Chapter 668: A Ruthless Person
"This is too dangerous."
Madam Ye knew that Ji Yunshu knew some kung fu, but it was still far behind the guards of the Yu Mansion who were selected from the desperate criminals from all over the place.
What's more, they may only have one chance.
Once the other party finds out that they are trying to steal the account books, they are very likely to transfer the account books.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I will be careful. Even if I am discovered, I will find a way to escape. You don't have to worry."
Madam Ye felt that the account book was of vital importance and did not want to miss this opportunity to completely bring down the Yu family.
She hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Perhaps we can persuade Princess Rong'an to help?"
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow. "She's the eldest young master's wife of the Yu family. Everything in the Yu family will belong to her son in the future. Why do you think she would help to bring down the Yu family?"
Madam Ye stared at Ji Yunshu and said, "You've already come to me, how could you not know about Princess Rong'an and Young Master Yu? That child is not her son at all. If possible, she might want the Yu family dead even more than we do."
Ji Yunshu narrowed his eyes. "Princess Rong'an went to the capital because she found out that the son she raised wasn't her biological son. Did you tell her that?"
Madam Ye said, "I was the one who found a way to let her know, but even if I didn't do anything, she would have suspected it herself. The older the child gets, the more he looks like a member of the Yu family, but Princess Rong'an and Young Master Yu were never actually married."
This was beyond Ji Yunshu's expectation: "You mean, over the years, they have..."
She really wanted to say that it seemed that Young Master Yu really had deep feelings for Madam Ye.
But when she thought of the deep hatred between the two people, she couldn't say it.
Unexpectedly, Madam Ye seemed to know what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Do you think he didn't touch the princess because of me?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her mocking expression and became confused again: "Isn't it?"
Madam Ye sneered, "Of course not. When my father was convicted, he secretly hid me and saved my life. I was grateful to him and devoted myself to him. But later I found out that it was the Yu family who harmed my family. So I made him a eunuch. He should have been without any descendants."
She spoke with a cruel look, but also with a hint of regret.
She wanted Yu Da to have no children or grandchildren, but she gave birth to a son for him.
Ji Yunshu immediately stood in awe. This man was truly a ruthless person.
Of all the women she had ever met, she was probably the most decisive.
But she had nothing to say about this matter, so she asked, "What about the pearl?"
Madam Ye said, "It's Princess Rong'an's child. My child was born before Zhenzhu, and he took her away. Princess Rong'an gave birth to another man's child, and he wanted to strangle the child to death. I saved the child. I knew he wouldn't let the child go if I left, so when I escaped, I took the child with me."
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu really admired her.
Ji Yunshu could imagine how difficult her situation was at that time.
But she still risked being discovered and saved a little life.
Moreover, she named the child Pearl and raised her so well, which shows that she really treated the child like a treasure.
“You’re amazing.”
She sincerely felt that Madam Ye was an extraordinary person.
Madam Ye smiled bitterly, "I was forced to do it. If I hadn't done anything then, I would have driven myself crazy. But I did it, and it's easier now. These years, with Pearl by my side, I've felt much calmer. Her mother is a princess, but she's not necessarily happier than me. What else do I have to complain about?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Use the pearl to talk to Princess Rong'an. She might be able to help."
She thought of the day when Madam Ye asked Zhenzhu to go to Yu Mansion with her. Perhaps at that time, she had already thought about letting Princess Rong'an and her daughter meet.
Madam Ye said, "After all, they have been married for many years. Even if they don't trust each other, it would be easier for Princess Rong'an to get the account book than for us."
It was difficult for them to even enter the Yu family.
Ji Yunshu said, "I will find a way to meet Princess Rong'an before the birthday banquet."
After finishing the discussion, seeing that it was getting late, Ji Yunshu said goodbye and left.
Zhao Shen was reading in his room when he heard the noise. He put the book aside and asked, "How is it?"
Ji Yunshu stepped forward and pinched his face: "You guessed it all right."
Zhao Shen grasped her pinching hand in his palm and asked, "She admitted it herself?"
They were just guessing, without any evidence.
It would take a lot of work to find out what happened back then, and they don't have the time now.
"Yeah, she admitted it before I even said anything. It's like she's been waiting for me to come."
Zhao Shen thought about it and understood the cause and effect of the matter.
"If we hadn't come, she might have taken action on her own. Princess Rong'an discovered that her son wasn't her biological son, and it must have been her doing. Perhaps because she realized we might be here to investigate the Yu family, she chose to stop and wait to see what we would do."
Ji Yunshu was truly impressed by his reasoning ability.
"You're right. The first thing she said was that the most important thing for us now is to find the account book. It's obvious that she has already thought about what to do."
Zhao Shen became interested: "Does she know where the account book is?"
He was still thinking about how to find the whereabouts of the account book.
This was not easy because he knew too little about Young Master Yu and had no idea where he would keep the account book.
Ji Yunshu said, "She said there's a secret room beneath the rockery in Young Master Yu's courtyard. The account book is probably there, but we probably can't easily get into Young Master Yu's courtyard."
Knowing the whereabouts of the account book, Zhao Shen was no longer anxious. He immediately thought of a solution: "We can find Princess Rong'an."
Princess Rong'an and Young Master Yu are husband and wife after all, and they live in the same courtyard.
Whatever she wants to do is much easier than others.
"Madam Ye also said so. She also told me something. Princess Rong'an probably won't refuse after knowing this."
Zhao Shen: "Ye Zhenzhu."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help wanting to pinch him again: "There's really no suspense when talking to you."
Zhao Shen played with her fingers and smiled, "This isn't something difficult to guess. Madam Ye is a sensible person. She definitely knows that children shouldn't be involved in adult matters. Besides, it's the princess's child after all. It's definitely more valuable alive than dead. Look, isn't it coming in handy now?"
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but hit him: "Madam Ye treats Zhenzhu very well. You can see that Zhenzhu's manners are no worse than those girls from wealthy families."
This is also the reason why Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen knew that they had guessed that Zhen Zhifu’s woman was Madam Ye.
Of course, Zhao Shen would not argue with Ji Yunshu about such a thing.
Now that he had a clue, he was in a good mood. "You should go see Princess Rong'an tomorrow. She has something to do tonight at midnight. Do you want to go and see her?"
