Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

There’s a Dog Blocking Her Path

Upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Yu Wanrong’s face, which was hidden under the veil, twisted into an unsightly expression. Her gaze when she looked at Yu Yunxi was also slightly terrifying.

Someone muttered at the side, “That’s right. Miss Yu seems to wear a veil every time she’s out in public. Why is that?”

Another person chimed in, “I heard that she doesn’t remove the veil even when she’s meeting the Emperor.”

Everyone’s eyes shifted to Yu Wanrong immediately.

Yu Wanrong was gritting her teeth so hard at this moment that she almost broke them.

‘Why? Isn’t it all because of that b*tch, Yu Yunxi?!’

Five years ago, Yu Yunxi had injured Yu Wanrong’s face. Over the past five years, Yu Wanrong had been searching for doctors, but none of them could remove the scar. For this reason, she could only wear a veil when she appeared in front of people.

Madam Chen glared at Yu Yunxi and said in a hostile tone, “Wanrong is delicate. She can even catch a cold from a light breeze. That’s why she wears a veil. What else do you want to know, Yu Yunxi?”

“I see. Then, I hope my sister will take better care of her body. After all, the Imperial Family probably wouldn’t want a frail and sickly daughter-in-law,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

“You!” Madam Chen almost died of anger when she heard these words.

Meanwhile, the others only listened and did not say anything. They all knew without a doubt now that the concubine’s daughter from the Yu family had returned to cause trouble for the Yu family.

At this time, Yu Wanrong suddenly started coughing. She clutched her chest. She looked so frail that it seemed as though a gust of wind could blow her down. Tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lower lip. She sighed and said, “I’m very weak. Indeed, people might dislike me for this. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent didn’t mind and allowed me to sit near him. He’s not afraid of being infected.”

Yu Yunxi was stunned when she heard Yu Wanrong’s pretentious words. Then, she recalled the rumors she heard when she was Xinan again and could not help but feel disappointed. At the same time, she felt that the victory she had just won from Yu Wanrong no longer made her as happy as it did before. She only felt it was rather… boring.

Sensing the change in Yu Yunxi’s mood, Qian Jiao called out worriedly, “Master.”

“I’m fine,” Yu Yunxi replied, and her expression turned cold again. She did not want a heartless man.

The banquet continued, and everyone had their own thoughts.

When the banquet was about to end, Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Zhongcheng and asked curiously, “Father, the Emperor has yet to summon me into the palace so I don’t know where I should stay for the time being. Godfather said that as the Prime Minister, you should take care of his goddaughter. You don’t have a problem with this, right?

‘Does she mean to stay in the Prime Minister’s Residence?’

Madam Chen’s expression darkened again. She was about to refuse when Yu Zhongcheng said, “This is originally your home after all. This is just like a homecoming. Men, clean up the new courtyard for the young miss.”

“There’s no need to go to so much trouble. I like the small courtyard that Mother and I used to live in. Father, you can just send someone to clean that courtyard up.” Yu Yunxi said with a yawn.

Yu Zhongcheng reprimanded the servant behind him, “Since the young miss has spoken, why aren’t you going?”

“Yes, yes, Prime Minister.”

The servants hurried away to clean the courtyard.

Madam Chen was so angry that she felt like she was going to vomit blood. It was not easy for her the chase the b*tch away, but Yu Zhengchong actually allowed her to return.

The others were also puzzled. After all, Yu Zhongcheng had publicly disowned his daughter. Earlier, he did not even conceal his hatred toward Yu Yunxi. They wondered why he had easily agreed to her staying in the Prime Minister’s Residence.

Qian Jiao was also shocked. She said in a low voice, “Master, it’s just as you said. He agreed to let us stay.”

Before coming to the Prime Minister’s Residence, Qian Jiao had been worried Yu Zhongcheng would disagree even if it meant disregarding the King of Xinan. However, Yu Yunxi had told her not to worry and said that Yu Zhongcheng would definitely agree to them staying.

Unlike the shocked Qian Jiao, Yu Yunxi was calm. After all, this was within her expectations. He was sinister and cunning, filled with schemes. Now that the Emperor was wary of Xinan, the Emperor would definitely think of ways to control Xinan. She knew Yu Zhongzheng would agree to her staying in the residence so he could monitor her and find an opportunity to claim credit from the Emperor. He would not let go of any opportunity to grow and stabilize his power.

One by one, the guests began to leave. As soon as they left the Prime Minister’s Residence, they began to gossip among themselves.

“Hey, do you think the concubine’s daughter of the Yu family will turn the Yu family upside down now that she’s returned?”

“You’re thinking too much. To put it nicely, she’s Xinan’s County Princess, but to put it bluntly, she’s nothing more than a hostage from Xinan. Moreover, this is the capital. If she causes trouble here, she’ll only be courting death.”

“That’s right. Based on her blatant actions today, she’ll probably die a miserable death in the future. Did you see the Prince Regent’s attitude? It’s obvious that he hates her. She’s made so many enemies for herself. It seems like she has a death wish.”

Someone laughed and said, “Let’s just watch the show. She’s just an abandoned Princess Consort and a concubine’s daughter who’s hated by her family. Most importantly, she’s just a hostage, but she still wants to rely on her identity as the goddaughter of the King of Xinan to stir up trouble.”

When the mocking voices finally faded away, Yu Yunxi calmly made her way to the southeast corner of the Prime Minister’s Residence.

Due to Madam Chen’s instructions, there were no servants serving Yu Yunxi.

“Master, what do they mean by this?” Qian Jiao asked indignantly.

On the contrary, Yu Yunxi was calm. Everything was within her expectations. She said slowly, “I never thought that the identity of the goddaughter of the King of Xinan would make them cower anyway. That show earlier was just a small warning. My revenge has yet to start.”

‘I’ll avenge Mother and Nanny…’

At this moment, Qian Jiao saw an aloof man up ahead, and she quickly said in a low voice, “Master, it’s the Prince Regent.”

Yu Yunxi looked up and frowned. Before she could figure out if Feng Yili was waiting for her, she saw Yu Wanrong running toward him. Her expression turned icy immediately.

Qian Jiao looked at Yu Yunxi and called out worriedly, “Master.”

“There’s a dog blocking our path. Let’s change paths,” Yu Yunxi said and turned around without hesitation. However, she did not expect to meet another dog after she chose another path.
