The maidservant acknowledged and withdrew.
Zheng Yu looked at He Yi and said in a deep voice, "Yi'er, I'll keep an eye on things here. Go back to the Princess's residence and see what's going on. Remember, no matter what happens, stay calm. If it's really difficult to handle, have a maid come back and tell me immediately, and we'll discuss it together."
He Yi could only nod and turn to walk away. She knew that from this moment on, she could no longer be that little girl hiding under her brother's wing. She had to be strong and, together with her brother, support this family that was already in turmoil.
[Another incident at the Princess's residence? This plot is too fast!]
[Wasn't Granny Feng supposed to be setting the rules? How could something still happen?]
Will the Lin family take advantage of the chaos to harm He Yi? Everyone, protect the villainous female supporting character!
Looking forward to the next chapter! Hopefully, Minister Zheng can pull through!
Upon learning that He Yi was leaving, Zheng Yu hurriedly came out of the house to see her off. "Yi'er, I'll be here with Father. Mr. Sun will be here soon. Don't worry, hurry back to the Princess's residence."
"I...I understand." It wasn't like that. She only wanted to live a carefree life in this alternate dimension, but little did she know that all sorts of hardships would come her way. Looking at Zheng Yu now, she saw that his expression was perfectly normal.
Despite his young age, this was the first time he had encountered such a severe storm in his life. The two looked at each other in dismay. Although he had given those instructions many times, Zheng Yu still said again, "If you have any difficulties, send someone back to report immediately. Do not act rashly on your own."
He Yi nodded emphatically. She knew that from the moment her father started coughing up blood, the Zheng He Yi who had lived a life of ease and privilege was no more. Now she was the one and only Princess Yong'an, a daughter that Minister Zheng could be proud of.
She! She must hold up half the sky in the storm.
The villainous female supporting character has grown up! And her brother is so reliable!
[Please, nothing bad must happen at the Princess's residence.]
The carriage sped along, and Zheng Heyi, inside, was restless and agitated. She kept looking up at the high sky, feeling extremely distressed, hoping that her father would recover soon.
Now, misfortunes are piling up. Her father is in a coma, and Lin Shi is colluding with Sanlang to transfer assets. Now, the Princess's mansion is facing another sudden change. What is she to do?
He Yi had just arrived at the Princess's residence and hadn't even entered the gate when she heard a deafening commotion in the front courtyard. He Yi hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked inside, only to see a large group of servants surrounding the tranquil inner courtyard, with Granny Feng standing in the middle, her hands on her hips, her face as red as a pig's liver.
Across from them, a middle-aged couple was gesturing wildly, spitting as they spoke. The woman was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, wearing a slightly worn jacket. She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes that weren't particularly flashy but were very focused, and those eyes darted around among the faces of everyone in the courtyard.
At that moment, the woman was shouting at the top of her lungs.
"My daughter, whom I carried for ten months and gave birth to, now that she's a princess, she doesn't recognize her parents? Where is justice?!"
Ten months of pregnancy? Where is the justice? Hearing this, Zheng Heyi was stunned. She came to this world by accident and had never investigated the mystery of her origins.
All she knew was that when she was nine years old, she went to the open sea with her father, and the family encountered a shipwreck. She fell into the sea and was saved by her fisherman father. Later, she eventually arrived in the capital.
As for the appearance of the fisherman couple and their character, Zheng Heyi had long forgotten them completely. Now, these two uninvited guests had arrived.
At first, He Yi thought the two people were the couple who had rescued and taken care of her in the small fishing village. However, now that she heard them say that, they were actually her mother and father.
It's really strange, why did they come here out of the blue? He Yi frowned, but still chose to get out of the car. In any case, Zheng He Yi had no intention of running away at all.
Beside them was a shifty-eyed man, as thin as a reed, with hunched shoulders and a sleazy appearance. His small, rat-like eyes darted around at the servants opposite him.
The man seemed less formidable than the woman; during their arguments, he would subconsciously hide behind the fierce woman from time to time.
[Holy crap! These two look like they're trying to scam someone! That woman's eyes are so shrewd!]
[The man is as skinny as a monkey, how does he resemble a member of the Heyi family? Their genes don't even match!]
Granny Feng is unleashing her full power! She'll quickly shut these two scoundrels up!
[Where's Qingju? Let her go up there and tear those two scumbags apart!]
Upon seeing He Yi arrive, Granny Feng felt reassured. She calmly stepped forward and said, "How dare you! The princess is of noble birth, bestowed by the Emperor and Empress Dowager. How could you, a country bumpkin, possibly claim such a title? What about her biological parents? If you dare to spout nonsense here again, I will report you to the authorities!"
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately changed her tune. She cried out "Oh dear!" and sat down abruptly, sobbing as she said to the man beside her, "My dear husband, what should we do? We came to the Princess's mansion to enjoy a life of luxury, but now these disreputable servants and maids are trying to turn away the Princess's parents. It's outrageous!"
The man raised his eyebrows and glared at Granny Feng and the others, then snorted coldly. The woman was crying terribly, looking as if she had lost her parents.
"What are you doing?" He Yi roared, unable to bear it any longer, and rushed in.
The woman jumped up from the ground and, with a forced smile, tried to get closer to He Yi.
"Oh my! Isn't this my Bao Bai's daughter, Yi'er? Look at her face, her figure, just like me! Just like me!" She reached out to pull Yi'er up. "Yi'er, your mother has gone through so much hardship, traveling all over the country, and now I've finally found you!"
Zheng Heyi stared at the two men. After the woman finished her performance, the man quickly took over. The man walked towards Zheng Heyi and said, "Poor child, pitiful. Back then, our family was poor, so we... sigh, it's all heartbreaking to talk about. Now that we've heard that you've made something of yourself, Heyi, your parents have come to rely on you! Quickly tell these servants to get out of here and tell them that we are your biological parents."
The man quickly nodded and bowed in agreement, echoing, "Yes, yes, yes! Princess, you mustn't forget your roots! Our Zheng family is counting on you! Hehehe, hehehe." Zheng Heyi glanced at the two of them.
From a genetic perspective, these two have absolutely no relation to her. Both of them have single eyelids, but Zheng Heyi has double eyelids. They look petty and selfish.
But Zheng Heyi was different. After a quick observation, Heyi quietly stepped back, avoiding the woman's outstretched hand.
Immediately afterwards, He Yi took another close look at the two of them. Because they were very close, He Yi noticed that the woman had a layer of black mud under her fingernails and that her teeth were stained yellow with tea when she spoke.
The man had patches on his shoulders, and his eyes were shifty and lewd; he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
