An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Xu Zize paused, a look of pain in his eyes, and continued, "Prince Hong originally had two sons, Ling'er's biological eldest and second brothers, but both died young, all due to the second wife's fault."

When Jing Chunxi heard this, she gasped. No wonder she saw that the Princess looked unwell that morning. She seemed to have dark circles under her eyes. If she hadn't been supported by a maid, she might have been on the verge of collapse.

The little smile he showed to them was probably forced.

Jing Chunxi felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. The Second House's intentions were truly vicious. They wanted to make the First House extinct. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the First House's people, but at the same time, she was indignant at the Second House's behavior.

Xu Zize continued, "Ling'er's third uncle. The second branch originally had him kidnapped and taken out to the wilderness, intending to kill him and bury him, but he was clever enough to escape. Finally, they hired an assassin to hunt him down."

He sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "But Third Uncle is very lucky and has a long life. General Jing saved him."

Xu Zize's words made Jing Chunxi stunned for a moment. Why did he go to his home?

"Ah! It was my eldest uncle who saved me? Is my third uncle my master? He really is my master!" Jing Chunxi realized it belatedly, but finally realized the truth.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she suddenly understood so much. No wonder she felt so familiar the moment she saw the King of Yin, even thinking he looked like someone close to her. No wonder she and Ling'er connected so instantly; perhaps Ling'er also had a blood connection to her master. And the princess's eyes were so similar, like a miniature version of her master's.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Why am I so stupid?"

Jing Chunxi grabbed his hair and asked angrily, "Brother Xiaokang, you knew this a long time ago, right? That's why you came to see King Yin this time, right?"

She recalled the strange expression on Xu Zize's face when he first met his master during dinner that day, as well as the conversation that was clearly targeted. Thinking about it now, those details seemed so obvious.

Seeing Xu Zize nodding to him affirmatively, indicating that he had long guessed his master's identity and had long known that his master was the third son of King Yin, Jing Chunxi really felt that he was a little stupid and was too late to realize it.

"Why is the second house so vicious? Is it just to inherit the title? But why did they do that? Killing all the descendants of the first and third houses? Aren't they afraid of being exposed?" Jing Chunxi asked in confusion. She really couldn't understand why the second house would do such a cruel thing as killing each other.

Xu Zize shook his head, sighed, and then said, "The Second Branch is naturally after titles and property, but Brother Xiaokang, Prince Jing, Prince Hong, and their colleagues have carefully analyzed the entire incident over the past few days. They feel that this matter is definitely not that simple. The Second Branch alone wouldn't have the guts to do this. There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it, and someone must have promised the Second Branch something."

Jing Chunxi had no rebuttal. Her thoughts immediately turned to the person above her. She secretly sighed, thinking that being a royal relative wasn't easy, lacking even the right to raise a son or grandson. She couldn't help but feel sad for Prince Jing's mansion, yet also indignant at the Second House's behavior.

"Is it that the King of Yin and that bastard Emperor aren't getting along?" Jing Chunxi's words were indeed met with another admiring glance from Xu Zize. Seeing Xu Zize's gaze, she felt a little proud, yet also a little uneasy. She knew her words were a bit bold, but she couldn't help but want to ask for clarification.

Xu Zize nodded and said, "Back then, Grandfather Jing refused to come forward and read out the oral decree of his succession. Grandfather Wang didn't give him face at the time, saying that he couldn't do anything unless he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears."

Jing Chunxi admired Prince Jing's integrity, but at the same time he was indignant. He angrily said to Xu Zize, "He stole the throne, why doesn't Prince Yan take it back?"

After saying this, she looked at Xu Zize with a guilty look on her face and muttered, "The Prince of Yan should have succeeded to the throne."

Xu Zize was not angry, but lowered his voice and said: "Why so many shoulds? Evidence is needed, otherwise how can we convince the people? Are we going to do it again without justification? During the years in the palace, Brother Xiaokang searched every corner that should be searched, and the Empress Dowager also helped." There was a hint of fatigue in his tone, as if he was talking about those difficult years.

Xu Zize finally shook his head at Jing Chunxi, indicating he had found nothing. He said, "Xi'er, don't say that anymore. Be careful what you say." His eyes held a warning, hoping Jing Chunxi would understand the stakes involved.

Jing Chunxi nodded helplessly, but she still felt resentful for the Prince of Yan. She felt that the world was too unfair. Why could some people seize power by any means necessary, while others could only silently endure an unfair fate?

She secretly vowed in her heart that she must seek justice for those who were wronged, and even if her power was limited, she would do her best.

"What about the second room?"

Jing Chunxi's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were fixed on Xu Zize, full of curiosity. This matter was too serious, and she wanted to know how Prince Jing would deal with this thorny issue.

According to Xu Zize and Ling'er, if the second wife is dealt with, Prince Jing will only have Ling'er, the granddaughter of the first wife, and no other heirs. This is not only a matter of family prosperity and decline, but also a matter of bloodline continuation. Will Prince Jing make a choice?

"Ling'er's second aunt knew that the truth had been revealed, and she admitted that she had committed all the crimes. Then she swallowed the gold to protect her second uncle and four sons."

Xu Zize's voice was low and slow, but it was filled with indignation: "My second uncle refused to plead guilty and said in the Dali Temple that he knew nothing about the whole thing. He completely exonerated himself and his four sons." He paused, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Jing Chunxi was stunned by these words. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and she was speechless for a long time. She felt a surge of anger and shock, and kept thinking to herself: Is this possible? How is this possible? Is this the end of it?

If that were the case, all the bad guys would just have to find someone else to take the blame. She felt powerless, as if the whole world was against her. If she had a weapon, she would have wanted to whip it a few times.

Xu Zize saw Jing Chunxi's expression, gently touched her soft and messy head, and comforted her: "Xi'er is always so anxious!"

His voice was gentle yet firm, an effort to soothe the rage of adolescence. He continued, "Prince Jing is a man of few words, and naturally he won't give up. He knows he can't tolerate such a son. He's already gone to the palace twice, speaking to both the Emperor and the Imperial Clan Bureau, insisting on expelling the Second Branch from the clan and demoting them to commoners."

He knew that this matter would not end so easily.

Then he was silent for a while. Jing Chunxi immediately woke up and blurted out: "The dog emperor doesn't agree?" The flames of anger in her eyes were about to burst out.

Xu Zize smiled at her approvingly again, then snorted, as if to express his dissatisfaction: "He is obviously thinking about Prince Jing and wants to leave an heir for Prince Jing's Mansion." There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, as if he was mocking the emperor's hypocrisy.

Jing Chunxi also groaned: "Dog Emperor! Does he think that Prince Hong and Master can't have a son?" The Dog Emperor wanted to do things to the extreme. He was simply insulting Prince Jing's IQ and the family honor of the entire Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xu Zize said very firmly: "He won't succeed. Prince Jing will not bow to him this time. It is only a matter of time to deal with the second house." According to Prince Jing's temperament, he will definitely stick to it and will not let the dog emperor's conspiracy succeed.

After saying that, Xu Zize suddenly looked at Jing Chunxi strangely, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, and said: "Xier, you will be the granddaughter of General Jing's mansion in the future. Even if your mother remarries, you must not change your surname." When he said this, his expression was very serious, as if he was emphasizing something very important.

Jing Chunxi was completely bewildered by these words. Her eyes widened, and a trace of shame and anger appeared on her face. She angrily shouted at Xu Zize, "Mother will never remarry. The day she left the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, she promised to spend her whole life with us siblings." Her voice was filled with tears, and she was deeply hurt by Xu Zize's words.

After saying that, Jing Chunxi stood up suddenly and ran out angrily without even finishing his meal.

Her heart was filled with anger and grievance. She felt that Xu Zize's words were too hurtful. He was completely unlike the old him, not the person who understood her, and did not understand her family.

She ran while feeling indignant: Brother Xiaokang is so irritating, how could he say such things!
