A few days later, there was a heavy snowfall.
It was said that a distant relative of Si Chunyan, named Qu Dier, was coming to visit, and she was bringing a child with her.
Xie Yunyin didn't expect that the Li family would eventually lose all their dignity.
Li Yunzheng was in a difficult situation to come back, but he had to get the illegitimate son back first.
The person has arrived, so he comes to invite Xie Yunyin over and says he wants to meet her.
Xie Yunyin nodded and was about to go over.
She was looking forward to seeing Qu Die'er again.
When Lu Jin was walking back after finishing his business, he received an intercepted letter from home.
He smiled after reading it and said, "It's time to go to the Guangyang County Prince's Mansion."
Xie Yunyin arrived at the old lady's place. As soon as she sat down, a servant came to report that Lu Jin had arrived.
Xie Yunyin's face changed slowly, and she thought to herself that the ghost was still there.
The old lady stood up in shock. "Why is he here?"
"Zhang Yin Lu said that there are some matters that need to be discussed in person."
The old lady asked someone to invite them in quickly, and also ordered the servants to call Si Chunyan and others to come and greet them.
He also quietly instructed his personal nanny to let Qu Die'er and Hong Ge'er hide.
Hearing the voices, the old lady came out to greet them with Xie Yunyin.
Lu Jin bowed lightly, "I dare not trouble the old lady to come out in person."
As everyone was expressing their gratitude, Lu Jin stepped over the threshold with his long legs and everyone followed him in.
Lu Jin leaned in the middle seat next to the old lady and let everyone sit down.
Si Chunyan arrived late, sat down quietly and did not dare to answer.
As the head of the family, the old lady was the first to speak and asked, "I wonder why the seal master came here?"
Lu Jin smiled calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then put it down and said, "I found a letter from home. It concerns the Prince's Mansion, so I dared not ask anyone else to do it, so I came here."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Li family members became uneasy and lowered their eyes, no one dared to respond.
Si Chunyan looked at the old lady, but she avoided him. "Excuse me, Master Seal, what family letter is this? Could you please let me take a look first?"
Lu Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "This letter was written by General Xie to the Crown Prince's Consort."
Xie Yunyin said nothing and looked at Lu Jin. Could it be that his father and brother found out that Li Yunzheng was not dead?
Could it be that Lu Jin already knew that Li Yunzheng had faked his death?
The old lady calmed down a little. "Thank you, Master Lu, for bringing the letter home personally. I have no way to repay you."
"Ayin, why don't you come and receive the letter from home and thank the seal holder for his kindness?"
Lu Jin took out the letter and placed it in front of the old lady, stopping her: "Wait."
The old lady paused, "What does this mean?"
"This family letter can only be read by you, old lady." Lu Jin smiled and spoke in a riddle.
The old lady didn't want to wait any longer at this moment, and opened the hot letter from home with trembling fingers.
Everyone stared at her with unpredictable expressions.
After reading it, her face turned extremely pale and she was about to throw the letter into the charcoal brazier.
Lu Jin said, "I was worried that the old lady would need to keep it safe, so I had someone copy it before I came."
The old lady looked extremely bad, and she glared at Xie Yunyin secretly.
She smiled awkwardly and asked, "I don't know what the seal holder's requirements are, but you can tell me."
The fact that the letter confirming Li Yunzheng's life was not presented to the emperor proved that there was still room for negotiation.
"Hmm..." Lu Jin pretended not to say anything and glanced at everyone, as if he found it difficult to speak.
The old lady understood, and she glanced at the others and ordered, "All of you leave. I want to talk to Master Lu alone."
Everyone should retreat, not daring to speak out their guesses, and just wait in the side hall, tormented.
About half an hour later, someone came and said that Lu Jin had left.
Moreover, the old lady only asked Xie Yunyin to come.
Xie Yunyin came and there was no one else around.
The old lady's face was full of sorrow and anger.
"Grandma, what's the matter?" Xie Yunyin took the initiative to speak.
"If you hadn't asked your father to find Zheng'er's whereabouts, Lu Jin wouldn't have known that Zheng'er was still alive. It was you who brought disaster to the Prince's Mansion, and you have to be responsible." The old lady blurted out.
As expected, the most powerful person in this palace is the old lady - Wang.
What a villain who complains first!
But when Lu Jin came, he threw the dirty water on her.
"According to you, he faked his own death to desert, leaving me behind and not returning, so he's not wrong? You hid the fact that he faked his own death from me, so it's my fault? May I ask, from beginning to end, what exactly did I do wrong? You don't have to put the blame on me!"
If Xie Yunyin were to live her life again, she would rather not be a coward.
She questioned back.
"Ayin, it's a good thing that Zheng'er is alive, don't you think? Now, we all prosper and suffer together. Things have come to this point. We must accept the reality and solve it as soon as possible, right? Now, we have to find a way to bring him back as soon as possible so that you and your wife can be reunited, right?" The old lady paused, then changed her tone.
Xie Yunyin sneered and didn't respond.
"Now that Master Lu has promised not to report the matter to the emperor, the Prince's Mansion will be safe. Then Zheng'er can come back, which is a good thing." The old lady took every step carefully and finally got to the point.
Xie Yunyin sneered and asked, "Let's not talk about what you promised Lu Jin. Let me ask you, as a general who has received a death pension, what excuse can he use to come back, and how can he come back?"
The old lady actually stood up. She slowly walked towards Xie Yunyin and whispered, "They said it was a mistake. They said Zheng'er was seriously injured and was rescued by the local people. Now that he has recovered from his injuries, we know that the funeral has already been held."
"We are of the same mind. Zheng'er will return home safely and inherit the title of Prince smoothly, and you will be the Princess of the County in the future." The old lady said what she had thought of long ago.
That's a really good plan.
Xie Yunyin remained silent, and the old lady suddenly fell to her knees.
She actually said it shamelessly: "Ayin, that Lu Jin has taken a fancy to your beauty. Grandmother begs you to accompany him for a cup of tea when he needs you. He is a eunuch, that's all. Ayin...Grandmother kowtows to you, for the Prince's Mansion, for the lives of everyone in the Prince's Mansion, Grandmother begs you."
Xie Yunyin's face was pale, and her heart felt like it was being cut by a slow knife, one cut after another, so painful that she couldn't breathe.
She looked at Old Lady Wang in disbelief. How could she say such words so shamelessly?
She was in despair, and every word she spoke trembled. "I called you Grandmother. For so many years, I respected and honored you. I never thought you would turn against me and sell me to a eunuch. Are you forcing me to die?"
"Ayin, grandma begs you. Just treat me, an old thing, as shameless and unworthy of being a human being! The Prince's Mansion has been here for a hundred years, the Li family has been here for a hundred years, and it can't be destroyed in my hands. You can't just watch hundreds of us die at the hands of the Zhaoding Division, right? I've lived for sixty years, I'm afraid of death, I've been a widow for thirty years, but I've also devoted myself to the Prince's Mansion! As long as you agree, the title of Princess of the County can only be yours. From now on, you have the final say in everything at the Prince's Mansion, and I, an old woman, will never say a word again. Ayin..."
As the old lady spoke, she began to cry loudly and was out of breath.
But Xie Yunyin couldn't get rid of the legs being held...
