Chapter 672 If He Isn’t Unlucky, Who Will Be Unlucky?
So what if Yu Shiyi knew that she was a woman?
As long as she wanted, she could immediately transform herself into another man, or even restore her female identity and become the third young master's wife of the Sheng family.
The Yu family is in trouble now, and Yu Shiyi can't always keep his eyes on her.
Zhao Shen disagreed: "Don't underestimate the Yu family."
The local clans are deeply rooted and cannot be easily shaken.
This is also the reason why the emperor has turned a blind eye to it all these years.
A single move can affect the entire body, and Daxia cannot afford internal friction now.
Therefore, even the emperor had to learn to be patient and take things step by step.
Ji Yunshu said, "How could that be? A behemoth like the Yu family deserves no attention. What happened last night? Did you get anything? When I came back, everything seemed normal on the boat. Did they not catch anyone?"
Zhao Shen said, "We did catch them. They were all pirates. They confessed to their crimes, but they didn't admit to any dealings with the ship. They just said they wanted to rob the people on board."
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu was surprised: "No evidence?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "They were all clean, without any identification, and they were captured before boarding the ship."
Although Ji Yunshu felt a little disappointed, he changed his mind and thought that this might be an opportunity.
"Since they have no identification, then they belong to whoever we say they belong to. As pirates, they can enter and leave Hangzhou as if they were in a deserted place. It would be difficult for the Yu family to deny their connection with them."
Zhao Shen said, "Qi San also meant the same thing."
Ji Yunshu was amused: "Yu Shiyi actually thought Qi San was easy to deal with. If he doesn't suffer such arrogance and underestimates his enemy, who will suffer?"
Zhao Shen said, "Qi San is helpless. After so many days, there has been no progress in the matter he wants to investigate."
Ji Yunshu said, "Don't we have the evidence Yang Zhen left behind? His case will finally come to a conclusion."
Zhao Shen said, "But Yang Zhen's appearance isn't necessarily a good thing. Why do you think the Yu family must deal with him?"
Ji Yunshu thought about how Xianxian was particularly enthusiastic about Yang Zhen's affairs.
She sighed: "No matter what, we have to get him out first. He may be able to help us deal with the Yu family. As for who may be behind him, we have to face them, don't we?"
Zhao Shen said: "You are right. Let's wait and see how things develop. Qi Sanqie has a big drama to perform."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "He won't directly blame the Yu family, right?"
Zhao Shen said, "Why not? The Yu family doesn't have a good impression of him anyway. He can just go directly to their house and avoid suspicion."
Ji Yunshu said, "Alright, Lord Qi's moves are truly extraordinary."
Zhao Shen finally waited for her to come back, and only then did he feel relieved and went to sleep leisurely.
Ji Yunshu slept exceptionally well last night. She was not sleepy. She counted the days and found that it was only a few days away from Mr. Yu’s birthday, so she went to the Yu Mansion to find Princess Rong’an.
If Princess Rong'an could produce the account books, the Yu family's affairs would have come to a conclusion.
As the birthday banquet approached, Princess Rong'an was extremely busy. When Ji Yunshu arrived, she was still checking the guest list, obviously afraid of any mistakes.
When she heard Ji Yunshu asked for a meeting, she was a little dissatisfied, but she was worried about something, so she met him.
"Why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Ji Yunshu had just finished walking when he heard Princess Rong'an ask.
Ji Yunshu stood up and said seriously, "I have something important to discuss. Princess, please ask your attendants to leave."
Princess Rong'an frowned, then waved to the people around her: "Everyone, go down."
After everyone left, she said to Ji Yunshu, "Can I tell you now?"
Ji Yunshu took out a seal from his sleeve and said, "Princess, you know I'm from the capital, but I'm actually here to investigate the Yu family."
Princess Rong'an took the seal and examined it carefully. After a long pause, she said, "You can investigate the Yu family if you want. What does it have to do with me? I'm a princess. The Yu family has been wary of me from the beginning. I know nothing."
She spoke these words spontaneously, but it was obvious that she had prepared them.
Ji Yunshu said, "While investigating the Yu family, we discovered something that I thought the princess might be interested in."
Princess Rong'an's heart suddenly began to beat violently: "What's the matter?"
Ji Yunshu said: "Your child."
When Princess Rong'an heard these words, she felt that everything was settled.
She hesitated for a moment between admitting or denying it, and finally said, "You know something."
"Then Princess, can you answer a question for me first?"
Princess Rong'an's emotions had calmed down. She said expressionlessly, "Ask."
Ji Yunshu stared into her eyes and asked word by word, "What is your attitude towards the Yu family?"
Princess Rong'an smiled and said, "You've already found out my secret, what do you think?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's hard to say. After all, you have been married for many years, so there may be feelings between you."
Princess Rong'an looked at her without flinching. "You don't need to test me. When I first married, I did feel guilty. Over the years, I have been working hard to be the young lady of the Yu family and the future head mistress. But it wasn't until last year that I realized how wrong I was. How could the Yu family allow an outsider to be their head?"
Ji Yunshu could hear a hint of hatred in her voice. She asked in confusion, "When you gave birth, didn't you have any reliable confidants around you? How come you didn't even know whether it was a boy or a girl?"
Princess Rong'an's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked anxiously, "How did you know I gave birth to a daughter?"
She believed that Ji Yunshu would not do anything without a purpose.
Ji Yunshu said, "Not only do I know that the princess gave birth to a daughter, I also know where the child is."
Princess Rong'an understood what she meant and stopped asking. "My wet nurse once said she saw a girl, but for some reason, the moment I took her out, she turned into a boy. I thought she was mistaken, and since having a son as my first child would solidify my position in the Yu family, she kept quiet."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "It should be at that time that your child was replaced."
"Then my child, is he still alive?"
Princess Rong'an seemed to have used up all her strength to ask this question.
Ever since she found out that her son was not her biological son, she had thought of countless possibilities. No matter which one, there was no chance that the child she gave birth to would survive.
No one knew better than her how cruel and ruthless Young Master Yu was.
He would not leave such an obvious disaster behind.
But from what Ji Yunshu said, the child is still alive?
Fearing that Ji Yunshu would not want to say it, she added, "Just tell me what you want me to do. If I can do it, I will never refuse."
Ji Yunshu said: "That girl is indeed still alive, and you have seen her before."
Princess Rong'an's eyes widened suddenly. "Is it the little girl named Zhenzhu?"
No wonder she felt that the girl looked familiar when she saw her that day.
