The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

When talking about the bandits, Yun Mujiu consciously glanced at Butler Zeng, and what came to his mind were the past events that Butler Zeng had told them.

Butler Zeng left the capital when he was young, wanting to build a career so that he could return and marry his sweetheart.

Before he even reached Jiangnan, he was robbed by bandits. Not only did he lose all his property, he was also seriously injured and almost died.

It was precisely because of this change that his business capital, time and energy were consumed, which led to his eventual return home in glory and his journey back to the capital to find a new master being delayed for a long time.

Yun Mujiu knew that Ye Xiaohan had avenged Butler Zeng before. Ye Xiaohan found the gangsters who had harmed Butler Zeng when he was a teenager. He did not have to follow the so-called rules, such as bringing them to justice. Instead, he used the straightforward method that Ye King was accustomed to - after finding out the truth of the matter, he would directly execute the criminals on the spot, and all kinds of punishment might be used.

Anyway, the government can't do anything to him.

The gang of bandits were later executed, and Butler Zeng's old vengeance was avenged.

Right now, Ye Xiaohan is not only targeting those who have harmed Butler Zeng, or just those who have harmed Ling Xingmu, but he is also - to exterminate the rampant bandits for the sake of a considerable number of Zhongyue people!

Butler Zeng suddenly raised his head, and Yun Mujiu could clearly see the clarity in his eyes.

Yun Mujiu's heart sank. She was a little worried that the news about the bandits would trigger Butler Zeng's sad memories from the past.

Although Butler Zeng's eyesight was sometimes blurry, he was still an old man after all. At this moment, his eyes were very sharp. He noticed the way Yun Mujiu looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry. I have already let go of all the past events. Besides, the prince has already avenged me and wiped out the gang of bandits. This is a good thing."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that you have dealt with a new group of bandits, it is even better. I am even happier about this and have no other negative emotions at all."

Everyone knew that Butler Zeng was telling everyone that he would not have an outburst of negative emotions because of key words related to past pain, such as "gangster".

Yun Mujiu and others felt relieved, and Yun Mujiu turned around to look at the guard who reported the news.

"Please pass this message to the prince as well."

"Yes, I understand!"

The guard bowed and left. Yun Mujiu suddenly thought of something and spoke carefully to Butler Zeng: "By the way, Butler Zeng, can I ask a question about Wanying?"

"Please go ahead, Princess."

"You have avenged the gangsters. So what will happen next with regard to Wanying's revenge?"

Wanying was squeezed dry by her biological father and stepmother, and after she came of age, she was sold off like a commodity. In this family, everyone is Wanying's enemy.

In addition, Wanying was made a concubine by a rich old man, and it is said that Wanying's life after marriage was not as glorious as imagined. The reason why Wanying committed suicide must have something to do with the old man who bullied men and women. Wanying must have suffered a lot under that man.

Therefore, in Yun Mujiu's opinion, Wanying's biological father, stepmother, and the old man that Wanying was forced to marry could all be regarded as the enemy of Zeng Guanjia. So she wanted to take this opportunity to ask whether those people had suffered any retribution?

Fuso and others became interested when they heard Yun Mujiu's question.

Since ancient times, gossip has been human nature, and humans are a social species. When a small group of people get together, the fire of gossip will naturally burn.

Butler Zeng looked helplessly at the group of curious juniors and sighed softly. He didn't expect these kids to be so thoughtful and even specifically asked about the things he wanted to hide.

"Well, since you all want to know, I might as well tell you all at once."

Looking at Yun Mujiu who was asking the question, he replied, "The old official who retired and returned to his hometown was not a good person in private and did a lot of dirty things. Long before he forced Wanying to marry him, he used his official status to do many evil things."

“This person deserves to die.”

Yun Mujiu's eyelids jumped, and he heard Butler Zeng say, "The official's surname is Ye."

Yun Mujiu's mind moved slightly, and he heard Butler Zeng add: "He is from the main branch of the Ye family. He has a close blood relationship with Ye Qingyan."

Yun Mujiu was speechless. She had guessed it right.

Now she finally understood why Housekeeper Zeng never wanted to tell them the results of the investigation into Wanying's suicide. It turned out that it had something to do with her.

In the past, she was the legitimate daughter of the residence of Prime Minister Zhongyue, and her stepmother was Ye Qingyan. To outsiders, she had a close relationship with the Ye family and was treated by Ye family like her own daughter.

However, members of Ye's maternal clan had committed many evil deeds. One of them had established contact with someone from the Night King's Palace many years ago, but it was a bad connection.

In addition, it was also understandable why Ye Xiaohan seemed particularly wary of her at first, fearing that she was someone sent by the Ye family.

Yun Mujiu figured it out and said in a joking tone: "Butler Zeng, I understand. I was wondering why everyone treated me strangely when I first arrived at the Night Palace!"

A look of understanding appeared on her oval face, and she said firmly, "It turns out that before I was born, I had already had a feud with the old steward of the Night Palace and even the Night King because of myself and the Ye family."

Butler Zeng was stunned, then smiled and waved his hand: "Princess, it's not like that. How we treated you before has nothing to do with this matter. Because before how we treated you, no one knew about this matter, so how can we use one thing to influence our attitude towards you?"

"Most people in the Night Palace have only learned about the connection between my first love and your stepmother's relatives after hearing me speak up in the past few days. So there is no such thing as someone in the Night Palace treating you differently because of your background and connections."

Yun Mujiu smiled happily, "Butler Zeng, I know." She was just joking, to make Butler Zeng happy.

"Princess, I know that too." The princess was joking with him.

Housekeeper Zeng followed suit and laughed, and boldly chatted with Yun Mujiu: "What's more, when the princess first arrived at the Ye Palace, our attitude towards her was quite good, because at that time we were not sure whether the princess was an enemy or not, so we did not want to accidentally hurt other innocent people."

"The second reason is that the princess may be an innocent person, and she was just being used for a marriage to achieve certain political goals because of political struggles. So the people in the palace have never thought about how to despise and treat you badly."

"As for the third reason?" Butler Zeng took a deep look at Yun Mujiu and tried to speak again...
