Chapter 250 Yu Jiashu learns about Xiao Sirou's past

Yu Jiashu had just finished his business and returned to the Yu residence.

At the door, I saw Li.

Yu Jiashu smiled and went to greet her: "Mother."

Today, Lady Li went to inquire about Prince Zhao from the other ladies, and she actually found out.

It turns out that King Zhao's daughter was kidnapped when she was young, made into a maid, and later a concubine, where she suffered a miscarriage.

Such a past is extremely unbearable for a woman.

When Li learned of this, she was overjoyed.

So what if she's the daughter of King Zhao? With such a past, even if Yu Jiashu marries her, he will still be looked down upon.

Li walked up to Yu Jiashu, looked him over, and spoke to him with concern.

"Jiashu, I inquired about the past of the daughter of King Zhao today, and I now know about it." Li Shi was just like a gossipy matchmaker at the village entrance.

Yu Jiashu frowned, wondering what Li was going to say.

Xiao Sirou happened to be near the Yu residence when she heard Li's words, and her heart skipped a beat.

She gestured for the servants behind her to stop, and listened from the side to see what else the two had to say.

Seeing that Yu Jiashu didn't respond, Li continued, "The daughter of King Zhao was kidnapped when she was young. Later, she was sold to a family as a maid, and the master always beat her."

Yu Jiashu was slightly taken aback.

He was trying to determine whether what Li said was true or false.

However, since it concerns the daughter of King Zhao, it is estimated that Lady Li would not dare to fabricate stories, and it is highly likely to be true.

He recalled the woman in the purple dress; she was so beautiful, and he couldn't believe she had such a past.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Xiao Sirou, who was standing to the side, turned pale as she listened to Li's words.

It seems that Yu Jiashu is unaware of her past.

Now that all these things were laid bare before him, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

It's better if someone else tells him, so he doesn't have to tell you himself.

If I were to ask myself, I really wouldn't know how to begin.

Yu Jiashu listened quietly, while Madam Li deliberately lowered her voice: "Later, she even married the son of that family as a concubine, and I heard she even had a miscarriage!"

A look of surprise flashed across Yu Jiashu's eyes.

Princess, you were actually someone's concubine?

"Later, King Zhao found this daughter and took her back," Li continued, with a look that said, "I'm doing this for your own good." "Jiashu, when you're looking for a girl, you have to be careful. You can't marry a woman who's not clear about her background."

“If you marry her, how will others view you? They will think that you would rather sell yourself and marry such a disgraced woman for the sake of King Zhao’s power.”

As Xiao Sirou listened to Li's words, her nails dug into her flesh.

"Ambiguous" and "full of bad deeds"—these words are like sharp knives, piercing my heart.

She knew that her past was looked down upon by many people, and there was a lot of gossip going around.

However, hearing these words with her own ears, especially in front of Yu Jiashu, made Xiao Sirou feel particularly distressed.

She didn't know how Yu Jiashu would react when he found out.

She even wanted to run away, fearing that Yu Jiashu would follow Li's lead and say things that slandered her.

Yu Jiashu took a while to process Li's words, finding them particularly jarring.

He suddenly thought of himself.

When he was young, he was also labeled a "bastard" and his mother was called a "harlot." Many people would say this to his face.

He grew up enduring scorn and knew what it felt like to be pointed at and talked about.

Xiao Sirou was a woman who was abducted when she was young, which was already very pitiful. She should have been a pampered princess, but instead she became a lowly servant and had such a tragic fate.

The more Yu Jiashu thought about it, the more he felt a sense of shared misfortune.

She didn't choose her own fate, so why should she be looked down upon and pointed at?

He looked into Li's eyes and said, word by word, "Mother, please be careful with your words. Becoming a concubine was not what the princess wished for. What do you mean by 'unclear' or 'full of bad deeds'?"

“Even if she has such a past, she is still the daughter of King Zhao, a princess of noble status. If someone hears about it, be careful that her mother will be punished.”

Li was stunned by Yu Jiashu's words.

What's wrong with this kid today?

Previously, Yu Jiashu had always treated her with utmost respect and never contradicted her.

Now, he's actually talking back to her, and he seems quite angry.

She originally intended to annoy Yu Jiashu with this matter, but in reality, the daughter of the Prince Zhao was still a princess, and marrying a princess would make one a member of the imperial family.

Thinking that after telling Yu Jiashu all this, perhaps he wouldn't want to marry the princess anymore, and the gap between Tianzong and him wouldn't be so big.

Even if he were to marry the princess, this would become a source of resentment between him and the princess, inevitably affecting their relationship.

In short, she just didn't want to see Yu Jiashu doing well.

But judging from Yu Jiashu's reaction, he not only didn't mind the princess's past, but also spoke up for her, seemingly intentionally protecting her.

Li was somewhat displeased and said, "Mother is doing this for your own good. Do you really want to marry her?"

Yu Jiashu knew that Li had ill intentions, so he replied, "Whether I marry her or not is not up to me, but up to her. She is a princess of noble status, and if she is willing to marry me, it would be my greatest fortune."

As Xiao Sirou listened to Yu Jiashu's words, tears blurred her vision.

She had always been an insecure person, but after returning to the palace and being pampered by her father, she gradually regained her confidence.

However, when she hears rumors, she still feels secretly saddened, and that deep sense of inferiority wells up from her heart again.

She knew that many people flattered her on the surface, but only because of her status as a princess.

He secretly disliked her past experiences.

However, Yu Jiashu did not look down on her and respected her, which made her feel infinitely warm.

The maidservant beside her looked at the princess with a sense of relief. She had always hoped that the princess could find a good man who would treat her well and be kind to her. Now it seemed that Lord Yu was indeed a good candidate.

Xiao Sirou wiped away her tears.

Even when traveling, a princess must still maintain her dignity.

She took two steps forward, cleared her throat, and said coldly, "Madam, please be careful with your words. My past is not something you can easily discuss."

Even if she marries Yu Jiashu in the future, it will be Yu Jiashu who will become an adopted son-in-law of her Prince Zhao's mansion.

She didn't have to put up with Yu Jiashu's stepmother's attitude at the Yu residence, so she didn't stand on ceremony.

Only then did Madam Li notice Xiao Sirou. Seeing that she was dressed elegantly and was very beautiful, and that she called herself "this princess," Madam Li was extremely flustered.

Oh no! I was just saying a few random things, and by sheer coincidence, the person in question overheard me!

Yu Jiashu turned around and saw Xiao Sirou. His eyes lit up with surprise and astonishment at her presence.

At the same time, he was secretly delighted, wondering if Xiao Sirou had heard what he had just said.

When fate comes, you can't stop it!
