's lucky.
The Duke of Dingguo ignored everyone's thoughts. He finally began to take this overly young female master seriously, and his arrogant demeanor disappeared.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Please help me find my younger sister, Master. I will reward you handsomely!"
His mother only gave birth to him and his younger sister, but his younger sister went missing when he was young.
This incident became a source of pain for his mother, who never closed her eyes until her death.
This matter became his obsession.
Over the years, he has never given up searching for his younger sister.
However, the Great Sheng Empire is vast, and even though he is now a first-rank duke with countless subordinates, he still cannot achieve his goal.
Yu Zhiyi nodded slightly: "Could you please tell me your sister's birth date and time?"
Just as Dingguo was about to speak, You Bingyue suddenly spoke up: "I know where your sister is."
You Bingyue glanced at Yu Zhiyi with a cool look in her eyes. Although her gaze was subtle, she couldn't hide her smugness.
Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised.
Before she could respond, the carefree prince asked with delight, "Yue'er, do you really know where your great-aunt is?"
You Bingyue nodded.
She was interrupted by an accident while reading the book, and when she came back to continue reading, she happened to come across the part about the Duke of Dingguo's sister, so she had a deep impression of this part.
The book says that a few years later, the Duke of Dingguo caught the beggar who had abducted his sister. The beggar revealed a clue—the Duke of Dingguo's sister had been sold to a small mountain village hundreds of miles away.
That mountain village was extremely poor and had a strong preference for sons over daughters. There were very few women in the village, and the Duke of Dingguo's sister was sold to another man as a shared wife.
Thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth.
The Duke of Dingguo's eyes instantly reddened: "Is what you're saying true?"
You Bingyue said with absolute certainty: "Absolutely no need to say anything."
The Duke of Dingguo trembled with rage: "Shared wife...shared wife! My Qin'er!"
"Our country is determined to raze this damned village to the ground!"
The carefree king also straightened up, his eyes dark and brooding.
Yu Zhiyi looked at You Bingyue with some confusion.
Noticing her gaze, You Bingyue also looked over and asked with a light laugh, "Master, am I right?"
She was quite certain that her clues were correct.
Therefore, no matter what this woman says, it will be considered inferior.
To admit that what she said is correct is nothing more than copying a major case.
To say she's wrong would prove that everything this woman did before was nothing but a deception.
Yu Zhiyi seemed not to hear the malicious question. She looked at the Duke of Dingguo seriously and said, "I need to know your sister's birth date and time."
She had actually seen through the Duke of Dingguo's appearance his sister's fate, but the details could only be calculated using their birth dates and times.
Moreover, she also needs this birth date and time to confirm certain things.
The Duke of Dingguo frowned.
He was now extremely anxious to rescue his sister, but considering that he had already come to beg for help and had already given his thanks, it seemed like he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't get an answer.
Thinking of this, he gave a wink to his confidant behind him, signaling him to gather the men while he stayed behind to hear what this "master" had to say.
He suppressed his anxiety and gave his sister her birth date and time.
After hearing this, Yu Zhiyi reached out and began to calculate.
A short while later, she withdrew her hand, her expression somewhat strange.
That You Bingyue...
Something's strange.
The clues she provided overlapped with what the Duke of Dingguo was going to do a few years later.
But You Bingyue was not involved in this matter...
The thought had barely formed in her mind when she saw the Duke of Dingguo's expression change.
You Bingyue appeared in an incident that originally had no involvement!
However, this clue is wrong.
