Chapter 673 Princess Rong'an's Request
"She is indeed still alive, but whether she can survive in the future is hard to say."
Ji Yunshu reminded.
Princess Rong'an thought Ji Yunshu was threatening her and said coldly, "I told you, just ask for what you want. I won't refuse."
Ji Yunshu said, "The one who threatened Zhenzhu's life was not me, but the Yu family. The people who raised her have a grudge against the Yu family. You should know very well what kind of people the Yu family is."
Princess Rong'an was stunned for a moment before she said, "That Madam Ye, is she the daughter of the Zhen family?"
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised, but then she understood. Princess Rong'an would definitely investigate his biological mother after she found out whether the child she raised was still her own.
People outside may not know what happened back then, but there must be someone in the Yu family who knows about it.
"Yes, her father was framed by the Yu family, and the whole family was implicated. Young Master Yu saved her, but she soon discovered the truth and fled with her child."
Princess Rong'an couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't she know that that's not her biological daughter?"
Princess Rong'an could imagine how difficult Madam Ye's situation was at that time. Under such circumstances, she escaped with a child, and people could only think that the child was hers.
Ji Yunshu shook her head: "She knew, but she knew even more clearly that if she didn't take the child away, the child would definitely not survive."
Princess Rong'an was stunned. She was naturally aware of the deep hatred between Madam Ye and the Yu family, so she knew that Madam Ye would definitely seek revenge on Master Yu.
"She can't deal with the Yu family. The final result will only be death. Wouldn't it be better for her to find a place to spend the rest of her life in peace? Why don't you persuade her?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "People always have to do something in life. If the hatred in her heart cannot be eliminated, she will never be at peace for the rest of her life. The princess is a princess of a golden branch and jade leaf, and she married into the most aristocratic family in Jiangnan. In the eyes of others, her life is considered perfect, but are you truly happy?"
It was the first time that Ji Yunshu faced such a calm Princess Rong'an, and she couldn't help but talk too much.
Princess Rong'an wasn't angry at all. She chuckled softly, "You're right. Besides, you're here to investigate the Yu family, so naturally you want to get as many people as possible to deal with them. I just want to ask, after this, will the Yu family still exist?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and looked back at her: "I thought the princess knew what the Yu family had done."
Princess Rong'an ruined Yu Qi's plan with a casual remark in the capital. Ji Yunshu didn't believe that she did it unintentionally.
Yu Qi looked down on Princess Rong'an, thinking that apart from her noble status, she had no other redeeming qualities, but he forgot that she was a princess who grew up in the deep palace after all.
The late emperor's harem was full of open and covert struggles, and it was very exciting. Princess Rong'an's mother was also favored, so how could she be such a pushover?
Princess Rong'an said, "So what? These noble families may all sound glorious and prosperous, but who actually truly abides by the rules? So, does that mean the Emperor has finally given up on the Yu family?"
She said this with a sense of grief for the rabbit's death.
Ji Yunshu said, "Princess, there's no need to say that to the Emperor. If the Yu family had been more peaceful, the Emperor probably wouldn't have wanted to start such a war. Collaborating with Prince Yong is treason, something no one can tolerate."
Princess Rong'an looked at Ji Yunshu intently for a moment. "How dare you criticize the Emperor? I don't know why, but when I see you, I think of someone. You're nothing like her."
Ji Yunshu and the third young lady of the Sheng family really don't look alike at all.
But whenever Princess Rong'an saw her, she would think of Ji Yunshu.
She thought about it carefully and found that they were somewhat similar. The person in front of her was obviously just a businessman's wife, but she was neither humble nor arrogant in front of her, and spoke to her naturally without any restraint.
Few people can maintain such an attitude in front of her.
Ji Yunshu knew that even though she had changed her appearance and her face was different, her overall temperament had not changed.
If Princess Rong'an was more perceptive, she might be able to see the clues.
So she changed the subject and asked, "The princess said she would help, but is that true?"
Princess Rong'an nodded, but paused before continuing, "If the Yu family is destroyed, I will have nowhere to stay. Since you are here on behalf of the court, can you promise me that after this matter is settled, you will let me take my daughter back to the capital."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Marquis Jingning for instructions."
Princess Rong'an said, "I don't know who the Marquis of Jingning is, but the emperor is generally quite magnanimous. Once the Yu family falls, I will be of no use to him. He won't mind me returning to the capital."
Ji Yunshu said, "You are a princess of the royal family, the emperor's sister. The emperor will naturally show leniency to you."
Princess Rong'an said, "Yes, he even let Aunt Taining go, let alone me? But it's my daughter, I owe her a lot, I hope she can appear before the public in the future."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh at the compassion of all parents in the world. Princess Rong'an had only met Ye Zhenzhu once, but she had already made plans for her.
She nodded: "I'll do my best."
Princess Rong'an's daughter was not a member of the Yu family, which was originally considered a scandal.
But for the emperor, the Yu family must be eradicated, and it doesn't matter if this non-Yu family bloodline remains.
Seeing that she dared to agree to such a thing, Princess Rong'an suddenly felt doubtful.
The Sheng family is not very famous in the capital, although it is possible that someone in their family is the emperor's hidden agent.
But can an ordinary hidden chess piece have such great power?
She looked at Ji Yunshu suspiciously: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Ever since she found out that her child was replaced by her husband, she has hated Young Master Yu to the core.
But she only had a status that sounded noble, but no one to rely on.
In fact, even if her father were still alive, she would not be able to let him make decisions for her.
Because she dared not say that the child was not from the Yu family.
Based on this, no one would be able to say anything even if the Yu family executed the child.
Now someone comes to her door to help her and can even save her child, why wouldn't she accept it?
She has been living as a widow for so many years after marrying into the Yu family. She has had enough of this kind of life.
Ji Yunshu said, "Most of the money used by Prince Yong to plot rebellion came from the Yu family. What we need to do now is to find the account books. It is said that the old man of the Yu family has been away from the family for a long time, so these account books are most likely in the hands of the eldest son of the Yu family. What do you think?"
Princess Rong'an nodded. "It seems you've already thoroughly investigated the Yu family before you came. The head of the Yu family is nominally my father-in-law. But ever since marrying me, he's been sidelined by the eldest son. Over the years, all matters of the Yu family have been decided by the eldest son, so those account books must be in his hands."
Ji Yunshu said, "So what you need to do is get those account books. That will be the key to convicting the Yu family. Do you know where he might have hidden the account books?"
Princess Rong'an smiled and said, "He never allowed me to interfere in his affairs. I've never even been to his study. Since you said that, you must have found out, right?"
