The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

It's not good to receive an unclear note at this critical moment.

Yu Zhong frowned and opened the note.

I found that it said: Tingjin and her daughter have returned to West Street. Madam Zhao invites Lord Yu to come to her house for a chat. If he does not come, Tingjin's identity will be made public.

Yu Zhong was shocked.

Who is Mrs. Zhao?

Didn't Yu Tingjin and her daughter settle down a hundred miles away from the capital? The people he sent out yesterday followed them quietly all the way and settled in the same inn as them. He also sent someone back on horseback to report the news.

Those people planned to wait until today when the mother and daughter set out from the town again, and then follow them from a distance.

Wait until they contact the old servant, or meet up with him, and then kill them if you find them in a sparsely populated area in the wilderness.

Then kill the old servant.

After hearing the report from his servants, Yu Zhong felt relieved.

He had never directly plotted to take anyone's life before, but this time, the situation was dire and he had no other choice.

But what happened...

He took a huge risk to do this, but there was a note saying that Yu Tingjin and her daughter were back?

Yu Zhong quickly sent someone to verify whether anyone was at Yu Su's house on West Street. He also questioned the stalker who had returned with the news the previous night.

Two quarters of an hour later.

He is already in Yu Su's house.

Because a confidant reported that Mrs. Ji San was indeed sitting in the yard, basking in the sun.

"who are you?"

Looking at the young woman sitting opposite Yu Su, Yu Zhong felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Master Yu, we meet again. It was you who personally ordered me to be released from slavery that day, allowing me to leave the Yu Mansion and become an upright citizen. You are a noble man who forgets things and has forgotten such a small favor, but I still remember it. From a slave to a commoner, I will never forget your kindness."

The other person smiled and continued, "Of course, I can't forget it either. It was me who spoke up for justice and said a few words on behalf of Concubine Zhao, confirming that she had indeed been abused by Yu Shuren. That's how I was able to gain Concubine Zhao's support. Therefore, I will always remember Concubine Zhao's kindness and how precious my own conscience is."

Yu Zhong suddenly remembered.

This woman was the maid who testified that Yu Tingjin had pushed her off the cliff when Fei Wan came home to visit her parents and complained in public about Yu Tingjin bullying her!

"So it's you. Are you married? How is your husband's family? Where is the head of the family employed? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. We are master and servant, and I can make the decision for you."

Yu Zhong had a kind expression.

But I began to feel suspicious.

How come this maid appears here?

Could Yu Su's return be related to her... or Concubine Zhao?

Lan'er sat there without moving. Yu Zhong talked to her about the relationship between master and servant, but she didn't even show the slightest intention of standing up to greet him. Instead, she acted like a master summoning a servant.

"Master Yu, I am indeed married. However, if there are any difficulties, it is better to ask you or the Imperial Concubine for the decision. What do you think?"

Her marriage was merely a casual marriage, a search for a subordinate. They weren't actually husband and wife; her "husband" was still her subordinate. Living alone was difficult for women in this world, and many things were difficult to do, so it was just a pretense.

But there is no need to explain this in detail to Yu Zhong.

She smiled at Yu Zhong and said, "Mrs. Ji San has returned, and her daughter has also returned and is still asleep in the room. The Imperial Concubine is very worried when she learns about this incident at home. This scandal in her family has a great impact on the Imperial Concubine's reputation. My Lord, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Only then did Yu Zhong finally understand.

The mother and daughter of the Yu Su family were brought back by Fei Wan!

Fei Wan was actually threatening him!
