One of the diners sighed: "Oh, I just don't know how the prince and the county lord are pitiful that they lost their father at such a young age. How will the gap in their hearts be smoothed in the future?"
Another diner sighed: "What's there to worry about? People have endless wealth and riches, so they don't necessarily need a father. And what is the identity of the eldest princess? The whole world is rushing to be their father. Men, it can be said that they go forward and succeed one after another.”
Zhu Sijia was so entranced that she almost accidentally knocked over the tea set on the table.
Broken jade's sharp eyes and quick hands caught it neatly.
When Zhu Sijia came back to her senses, she saw Suiyu sitting beside him turning the empty tea cup silently, looking unconcerned. She coughed twice and asked him:
"Shame - Eunuch Xiaoyu, what do you think the future of the Crown Prince and the County Lord should be like?"
Zhu Sijia couldn't bear to get rid of Huaijin and Huaiyu's father by force. Although the Marquis of Guangping was a dead man who actually poisoned his wife, he deserved his death, but Huaijin and Huaiyu were still young and might not be able to withstand it. This blow.
When similar things happened in their previous lives, both of them had grown up, at least had a certain ability to bear it, and were no longer ignorant toddlers.
Suiyu was stunned by Zhu Sijia's question. He never thought that Zhu Sijia would ask him his thoughts on these matters.
After all, she is the master, and it is not his place to ask what the master thinks, let alone give him advice. Does it matter what he thinks?
But after thinking deeply, Suiyu still answered her honestly: "I think what the second guest said is right."
Zhu Sijia put her hands on her cheeks and looked at him with interest: "Oh? Please elaborate."
It would be some time before Mrs. Yu and Zhu Siying arrived at Baiweizhai, so she might as well chat with Suiyu to pass the time.
Broken Yu was neither too anxious nor too slow, and there was a hint of respect in her words:
"I heard that Empress Zhaoyi of Changle Palace, who was also the age of the Crown Prince and County Lord, was sent to the North by Prince Yan's Mansion."
Zhu Sijia smiled and nodded: "She will be a year or two older."
Seeing that she was not upset, Suiyu continued: "The empress has no father to teach her since she was a child, but when she returned to Beijing from the north, she was no worse than any other lady. She treated the palace people with courtesy, clear rewards and punishments, and treated everyone equally. Everyone prefers her days in the Sixth House...she is a thousand times better than others."
The more he talked about it, the softer his voice became. His skin was white and translucent, and even if his face was red, it seemed like it was covered with a layer of rouge. He calmed down his breathing and concluded solemnly:
"I don't think it's pity for the prince and the county lord to lose their father. On the contrary, if this matter is not solved, the eldest princess will be in danger, and what they will lose is their biological mother. And it is also unfortunate for people to have such a father with a human face and an animal heart. , like gum decay, it is better to pull it out in time than to suffer long-term pain.”
Speaking of this, the voices of Zhu Siying and Yu rang in the lobby downstairs. Zhu Sijia stopped Suiyu in time and joked:
"Little Eunuch Jade has to say these words to the Queen. When the Queen is happy, she can give you a reward, right?"
Sui Yu lowered her head and answered her in an extremely soft voice: "I can't ask for it."
But Zhu Sijia had already stood up and opened the door.
Suiyu picked up the sword, walked out of the private room as usual, and stood waiting outside the door.
He had also deliberately disguised himself today. Zhu Siying didn't even recognize him and led Yu Shi inward.
The mother and daughter sat down to talk. Suiyu stood outside the door with an unchanging expression. Although he had the intention to look away and observe intently, he still listened to all the conversations of the three people in the room due to his excellent hearing.
Could it be that Zhu Sijia's trouble with Zhou Caiwei was because she wanted to help the Yu family and King Yan reconcile?
Sui Yu's slender brows wrinkled slightly, then relaxed quickly, no, she shouldn't be such a selfish person.
Ms. Yu in the room was shocked and almost frightened out of her mind by Zhu Sijia's words. She stood up and scolded her eldest daughter:
"Cicada, you can't mention such rebellious words in the future."
Zhu Siying was younger and less energetic than Zhu Sijia. She immediately lost her temper and lowered her voice:
"Mother, how long are you going to keep this from me? I already know that my maternal ancestor's family is the Yingchuan Yu family. What is the Yingchuan Yu family most famous for? It's not the creations and jokes of Emperor Wen's time, nor is it the collapse of the Yingchuan family. The sad old stories of scattered stars and high-rise buildings collapsing are just the set of pedantic and old-fashioned family laws and rules that have been abandoned without regret."
When it comes to being old-fashioned, today's Taifu Yu pales in comparison to the Yu family back then.
The Yu family is prosperous and difficult to discipline, so it is particularly harsh on women.
By Eleven Niang's generation, the total number of brothers and sisters in the clan exceeds a hundred. Except for the legitimate daughters in each house who can have their own names, these second daughters and concubines can only be called according to their ranking in the family.
In the first half of her life, she was called Eleven Niang, but in the second half of her life, she was only called "Yushi" instead of having a proper name.
Growing up in such a big family, one's nature is hard to change, so it makes sense that her thoughts would not be easily shaken.
Zhu Sijia pulled Zhu Siying to sit down and said patiently: "Siying, be more patient with mother."
Zhu Siying bit her lip, looking guilty.
Zhu Sijia held Yu's hand: "Mother, I know that you have never accepted your fate. If you had accepted your fate, how could you have fled back then?"
Mr. Yu was slightly moved, but still worried:
"This... the matter of peace and separation is not something I can decide rashly whether I accept my fate or not. My mother is useless, but she is the queen of the guilty minister Yu. If this identity is revealed to the world, just to get a free body, you three sisters and brothers How should people be treated by others?"
"Especially you. You have always been loved by His Majesty. If His Majesty knew this, would the relationship between you still be the same as before?"
Zhu Scarlett calmly answered her: "The first person to know about this is Your Majesty, and the person who asked my daughter to discuss it with you in private is also Your Majesty. You can rest assured about Your Majesty's situation."
Mrs. Yu: "I don't worry about your Majesty's test. Mother has always known that the Holy Spirit's words are the same. But what about you? How are you going to pass this test among the people in the world? How do you know that you will not be criticized by the people in the world? discuss?"
"You three brothers and sisters are just getting over it. You must not lose everything just because I am a so-called free agent."
Zhu Scarlett looked firm: "My daughter has suffered as much infamy as this."
Seeing that he couldn't resist her, Mr. Yu sighed and said, "Okay, if you insist on helping my mother escape, wait for her to return home and report to King Yan first, and ask him to write me a letter of divorce."
Zhu Siying: "Why?"
Yu: "I can't risk the future of the three of you on this matter. If King Yan compromises, it would be best for us to end the matter privately. If he is unwilling, we will do what your sister said."
Zhu Sijia knew that this was the biggest concession that the Yu family could make, and there was nothing wrong with it. Both parties took a step back and agreed to the plan.
That night, Prince Yan's Mansion.
King Yan looked at Mrs. Yu coldly and smiled in disbelief: "You are a cheap concubine, and you are worthy of asking me for a divorce letter?"
Although the woman in front of him still has charm, she is no longer the beautiful woman she was when she was young, and she cannot arouse much excitement and pity from him.
Mrs. Yu: "Ever since Scarlett entered the palace, I have been terrified every time I think about my life experience, for fear of implicating her, or even the entire palace."
