Every day, she would arrive in the Marquis's carriage. As soon as she arrived at the Yu family's residence, she would have her things unloaded from the carriage, causing the neighbors to keep peeking out to check.
“Yaoyao, it’s all your mother’s fault. I didn’t realize the midwife’s wicked intentions and she switched you with someone else, leaving you stranded outside.”
"Yaoyao, can you forgive your mother?"
“Yaoyao, do you know how heartbroken your father and I were after we found out the baby had been switched? I cried day and night, all because I wanted to find you.”
"I never imagined that my own daughter was so close yet so far away. God, why didn't you tell me sooner? Waaaaah!"
Cui Ruixin put on a pitiful look, pounding her chest and stamping her feet, crying so hard she could barely breathe.
They put the Yu family members directly on the fire to roast.
"Sister-in-law, please come in and sit for a while," Shen Jinzhu hurriedly came out to invite her.
But she refused to go in, insisting on waiting for Yu Ningyao to come out.
But Yu Ningyao wasn't going to indulge her; she had important things to do.
The Hidden Lin Guard did not take any action against Pei Wuji. Emperor Xiangwu merely punished him with light punishments, confining him to his residence and confiscating his property.
The charge was that he failed to manage his subordinates properly, couldn't even control his private residence, and let people break in; there was no point in keeping him there.
Such retaliation was insignificant to Pei Wuji, and Yu Ningyao was also dissatisfied.
So she had the system find all the forces that Pei Wuji had secretly built up over the years, planning to give him a big gift after she left Xiangguo.
She was going to distribute these materials to the eldest prince, the second prince, and the crown prince.
Let them fight each other to the death.
Yu Ningyao didn't take Cui Ruixin to heart. Instead, she became more determined after each setback and came to the Yu family with gifts for seven consecutive days.
Shen Jinzhu was furious and smashed the bowls and chopsticks during dinner.
"What does sister-in-law mean by this? She's clearly trying to ruin Yaoyao's reputation."
“You can’t force a cow to eat grass. Yao Yao doesn’t want to acknowledge her as her biological mother, so why doesn’t she reflect on her own behavior instead of forcing Yao Yao to acknowledge her?”
“You have no idea what people outside are saying about Yaoyao. They say that now that Yaoyao has become the Crown Princess and a princess, she doesn’t recognize her own mother anymore.”
"Madam, please calm down," Yu Kangjing quickly tried to coax her.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to come, then come. We'll accept your gifts. They're just for Yaoyao's dowry, so we won't lose out."
"I don't believe she'll have anything new to send after all those days. The Marquis's mansion is entirely dependent on Ziche's wife right now. If she sends too much, Ziche's wife won't just sit idly by."
Hearing her husband's words, Shen Jinzhu felt much more at ease.
But she was still unhappy: "Who cares about her dowry? I've already prepared Yaoyao's dowry, okay? There's also the dowry from the palace."
"Yes, yes, but why not take what's free? The more dowry Yaoyao has, the less people will dare to look down on her after she marries in." Yu Kangjing said nice things and massaged his wife's shoulders, finally managing to appease her.
But to their utter surprise, Cui Ruixin unleashed a powerful move.
She actually swallowed her pride and knelt down in the pouring rain on the eighth day.
"Yaoyao, please come out and see your mother. Your mother almost died giving birth to you, how can you be so heartless?" Cui Ruixin was soaked in the torrential rain, but she stubbornly refused to enter the Yu family home.
Yu Ziche and his brothers quickly held up an umbrella for her.
But she pushed him away.
"You all leave. I'm the one who wronged Yaoyao. If she doesn't forgive me, I'll kneel here forever." Cui Ruixin was determined.
Upon learning of this, Yu Ningyao could no longer tolerate it and, ignoring her parents' advice, went directly into the rain to see Cui Ruixin.
When Cui Ruixin saw her, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.
"Yaoyao, have you forgiven your mother?"
Yu Ningyao half-squatted down beside her and whispered in her ear, "Don't appear in front of me again, or I will tell your uncle everything you've done over the years."
"You had someone hide it in a vase and send it to the old lady's room to frame her for having an affair. Did you really think you could cover it up perfectly?"
"And the old Marquis's death, you used Yu Ziyuan to poison him, do you think no one knows?"
When Cui Ruixin heard her words, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck her ears.
She panicked, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
"How did you know?"
"Aunt, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. Don't do too many things that you have a guilty conscience." Yu Ningyao smiled slightly.
But to Cui Ruixin, that smile seemed like a vengeful ghost.
The heavy rain made the jewels and ornaments in her disheveled hair crackle and pop.
She tried to scream, but was too terrified to utter a word.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Yu Ziche and his brothers were startled when they saw Cui Ruixin's unusual behavior.
They rushed over to help her up.
Yu Ziyuan angrily rebuked Yu Ningyao: "Second sister, even if you don't acknowledge our mother, she is still your aunt. What did you say to her that drove her to this point?"
Yu Ningyao wasn't angry; she still had a smile on her face.
"Ask your aunt if she really wants me to make public what I just said."
"No, don't!" Cui Ruixin gripped her son's arm tightly, almost scratching his hand until it bled.
"Let's go back to the manor, let's go back to the manor." She didn't give her sons a chance to question Yu Ningyao, and pulled them back to the manor.
"Mother, what happened? What did she say to you?" Yu Ziche couldn't help but ask.
But Cui Ruixin's eyes were vacant, and she did not respond to them.
That very night after returning to the Marquis's residence, Cui Ruixin developed a high fever.
In her dream, she saw the old Marquis and his wife, whom she hadn't dreamed of in a long time.
She couldn't understand how even Yu Kangping couldn't uncover such old stories.
How did Yu Ningyao, a young girl who hadn't even reached marriageable age, know all this?
……
Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu were also very curious.
What exactly did Yu Ningyao say to Cui Ruixin after she went out? Why did Cui Ruixin look like she had seen a ghost and was so frightened?
"Nothing. I just told her that if she keeps putting on this melodramatic act and angers me, I'll assassinate the Emperor and have her and her entire family executed along with me." Yu Ningyao started by spouting nonsense.
Yu Kangjing: ...
Shen Jinzhu: ...
The two couldn't help but slap her on the back.
"What nonsense are you spouting, child? Are you trying to take us all with you?" Shen Jinzhu glared at her.
Yu Ningyao chuckled and quickly took her arm to apologize.
"Mother, I was wrong. I just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. She comes over every day, like a fly that I can't get rid of. She's so annoying."
“I swear, I would never do such a thing. More than anyone else, I hope you live to be a hundred years old, live a life of wealth and leisure, surrounded by your children and grandchildren, and grow old happily.”
Hearing her words, Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu's eyes softened.
If only my daughter could marry into the Lu family.
The two families lived not far apart, both in the capital, and they could meet every now and then.
Now, however, they are separated by a great distance.
I fear we will never meet again in this lifetime.
