Chapter 689: Doing My Best
She didn't expect that at this time, Old Master Yu was still plotting against her and wanted to tie her to the Yu family.
But why?
When she first married into the Yu family, she also wanted to live a good life.
Although Yu Chuannan had never touched her, he was quite nice to her.
When she found out she was pregnant, she was terrified. In panic, she confessed to Yu Chuannan, but he didn't say anything and asked her to give birth to the child.
At that time, she was grateful to Yu Chuannan, so in the years that followed, even though Yu Chuannan never stayed overnight in her room, she never complained.
Even out of guilt, she took over the housekeeping duties after her mother-in-law died and has been doing her best ever.
But it turned out that all this was just her wishful thinking. Yu Chuannan asked her to give birth to the child not because he was kind-hearted, but just so that he could bring back the child he had outside with a legitimate reason.
He exchanged her daughter without telling her, making her act like a fool and hold someone else's son in the palm of her hand for more than ten years.
But her daughter almost died at the hands of Yu Chuannan at birth.
If it weren't for Madam Ye, she would probably never have the chance to see her daughter.
She had done something wrong to Yu Chuannan, but the other party had been plotting against her from the beginning to the end.
The other people in the Yu family, especially the old man in front of her, knew everything but never thought of telling her.
At this point, she has done her best for the Yu family.
As for the reputation he mentioned, she no longer cared about it.
She has never lived according to her own wishes in her life.
When she was young, her mother only asked her to please her father in order to gain the emperor's favor.
But what’s the use?
The emperor's favor towards her was like a fleeting dream, which was of no use when something really happened.
She grew up in the deep palace, like a bird trapped in a gorgeous cage, with fine clothes and delicious food, but she could never step out of the line.
She finally met someone she loved deeply, but when her mother found out, her first thought was not to help her, but to immediately make her end her relationship with that person and forbid them to meet again.
Then she asked her father to arrange a marriage for her.
When she knew she was going to leave the capital and marry into the Yu family, her anger and resentment reached a peak.
So before leaving Beijing, she did the craziest thing in her life.
From that moment on, she no longer cared what others thought of her.
As long as she can return to the capital, she will still be a princess of the royal family. Based on her contribution in helping to obtain the account book, the emperor will not treat her unfairly.
Princess Rong'an had thought of everything when she agreed to Ji Yunshu.
Old Master Yu did intend to keep Princess Rong'an tied to the Yu family. With her around, Qi Zheng and others would show some mercy even for the sake of the royal family's reputation.
Unfortunately, Princess Rong'an is too emotional and always does things in a desperate and crazy manner.
Just like now, she exposed her scandal in person, just to completely break away from the Yu family.
After all, Old Master Yu is old, and the shock he received today was great. While he was talking, his body was obviously unable to support itself.
Yu Shiyi was supporting him from the side and could feel his grandfather's body getting heavier and heavier, which made him feel uneasy.
After all, his grandfather was the pillar of the Yu family. If his grandfather was gone, he couldn't imagine what would happen to the Yu family.
Old Master Yu was a very smart man. He knew that Princess Rong'an had no room to turn back, so he stopped talking nonsense.
Instead, he looked up at Qi Zheng and said, "I have a few words to say to you, Lord Marquis, alone."
Qi Zheng didn't understand his intention. In his opinion, things had come to this point, and no matter what Old Master Yu said, the outcome of the Yu family would not change.
So he subconsciously looked at Zhao Shen.
Old Master Yu followed his gaze and looked at Zhao Shen, understanding in his heart: "Zhao...this one should come too."
Zhao Shen nodded.
Everyone who came with them retreated together.
The servants of the Yu family also went down at the old man's order.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu walked out with Princess Rong'an. She asked casually, "Do you know what your old man is going to say?"
Princess Rong'an said bluntly, "What do you mean by 'our old man'? My last name isn't Yu, so how would I know what he said?"
As soon as she said this, Yu Shiyi, who followed behind, couldn't help but say, "Brother is dead, but my Yu family members are still alive. There's no need for sister-in-law to be so anxious to sever ties with the Yu family."
Princess Rong'an raised her chin. "Am I wrong? Since you don't want me to distance myself from you, then you should remember that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Is that how you talk to your mother?"
Yu Shiyi's face turned red and his neck became thick after being choked by her words, but he didn't say anything else in the end.
Turning around, he saw Ji Yunshu watching the show with great interest. He wanted to say something, but he knew that this person was even more difficult to mess with than Princess Rong An.
So he left angrily with the servant.
Today's birthday banquet seemed to be cancelled, and he had to send away the guests and clean up the mess.
Ji Yunshu looked at his back and said, "Although he is young, he seems more reliable than Yu Chuannan. Why is it that the old master is unwilling to train someone else even though he knows that Yu Chuannan has problems?"
Although Yu Chuannan already has a son, as the future head of the family, his character is really a big bomb.
Princess Rong An sneered, "It's not that easy to change the future head of the family. Don't be fooled by Eleven's appearance. The people of the Yu family are not easy to deal with. Although he is not as beastly as Yu Chuannan, how can he be a good person if he sends so many girls to Yu Chuannan?"
Ji Yunshu also remembered that in addition to the corpses, there were also living girls on the flower boat who would be sent to Yu Chuannan's villa.
All of these were handled by Yu Shiyi alone.
Seeing Ji Yunshu fall silent, Princess Rong An continued, "Yu Shiyi and Yu Chuannan are born of the same mother. They are both the eldest sons of the eldest family. Yu Chuannan holds the title of eldest son and was personally raised by the old master. He is actually a very capable person. He took over the power of the Yu family from the old master very early on and sidelined his father."
Ji Yunshu also knew this. It was indeed unreasonable for the old man of the Yu family to bypass his son and hand over the family affairs directly to his grandson.
"But Yu Shiyi was not convinced."
She could see that when Yu Shiyi was talking to Old Master Yu, he was dissatisfied with Yu Chuannan and even went so far as to contradict the old master for this.
Princess Rong An nodded. "He used to only care about studying, but later he realized that even if he became a famous scholar in Jiangnan, his family wouldn't value him any more. And as he learned more and more, this dissatisfaction became increasingly difficult to suppress."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "That's understandable. They're brothers from the same mother, but Yu Chuannan easily has everything he strives for."
"Yes, there are some people in this world who are born with good fortune and can easily obtain things that others can't get, but who can be blamed for this?"
She had also felt resentful and had begged her mother not to let her marry into the Yu family.
But her mother told her that there was no perfect thing in this world. She was born a princess and had enjoyed a life of luxury, so she should stop dreaming about love.
Those words made her despair at the time.
Looking back now, what my mother said was actually right. How can a person have everything go his way?
