Chapter 688: Such a Large Sum of Money
Ji Yunshu hadn't finished speaking yet: "You, the Yu family, enjoy your wealth and prosperity while stepping on a sea of bones. Can you sleep peacefully? If the emperor lets you go, how will you face the people of the world?"
Hearing this, Yu Shiyi, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but say, "Those people were killed by Big Brother. Big Brother has already paid for their lives. Isn't that enough?"
Before Ji Yunshu could say anything, Old Master Yu angrily shouted, "What are you talking about? Won't others blame the Yu family for your eldest brother's misfortune? Why don't you understand that a large family is closely connected, and that their success and failure are shared by all?"
Yu Shiyi understood what his grandfather and Ji Yunshu said, and knew that the Yu family was doomed this time, and he was already panicking.
But at this time, the grandfather still thought that he didn't understand reason. He felt a little wronged and angry: "I don't understand, but you taught my eldest brother personally, so he understands. That's why he did those shameful things and implicated the whole family."
Old Master Yu was shaking with anger: "You evil creature..."
Yu Shiyi was still a teenager at heart, and he was not convinced. "I know I am nothing in your eyes, and I am not as good as Big Brother in every way, but at least I am a normal person."
Old Master Yu didn't know what he was thinking about. His head buzzed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"grandfather……"
Yu Shiyi was startled. He hurried forward and used his sleeve to wipe the blood off the old man.
Then he fed the old man another pill, and he slowly recovered.
He narrowed his eyes at Ji Yunshu, who was standing by and watching, and panted, "I'm sorry for the misfortune of our family. Madam, please forgive me."
Ji Yunshu was indeed enjoying the show. The internal strife in a large family like the Yu family was even more serious than Ji Yunshu had imagined.
Yu Chuannan and Yu Shiyi are from the same mother, but they don't get along with each other.
She shook her head and said, "Every family has its own problems. Don't worry too much, old man. It's better to take good care of yourself."
Old Master Yu waved his hands with some difficulty: "At this point, Madam, there is no need to say such things. I know what is going on at home."
After saying this, he looked outside and said, "Marquis Jingning will be here soon, right? I heard that he was living away from home at a young age and collected evidence on his own that the previous Marquis Jingning murdered his father, and then he filed a complaint directly with the Dali Temple."
Ji Yunshu nodded.
Old Master Yu exclaimed in admiration, "Without destruction, there is no construction. The young are truly formidable. The Emperor chose him as his sword. I'm sure He doesn't intend to let my Yu family go. I won't say anything else, but Princess Rong'an and her son..."
Before he could finish his words, a group of people walked in from outside.
Walking in front was Jingning Hou Qi Zheng.
Zhao Shen followed behind him, changed his appearance, and was relieved to see that Ji Yunshu was fine. He nodded at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu knew that the account book had been obtained.
Princess Rong'an's voice was the first to ring out. She stepped forward and said, "Grandfather, don't worry about us mother and son. Oh, no, we aren't mother and son. The eldest young master wasn't born by me. He was born to a woman outside and brought home by the eldest young master. He is of the Yu family's bloodline, but he has no relationship to me."
Old Master Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Princess Rong'an sneered, "Does the old master really not know, or even if he knows, he must give a bastard to me to help your Yu family preserve this bloodline?"
If that child is really hers, no matter what the final outcome of the Yu family is, she will definitely keep her child.
But he is not.
Although she raised the child, Yu Chuannan probably wanted to prevent her from knowing the truth and causing harm to the child. As soon as the child became a little sensible, he took the child out of the backyard on the grounds that boys should not grow up in the inner house.
So they are not actually close as mother and son.
As the child grew older and looked more and more like a member of the Yu family, Princess Rong'an did begin to have doubts.
It was not until last year that she realized that the child was indeed not hers, and then she found an excuse to return to the capital.
During this year, the mother and son had almost no communication, so Princess Rong'an had nothing to be reluctant to part with.
Old Master Yu seemed to be under great shock and was coughing so hard that he could hardly breathe. Yu Shiyi was right next to him, hurriedly helping him to breathe.
Ji Yunshu felt that he was completely different from the man who was fishing calmly when he first came in.
Princess Rong'an had long hated the Yu family. Now, looking at the frail old man who was barely breathing, she said cheerfully, "What don't you know? Didn't you teach me that since I've married into the Yu family, I should abide by their rules, be tolerant and generous, and not interfere in men's affairs? I thought the men in your family were so busy all day, never coming home to do anything good?"
Yu Shiyi said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you have to say such things, sister-in-law? You have been married into the Yu family for so many years, and the Yu family has never treated you unfairly, right?"
Princess Rong'an laughed out loud. "Yes, I'm not being treated unfairly. Do you know that your eldest brother isn't even a man? He's never slept with me. Your mother thinks I'm incompetent and can't hold my husband's heart. She's scolded me countless times for this. Haven't you heard me?"
Yu Shiyi blurted out: "You're talking nonsense. You haven't slept together before. How could you..."
He swallowed the word "pregnant" back.
Only then did he realize what a scandal this was.
His eldest brother was unable to have sex, but his eldest sister-in-law became pregnant not long after she got married.
More importantly, she is a royal princess.
Princess Rong'an didn't care and told the truth directly: "That's right, the child is not from your Yu family, so she was replaced by your eldest brother at birth. In the years since I married in, except for that child, I believe I have done everything a daughter-in-law should do. I don't owe your Yu family anything, and I will not save anyone in your Yu family."
Yu Shiyi was furious: "You...you..."
He really wanted to curse Princess Rong'an. Doesn't this woman have any sense of shame?
She gave birth to another man's child, and she still has the nerve to blame her elder brother?
But Princess Rong'an was not only a princess of the royal family, but also his sister-in-law. No matter what she did, it was not his turn to speak.
Old Master Yu tugged at him and said, "Don't argue meaninglessly."
After saying that, he looked at Princess Rong'an and said, "I understand what you mean, Princess. You and that child from Chuannan were married by the late emperor. No matter what happened between you, you are the daughter-in-law of my Yu family."
Princess Rong'an said with a smile, "He's already dead. Do you really expect me to remain a widow for him? Do you think he's worthy of that?"
Old Master Yu said, "He's already dead. Doesn't that mean the princess doesn't need to live well? And the child you gave birth to is still alive, right? Think about her, a girl. How is she going to live in the future facing all those rumors?"
Princess Rong'an sneered, "At this point, instead of worrying about us mother and daughter, Old Master should worry about his own descendants. I have already handed over all the account books that Yu Chuannan hid in the secret room to Marquis Jingning. It's a huge sum of money. Will Old Master explain where the money came from and where it went?"
