Suddenly, Yunyi looked up casually and saw something that shocked her.
At this moment, the favorability query interface was stuck on Yinzhi's name, and what was even more surprising was that Sakda's favorability rating for Yinzhi was as high as 90%.
The maximum score for favorability is 100 points. Reaching 90 points is already a very high level of favorability, almost reaching the point of true love.
Yunyi had seen it before; Yinzhi's wife only gave him a perfect score, while this Sakda clanswoman was now Yinzhen's concubine, yet she was full of love for Yinzhi. No one would believe there was anything fishy going on.
With this discovery, Yunyi checked the favorability ratings of everyone she knew and found many things she hadn't noticed before.
For example, her eldest nephew is quite popular, and many girls like him, even the young princess in the mansion admires him.
Honghui is the same. As the eldest son of Prince Yong's mansion and the future heir apparent, he has quite a few admirers.
However, the most important discovery was the relationship between Sakda and Yinzhi, such a strange combination that aroused suspicion.
Although it is understandable that in ancient times, when arranged marriages were common, it was not surprising that Emperor Kangxi would assign Lady Sakda to a prince she did not like.
However, according to Yunyi's understanding, this Sakda clan member had taken the initiative to enter the backyard of Prince Yong's mansion.
If she truly loved Yinzhi, she should have taken the initiative towards the Eighth Prince, not Yinzhen.
Furthermore, if she were mistakenly assigned to someone she didn't like, her normal reaction would be sadness and disappointment, and she would show dislike or rejection towards Yinzhen.
However, Sakda's aggressive behavior in vying for favor since entering the household is completely different from her true feelings, and the implications of this are intriguing.
Noticing Sakda's unusual behavior and discovering the strangeness in her relationship with Yinzhi, Yunyi's investigation now had a target, unlike before when she found nothing.
Only after careful investigation was the connection between Sakda and Yinzhi finally discovered.
This is a very melodramatic story of a hero saving a damsel in distress. Although Sakda was the legitimate daughter of the family, her mother died early and her father married a second wife, which put her in an awkward position in the family.
Moreover, her mother did not give her any siblings, so she was all alone and had no one to help her, and her life at home was not very good.
That year, Sakda, along with her stepmother and her stepsister, went to a temple outside the city to offer incense. Since it was late, they stayed overnight at the temple.
Unexpectedly, they encountered bandits from the mountains who came to rob the temple. The stepmother was only concerned with protecting her own daughter, so she naturally did not protect the eldest daughter born to the first wife as closely.
Sakda was beautiful from a young age and stood out among the crowd. That's how she caught the eye of the bandit leader, who wanted to take her back to the village.
The stepmother was anxious. Although she had some reservations about this eldest daughter, they were still her own daughters. If Sakda kidnapped the bandits, the reputation of all the girls in the family would be ruined...
In desperation, the stepmother could no longer hide her identity and could only reveal that she was a female relative of a fourth-rank official, hoping to use this to deter the robbers.
But what kind of good people would turn to banditry? These robbers have done all sorts of things, why would they be afraid of a fourth-rank official? Hearing this, they were not afraid at all, but rather became even more excited.
At a command, the robbers began to act, intending to capture everyone inside, plunder their valuables, and then abduct all the women.
At the critical moment, Yinzhi happened to be passing by the temple on a mission and saved Sakda from being kidnapped by bandits.
After being rescued, Sakda was grateful and developed a strong liking for the handsome man. After a chance encounter, she became even more infatuated with him.
Afterwards, Lady Sakda frequently corresponded with Yinzhi, and their feelings for each other deepened. However, due to the presence of the Eighth Prince's Consort, Lady Guoluo, Lady Sakda was unable to enter Yinzhi's inner courtyard to be with the person she loved.
It's unclear when Yinzhi came up with this idea, but he brainwashed Lady Sakda, making her willingly enter someone else's inner circle to do things for him.
It's pitiful that this lovestruck young girl still doesn't know whether the person she admires truly loves her.
As expected of the famous Eighth Prince, Yinzhi was truly skilled at winning people's hearts. He did these things quietly, so that no one knew about his relationship with the Sakda clan.
Yun Yi was able to investigate all of this thanks to the system, otherwise she would never have known about these deeply hidden things.
Having learned of Sakda's ill intentions, Yunyi certainly wouldn't let her engage in underhanded tactics to harm Yinzhen, thereby emboldening the Eighth Prince.
This is where the Loyalty Talisman comes in. By using the Loyalty Talisman, the Sakda clan can be turned into one of their own. Then, there will be no fear of the Eighth Prince. Instead, they can use the same tactics against him and let him taste the bitterness of betrayal.
Yinzhi was quite patient. He only asked Sakda to do her best to win his favor and secure her position in the household before asking her to do anything else.
Whether Yinzhen sensed something or simply disliked Sakda, although this woman had used her schemes to successfully enter his household, he was subsequently neglected and rarely visited her.
However, perhaps because Lady Wang was relatively well-behaved, she was still favored by Yinzhen and was on par with Lady Xitala and Lady Niohuru.
Yunyi ignored Sakda for the time being, only giving her some small gifts to take and use.
The selection process has ended, and Yunyi and Yinzhen have chosen their son-in-law.
The eldest princess's husband is the eldest grandson of Consort Yi's elder brother. This young man is the eldest grandson of the Guo Luo Luo family, the future head of the family. He is always steady and mature, and is a good boy.
This was a candidate provided by Yinzhen; he was his cousin's son, a junior whom he had watched grow up.
For Yinzhen, marrying his cousin to his niece was a perfect match, as one was handsome and the other virtuous and gentle.
Yinzhen had also examined this young man and found him to be a good candidate, just as his ninth brother had said. He also examined other candidates, but in the end, Yinzhen chose the one recommended by his younger brother.
After learning about the candidate from the Fujin, Lady Song was very satisfied. Consort Yi was very favored in the palace, and the Guo Luoluo family outside the palace was also trusted by the Emperor.
Song was naturally happy to be able to establish a relationship with Consort Yi's maternal grand-nephew. Moreover, this young master Guo Luoluo was the eldest grandson of the family, and if her daughter married him, she would become a member of the imperial clan and wield considerable power. With the support of Prince Yong's mansion, her daughter would not be bullied.
