The warmth from her palm flowed into her heart, making Yun Zhourong feel much better. She looked at Ji Minxiu, gently squeezed his hand, and said, "I'm fine. It was just a bit of an accident. Now I feel relieved."
It turns out that she wasn't born annoying; it was because he wasn't her biological father.
However, as she thought of this, she suddenly thought of the emperor.
If she is the eldest princess, then the emperor would be her biological father, which...
Looking into her eyes, Ji Minxiu knew what she was thinking and nodded slightly at Zhou Renjun.
Zhou Renjun immediately understood and said coldly to his subordinates, "According to the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty, anyone who sells wives and children without permission shall be sentenced to three years in prison. Yun Hongshen, you are still a criminal. With both crimes combined, you shall be sentenced to death!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Hongshen's eyes widened in terror, and he immediately knelt on the ground, begging repeatedly, "I don't want to die, I can't die, second brother, mother, please save me..."
Seeing Yun Hongshen's miserable state, the Yun family members felt a pang of pity, but after looking at Yun Zhourong, they all turned their heads away.
Yun Hongcheng turned his back and said in a deep voice, "You deserve to suffer for your sins once. This is your retribution. Don't worry, we will collect your body after you die."
"No, no, I don't want to die..."
"Take him away!"
Seeing the Yun family's attitude, Zhou Renjun was quite pleased and immediately ordered Yun Hongshen to be taken away.
"Grandmother, Father..." At this moment, Yun Zhourong stepped forward, looking at Old Madam Yun and Yun Hongcheng with hesitant expressions.
After all, the two of them liked her so much before, at least because of their blood relation, but now she is no longer a member of the Yun family.
She was genuinely worried that Yun Hongshen's conviction would upset them.
“Silly child, the eldest son is completely rotten. Now that your father is the headmaster of the academy, keeping him around will only be a hidden danger. Letting him atone for his sins as soon as possible is also a way to help him accumulate good karma.”
Seeing Yun Zhourong's concerns, Old Madam Yun took the initiative to hold her hand and said kindly, "Grandmother has already made a mistake once before, and will not be confused again this time."
"Grandmother, you are so kind!" Yun Zhourong's eyes welled up with tears, and she threw herself into the arms of the old lady Yun.
"Silly child, it's alright. No matter your status, you will always be our beloved child," said the kind old lady Yun.
“That’s right, as long as you’re willing, this will always be your home,” Yun Hongcheng and Zhao Shi said.
"You will always be my sister!" Yun Mingyuan quickly added.
"Yes, in my heart you will always be my family." Yun Zhourong nodded, her voice choked with emotion, her heart filled with warmth.
Having these family members is the greatest happiness of her life.
Once everyone had calmed down, Zhou Renjun said, "Your Highness, what are your plans next?"
Yun Zhourong was still a little uncomfortable with this title and said somewhat shyly, "Godfather, please call me Ruan Ruan. As for my identity, I... I think it's fine here. The palace is full of dangers and intrigues, and there is no freedom. I... I don't really want to go back."
“However, if you don’t restore your identity, the warrant for your arrest may not be lifted, and it will be very inconvenient for you to move around in the future,” Zhou Renjun said hesitantly.
"You don't need to worry about that. Since Ruan Ruan doesn't want to go back, I will transform the entire Qiongzhou into a place where she can move freely."
At this moment, Ji Minxiu's eyes flashed with a resolute sharpness, and his body exuded a powerful aura that was awe-inspiring.
In that instant, Zhou Renjun felt as if he were seeing a king, and felt a deep sense of awe from the bottom of his heart.
"In that case, we can rest assured."
Everyone present knew and had no doubt about Ji Minxiu's strength.
“In that case, Zhao Xuanheng is my elder brother,” Yun Zhourong suddenly said.
“That’s right. Moreover, the Crown Prince’s birth mother, Consort Xian, was your mother’s most trusted confidante back then. If the Crown Prince knew that you were still alive, he would be very happy,” Zhou Renjun said.
"Okay, then I'll go see...see my elder brother in a few days," Yun Zhourong said with some anticipation.
Now that she knows Zhao Xuanheng is her biological brother, her feelings have changed.
“Okay, he misses you a lot.” Zhou Renjun nodded with a smile.
After saying that, Zhou Renjun took his leave.
Only the Yun family and Ji Minxiu remained at home. Normally, the whole family would be riding Rongrong at this time.
But now that Yun Zhourong has suddenly acquired the identity of a princess, everyone has become somewhat reserved.
“Grandmother, Father, Mother, I hope you can still treat me the same way you used to. I... I don’t want to go back to the palace.”
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she stood up, curtsied, and pulled Ji Minxiu back to their room.
The change in status is difficult for both parties to adjust to, and they need space to calm down.
"What are your thoughts on my identity?" Yun Zhourong asked Ji Minxiu after returning to her room.
The response was silence.
Looking down, one could see that Ji Minxiu's brows were furrowed, as if he was deep in thought.
"Minxiu, what happened?" Yun Zhourong asked, sitting down beside him.
"Ah...I...I was thinking about something..."
Ji Minxiu then seemed to wake up from a dream. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Ruanruan, you know that I come from the future. I have read history books about the Dasheng Dynasty, but I have never heard of the existence of a princess like you."
"I don't exist?"
Yun Zhourong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Does that mean my choice has always been the same, and I haven't returned to the palace to acknowledge my family?"
