Chapter 275 Contrast



Yu Jin's questioning made Mrs. Zhu even more angry.

How could she know why her son hasn't come back yet? Her eldest daughter-in-law went to burn incense and caused such a big trouble. She is still confused.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu couldn't answer, Yu Jin didn't intend to make things difficult for her and occasionally touched Erniu's head.

Mrs. Zhu lowered her gaze to the big dog sitting next to Yu Jin.

Sitting like this with a dog half the height of a man gave people a frightening sense of oppression.

Noticing Mrs. Zhu's gaze, Erniu turned his head silently.

It's so annoying. Why did the owner bring it here? There is no mistress and no meat or bones.

Mrs. Zhu's expression twisted for a moment.

Was she dazzled? She actually saw full of disgust in the dog's eyes.

Mrs. Zhu's dissatisfaction with Yu Jin immediately deepened: I've never seen anyone bring a dog with him when investigating a case!

She had always entertained distinguished guests in her flower hall, and would never have anything to do with idle and vulgar people. But now a dog was allowed to enter the house openly, and Mrs. Zhu felt very upset.

A maid in green came over quickly: "Madam, the master is back."

Soon, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a middle-aged man walked into the room. Chong Yujin clasped his fists and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Majesty."

Yu Jin smiled and said, "It's okay."

Zhu Shaoqing looked at Madam Zhu and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Madam Zhu said, "Today, Ziyu accompanied Jiang to Baiyun Temple to burn incense. Who knew that not long ago, the prince brought officials from Shuntian Prefecture to say that the fourth daughter of the Jiang family had sued our family. I still don't know what happened."

Zhu Shaoqing looked at Yu Jin: "Prince——"

Yu Jin rubbed Erniu's head and said with a smile, "Let's wait until the victim arrives before we discuss this in detail."

Zhu Shaoqing's mouth twitched, and he laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, please tell me the situation, so that I won't be confused."

Yu Jin smiled and shook his head, looking mysterious.

He would not say anything before meeting Ah Si, otherwise what would happen if he couldn't cooperate well?

As for fairness and justice, haha, that doesn't exist. Is he the kind of person who helps others but not his relatives?

Zhu Shaoqing was completely at a loss.

The prince was unwilling to speak, and he couldn't pry open his mouth.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, but Yu Jinyun didn't care and continued to stroke the big dog.

Seeing the dog hair scattered all over the floor, Mrs. Zhu wanted to call the maid to clean it up several times, but she resisted the urge.

Finally, the maid came in to report that Zhu Ziyu and others had returned home, and Zhu Shaoqing and his wife could not wait to go out to greet them.

At this moment, Yu Jin became hesitant. He quietly brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes, then he straightened his back and walked out.

Several people walked over from a distance, and Yu Jin saw the girl with the frosty mask at a glance.

Well, it seems that every time I see her, she always looks so bitter and resentful. How can a little girl have so many worries?

Yu Jin felt distressed for a moment, and when he saw Jiang Ancheng following Jiang Si, his expression froze instantly.

What’s going on? Why is Asi’s father here too?

He, he is not ready at all!

Originally, Yu Jin had successfully disguised himself as a good boy from an ordinary family, independent, self-reliant, and helpful in front of Jiang Ancheng, and could visit the Dongping Marquis's mansion at any time. Now if his identity is suddenly exposed, what if his future father-in-law cannot accept it?

Thinking of this, Yu Jin panicked, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Zhu Shaoqing walked over quickly. Although he was surprised by Jiang Ancheng's appearance, he was still able to keep his composure and said with a smile, "My father-in-law is here too."

Jiang Ancheng snorted coldly: "If you don't come, my daughter might be killed. You have to come."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Shaoqing glanced at Zhu Ziyu quickly and saw a helpless and heavy face.

"Let your son speak." Jiang Ancheng said unhappily, his dissatisfaction with his eldest son-in-law reaching its peak.

The eldest daughter had always told him that she and her husband lived in harmony, but she never expected that her husband's family would even cause someone to kill someone. What was the point of having a husband like this?

Jiang Ancheng was complaining in his mind when he caught sight of Yu Jian and was stunned.

Why is Xiaoyu here?

After a brief thought, Jiang Ancheng understood: Yes, Xiao Yu was working under Brother Zhen. Since Si'er sent A Man to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the authorities, it was natural for Xiao Yu to lead the yamen runners to Zhu's house.

After taking one look at his little daughter and then at Xiao Yu, whom he loved from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Ancheng suddenly felt that this trip was really the right one.

Who knows, the two children might like each other, and then he can rest assured.

Jiang Ancheng was not worried about Xiaoyu. If the man didn't like Si'er's appearance and character, he would be blind. It would be better not to have such a blind person.

He was worried about his daughter. She didn't even like the newly crowned scholar. If things continued like this, wouldn't she have to stay at home for the rest of her life? Although it was a blessing to have a daughter by his side, he was afraid that she would regret it when she got older.

Yu Jin's scalp tingled at Jiang Ancheng's look, but luckily Zhu Ziyu spoke up at this time and told the story. Finally, he said, "It's hard to say how the needle got stuck into the horse's butt. I shouldn't have troubled Shuntianfu..."

"Why not?" Jiang Ancheng sneered, "Aunt, I hear you are defending the driver. Could it be that Yi'er's safety is not as important to you as the driver's?"

Zhu Ziyu was so confused that he said hurriedly, "Father-in-law, you misunderstood. I just think that family shame should not be made public. As for whoever wants to harm Yi Niang, of course we must find him out and deal with him appropriately."

Yu Jin coughed heavily and said, "There is no need to discuss whether or not to ask the government to intervene. Since we have already reported the matter to the government, let the driver come over for questioning."

Jiang Ancheng immediately felt that Xiao Yu, whom he hadn't seen for many days, was more pleasing to his eyes. He was much better than his hateful eldest son-in-law. Just as he was about to say hello to Yu Jin, he saw the other party winking at him.

Jiang Ancheng was stunned at first, but soon realized: he couldn't let the people in the Zhu family know that he was familiar with Xiao Yu, otherwise he would be criticized.

Master Jiang, who was aware of his quick reaction, nodded imperceptibly to Yu Jin, signaling him to rest assured.

Yu Jin put his mind at ease for the time being.

Well, I have fooled Asi's father for now, but I still have to deal with Zhu Shaoqing.

"Wang——" As soon as Zhu Shaoqing opened his mouth, he received a look from Yu Jindi.

The boy has delicate features, especially his sparkling eyes. The look he gives me is like a flirt.

Zhu Shaoqing forgot to say the word "ye" after "ye" and suddenly started coughing.

After he calmed down, Zhu Shaoqing suddenly had an idea: It seems that Dongping Bo does not know the identity of the King of Yan, so why should he tell it? With Dongping Bo's temper, he will offend the King of Yan in just a few words, which will naturally be beneficial to the Zhu family.

Zhu Shaoqing changed his words and said, "I forgot to introduce you to my father-in-law. This person is a subordinate of Master Zhen of Shuntian Prefecture. He came here to handle this matter."

Jiang Ancheng hummed unhappily.

Having resolved the crisis of identity exposure with just two glances, Yu Jin secretly glanced at Jiang Si.
