Uncle Yu's chest heaved with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy? Don't have such fantastic ideas again!"
"The fact that our family escaped this time is a sign of mercy from the saints. What you just thought of was a crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you want to kill the whole family?"
Madam Yu was so angry that she even showed mercy outside the law. If she was really merciful, she shouldn't have punished their family. Her beloved second son died, and their whole family was demoted to white sons, and the marriage of several granddaughters was even more difficult.
Shui Piao, people outside are now watching their lively Yu family. What kind of mercy is this?
But she also knew that there was no benefit in confronting the master at this time. The master was pedantic, and this time he was frightened out of his courage by the saint. He did not dare to do this at all. Wealth and wealth are gained in danger, not to mention that this matter is much easier to operate than imagined.
.
The child was sent away just after he was born. Who knows what he looked like?
When the time comes, she will ask someone to find a child who is similar in age and has been adopted, preferably one who looks a bit like the eldest princess.
Since the master does not support her, she can only secretly let her confidants and her family arrange the matter. Her eldest brother is not as timid as the master.
Mrs. Yu twitched her lips, "I was just saying angry words. Dingquan left like this. I can't even hold a proper funeral for him. I feel so uncomfortable."
As she spoke, her tears fell again.
Uncle Yu was also very heartbroken, but he also knew that it was all Dingquan's fault. Apart from the two of them, few in the family were really sad about his death. Because of his involvement, everyone in the other families felt guilty about Dingquan's death.
Quan has a great opinion.
He said: "If you have time, give him a stick of incense."
This can be regarded as the fate of father and son. This is all they can do.
Next, he had to find the child as soon as possible so that he could atone for his sins.
…
The original princess's mansion was now desolate. The servants in the mansion were dismissed after receiving a sum of money. All the properties in Yu Jin's name and those of the former prince-consort were confiscated and rushed into the treasury.
The courtyard where Yu Jin stayed was still surrounded by guards.
Yu Jin only stayed here for five days, but he experienced what it means to live like a year.
On the first day, she was so angry that she threw away the vegetable buns that were brought to her, and even stepped on them several times. Those hateful nuns really stopped giving her food, which made Yu Jin dizzy with hunger.
of.
Although she thought about threatening people with a hunger strike, starvation was too uncomfortable, so she could only force herself to get water from the well.
In the past, she only drank the spring water from Yuquan Mountain. She felt that other water was not clean and sweet, and she could not eat it. But when she was so hungry that stars appeared in front of her eyes, she didn't care about the unclean water. However, several times
Even pouring a bowl of water into her stomach could not relieve the feeling of hunger. Her stomach was as hungry as if there was a fire burning it again.
Yu Jin thought that she wouldn't be dissatisfied with that kind of vegetable steamed buns next time.
There is no need to worry about the green hills without firewood. When she gets out and regains her noble status, she can make those who abused her pay the price.
She is the eldest princess's only daughter, and is considered to be the niece of the emperor. The most they can do is let her suffer a little, and they will not seriously imprison her for the rest of her life.
But after finally waiting until the next day, those vicious old ladies in the palace came to check and found that she had not weeded or plowed the fields, so they took the gruel away to indicate when she would finish it and when she could finish it.
There is food to eat.
Yu Jin was so angry that he scolded them severely, but those people were unmoved.
Yu Jin was afraid that he would really starve to death, so he had no choice but to work in the fields.
After a long time, her hands and feet had blisters. Not only did her hands and feet hurt, but her waist also hurt.
After half a day's hard work, I only got a bowl of watery porridge.
Yu Jin couldn't care less about being disgusted and ate the already cold porridge into his stomach, and then he felt a little alive.
The experiences of the past two days made her deeply understand the difference between common people and nobles. This strengthened her belief that she must restore her original identity as soon as possible. She did not want to be a lowly commoner for the rest of her life and be trampled on by others.
In the next few days, Yu Jin got up to work every day - her work was different every day, so that she could exchange for the meager amount of food to fill her stomach. For five days, she didn't even want to eat, let alone have any meat.
Being full is a luxury.
She finished chopping the wood in the yard, sat on a chair, and looked at her hands with grievance.
While chopping firewood just now, a wooden thorn accidentally pricked her finger, and the swollen part of her finger turned black.
She looked at her fingers in a daze. Half a month ago, how could she have imagined that she would have such a day? At that time, she accidentally touched her fingers, and everyone around her would be punished, and her skin turned red.
One moment, the imperial doctor in the palace may be alerted. Now she feels so uncomfortable, but no one cares about her. She doesn't have enough to eat, doesn't wear well, and doesn't sleep well.
Yu Jin sniffed and couldn't help but shed tears.
Forget about mother and uncle, why didn't father come to help her? Isn't she his most beloved daughter? Father once said that in his heart, she is the most important person, more important than mother. Over the years,
In order to protect her, her father and mother quarreled several times.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Yu Jin quickly turned his head, with hope in his eyes.
Today's meal has been delivered. Generally speaking, we won't open the door to deliver food again. Are we going to let her out?
She saw a grandma with a serious face coming over, holding a few sticks of incense in her hand.
Why give her incense?
Mammy said in a cold tone: "Your Majesty has mercy and allows you to offer incense to your biological father."
Biological father?
It's so good, why do you want to give daddy some incense?
The blood on Yu Jin's face faded, and his voice trembled, "Dad, what's wrong with him?"
Could it be that because her father has ignored her these past few days, there is something wrong with her health?
Mammy said: "The sinner Yu Dingquan, in order to ensure the prosperity of his illegitimate daughter, switched the marriage between his illegitimate daughter Yu Jin and the biological son of the eldest princess, confused the royal bloodline, and deceived the king. His crime is unpardonable."
"His Majesty has sentenced him to death by hanging."
As if she had been hit hard on the head by a thousand-jin stone, Yu Jin's mind had no energy to think and went blank. All the sounds were very far away from her at this moment, and her soul seemed to be withdrawn from her body.
Same thing.
Illegitimate daughter?
Who is the illegitimate daughter she is talking about?
Does the father have an illegitimate daughter outside the home?
Yu Jin subconsciously avoided that speculation, or she was simply unwilling to accept it.
Seeing her dumbfounded look, grandma frowned in disgust, "Yu Jin, please give incense to your father."
"Although he's sorry for the king and the eldest princess, he's the only one who's not sorry for you. If he hadn't swapped you with the young master, how could you, as an illegitimate daughter, become the princess and steal the noble life that shouldn't belong to you."
"No wonder you look nothing like the eldest princess. You look more like your biological mother."
Mammy spoke so clearly that Yu Jin had no choice but to escape.
Her hands and feet were cold, and her lips were trembling, "No, you lied to me!"
"Tell me, who sent you to tell these lies!" She glared at her mother fiercely.
"My mother is the eldest princess, I am not an illegitimate daughter!" Is this a nightmare? She must be having a nightmare, right?
Mammy continued: "Do you know why your identity was exposed? Because you abandoned your nurse Du Ruo, so she also chose to betray you."
After saying these words taught by the saint, the nanny threw the incense in front of her and turned to leave.
