Chen Xinyue explained, "The Eunuch Holding the Pen is second only to the Eunuch Holding the Seal, and is the second in command of the eight eunuchs surrounding the Emperor.
The East Factory is an intelligence organization used by the emperor to supervise officials and investigate illegal activities throughout the world. It has its own independent staff and only obeys the emperor's orders.
When necessary, the East Factory can arrest court officials. Even though they are the emperor's lackeys, they still have considerable power."
Zhao Letong understood, "Then why didn't Eunuch Fang help his family to avenge their own death?"
"The time has not come yet. Above the second-in-command is the eunuch who holds the seal, as well as the emperor. Deputy Governor Fang himself was born a prisoner, so his life in the palace is not easy."
Zhao Letong sighed, "What a wonderful family this has been ruined by Chen Boyang. By the way, how old is your uncle?"
"Twenty-four. He was only fourteen when he entered the palace."
Chen Xinyue couldn't help but feel distressed. If it was a child undergoing the castration, he wouldn't know anything and would be less painful. But the fourteen-year-old child was already sensible and had the hatred of his family being annihilated. Chen Xinyue couldn't bear to think about how much torment and pain he had lived in the past ten years.
Zhao Youping also felt bad, "It was Deputy Governor Fang who took the initiative to find me. He thanked me for committing a crime for the Fang family, seeking justice for his sister, and saving Miss Chen.
Over the years, he has been collecting information about the Chen family's illegal activities and the truth behind the Fang family case. He has kept the evidence, but he has never had the chance to seek revenge."
Princess Yi Yang and Prince Su are two huge mountains that make Eunuch Fang dare not act rashly. It is harder than climbing to the sky for a eunuch to overthrow the prince's mansion.
Chen Xinyue said with relief: "Now I have evidence. My uncle is still alive, which is a good thing. I don't want to wait any longer. I want to go to the Dali Temple to sue Chen Boyang and avenge my mother."
Zhao Youping said, "Think carefully. He is your father after all. Family members should protect each other. If you sue him, you might be convicted."
Chen Xinyue was helpless. This was the tragedy of feudal society, where human rights were not respected.
"I have to sue you, though. My uncle has already sacrificed so much, what's a little reputation worth? At worst, I can just stay single forever. I've never thought about getting married anyway."
In ancient times, if you married these arrogant men, you would be so angry that you would die, or one day you would be unable to bear it anymore and would murder your husband.
Zhao Youping said distressedly: "It's more than that. You are a good girl. Someone will know your goodness. You deserve happiness."
