The third young master, Yu Wenlin, started to protect his own, saying, "Yu Zhizhi, don't even think about bullying my second sister."
Hmph! He changed his tune so quickly. He used to be the original owner's little shadow, following her around all day, calling her "sister" this and "sister" that.
He had caused a lot of trouble in the past, and most of the time the original owner of the body took the blame for him, which led to his reputation getting worse and worse.
Yu Zhizhi looked at him sharply: "Don't worry, I won't bully your second sister."
She emphasized the words "Second Sister".
Yu Wenlin clearly sensed it, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.
Yun Yuqing responded softly, "Okay."
Before long, the two moved to the side hall next door. Yu Zhizhi did not miss the two rows of servants standing in front of the door.
There were about a dozen people, all of them tall and strong.
This is clearly a precaution against her, a fear that she might bully the legitimate daughter.
Have they forgotten that the original owner of this body doesn't know martial arts, yet she could take on more than a dozen people by herself?
That's giving her too much credit.
Yu Zhizhi cut to the chase: "I don't want to play the family feud game, like the real legitimate daughter tearing apart the fake legitimate daughter, or the fake legitimate daughter harming the real legitimate daughter in order to win favor."
“Now that you, the true legitimate daughter, have returned, I, the false legitimate daughter, can withdraw, leave the Prime Minister’s residence, and sever ties with them.”
"But you must tell me honestly about my biological parents."
Yun Yuqing traveled all over the country with her parents from a young age, learning how to do business. Her ability to understand people's hearts is exceptional.
At this moment, she stared at Yu Zhizhi with a scrutinizing gaze, secretly pondering the woman's true intentions.
How do I know if what you're saying is true?
She recalled the description of Yu Zhizhi's character that she had just heard from the Prime Minister's wife. Although the Yu Zhizhi before her was different from the rumors, she still couldn't fully trust her.
Yu Zhizhi seemed to sense Yun Yuqing's doubts. She smiled slightly and said firmly:
"If you still don't believe me, I can write a letter of commitment, promising to completely sever ties with the Prime Minister's office from this day forward, and have it stamped and confirmed by the government. Would that put your mind at ease?"
After a moment of silence, Yun Yuqing nodded in agreement. After all, for a businessman, written evidence is more convincing than verbal promises.
Afterwards, Yun Yuqing arranged for someone to prepare paper and pen, and Yu Zhizhi picked up the pen without hesitation and quickly wrote a letter of commitment.
When Yun Yuqing saw that Yu Zhizhi had actually written the letter of commitment, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At the same time, she began to believe that what Yu Zhizhi said was not false.
"Your biological parents are actually merchants. They own two general stores in the capital and several branches in other prefectures. Although they are not large, they live a comfortable life. As long as you don't cause trouble in the future, you should live a good life."
…………
Doing business is great!
Fortunately, she wasn't an official, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stand the ways of the powerful and wealthy. She would have had to learn a lot of rules and regulations, and she would probably also have to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It would have been difficult for her to freely enter and leave the mansion.
Judging from Yun Yuqing's speech and behavior just now, it can be seen that she has a good upbringing, and it is highly likely that the original owner's biological parents were kind people.
She originally thought that if the original owner's biological parents weren't good people, she would rather sever ties with both sides.
A person relies on themselves to find a way to survive in ancient times.
Now it might be a good time to contact the original owner's family. After all, she was new to ancient times, unfamiliar with the place and penniless. Having family to rely on is better than being alone.
The Prime Minister's family was shocked when they learned that Yu Zhizhi wanted to sever ties with them.
They still found it hard to believe that Yu Zhizhi would give up wealth and status so easily.
There was also some sadness.
But not many!
After all, I have raised her for sixteen years and spoiled her for sixteen years.
On behalf of the original owner, Yu Zhizhi knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Prime Minister and his wife.
This is to express our gratitude to them for raising us over the years.
A resolute glint flashed in Yu Zhizhi's eyes as she said in an icy tone, "If we ever meet again, I will pretend that I have never met anyone from your Prime Minister's residence. I will leave the Prime Minister's residence right now."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Tao who was standing to the side.
Her face was streaked with tears, and she choked out, "Miss, I want to stay by your side forever. Can you take me with you when you leave?"
Her actions stirred a deep sense of emotion in Yu Zhizhi.
"If you leave the Prime Minister's residence with me, your life may be even harder than it is now. Are you still willing?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
Xiao Tao replied firmly, "As long as I can stay by your side, I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue!"
Although the young lady was spoiled, she was never beaten or scolded, and compared to the other servants, she was treated very well.
Especially when her family members were seriously ill, the young lady secretly gave her money so that she could find the best doctor to treat her mother.
She would never forget this kindness. Therefore, no matter what, she would follow her mistress to repay her great kindness.
Yu Zhizhi smiled with relief and decided to take Xiao Tao with her when she left.
After all, she is so loyal, I can trust her to work with her in the future.
She turned to the Prime Minister's wife, who was standing to the side in charge of the indentures of the servants in the mansion, and calmly said:
"Madam Prime Minister, I wish to redeem Xiao Tao from her servitude. I will bring the silver to the manor in two days."
The Prime Minister's wife was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Yun Yuqing.
This is to seek her opinion.
Yun Yuqing readily agreed.
She also values loyalty when employing people. If she insists on keeping this maid in the mansion, since her mind is not on her, her mistress, then what use is she?
Yu Zhizhi looked at Yun Yuqing and said, "Thank you! If we weren't in this kind of relationship, perhaps we could be friends."
After saying that, she gently wiped away the tears from Xiaotao's eyes and comforted her tenderly, "Don't cry, you're too ugly. I'll come back here in a couple of days to redeem you."
Then, Yu Zhizhi resolutely turned and left, walking firmly toward the door.
As she stepped out of the Prime Minister's residence, an inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes, flowing out like a flood.
Perhaps this is the original owner's perception of what they experienced.
Yu Zhizhi prayed silently, hoping that the original owner of this body could be like her, transmigrating to the modern world and taking her place to accompany her family.
Her longing grew stronger, and she thought of her family in the modern world, her heart filled with reluctance and longing.
Finally, she couldn't help but burst into tears, her cries growing increasingly pitiful.
Just then, a mysterious voice suddenly rang out.
Makka Pakka!
The mini winter melon is now available.
Yu Zhizhi blinked in confusion, and for some reason, a cute image popped into her mind.
The voice continued, "Host, I am Little Winter Melon. Congratulations on being selected by the system. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the system in this fictional dynasty, you will receive unexpected rewards!"
Yu Zhizhi immediately stopped crying.
She thought things were going badly from the start, but she never expected a system to appear out of nowhere!
