The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Jiang Jiaoyun also put down her wine glass and drank three mouthfuls of strong liquor. A faint blush appeared on her face.

“I never imagined that one day when I was thoroughly investigating government affairs, I would also find my grandfather.”

Jiang Jiaoyun threw the testimony she was carrying and the imperial edict that His Majesty had just written in front of her maternal grandfather.

Jiang Jiaoyun: "I don't understand. The Yun family is already wealthy and prestigious enough, so why would they do something like this?"

Yun Song knew what she was talking about with just one glance.

He didn't read all the testimonies; he just flipped through them a few times and then closed the document.

This scene pierced Jiang Jiaoyun's heart.

On her way back, she repeatedly tried to exonerate her grandfather in her heart.

This matter may have been done by some collateral branches of the Yun family, and the maternal grandfather himself was unaware of it.

But everything that just happened was left unsaid.

Jiang Jiaoyun: "You knew everything from beginning to end, you knew what they did, you knew how many people lost their families and were living a life worse than death because of them?!"

This was the first time in Jiang Jiaoyun's life that she had such an emotional outburst, pointing her finger at her grandfather and questioning him.

"Do you even know what those beasts have done? Are you that desperate for money? Is the Yun family that desperate for money?"

Looking at the child he had watched grow up, Yun Song recalled some adorable scenes from Jiang Jiaoyun's childhood.

The little dumpling who used to follow him around and want him to carry her has grown up now.

He can stand on his own, or he can point his finger at him and yell at him.

Yun Song: "It wasn't like this back then. I had my own reasons. Now that you've found out, take me away."

Yun Song sighed deeply, stood up, and held the testimony and His Majesty's edict in his hands.

Jiang Jiaoyun hadn't expected this scene; she had thought her grandfather would argue with her.

Without even arguing, he confessed.

"Why? What difficulties do you have that make you do this?"

Yun Song was prepared for whatever the outcome might be, whether he was sentenced or exiled.

But when he saw Jiang Jiaoyun becoming emotional and bursting into tears in front of him...

His heart, which had been as firm as a rock after years of navigating the ups and downs of officialdom, still wavered.

Yun Song: "I have nothing to say. You don't need to know my predicament back then. With His Majesty and His Highness backing you up, even if the Yun family were to fall, it probably wouldn't implicate you."

Jiang Jiaoyun didn't understand; she came specifically to get an explanation.

Instead of rushing to take her maternal grandfather away, she turned to look at the elders of the Yun family sitting at the table.

She hopes that anyone can come and give her an explanation.

But these people would rather stand up and walk with their grandfather than offer a single explanation.

Jiang Jiaoyun instantly realized what was happening, grabbed her grandfather's sleeve, and shook it repeatedly.

"You're taking the blame for someone else! Who is it? Tell me who that person is!"

Yun Song removed Jiang Jiaoyun's hand and looked at her as she spoke each word clearly:

"Actually, I should have stopped long ago, but I couldn't bear to, which led to this huge mistake. The person who made me take the blame is long dead."

"I should have woken up sooner. I ruined the Yun family and delayed your life."

As Yun Song said this, tears welled up in his clear eyes.

Jiang Jiaoyun was speechless. She had gone through the case countless times in her mind, and there were only a few people she could think of who could be blamed.

If this is true, His Majesty will certainly not let them off the hook.

"Good boy, take me away. I confess my guilt and I will accept the punishment."

As Yun Song spoke, looking at Jiang Jiaoyun's still-childish face, he couldn't help but say:

"The officialdom is treacherous; you shouldn't have come here today."

But it's obvious that this must have been her own request; this child has always been like this.

We will never give up until we achieve our goal, even if the road is full of thorns and cuts that will leave us bloodied and bruised. We will still forge a path through them.

Looking at the table full of elders, Jiang Jiaoyun suddenly seemed deflated.

He sat down directly.

"Let's eat first, then you can leave."

She had traveled a long and tiring journey back, and her food did indeed resemble the Yun family's dishes.

We'll never be able to eat it again.

"Eat up, everyone eat up."

Jiang Jiaoyun pointed to the dishes on the table and picked up a piece with her chopsticks first.

She ate with her head down, letting her tears fall into her food.

She didn't leave the Yun family until the meal was finished.

Liang Chongyue had been watching the live broadcast the whole time, and when she saw the tears in Jiang Jiaoyun's eyes, she kicked the sleeping system next to her.

Liang Chongyue: "Go and investigate whether this matter has anything to do with the Xiang family."

The system was half asleep when it looked up and saw that the screen was frozen on the moment Jiang Jiaoyun shed tears.

He instantly understood what the host meant.

The system wasn't sure if this matter was related to the Xiang family, and didn't dare to say anything at this time, so it could only silently investigate on its own.

Liang Chongyue's expression was not good until the system's results came out.

Liang Chongyue couldn't think of anyone else who could make the Yun family confess like this.

It's no wonder she made such a guess about the Xiang family; they've done a lot of inhumane things over the years.

The system has finally finished its check and can finally breathe a sigh of relief:

"It's not the Xiang family. Well, although there are some connections to businesses involved, there's no wealthy family in Beijing that isn't involved in this."

The system presented the report it had just retrieved to its host.

Liang Chongyue laughed in anger after reading it.

It seems that the Yun family has relied on these tricks, deceptions, and swindles to maintain their relationships in the capital over the years.

Why pretend to be wronged?

Liang Chongyue: "Whose sympathy are they trying to garner?"

Is it Jiang Jiaoyun's?

Based on Liang Chongyue's understanding of Jiang Jiaoyun, Jiang Jiaoyun would definitely continue her investigation if these people put on such a pitiful and aggrieved act.

After Jiang Jiaoyun investigated these things, she calculated how many heads Yun Song had that would be enough to make her feel disgusted.

"I don't know, maybe I just like to act."

The system indicated that it had seen through people's hearts, especially these older men who had spent many years navigating the ups and downs of officialdom.

System: "Jiang Jiaoyun is still young. She has a place in the hearts of the host and Minglang. If Jiang Jiaoyun hadn't returned so suddenly this time, and if the news had leaked beforehand, they might have already found a scapegoat. Wouldn't this pitiful look have been useful then?"

These are all old tricks used by the old folks in Beijing.

The system has seen a lot over the years by its side.

System: "These people should be sent to brothels so they can personally experience the evil they've committed."

Liang Chongyue didn't interrupt the system while it was speaking.

As she looked at the system, she felt that the system, having been by her side for so long, was starting to resemble her younger self in its speech and actions.
