Listening to Zhao Chunsheng's report, Yun Xi's eyes tightened slightly. She felt something was off.
It seemed to be going too smoothly.
However, she didn't have time to think it over now. She nodded indifferently.
"Okay, that's good."
"Who's inside now?" Yun Xi suddenly stopped and couldn't help asking.
"Reporting to the young lady, it's the daughter of that family."
Yun Xi's expression paused slightly. She slowly let out a breath.
"Okay, I see."
Yun Xi's expression grew solemn. She stepped inside.
After passing through two doors, Yun Xi saw a thin woman standing with her head down in the room. Her hair was a bit disheveled, covering half of her cheek. When she saw Yun Xi come in, she quickly knelt down.
"The commoner Yue'e pays respects to the princess!"
"Thank you, princess, for not only finding a doctor to save my father but also providing a place for my father and me to settle down! Your great kindness, Yue'e will never forget!"
The woman seemed to have prepared what to say in advance. Her speech was very clear and fluent, which was a bit unexpected for Yun Xi.
"Those were just minor efforts. You don't need to kneel to me."
Yun Xi paused for a few seconds, then stepped forward to help the kneeling woman up.
However, after seeing the half of the woman's face covered by her hair, her gaze couldn't help but linger.
The woman noticed Yun Xi's gaze. She immediately covered half of her face and stepped back. She quickly explained.
"Sorry, princess! Yue'e was burned in a fire when she was young, ruining her appearance. The scars on my face are hideous and terrifying. I scared you."
Looking at the woman's panicked look, Yun Xi felt as if a stone had sunk in her heart. She suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
Although she had just met the woman, she could tell that the woman was kind - hearted. She was definitely not as vicious as Madam Jiang. This made Yun Xi feel pity for her.
"Yue'e, this is not your fault. You don't need to care too much about others' looks."
Yun Xi stepped forward and stood in front of the woman. She looked at the woman firmly. The woman, who was extremely self - abased and kept dodging just a moment ago, suddenly calmed down.
She looked at Princess Yongning, who had saved the lives of the victims and provided them with a place to live, with slightly red eyes. No one had ever said such words to her.
Yun Xi looked at the half of Yue'e's delicate face. She tentatively lifted the hair covering the other half of Yue'e's face.
Looking at the hideous scars that almost wound down to her neck, Yun Xi said firmly.
"I will definitely find the best doctor to treat the scars on your face!"
Regardless of whether Yue'e would help her deal with Madam Jiang later, she wanted to do this.
She just wanted this poor woman to stop being so timid and self - abased because of her appearance!
Hearing this, Yue'e looked at Yun Xi in surprise.
"Princess, is there anything the commoner can do for you?"
Although Yue'e was just a simple country girl, she wasn't stupid.
She knew there was no free lunch in the world, but she believed that this beautiful young lady in front of her wouldn't deceive her!
Meeting Yue'e's eager gaze, Yun Xi gently shook her head. She couldn't bear to use such a grateful girl.
"I'm willing to help you because you have some connection with an old acquaintance of mine. You don't need to feel burdened. Just learn skills in the embroidery workshop well. It's not too late to repay me with your hard work later."
After Yun Xi finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave. However, Aunt Qin and Zhao Chunsheng looked anxious.
"Miss, wait a moment."
Aunt Qin grabbed Yun Xi's sleeve. Zhao Chunsheng also said urgently.
"Miss, you can't be so soft - hearted!"
Because they knew how much effort and time Yun Xi had spent to find this father - daughter pair. Now that victory seemed within reach, how could the young lady just give up?
Hearing Zhao Chunsheng's words, Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
"I'm a woman. Why can't I be soft - hearted?"
Moreover, she thought that only things that violated her principles would really make her uncomfortable.
She just didn't want to live a life full of scheming without a bottom line.
Looking at their expressions and hearing their words, Yue'e then realized that the matter might be related to her. She couldn't help asking.
"Princess, who is the old acquaintance you mentioned? Can you tell this servant?"
Meeting Yue'e's confused gaze, Yun Xi originally wanted to make up an excuse casually. But Zhao Chunsheng didn't want to see Yun Xi's efforts go to waste. He rushed to reply.
"It's your biological mother, Jiang Xu. She's now Concubine Jiang in the prime minister's mansion!"
Zhao Chunsheng's words made the relationship clear. Hearing this, Yue'e's face suddenly changed. She stood there stiffly.
Then, she gritted her teeth, full of hatred.
"So it's because of her!"
Yue'e, who was extremely grateful to Yun Xi just now, suddenly changed her expression.
She looked at Yun Xi coldly. First, she bowed to Yun Xi, then straightened her back.
"Princess, the commoner is grateful for your great kindness, but I really can't accept your further kindness."
"Today, I will take my father out of the residence provided by the embroidery workshop. I will find a job in the capital and pay back all the medical fees I owe you! Please forgive the commoner for taking her leave!"
After saying that, Yue'e was about to leave. But Yun Xi stepped forward to block her way.
"Wait a moment!"
From Yue'e's words, Yun Xi could clearly feel her hatred for Madam Jiang, which was even stronger than her own.
Even if she had to wander the streets with her seriously ill father, she still refused to accept Yun Xi's help!
This made Yun Xi wonder if Yue'e already knew something.
"Does the princess have anything else to say?"
Yue'e had a cold face. She turned her eyes to the side and didn't want to look at Yun Xi.
Because she really didn't want to accept that this kind - hearted Princess Yongning was actually related to her insidious and vicious mother!
Feeling that she was inexplicably involved and disliked, Yun Xi couldn't help smiling helplessly.
"Yue'e, let me make one thing clear first: I've never regarded Madam Jiang as my family. You mustn't group us together. I can't stand it!"
Hearing this, Yue'e frowned and looked at Yun Xi in confusion.
"Why?"
Yun Xi sneered and counter - asked.
"If it were you, would you regard someone who has plotted against you many times and is determined to get rid of you as your family?"
Yue'e shook her head. Her eyes were full of anger. She said firmly.
"No, she's my enemy!"
Seeing Yue'e's reaction, Yun Xi sighed.
"I'm the same as you. I only have hatred for her."
It was not only because Madam Jiang had tried every means to scheme against her in both her past and present lives, but also because Madam Jiang had committed many evils and killed many innocent people for her own ambition and desires!
As she slowly uncovered those crimes, all she could see was that woman's greed and venom. She was just like a snake!
So, her original wish to just defeat Madam Jiang and get back her mother's relics had now become a determination to completely crush Madam Jiang!
To drive Madam Jiang out of the prime minister's mansion and make her never be able to recover!
