Luo Xiuran wore an indecipherable expression on his face when he heard Feng Yili’s words.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan exchanged a look as well, feeling awkward.
‘The Prince Regent is becoming more and more shameless…’
Meanwhile, Feng Yili did not give Yu Yunxi a chance to refuse at all. He turned around and said coldly to everyone, “Not only is she an esteemed guest of the imperial family, the County Princess of Xinan, but she’s also the mistress of the Prince Regent’s Residence. Even when the Crown Prince sees her, he has to respectfully address her as Ninth Imperial Aunt. Who gave you the courage to make things difficult for her?”
“Prince Regent, no matter what, Yu Yunxi is still… this subord… is still my granddaughter. She…”
Old Master Yu was not convinced. He wanted to use his identity as Yu Yunxi’s grandfather to speak.
Contrary to Old Master Yu’s expectations, Feng Yili said directly, “Old Master
Yu, it’s inappropriate for you to use your seniority as an elder in this situation. Moreover, didn’t the Yu family disown her previously?”
Old Master Yu’s face turned purple and red when he heard these words. In short, he looked extremely ugly at this moment.
At this moment, Yu Wanrong complained indignantly, “B-but Your Royal
Highness, my sister wants to forcefully occupy my courtyard!”
This matter was undoubtedly Yu Yunxi’s fault. Yu Wanrong did not believe that Feng Yili would side with Yu Yunxi regardless of right or wrong.
Feng Yili frowned and asked seriously, “Why did you snatch her courtyard?”
Yu Wanrong and the others mistook the serious expression on Feng Yili’s face as him being unhappy with Yu Yunxi so they were delighted.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yili continued to say, “Isn’t the Prince Regent’s Residence very good( You deigned to live in such a dilapidated place and even have to snatch such a shabby courtyard from another person…
Yu Yunxi was speechless. After a brief moment, she raised her eyebrow and asked, “What are you trying to say, Your Royal Highness?”
“Come back to the Prince Regent’s Residence with me,” Feng Yili replied honestly.
After a beat, Yu Yunxi said lightly, “No, Your Royal Highness. It’s quite good for me to stay in the Yu Residence.”
The people from the Yu family could only suppress their anger. They finally understood that there was no way Feng Yili would punish Yu Yunxi. They really could not understand Yu Yunxi’s appeal. Back then, she was forced to marry him due to certain circumstances. However, now that he had gotten better, why would he continue to let her occupy the position of Princess Regent? At this moment, a guard walked over and said respectfully, “County Princess, we’ve removed everything.”
“Alright, move my things inside,” Yu Yunxi said. After that, she turned around and smiled at Old Man Yu before she said, “Grandfather, it might be hard on you these few days. You’ll have to see me every day.”
The corners of Old Man Yu’s lips twitched in anger when he heard these words.
Feng Yili watched as Yu Yunxi’s guards moved her things into the courtyard. It seemed like she was determined to stay in the Yu Residence and was not willing to return to the Prince Regent’s Residence with him. In any case, it was already good enough that she was staying in the capital. After all, she always spoke about returning to Xinan.
It seemed like Feng Yili’s bottom line was getting lower and lower as time passed. As long as Yu Yunxi did not leave the capital, everything could be discussed.
Yu Wanrong and the others looked at each other. Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do to Yu Yunxi now. In the end, they could only leave.
In Madam Chen’s room.
“Mother, will I still be able to use my hand?” Yu Wanrong cried as she let the doctor look at her hand.
“Didn’t you say that Grandfather would be able to deal with Yu Yunxi when he returned? Why did we still suffer a loss?”
Madam Chen’s expression was also very bad, but in order to comfort Yu Wanrong, she said gently, “Don’t worry. As long as the Chen family is around and as long as your third brother is a general, that little b*tch won’t be able to stay arrogant forever.”
The doctor lowered his head in fear and trepidation, trying to lower his sense of existence. After examining Yu Wanrong’s wrist, he braced himself before he said, “Madam, Second Miss’ wrist will heal, but, but, there might be sequelae.
In the future, it might be difficult for her to… to play the zither…”
“What?!”
Yu Wanrong shrieked when she heard this. Her face was already ruined, and she was only left with her talents. Now, she could not even play the zither.
“The Yu family spent so much to hire you, but you can’t even treat such an injury?” Madam Chen scolded, venting her anger on the doctor.
The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a troubled expression, “Madam, I’m really helpless. Why don’t you get the imperial doctors to have a look? Perhaps they’ll be able to do something.”
Upon hearing these words, Yu Wanrong and Madam Chen’s faces twisted into unsightly expressions.
If it was the Yu Residence of the past, it would be easy for them to enter the palace to consult the imperial doctors. However, now, they could not even enter the palace.
Madam Chen’s heart ached for her daughter. She said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Wanrong. When your third brother returns, I’ll tell him to enter the palace to invite the imperial doctors over.”
After that, Madam Chen turned to the doctor and said snappily, “Hurry up and stop the pain for Second Miss.”
With that, the doctor hurried over to decoct the medicine for Yu Wanrong.
“Wanrong, wait here. I’ll check if your third brother has returned,” Madam Chen said before she left.
Now that she was alone, Yu Wanrong felt that the pain was even more excruciating than before. She could only lie on the bed and rely on her anger toward Yu Yunxi to hold on. After some time, she finally heard the door open. She assumed that it was a maidservant sending the medicine to her so she scolded loudly, “I’m going to die from the pain, but you only come now! I’ll kill you when my hand recovers!”
Unexpectedly, when Yu Wanrong looked up, she saw a black-clad figure. Before she could scream, she was knocked unconscious.
An hour later in the Prince Regent’s Residence.
Yu Wanrong screamed and jolted awake when a bucket of cold water was splashed on her. She questioned in a shrill voice, “Who is it?”
However, when she saw Feng Yili, sitting down and looking at her, fear began to rise in her heart. She asked weakly, “Prince Regent, w-what are you doing?”
She looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar place.
‘Is this… Is this the Prince Regent’s Residence?’
“Why do you think I brought you to the Prince Regent’s Residence?” Feng Yili asked in a voice devoid of warmth.
Yu Wanrong’s heart sank. However, she quickly regained her composure. She looked up and smiled before she asked, “I wonder if the Prince Regent can give me a hint?”
Feng Yili’s voice dropped below freezing temperature as he asked, “I’ll ask you one last time. What exactly happened in the imperial mausoleum five vears
Yu Wanrong’s smile faded a little.
‘As expected, he’s asking about the imperial mausoleum again. Does he really want to know about what Yu Yunxi did back then?’
After a moment, she raised her head and said loudly, “Back then, my sister ran away, and I saved you, Your Royal Highness.”
She was determined to stick to her story.
“Jiang Ying, punish her,” Feng Yili said in disgust. His patience had run out.
Yu Wanrong panicked when she saw Jiang Ying striding toward her.. She quickly said, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
