“Of course.

Yu Yunxi quickly nodded in agreement. She felt inexplicably close to the old man.

When they arrived at the backyard, Manager Liu could no longer hold it in. With tears on his face, he quickly kneeled in front of Yu Yunxi and said, “Little Master, I finally met you.”

“Manager Liu, there’s no need to be so polite,” Yu Yunxi said, quickly helping the old man up.

“You…”

Yu Yunxi felt a little helpless when she saw the other party crying.

Manager Liu also knew that he had lost his composure so he quickly wiped his tears away. He smiled and said, “I watched His Highness grow up since he was young. Later on, I helped him manage Full Moon Pavilion. Little Master, you look very much like Madam, but your eyes and eyebrows look very much like those of His Highness.”

‘Madam?’

Yu Yunxi was slightly stunned. Although her mother did not officially marry her father in the end, she had long considered them married. The feeling of being acknowledged warmed her heart immediately.

“Manager Liu, my mother and my father…”Google seaʀᴄh ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

Yu Yunxi wanted to ask about her father and her mother back then.

However, before she finished speaking, Manager Liu said anxiously, “Little Master, you must not listen to the nonsense of those people outside! Your mother definitely wouldn’t do anything to harm the Emperor Emeritus. She was very kind, and many of us have received her grace!”

“Manager Liu, don’t be anxious. I grew up with my mother. I know very well what kind of person she was,” Yu Yunxi quickly said.

Manager Liu sighed in relief upon hearing this. Although about twenty years had passed, the people in the capital were still gossiping about this matter. He was worried that Yu Yunxi would misunderstand her mother after listening to what people said.

“Little Master, don’t misunderstand your father. He really loves you and Princess Changning. After that incident back then, he sent a large group of people to look for her. He even went to several countries… B-but, but one day, she sent him a letter, asking him to stop looking for her. Otherwise, she would really disappear. She also told him not to force her to hate him. His Highness was heartbroken, so he went to the border city and never returned, ” Manager Liu as his eyes teared up again. He was there at that time, and he knew how dispirited and sad the King of Zhenbei was.

Yu Yunxi was very sad as well. She knew her mother had done all that because of the Xiao family. After all, the husbands of women from the Xiao family were always killed by the Xiao family. Her mother did not want her father to be hurt so she left her country and married Yu Zhongcheng, thinking that the Xiao family would change their target.

“However, no matter how ruthless the Princess’ words were, His Highness has always kept her in his heart. He found out that she was in Tianxia so he would send people to check on her situation every once in a while. Each time, the report would say that Princess Changning was very happy and living well, ” Manager Liu said.

“Five years ago, His Highness heard that something happened to the Prince

Regent of Tianxia and he was buried with his Princess Consort. Later on, His Highness met the Prince Regent on the battlefield, and they spoke to each other. It was at that time that His Highness found out you were the Prince

Regent’s Princess Consort and that… that your mother had long passed away,” Manager Liu said. He was so overcome with grief when he spoke that he staggered back and almost fell.

Yu Yunxi quickly caught Manager Liu, preventing him from falling.

“Princess Changning was such a good person. Why, why was her life so bitter?” Manager Liu said sadly.

Yu Yunxi was also very sad.

‘That’s right. Mother was such a good person. She and Father loved each other so much. Why was the heavens so cruel to them?’

“Previously, His Highness always thought that Princess Changning and Yu Zhongcheng were truly in love. It was only five years ago that we found that you and Princess Changning suffered so much. His Highness sent people to look for you at that time, but you were already gone. It wasn’t until three months ago that we knew you had been sent back to Xichu,” Manager Liu explained as he wiped his tears away.

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly.

‘The time I was missing… For the first two years I was lying low in the King of Xinan’s Residence to recuperate after giving birth to Junjin. It makes sense that they couldn’t find me. However, in the following three years, I led the troops to war on behalf of the King of Xinan’s Residence. Many people had seen my face at that time. Why couldn’t Father find me at that time? Is Manager Liu lying? Perhaps Father doesn’t care about me at all and didn’t bother to look for me? No, impossible. Although I’ve never met Father, I have a strong feeling he won’t abandon me or hurt me. Most importantly, Feng Yili had also been looking for me at that time, but he couldn’t find me either… Feng Yili’s network of intelligence is very powerful, and I was obviously in Xinan. Why couldn’t he find me?’

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Yunxi’s gaze darkened. Then, she hurriedly asked, “Wait, Manager Liu. You said Father sent people to Tianxia to check on Mother, but the report said that my mother was living happily?”

“Yes. After His Highness discovered the truth, he felt very guilty. He felt that if he had sensed that something was wrong earlier, your mother wouldn’t have died,” Manager Liu said with a nod.

‘Things are even more complicated than I’d imagined… What exactly happened back then?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression grew solemn.

“In fact, when His Highness heard about what Yu Zhongcheng did to you and Princess Changning, he wanted to wash the Yu Residence with blood, but the Prince Regent of Tianxia actually protected the Yu family! As such, His

Highness never found a chance to make a move!” Manager Liu said angrily.

‘It’s one thing for Little Master to be buried with the Prince Regent, but after Little Master’s accident, he actually protected those beasts!’

The more Manager Liu thought about it, the more he felt that Feng Yili was not a good person.

Yu Yunxi looked embarrassed.

‘Father and Manager Liu must have misunderstood… Alas, it’s not something that can be explained in a short time…’

Back then, Feng Yili only protected the Yu family because he wanted to push the Yu family to the top before pushing them down ruthlessly. After all, letting Yu Zhongcheng and the others lose everything they cherished and die tragically was worse than just death itself.

Manager Liu said through gritted teeth, “Little Master, it’s good that you’re back. The Full Moon Pavilion is left to you by His Highness and Princess Changning. We can’t let those people ruin things again! ”

Yu Yunxi looked at Manager Liu’s white hair with a complicated gaze and said,

“Manager Liu, it’s been hard on you all these years…”

‘Manager Liu must have been treading on thin ice every day since he has to deal with Empress Qin and the Crown Prince…’

Manager Liu said seriously, “Little Master, this is my duty. Over the years, the Empress and the Crown Prince have used Full Moon Pavilion to accumulate wealth, and I’ve kept account of it. I also have evidence..”
