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

Jumping Into the Pond to Frame Her

‘What? What’s the relationship between Yu Zhongcheng and the Empress?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed immediately. After a moment, she asked sharply, “Did the Empress and my father discover you?”

“No, I was shocked when I saw them. I planned to leave immediately, but just as I turned around, I ran into that Chen woman,” Aunt Qing said in a choked voice. Fear still lingered in her heart when she recalled that incident.

“If they know that I’m still alive, they definitely won’t let me off. I’m not afraid of facing that Chen woman, but as for the Prime Minister and the Empress…” Aunt Qing trailed off.

Madam Chen had killed all of Aunt Qing’s family members. Over the past few years, she had been wishing she could kill Madam Chen every day. Naturally, she was not afraid of facing Madam Chen. However, the Empress and Yu Zhongcheng were different. She really could not do anything to them nor did she dare to.

“Don’t worry. If the Empress or my father were aware of what you’d seen, it’s likely that Madam Chen wouldn’t be able to live until now…” Yu Yunxi said sarcastically.

“You mean…” Aunt Qing looked at Yu Yunxi in shock.

Yu Yunxi did not say anything else; she was lost in her thoughts.

No matter what secrets the Empress and Yu Zhongcheng had, Yu Yunxi could only confirm one thing: the Empress and Yu Zhongcheng were unaware that Madam Chen was aware of their secrets. Madam Chen naturally did not dare to say anything. This was also the reason Madam Chen wanted to kill Aunt Qing.

At this time, Qian Jiao’s voice rang from outside.

“County Princess, we’ve arrived.”

Yu Yunxi quickly got off the carriage.

Aunt Qing hesitated for a moment. In the end, she got off the carriage as well.

Qian Jiao glared at Aunt Qing and said threateningly, “From now on, you’ll stay by my master’s side as a servant. Address her as ‘County Princess’. Don’t have any other thoughts. Otherwise, I’ll kill you immediately.”

“Yes.”

Aunt Qing barely managed to calm down. She had thought about it a lot. She could tell that Yu Yunxi was very different from the past; it was as though Yu Yunxi had been reborn. Yu Yunxi’s thoughts were now hard to guess, and even Qian Jiao, a follower, had an extraordinary aura.

…

After getting cleaned, Aunt Qing’s appearance was finally revealed. She looked much older than she did five years ago, and her gaze looked much fiercer than before. At this moment, she was walking behind Yu Yunxi, and she asked, “County Princess, what are we going to do now?”

“I’ll bring you around so you can familiarize yourself with the residence. It’s been five years. It’s not just the people who have changed…” Yu Yunxi replied without any inflection in her voice.

They were about to walk to a pond in the residence when a childish voice said arrogantly, “Hey, you, come over here!”

Yu Yunxi looked over and saw a fat boy, who looked about ten years old, pointing at her with one hand while the other was placed on his waist. He was dressed very luxuriously. His expression was fierce, and his eyes were very small. Based on his demeanor, it was not difficult to tell that he was used to being spoiled.

Aunt Qing looked at the child for a moment. It took a moment before realization finally dawned on her. She said in a hushed voice, “County Princess, he’s Concubine Gao’s son. He’s grown a lot since I last saw him.”

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. Then, she finally remembered the other party.

‘Concubine Gao’s son? Oh, he’s my Eighth Brother…’

Concubine Gao gave birth to a daughter and a son. They were the Sixth Young Miss and the Eighth Young Master.

Although Old Madam Zhou disliked granddaughters born from concubines, she doted on her grandson as though he was a peerless treasure. For this reason, the Eighth Young Master, Yu Pinghua, was pampered by Old Madam Zhou to the point of lawlessness.

Five years ago, Yu Pinghua was only five years old, but he already knew how to instruct people to bully Yu Yunxi.

After a brief moment, Yu Yunxi looked away, ignoring Yu Pinghua.

Upon seeing this, Yu Pinghua cursed, “Didn’t you hear me calling out to you? You’re just a lowly daughter born without a mother. Your lowly mother didn’t want you, and now the Prince Regent doesn’t want you!”

Yu Yunxi stopped in her tracks, and her eyes shone with killing intent. She hated it the most when people insulted her mother. She took a deep breath before she turned around and quickly made her way toward the pavilion where Yu Pinghua was standing.

Yu Pinghua was not frightened. He continued to shout, “What? Are you angry? My mother’s right. Your mother was shameless, and you’re just as shameless as your mother! You came back to snatch our family’s property and even wanted to snatch the Prince Regent from Second Sister!”

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to teach Yu Pinghua a lesson, Yu Pinghua suddenly rushed out and jumped into the pond.

At this moment, Concubine Gao screamed and rushed over.

At the same time, Old Madam Zhou rushed over as well with a group of people. She shouted, “Hurry up and save the Eighth Young Master!”

Old Madam Zhou clutched her chest as she watched, feeling distressed.

In just a moment, Yu Pinghua was brought out of the pond. He exchanged a look with Concubine Gao, and both of their eyes flashed. Following that, he rolled on the ground and cried, “Mother, Grandmother, you have to seek justice for me! This b*tch wanted to kill me!”

As Yu Pinghua spoke, he pointed at Yu Yunxi.

Concubine Gao burst into tears immediately. She fell to her knees in front of Old Madam Zhou and said tearfully, “Yu Yunxi, how can you try to drown Pinghua? He’s my son. I carried him for nine months and raised him with great difficulty! You vicious woman. Old Madam, you must stand up for us.”

Old Madam Zhou was breathing heavily. She hit her cane on the ground and scolded, “Yu Yunxi, how did the family raise such a vicious person like you? No one would care if you lost your rotten life outside. Why did you have to return to harm the Yu family’s bloodline?”

At this time, Yu Wanrong, who was wearing a white veil, had also come over. She shook her head, looking very disappointed as she said, “Sister, this time… you’re really too much…”

Madam Chen chimed in righteously, “You’re a County Princess now so everyone in the Yu family indulges you. However, I didn’t expect you to lay your hands on your own younger brother. When the Prime Minister returns, I’ll definitely report this matter to him.”

At this moment, a thin figure said weakly, “Old Madam, Madam, could there be some misunderstanding? The Eldest Miss wouldn’t go so far as to murder the Eighth Young Master, right?”

Yu Yunxi looked over and saw a sickly woman. However, despite looking sickly, it did not detract from her youthful and beautiful appearance.

‘Concubine Su?’

Back then, Concubine Su had a good relationship with Yu Yunxi’s mother. When her mother was in trouble, Concubine Su had also begged for mercy on her mother’s behalf. As a result, she was later targeted by Madam Chen and fell seriously ill. Due to her illness, she did not leave her courtyard for a long time. Previously, when Yu Yun paid respect to Old Madam Zhou, Concubine Su was not present.

“Concubine Su, since you don’t have a son, you naturally don’t understand how I feel. This is my son. I’ll fight to death with whoever dares to hurt my son!” Concubine Gao said, insulting Concubine Su.

“Concubine Su, there’s no need for you to intervene since you don’t have children. There’s no need to wait for the Prime Minister. I’ll deal with Yunxi according to the family rules now!” Old Madam Zhou said angrily as she hit her cane on the ground, “Men, get her!”

Everyone seemed to have already been prepared. The servants rushed toward Yu Yunxi immediately. However, before they could even touch the hem of her robes, they were kicked to the ground by Qian Jiao.

Yu Yunxi swept her cold gaze across everyone and asked, “You said that I tried to drown Pinghua?”

Then, before everyone could react, Yu Yunxi walked over quickly and snatched Yu Pinghua away from Concubine Gao. Her movements were swift. She carried him easily as though she was carrying a chick before she threw him into the pond.

“Mother, Grandmother! Save me!” Yu Pinghua cried out. He was very bad at swimming. At this moment, he could struggle and shout in panic.

Yu Pinghua struggled to keep his head above water, but Yu Yun crouched down and pushed his head into the water as she said, “I’ll show you now what it’s like to drown him.”
