The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Yun Gang shook his head, "I don't know. It's been so long since the incident happened. All the people related to us are gone. It's like they have completely disappeared."

Not only their family members and friends, but even the Yun family's branch that lived nearby at the time were replaced by a new group of people.

Shen Yu pondered for a while. Her relationship with Ye Muan was not a secret. It was probably because Yun Mo and the others had been out of seclusion for too long that she didn't receive the news.

"I have acquaintances in the Yun family in Jiangnan. As far as I know, they only do legitimate business. Although there is no evidence now, it is unlikely that they were sent to live in Jiangnan... But I will help you verify it as soon as possible. There is another strange thing. You said that a new batch of people were replaced? But you have been out of seclusion for at most twelve years, not a generation. I am very curious, does your Yun family really have so many side branches?"

In fact, she had a guess in her mind, but she just couldn't understand the meaning of the Yun family's actions.

Yun Mo listened to their discussion calmly, his mind full of what the princess had said.

I always thought my wife and daughter were living a good life in the rear, but I never expected to receive news that they had such a tragic end.

I heard in the morning that they had been sent to that kind of place... Thinking of the torture that his wife and daughter might have suffered, he was so sad that he almost wanted to take people to kill their way into the Yun Mansion and die together with those hypocrites. It was Yun Gang who hugged him tightly and calmed him down.

Now that she knew her daughter was alive and well under the care of Princess Zhuo, it was a blessing in disguise... Compared to her other brothers, her daughter was always safe. She gradually regained her senses, and finally understood the meaning of Shen Yu's words.

"Is there a possibility... that they are using the same method we used to fill the population of the branch?"

Yun Gang looked up in disbelief, remembering what they did when they first arrived in Beirong… He closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them, “You mean?”

Yun Mo spoke with difficulty, "Just like we did in the past..." A sudden cold gaze made him stop talking.

"Hahahaha! It's retribution! It's really retribution! Hahahaha" Yun Gang suddenly laughed like crazy and couldn't stop.

The remaining few people obviously understood what he said, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

Shen Yu sighed softly. Isn't this retribution? But no matter what, the most pitiful people are still those innocent women.

It is said that when these people first infiltrated the remnant of the Beirong army, they first killed the remaining able-bodied men, and then quickly locked up the Beirong women... The purpose was to allow them to give birth to Beirong babies with the blood of the Yun family as soon as possible.

When they treated Beirong women as mere reproductive tools, did they ever think that their wives and daughters in Youcheng were also experiencing the same thing?

Shen Yu had suspected before, where did the Yun family get so many branches? She was blinded by her own eyes. A normal marriage relationship was of course impossible, but what if they only wanted offspring?

She could no longer express sympathy and felt endless disgust towards the entire Yun family.

Shen Yu looked down at Yun Gang, who was already lying on the ground crying in pain. She said in a cold voice, "I have already done what I promised you. I just hope you can keep your promise."

Yun Mo nodded, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He could certainly feel the change in Shen Yu's attitude. He had never thought that there was anything wrong with the Yun family's practice of expanding their bloodline... But now that their identities had reversed and those women who were forced to become pregnant became their wives and daughters, they suddenly hated this practice.

It’s true, just like if you don’t get pricked by a needle, you will never know what pain is.

"Don't worry, Princess. We will find evidence of the Queen Mother's collusion with the Yun family as soon as possible... My daughter..."

Shen Yu nodded, "I hope you can keep your word. As for your daughter, don't worry. She is the mainstay of the troupe, so we will not treat her unfairly! Please go back!"

As for the women who were so-called "sent to Jiangnan", she didn't want to ask about it anymore. Their fate was probably the same as everyone imagined. As for Yun Mo's wife and daughter who were sent away alone, it seemed more like a malicious revenge...

Shen Yu guessed that it was probably because they resisted too fiercely that they were sent to that place, but it was hard to say which of the two endings was more miserable...

There is no such thing as empathy in the world. If it doesn't happen to them, they will never be able to truly understand the feeling of despair... If you are not in their position, you don't know how they feel; if you are not in their experience, you don't know the pain.

Looking at Princess Zhuo's leaving back, Yun Mo sighed with regret, fearing that she would never welcome them again.

For the next few days, Shen Yu and his group stayed indoors, and Xue Yunyun never came, so they prepared to go home.

"I heard that the princess in charge of the post station has been in a bad mood these days... It seems that she has no time to take care of you. Let's choose an auspicious day to welcome you into the palace to be a concubine..." Concubine Yun stroked the teacup gently with a charming and elegant smile. These words were not for discussion, but simply for notification.

Zhao Ru, who was sitting aside, lowered her eyes and said nothing. Has she fallen to the point where she could be easily dismissed?

"My Lady Concubine, if Ru'er wants a higher position, what do you want in exchange?" Her deal with Princess Zhuo has ended, and the rest can only depend on herself.

Concubine Yun was obviously very satisfied with her, "You are really smart!"

Zhao Ru's smile was sincere and innocent. "To be honest with you, Princess, I have never thought of marrying anyone other than Master Feiqi... I just boldly guessed that if I could be more useful, I might be of greater help to the Concubine. But an ordinary concubine who cannot leave the house at will obviously does not meet this requirement..."

Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows, played with the jade hairpin in her hand and looked at her for a long time. After a long time, she raised her hand and inserted it into her bun, and said casually, "This concubine likes smart people, but not those who are smart... If you insist on entering the mansion, this concubine will not stop you, but people need to fight for their own status. You are now alone and have nothing, not to mention that you were originally just the daughter of a prefect... Tell me, why should this concubine help you?"

Zhao Ru nodded, "I understand. Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will show you my value."

She admitted that she did look down on Xue Yunyun, but the fact was, no matter how useless she was, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Xue family. If she had no family background, why would Master Feiqi set up a trap for her?

But fortunately, she now has the source of information from Prince Zhuo's Mansion. What's important is not Xue Yunyun, but that she has the prerequisite to contact the Queen Mother...

In the early years, the Yun family needed the help of the Queen Mother, but what do they need most urgently now?

The current situation in Youcheng is very unfavorable to the Yun family. Zhao Ru knows clearly that Shen Yu sent her here with bad intentions, but so what?

Both parties just wanted what they wanted, but Princess Zhuo needed her to find evidence of the Queen Mother's contact with the Shen family? After thinking about it, she was afraid that what the princess needed was not "finding"...
