“Did you see who pushed you?” Yu Yunxi asked icily.
Qian Qing voiced out her speculation, asking, “Could it be Yu Xiaoxiao?”
After all, Yu Xiaoxiao was rash and ruthless.
However, Yu Shuangshuang shook her head and said, “It’s not her. However, I do have a guess…’
Yu Shuangshuang sounded hesitant nearing the end of her words.
Yu Yunxi picked up her teacup and said lightly, “Tell me.”
“I sent someone to investigate. Before Grandmother called me over, Kang
Qingping was with her for two hours. When I was pushed into the pond, Kang Qingrui’s maidservant was not with her, ” Yu Shuangshuang said solemnly.
‘Kang Qingping, Kang Qingrui?’
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly. She recalled what happened earlier and thought to herself, ‘The Kang sisters are really restless…’
Yu Yunxi set the teacup down and slowly said, “Alright, I heard you. I definitely won’t let them off for causing trouble in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. Rest well. ”
Yu Shuangshuang took a deep breath and stood up. Unexpectedly, she suddenly kneeled in front of Yu Yunxi and said seriously, “Eldest Princess, I admit that when you first returned to the residence, I had the intention to get close to you with ulterior motives. I was wrong. You’re a magnanimous person. I shouldn’t have tried to scheme against you for my own purpose.”
Yu Shuangshuang sounded very apologetic when she spoke.
Yu Yunxi looked at Qian Qing meaningfully, and Qian Qing quickly helped Yu
Shuangshuang up.
After that, Yu Yunxi said unhurriedly, “It’s not bad to be a little scheming when you live in a big family. However, you can’t scheme against innocent people for your own selfish desires. Father hasn’t been in the residence for many years so many monsters have taken root here. If I want to uproot them, I still need the help of a meticulous person. Hence, I’m not helping you for no reason. I know you’re smart; you know what to do and what not to do. Since you repented and didn’t do anything to harm the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, I’m naturally willing to help you.”
Yu Shuangshuang felt as though a heavy stone had been removed from her heart when she heard this. She nodded excitedly and said, “I don’t ask for much. I just want my life to be less bitter. If the Eldest Princess needs my help, please don’t hesitate to ask me! I’ll definitely do my best for you.’
Yu Yunxi said patiently, “There’s no hurry. You should recuperate first. Your body is weak so you won’t be able to do anything if you don’t look after your health. ”
After a moment, Yu Yunxi added, “Since you were honest with me, there’s no need to be so reserved. You can just call me ‘Cousin’.”
Yu Shuangshuang was stunned. When she regained her senses, she did not refuse and quickly nodded. “Yes, Cousin.”
“It’s not a bad thing that you didn’t get to attend the banquet. Many women were frightened out of their wits at the banquet today,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.
Yu Shuangshuang glanced at Yu Yunxi and said in a complicated tone, “I heard about it. I didn’t expect that… the King of Youshan is the Prince Regent of Tianxia. ”
The incident in the palace was so big that it had already spread like wildfire. No one dared to discuss it openly, but they were definitely discussing it in private. Everyone also knew that Yu Yunxi was close to the King of Youshan.
Yu Shuangshuang said worriedly, “Cousin, I heard that the Prince Regent of
Tianxia is ruthless and that he kills without batting an eyelid…”
Yu Yunxi propped her chin on her hand as she sneered. Then, she said casually, “You might not know this, but I was also a murderous and ruthless person before I came to Xichu. Many people called me a she-demon.”
Back when Yu Yunxi led the troops in Xinan, that was what the enemies had called her.
‘I-is that so?’
Yu Shuangshuang’s face paled. Although she was smarter than ordinary women, she was raised like the women of this time and was very sheltered. As such, she was still fearful about fighting and killing.
Yu Yunxi chuckled when she saw Yu Shuangshuang’s reaction. She said, “Look at how frightened you are. I kill people who deserve it. If you didn’t do anything bad, I’d have no reason to kill you.”
Yu Shuangshuang sighed in relief before she scratched her head sheepishly. Then, she said awkwardly, “I overreacted. Cousin is far superior to women in the capital. It’s not surprising that you’re so powerful. However, I heard that the Prince Regent already had a consort. Moreover, it’s said that he’s really in love with her.”
Everyone in the world paid a lot of attention to Feng Yili. As such, many knew that he already had a Princess Consort. However, that was all they knew.
Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Shuangshuang and slowly said, “Didn’t rumors spread recently that the King of Youshan is already married and has a child?”
Yu Shuangshuang smacked her forehead lightly. “That’s right!”
Then, Yu Shuangshuang seemed to realize something and said, “Whether he’s the King of Youshan or the Prince Regent, he already has a wife and son. He’s not worthy of you, Cousin.”
Now that Yu Shuangshuang knew that Yu Yunxi was not one to put on airs, she also became much more relaxed. She said, “Cousin, I still think you’re the most compatible with the Third Prince of Beixiao.”
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh, why do you say that?”
“Even I know that the Third Prince of Beixiao will most likely inherit the throne. If you marry him, won’t you become the Empress of Beixiao in the future? The empress is the most respected woman in the country. It’s the wish of countless women to rise to that position,” Yu Shuangshuang replied as she gestured with her hands excitedly.
“So if you have a chance, do you want to be the empress?” Yu Yunxi asked.
‘Huh?’
Yu Shuangshuang was shocked by Yu Yunxi’s words. She quickly shook her head and said,
“No, Cousin, I don’t have such thoughts. I…”
“I’m just asking casually. There’s no outsiders here so you don’t have to be afraid,” Yu Yunxi said reassuringly as she poured Yu Shuangshuang a cup of tea.
Yu Shuangshuang sighed in relief before she said with a smile, “I don’t want to. Although the position of the Empress is noble, it’s very tiring. I’m just a little smart. I don’t think I’ll be able to deal with so many women. I’m different from you, Cousin. You have a noble status, and you have the support of the Emperor Emeritus. Moreover, you’re intelligent. Those women definitely won’t be a match for you. You can definitely sit firmly in the position of the Empress. I suffered for so many years in the King of Zhenbei because of women in the residence. All I want is to marry someone with a slightly noble status and settle down for the rest of my life…”
Yu Yunxi and Qian Qing could not help but laugh when they heard Yu Shuangshuang say so much in one breath.
Yu Yunxi shook her head and said helplessly, “Someone with a slightly noble status? This is too difficult. It’s even harder than finding someone with a noble status.”
‘Why didn’t I realize earlier that my cousin is quite interesting?
