Chapter 691 You Are Also a Victim
Ji Yunshu nodded: "That's the daughter she had with her lover. Although she hasn't raised her for so many years, if she could take her to her side, she would definitely make it up to Zhenzhu."
Madam Ye nodded and said, "That puts my mind at ease. In a few years, Zhenzhu will be old enough to get married. How can she find a good family if she stays with me? Princess, take her back now and teach her well for a few years. She will become a qualified noble lady and can find a good family."
Ji Yunshu sighed, "Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them. Madam is truly thinking about Zhenzhu."
Madam Ye said, "She's doing well. I've been so unfair to her. I've been hiding with her all these years. Now that everything has settled, she can return to her mother. I just hope everything goes well for her in the future."
"You have nothing to be sorry for her. It was you who saved her life."
Ji Yunshu knew that Madam Ye always felt that her son had taken Ye Zhenzhu's place, but in fact, if it were not for giving the child she gave birth to a legitimate identity, Yu Chuannan might not have allowed Princess Rong'an to give birth to Zhenzhu at all.
How could a man like Yu Chuannan be willing to support his wife and the daughter born to someone else?
Madam Ye shook her head: "After all, I have hidden selfish motives. Over the years, I have had many opportunities to tell the princess the truth. She will definitely be able to protect the pearl, but I didn't tell her."
"Everyone has selfish desires, so it's understandable that you did this. Now that Yu Chuannan is dead, you can live a good life from now on."
Madam Ye stood up and bowed solemnly to Ji Yunshu, asking, "I want to redress my father's injustice. Madam, please give me some advice."
Ji Yunshu then remembered that Madam Ye's father had been framed by the Yu family. Now was the time to settle accounts with the Yu family. This matter would not be difficult to handle as long as there was evidence.
"The Yu family's affairs are currently being handled by the Hangzhou prefect and Marquis Jingning. You can go to the yamen or find Marquis Jingning. Lord Cai's daughter was also killed by Yu Chuannan. You can just go to the yamen and report the case."
Madam Ye's expression suddenly changed. "I heard that Magistrate Cai's daughter died of a sudden illness two years ago. It turns out that she..."
The incident at Yu Chuan's South Villa is still under wraps, and ordinary people currently have no idea what insane things he has done.
However, this matter should not be concealed for long. Even if the old man uses his trump card to buy a way out for the Yu family, Zhao Shen will not give them a chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, the government will definitely make public what Yu Chuannan did.
Ji Yunshu simply told Madam Ye what had happened.
Madam Ye's face instantly lost all color: "How could this happen? He...he wasn't like this before."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what Yu Chuannan was like before, but looking at Madam Ye's expression, she knew what he was thinking: "Madam Ye, don't think too much. He did something wrong on his own, it has nothing to do with you."
Madam Ye shook her head. "Although he did evil things in the past, he was no different from other powerful people. He was cautious and would never take anyone's life. It was because I hurt him there that he couldn't be a man anymore that he became like that."
Ji Yunshu knew that what she said made sense. After all, after learning that Miss Cai was the daughter of the Hangzhou prefect, the first person she thought of was Madam Ye.
But this is not fair to Madam Ye.
"Whether you're there or not, he's going to do something evil. You're also a victim, so you should fight back."
Madam Ye was swaying, tears rolling down her cheeks. "When I found out the truth, I was filled with hatred, so I took advantage of his unpreparedness and hurt him. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed him directly. I should have killed him then..."
At the end of her speech, she couldn't help but choke up.
She always felt that meeting Yu Chuannan was her fate, that she was unlucky and had a miserable life.
Because of this, her family was broken up and she had to hide from place to place, living a life of displacement for more than ten years.
But now, compared with those innocent women who died in the other courtyard, what was her suffering over the past ten years?
In those years, there was not even a chance to complain.
Ji Yunshu looked at her somewhat collapsed appearance and felt a little bit sorry for her. Bad people do bad things without restraint, but people with conscience always like to blame themselves.
Madam Ye was no stranger to experience, so she quickly came to her senses, said goodbye to Ji Yunshu and left.
When she returned home, she called Ye Zhenzhu over and told her that Princess Rong'an was her biological mother.
When Ye Zhenzhu heard that the princess wanted to take her back, she shook her head and said, "No matter what the reason is, a daughter is raised by her mother, and you are her only mother."
She didn't want to leave. Princesses and the like were too far away from her life.
She had met the other person once and he seemed aloof and difficult to talk to.
Madam Ye was very pleased with her reaction, but she still said, "You were raised by my mother, but you were also born to the princess. It was Young Master Yu who swapped my child with yours, and the princess didn't know about it. If she knew, she would have taken you back long ago."
Ye Zhenzhu cried and threw herself into Ye Niangzi's arms: "I don't want to leave mother."
Madam Ye couldn't help but shed tears. She hugged the child tightly and comforted her, "Mother doesn't want to leave you, but you are old. Going back with the princess will give you a good future."
Ye Zhenzhu shook her head and cried uncontrollably: "I don't want a good future, I just want my mother."
Madam Ye patted her back gently and coaxed her: "What nonsense are you talking about? I will be happy only if you live a good life in the future. Otherwise, I will feel that I have delayed you. The princess is a very good person. You are her only daughter. She will treat you well."
Ye Zhenzhu didn't say anything, just cried and shook her head.
Madam Ye was helpless, but she knew that the princess could not be delayed, so she sent a letter to Princess Rong'an that night, hoping that she would give herself and Zhenzhu some time to adapt.
Princess Rong'an also knew that it was not an easy thing for a little girl of ten to suddenly leave the person who raised her.
So she agreed to Madam Ye.
At this moment, she is also dealing with her own affairs.
The evidence was conclusive, and the confiscation of the Yu family was a foregone conclusion, but her dowry was not included in the confiscation, as she had someone counted it according to the list long ago.
She was reading the letter and felt a little sad knowing that her daughter was reluctant to leave with her when someone walked in hurriedly.
The maid's voice followed behind him: "Master, please wait for me to pass on the message."
But how could a ten-year-old child wait? He almost ran in, and his breathing was unstable when he stopped.
Looking at the woman sitting by the window reading a letter, the person he had called mother for more than ten years.
I asked anxiously, "What they said isn't true, right? I'm your child, right?"
Princess Rong'an looked at his face which was exactly the same as Yu Chuannan's, and found that she had no emotion in her heart.
It was this child who took his daughter's place, but he was also innocent.
And over the past ten years, she has indeed raised him as her own child.
Seeing the anxiety on the child's face, she sighed and waved to him, "Come here."
