"Will the emperor really be willing to let Prince Zhuo go?" asked Master Ye.

Shen Yu shook his head, "I don't want to!"

"Then why do you want to follow him? Can't you walk by yourself?" Mrs. Ye asked.

Shen Yu: “……………………” That’s really a good question, but she can’t figure it out.

Madam Ye continued, "You can go anywhere you want as 'Yu Ling', but as 'Shen Yu', you can only go to Zhuo City, where it is bitterly cold and supplies are scarce, and Prince Zhuo is being watched by the Emperor. Do you really like him so much? Do you like him so much that you are willing to suffer with him?"

Yes! Why? ? ? ?

Shen Yu finally realized that what she had agreed to with Lu Yingxing seemed to be a real pitfall!!! Why did she agree to it at that time? Beauty trap?

Mr. Ye nodded frantically, agreeing, "Yes, yes, our business is all over Linyue Country, you can go wherever you want, your father has already arranged it. In addition to Luocheng, Licheng, Yuncheng, and Youcheng have all opened "Yuyifang", and each city has prepared a mansion, oh, except Zhuocheng, there is no one, to put it bluntly, it is starving and cold, we never thought you would go..."

After a while, he said mysteriously, "Yu'er, didn't you say before that you like the beach and want to go to the beach? Let me tell you a secret. Your eldest brother has already bought you a big house with five entrances by the sea in Licheng! Isn't it a surprise?! Hehehe! If you really want to go to Zhuocheng, it's okay. Anyway, it is adjacent to Licheng on one side. Your eldest brother is in Licheng, so he can take care of you immediately if anything happens! Don't be afraid, the Ye family will always be your backing! If you want to be the Princess Zhuo, then do it. If one day you don't want to do it, just go to your brother next door!"

"What are you talking about! Is it so easy to be the Princess of Zhuo?" Madam Ye raised her hand and pinched his arm. "It's hard to say whether Prince Zhuo... can return to Zhuo City alive. Do you think that person... is really willing to let the tiger go back to the mountains?" Although she is a lady of the inner house, Madam Ye is in charge of a huge industry and her information channels are also excellent.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She had never thought before that Shen Yu really liked Zhuo Wang, but now she realized that this was simply playing with her life! !

"No, no! Yu'er, you can't go with him. There might be dangers on the way... So, I'll let your second brother escort you and your sister secretly..." After a pause, he said, "Go to Licheng first and find your eldest brother first. Wait until Prince Zhuo returns to Zhuocheng safely, then you can make plans!" Master Ye on the side also echoed. He felt that the lady's arrangement was excellent.

Shen Yu sat aside, listening to the two elders really start to discuss the matter, her eyes suddenly felt hot, she was suddenly speechless, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Since her parents passed away, she has been wandering aimlessly like a lonely ghost, until she accidentally traveled through a book to this new world and met the Ye family...

From the very beginning, the whole Ye family had been full of endless preference and love for her. The feeling of being deeply loved made her feel at a loss at first, but it also gave rise to a sense of attachment in her heart, making her gradually begin to accept this world and become attached to everyone in the Ye family.

She couldn't help but start to doubt whether her decision to leave Los Angeles and leave them was right or wrong?

"By the way, you said that the emperor wants the Shen family to return your four million taels of dowry. Can you really get it? Does Shen Nian have so much money?" Madam Ye expressed her doubt. Even if the Ye family is the richest family in Linyue Kingdom and is very wealthy, if you ask her to take out four million taels of cash at once... she definitely doesn't have it.

In the west of the city, a prosperous area where nobles live, the price of buying a street-side shop is about 300,000 taels. In other words, Shen Nian must have at least thirteen shops to pay the compensation. Not to mention the Shen family, even their Ye family is not rich enough to buy thirteen shops in the west of the city!!!

Shen Yu put away his emotions and said formally, "Aunt Xu told me that the boss behind the largest underground gambling house in the north of the city, 'Fengyun Gambling House', might be Shen Nian... She is at least 80% sure, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to mention this number." In fact, she mentioned 3.5 million taels at the beginning, and Lu Yingxing added another 500,000 taels to it, hehe.

Hearing the words "Aunt Xu", Mrs. Ye's face instantly became a little strange. Meeting Shen Yu's eyes, her lips moved slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. But after thinking for a moment, she decided to tell him honestly in case of any unexpected changes, so that Yu'er could deal with it in advance.

"Actually... that Aunt Xu, if I'm not mistaken, should be an old friend..."

Ever since Yu'er mentioned last time that she had secretly passed on information, she ordered Nanny Xu to secretly investigate. Although there was no way to find out why that concubine had entered the Shen Mansion, Nanny Xu was always known for her photographic memory. Since she said that she was somewhat familiar with that concubine, it was almost certain.

According to her, that person seemed to have been a little maid in the Su Mansion, who was only responsible for sweeping the courtyard. Her status was not prominent and few people paid attention to her. If she had not been so reckless that she almost bumped into her own young lady, Madam Xu would not have had any impression of her.

At the beginning, Master Su was kind-hearted. Before his family left Luo City, he returned the indentures of the servants one by one and granted everyone their freedom. It seemed that the little maid might be one of them.

Normally, since she had her indentures returned, she was a good citizen, and the money she received from her redundancy was enough for her to live a stable life. Who would have thought that she would become Shen Nian's concubine? What was even more strange was that she entered the mansion just two months after Sister Su passed away.

Aunt Xu lived in the Shen Mansion like an invisible person for six years, until she risked her life to send a message for Yu'er... This made her wonder, why did Aunt Xu enter the Shen Mansion? Was it related to Sister Su? Or was it related to Yu'er?

Shen Yu listened quietly, nodded after a little hesitation, and said, "No wonder... Aunt Xu has always given me a very uncomfortable feeling. I can feel that she has no ill will towards me, and even has good intentions, but why? I have never seen her before... At first I thought that she was afraid that Madam Shen Ji would harm her unborn baby, so she flattered me and sought external help... But since I learned that she was so cruel that she had given herself and all the women in the Shen Mansion a sterilizing drug... I feel that her so-called seeking for protection is a bit far-fetched."

She is distinct from the other two concubines in the Shen Mansion. She is not the kind of person who is keen on vying for favors or beauty, nor is she keen on intrigue. Instead, she is indifferent and peaceful, and does not contend with the world. Perhaps it is this unique and peaceful temperament that makes Shen Nian love her even more.

Especially since she was carrying Shen Nian's only child in the past six years...
