Shen Yu was looking at the account books of recent business. When he heard footsteps, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Su Wei, the third uncle of the Su family, laughed coldly, "It is indeed me who wanted to make this trip. Didn't your prince ask me to come and take you home in person?"

Shen Yu looked at him strangely. He had just received a letter from him in the morning, asking him to take his time and play.

Su Wei smiled and said nothing. His niece was really slow in this regard. Could he believe what the man said?

Shen Yu rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart. Why would he look at such a naive girl like that?

Without waiting for her to speak, Guyu flew in and whispered a few words into Shen Yu's ear. Then the master and servant left in a hurry.

Wu Zhong and the others looked at each other and it seemed that something had happened.

As Shen Yu entered the front yard, a dark shadow rushed towards her, "Princess! Your people said they found..."

As soon as he approached, he was pushed away by Cangyu. Yun Mo, with a pale face, covered his chest and stared at Ye Li.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the crazy man, and finally set her eyes on the strange man behind him. Her intuition told her that this man was more dangerous.

"Greetings, Princess Zhuo." The man took the initiative to step forward and confessed his identity, "My name is Yun Gang, and I am the steward of Prince Yun."

Ever since Yun Mo was recognized as part of the Yun family, in order to remind everyone of his identity as the King of Beirong, these people took the lead in respectfully addressing him as King Yun. At that time, several heads of the Yun family who had returned to the position of deputy commander outside the Great Wall automatically retreated to different positions, such as housekeeper, staff, commander of the guards, etc. The second head of the Yun family at that time was none other than Yun Wei today.

Shen Yu nodded. She recognized the name when she heard it. Lu Yingxing had told her in detail about the situation outside the Great Wall. He had always been King Yun's think tank.

She looked at Yun Mo, whose eyes were bloodshot, and felt very sympathetic in her heart. Anyone who was suddenly told that his wife, whom he had always thought was safe and sound in the rear, had actually died of illness and his daughter had been sold to that kind of place would be able to remain calm.

"That's right!" She nodded, but she still wanted to let him know the truth. "According to our investigation, your wife and daughter were sent away in the third year since you became a Beirong..."

She tried to retell the incident using milder alternative words, but it was a very cruel thing to do to anyone.

"Why should I believe you?" Yun Mo panted heavily and stared at Shen Yu fiercely.

The eyes of the people behind him also began to sharpen, except for the man named Yun Gang who did not say a word. However, from his expression, one could tell that he was not calm at the moment.

Except for Prince Yun's wife and daughter, the families of all these people are missing. The Yun family said that they had been sent to Luocheng and Jiangnan for resettlement a long time ago and were living a stable life, but there was no address, no letters, and no news. Could it be that the so-called resettlement was just a matter of the Yun family's words?

"We in Prince Zhuo's Mansion are not the Yun family. We would not attack the elderly, the weak, women and children." Shen Yu looked at them calmly and stated a fact.

The corners of Yun Gang's eyes twitched violently, and he took a breath, "Princess, please tell me, were the female relatives who disappeared with Madam Yun also... sent to the same place?" He uttered the last few words with gritted teeth, like an enraged beast trying hard to resist the urge to bite its prey.

Although they knew that the person he wanted to bite was not Shen Yu, Cangyu and Guyu still stood in front of her cautiously.

It was not until this moment that they realized that this person's martial arts skills might not be as bad as he showed...

Shen Yu glanced at these middle-aged men with sympathy. They had dark skin and their long wandering life outside the Great Wall made them look older than their actual age.

She hesitated for a moment and nodded. "As far as I know, they were raised together before, but about half a year after the battle, their numbers began to decrease. As for where they were sent..."

Shen Yu shook his head. "It was pure luck that I was able to find the wife and daughter of Prince Yun, because I just arrived in Zhuocheng and by chance I acquired the 'Drunk Red Tower'. Now it is my property, so I can check the origins and information of everyone... As for the families of the other few, I'm sorry, I don't have the channels to check..."

She was telling the truth. If such a secret of Youcheng could be easily discovered by Prince Zhuo's Mansion, it could only mean that Prince You's Mansion was not far from being destroyed.

Shen Yu really couldn't understand the Yun family's actions. Her husband and father were fighting for the family outside the Great Wall, but those people turned around and sent the wives of these soldiers to that kind of place to be abused...Are they sure that Yun Mo and the others will not come back?"

Several people from Beirong were shocked by this answer. One of the older gentlemen fainted. Fortunately, the servants of Prince Zhuo's mansion reacted quickly. Someone sent him to the guest room, and someone went outside to call a doctor.

Yun Mo stared at the ground blankly and spoke with difficulty, "Princess... my wife's... "

Shen Yu guessed what he was going to say and comforted him, "Don't worry, Prince Yun, your wife has been properly buried outside Zhuocheng...your daughter..."

She reasoned over all the causes and consequences in her mind, and after making sure it had nothing to do with Prince Zhuo's Mansion, she said, "Your daughter is also very strong. After she was sent to Zhuo City, she lived in the building for a few years. Later, when business was not good, she followed her predecessors to learn to sing opera. By the time my people took over, she was already a drama master... Now she is the most popular actress in my "Celebration Class". Don't worry, we are all serious businessmen and don't do that kind of thing... Do you want to recognize her?"

Shen Yu felt that he had to make things clear to him. They did not force her to be here. In fact, if his daughter had not been sent to Zhuocheng, she might not have been able to hold on until Hongniang took over.

From this point of view, she was at least lucky, at least her name was still there... As for the family members of the others, she thought they were in great danger.

"Princess Zhuo..." Yun Gang's tone was filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Shen Yu shook his head apologetically. Seeing his expression turn gloomy, he didn't know how to comfort him. "Have you found relevant information here? If I can help, you can tell me."

Notice that she never referred to herself as "the princess" from beginning to end. She was trying her best to take their feelings into consideration... Yun Gang also had a good impression of this Princess Zhuo. A master who was soft-hearted was always better than their kindhearted ones.

"We all used to live in the same area. All the branches of the Yun family lived in that area. According to the memories of nearby residents, about ten years ago, many families moved away at the same time. It was said that the husbands of those people were hired by the Jiangnan Cao Gang, so they moved to Jiangnan together... Then they disappeared and never appeared again."

Shen Yu frowned, "Jiangnan Cao Gang?" She really didn't know this.

"Are you sure it's the Cao Gang? As far as I know, they don't engage in...that kind of business."
