The woman who claimed to be Yan Yu's fifth aunt was named He. She looked at Yan Yu with a pair of shrewd eyes and said, "Yan'er, you have made it big now. You even married the Prince of Qin! Your father and mother can rest in peace when they see this in the underworld! When you were little, I held you in my arms!"

Yan Yu's wet nurse hurriedly said, "Fifth Madam, the princess is the eldest daughter of the master's family, you should be careful with your titles. When the princess was little, we never dared to let others hold her."

He said quickly: "Yes, yes, now the eldest lady has jumped onto the tree and become a phoenix on the tree. We dare not act rashly."

As she spoke, she secretly looked at Yan Yu's expression.

Yan Yu drank a sip of tea indifferently: "I am too young to remember the relatives who haven't been here for so many years. I don't know why Aunt Wu suddenly came to visit?"

He smiled and said, "Everyone knows that our eldest daughter married the Prince of Qin and became the princess. I heard that your aunt Huang's son died, and the government couldn't find out the truth. But when I mentioned it to you, the real murderer was found immediately. With a word from the eldest daughter, anything can be done."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "No wonder they say that if you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives. If I hadn't married His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, Aunt Five wouldn't have come to visit."

"That's definitely not the case! The eldest lady's parents are both dead, and her life is pitiful. No matter who she marries, we relatives will be thinking about her."

Yan Yu smiled again: "But why did I hear that after my mother passed away, all the relatives of the Wen family came to the Zhenguo Mansion like a swarm of bees to steal things?"

He's expression changed instantly: "Those people from the Shao family actually made up such a lie in order to discredit our Wen family! It was clearly these outsiders who occupied the Wen family's property in the first place!"

Yan Yu's eyebrows drooped.

Over the years, no one knows whether the things these people stole from the Wen family are still there.

Fortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo made great military achievements for the Wei Dynasty, and fortunately, the emperor was secretly observing all this, so Yan Yu, the lonely child, was not eaten up by so many people.

It is extremely difficult for Yan Yu, a married woman, to get back the things that had been lost to other families in the clan many years ago.

But as people of the same clan, they saw that Yan Yu had married into the royal family and was doing things among the people under the banner of a relative. If this continued in the long run, it would definitely affect the reputation of the Qin Palace.

"I know exactly what's going on." Yan Yu said calmly, "Yesterday, the Shuntian Prefecture government reported a matter to me, saying that someone was occupying other people's land under my name..."

He said quickly: "That's ours, not ours, Miss——"

"Whoever the government decides is responsible. I won't help anyone in these cases." Yan Yu's tone suddenly turned cold. "I've told the government that if anyone uses the name of the Qin Palace to cause trouble again, no matter if they are right or wrong, let them be beaten with 30 sticks before the trial."

He's face looked embarrassed.

She had previously inquired from many sources and found out that Huang was not a close relative of her family. She finally found out that the Princess of Qin was kind-hearted and easy to talk to.

I thought Yan Yu would help his relatives, but he turned out to be so disrespectful.

At this time, the maid outside came to report that the prince was coming.

Xiao Chengji didn't come back last night. He said he went out to drink with some cousins ​​from the Bo family and slept at the Bo family after drinking too much.

When he came back this morning, Yan Yu stood up quickly.

When He saw that all the servants in the room had knelt down on the ground, she also knelt down.

He had never seen this legendary King of Qin, but she only heard that he was not easy to get along with.

Xiao Chengji walked in from outside. Yan Yu saw that he was still wearing yesterday's clothes and smelled a little of alcohol, so he asked Ruidong to go downstairs and prepare some hot water.

"Your Highness, do you want to sleep for a while?" Yan Yu said, "Take a shower and change clothes later."

"No, I still have to go to the palace." Xiao Chengji said, "How about the cloud tea that the Bo family gave you last time? Do you like it?"

“I haven’t tasted it yet.”

"If you like it, tell them to send it. If you don't like it, forget it."

Yan Yu said, "The fruit sent from the palace is good. It's called Polo. It tastes good when dipped in sugar."

Yan Yu had never seen this kind of thing before, not even in paintings. It was said to be a fruit tribute from the south. It smelled fragrant and tasted a bit sour, but it was quite good when dipped in sugar.

"Let them send you off more often in the future. It's cold these days, so don't be too greedy for the cool air." At this time, Xiao Chengji saw He who was kneeling next to him. He felt that she looked unfamiliar. "Who is this person?"

Yan Yu knew that these relatives were very hateful for taking advantage of his misfortune, but since so much time had passed, he did not want to take their lives for it. He just wanted to give them a warning so that they would not make irresponsible accusations.

But according to Xiao Chengji's usual style of doing things, he knew that this past incident would definitely make these people pay the price, and it might even cost them their lives.

No matter how overbearing and domineering the Prince of Qin's Mansion was in the past, Yan Yu wanted to leave a reputation of being more lenient to the outside world so that all officials would have a better impression of Xiao Chengji.

Yan Yu said, "Nothing, she's not here to serve, she came over to ask something."

Xiao Chengji didn't say anything more. He had to go back to the palace later, so he ate something and left.

When He got up, she felt a little indignant.

The eldest daughter of the Wen family has become a phoenix and has become so wealthy that she no longer acknowledges them as her poor relatives. Not only does she not help them with even the slightest favor, she also looks down on them and tells the prince that they are servants.

She was filled with rage, and when she was leaving the palace, she happened to see Xiao Chengji's carriage.

He's eyes rolled around, and she quickly stepped forward to salute Xiao Chengji: "Your Highness."

Huoha hurriedly drove them away: "Your Highness is going to enter the palace, all outsiders should leave."

Xiao Chengji still remembered her and glanced at her.

He said, "I am the princess's aunt He, and I come to pay my respects to the princess today."

When Huo Ha heard that it was a relative from the princess's family, he stopped what he was doing and stood behind Xiao Chengji.

Xiao Chengji was not familiar with Yan Yu's relatives, especially those from the Wen family.

I heard that her relatives on the Wen family side are relatively distant, and those who are close have all died. Most of the remaining distant relatives are not doing well and have no weight in the court.

But since they are her relatives, no matter how far or near, the palace will not break the rules.

Xiao Chengji nodded: "If the princess is willing to see you, you can come again in the future."

He smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't do that anymore... My family is in decline, no longer a prominent family. The princess looked down on me and even kicked me out, saying that we are poor relatives, shabby and unpresentable, and that we are a disgrace to the princess."

Huo Ha glanced at Xiao Chengji secretly.

Xiao Chengji nodded: "Since the princess said so, then you should listen to her and don't go in front of her to taint her eyes in the future."
