Yu's father recognized the seal on this paper!
This is the seal of the Prince of Anqing, who passed away more than ten years ago.
There was a rumor that because Prince Anqing had no children, the late emperor buried all the items that could prove his identity with him.
As for the fiefdom of the Prince of Anqing, in order to show the late emperor's respect for the Prince of Anqing, its name was changed to Anqing Prefecture, in order to mourn the Prince of Anqing.
How did this seal, which should have been buried with Prince Anqing in his mausoleum, end up here?
Yu's father immediately wondered if someone was robbing the tomb, but then he remembered that the royal tomb was located next to the ancestral tomb and was heavily guarded, so it shouldn't be robbed.
That can only mean that this seal was not buried with Prince Anqing in the imperial mausoleum after his death.
But the late emperor's edict was very clear. What exactly is hidden in it?
The more Yu's father thought about it, the more complicated it became, and there was more...
"Brother Xin, you just said we're supporting the descendants of the Prince of Anqing?"
Yu Xin smiled and nodded, explaining casually, "My son recently met a retired palace maid. She used to work in the princes' quarters in the palace and knows a lot of secrets."
"Then my son heard something unexpected: the Prince of Anqing actually had an only grandson!"
Recalling Zhu Yuan's background, Yu Xin glanced at Yu Cheng silently.
“The only grandson of the Prince of Anqing had a very difficult life in the palace because his mother was of low status and he was disliked by the late emperor. After the Prince of Anqing passed away, his only grandson was secretly released from the palace and given to an old servant to raise.”
"Later, because the lineage of Prince Anqing was almost extinct, and no one could threaten the imperial position, Prince Anqing's only grandson was even less of a concern... After the old servant also passed away, he disappeared without a trace..."
Yu Xin had been talking for a long time, and his mouth was a little dry. Looking at the tea in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow.
"Until recently, that old palace maid came to me, saying that she had seen someone who looked like Prince Anqing's offspring. So I sent someone to follow that person for a few days, and it wasn't until yesterday that I confirmed that the person was indeed Prince Anqing's only grandson!"
Yu's father and Yu Cheng, who were standing to the side, were dumbfounded. They never expected there to be such a story behind it.
Yu Xin wanted to laugh but couldn't. While they were processing the news, he quickly took a sip of tea.
“I spoke with him yesterday and got a lot of information. After much consideration, I think that cooperating with him is the most beneficial for us. Since it was not easy to find him, I did not come back to ask my father and took it upon myself to sign the contract with him. I hope my father will understand!”
Yu Xin got up and knelt in front of his father. He lowered his head, so no one could see the expression on his face.
Yu's father received information very quickly; in just a few breaths, he was able to understand the situation.
Coming to his senses, he looked at his second son kneeling before him, his heart and eyes filled with joy.
"Brother Xin did the right thing! Get up quickly! We need to discuss this matter further..."
"Waaaaah... My poor Cheng-ge'er... Who on earth is the heartless bastard who's trying to harm you..."
A shrill voice came from outside.
Yu's mother burst in like a firecracker, reaching out to hug Yu Cheng tightly.
"Poor thing, how did you get hurt so badly? What are we going to do about this bruised little face?"
Yu Cheng was initially pleased to see his mother so worried about him.
Upon hearing this, his face immediately darkened.
No wonder her younger sister is so fond of men; she must have inherited it from her mother.
Mr. Yu frowned, somewhat displeased.
They were having a serious conversation when his wife came out and ruined it, saying all sorts of nonsense.
