Chapter 475: Finding Evidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Shuangshuang stuck out her tongue and said, “Well, that’s just a wish.”
After a moment, Yu Shuangshuang added, “However, since I have you now, won’t it be easy for me to marry a young talent in the capital?”
Yu Shuang raised her chin when she spoke. She looked spoiled and proud, but it was just the right degree.
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and smiled; she did not comment on the matter. Instead, she tapped her fingers on the table and said in a neutral tone, “My relationship with the Third Prince isn’t what you think. There are many people who want the position of Empress, but not me. The palace is like a cage that can kill a woman’s dreams. Hence, there’s no future between me and Xiao Shici.
I’ll be calling off the engagement.”
Since Chu Ruishi had already acknowledged Yu Junjin and somewhat acknowledged Feng Yili, it would not be long before she would be able to successfully call off the engagement.
Yu Shuangshuang was shocked by those words. However, when she returned to her senses, an expression of admiration could be seen on her face as she said, “Cousin, I really admire the way you think!”
Yu Yunxi glanced at Yu Shuangshuang and knocked the latter’s forehead. “Alright, stop flattering me.”
Yu Shuangshuang covered her forehead and said in a muffled voice, “I’m not flattering you. I was telling the truth. Then, Cousin, since you don’t intend to be with the Third Prince, are you really going to be with the King of Youshan… I mean, the Prince Regent of Tianxia? He already has a wife and a son.”
Yu Shuangshuang looked very troubled when she spoke. In her opinion, Yu Yunxi was very outstanding and deserved better. Feng Yili already had a wife and son, and if Yu Yunxi married him, at most, she would be given equal status with Feng Yili’s Princess Consort. She thought that it was too unfair for Yu
Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi chuckled again when she saw Yu Shuangshuang’s reaction. She said, “Alright, this is not something you should worry about. You’ll know what my relationship with the Prince Regent is like in the future. You should recuperate first.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Cousin. I’ll look after my health,” Yu Shuangshuang said with a nod.
After Yu Shuangshuang left, Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold immediately.
Coincidentally, Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, and Meng Xia returned from the kitchen with food.
Yu Yunxi asked, “Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, what do you think of the three Kang sisters?”
Apart from being in charge of the Revival Hall, Qian Jiao and Qian Mei were also in charge of keeping an eye on the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. As such, they were privy to a lot of matters.
Qian Jiao replied first, “Eldest Princess, the Kang sisters don’t know their place.
Kang Qingrui and Kang Qingxin are ambitious, but they’re not very smart. However, Kang Qingping is not simple.”
Qian Mei nodded in agreement before she said, “That’s right. When the three sisters entered the residence, they were well-behaved and didn’t seem to cause any trouble. After asking around in the residence, almost all of the servants praised them. The residence isn’t small. They were here for just a short time, but they already won so many people’s hearts. Kang Qingping is really not simple.”
Indeed, a kind person could win people’s hearts, but it would take a long time to do so. On the contrary, it was easy and fast for one to make people dislike them. To win people’s hearts in such a short time, one had to do countless small acts.
“To be able to win everyone’s hearts so quickly, she’s both capable and scheming,” Qian Qing said.
After that, Yu Yunxi told Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, and Meng Xia about Yu Shuangshuang’s accident yesterday.
“So the Kang sisters are the culprit?” Meng Xia asked. Then, she muttered, “It’s not surprising if it’s them. In order to attend the banquet, they didn’t hesitate to curry favor with Princess Changlin. It’s not impossible for them to push Miss Shuangshuang into the pond to prevent her from attending the banquet so they had one less competitor.”
“However, this is just our speculation. We need evidence to make them confess,” Yu Yunxi said coldly.
“Eldest Princess, don’t worry. I’ll investigate it immediately. As long as it’s foul play, there’ll definitely be evidence,” Qian Jiao said confidently.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to help you,” Yu Yunxi said. Then, she turned around and called out, “Jiang Ying, come out.”
In the next moment, a tall figure appeared in front of them.
Jiang Ying bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Princess Consort.”
“I heard from the Prince Regent that you’re very good at investigating things.
Investigate this matter with Qian Jiao.”
Before returning to the King of Youshan’s Residence, Feng Yili insisted that Jiang Ying stay by Yu Yunxi’s side to protect her. Since she had him by his side, there was nothing wrong with asking for his help.
Jiang Ying, who had been hiding earlier, also heard the conversation earlier. He quickly nodded and replied, “Yes, Princess Consort.”
Qian Mei thought of something at this moment and said, “The three Kang sisters have already returned. It’s said that they were quite frightened at the banquet tonight. The doctor in the residence has gone to see them.”
Meng Xia said through gritted teeth, “Serves them right! They were brought into the palace by Princess Changlin. Princess Changlin is in prison now, but they’re still able to return safely. They should thank their lucky stars that they’re staying in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.”
Yu Yunxi waved her hand at Qian Jiao and Jiang Ying as she said, “Alright. Both of you go and investigate the matter now. It won’t be too late to deal with them after you find the evidence.”
Qian Jiao and Jiang Ying replied in unison, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”
Then, Qian Jiao looked at Jiang Ying and frowned.
‘The Eldest Princess actually wants me to investigate the matter with this taciturn person. Wouldn’t it be very boring? Forget it, forget it. He’s capable so he should be able to find the evidence quickly. I’ll just have to put up with him.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran had also arrived at the King of Youshan’s Residence. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he began to hum a tune and ran toward Feng Yili’s study. Due to his excitement to share his feelings with Feng Yili, he did not knock and rush into the study. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a half-naked Feng Yili applying medicine to his wound.
Luo Xiuran quickly closed his eyes and muttered, “Ah, I didn’t see anything! No, my eyes aren’t clean anymore. I’ve let Qian Qing down!”
Feng Yili:
Seeing Luo Xiuran’s crazy behavior, Feng Yili gritted his teeth and said, “You better have something important to tell me. Otherwise, I’ll throw you out of the residence.”
Luo Xiuran removed his hands from his eyes and said excitedly, “I came to thank you. Because of your help tonight, Qian Qing decided to accept me!”
If Luo Xiuran had a tail, it would be wagging very fast at this moment..
