Chapter 359 General Manager
It only took Du Yunsheng two days to reach Fuling City.
She looked at the towering tower at the city gate and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
This ancient city carries too many memories for her.
There were already people waiting at the city gate.
When the envoy of Princess Jin saw Du Yunsheng, he hurried forward and bowed, "Miss Du, the princess is waiting in the city, please follow me."
Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, followed the messenger through the bustling streets, and arrived at the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
Although this palace is not as luxurious as the imperial city, it also has a certain majesty. Du Yunsheng thought to herself that this was her former home.
Walking into the palace, Du Yunsheng immediately felt a friendly atmosphere. She saw Princess Jin, the woman who had raised her, now looking a little vicissitudes of life.
When Princess Jin saw Du Yunsheng, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hurried forward and held her hand: "Yunsheng, you are finally back."
Du Yunsheng smiled, but there was a hint of moisture in her eyes: "Princess, I'm back."
At this time, people in the palace came out one after another and saluted Du Yunsheng.
Du Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh that everything here was so familiar, as if she had never left.
That night, Princess Jin held a banquet for Du Yunsheng.
During the banquet, Du Yunsheng talked with everyone in the palace and laughed continuously. However, in this joyful atmosphere, Du Yunsheng noticed something strange.
She discovered that there seemed to be something hidden in Princess Jin's eyes.
In the process of talking with everyone, she also discovered some subtle changes, which made her suspicious.
It was late at night, and Du Yunsheng was walking alone in the corridor of the palace. The moonlight shining on her made her look even lonelier.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of her. It was her good friend and maid in the palace, Luluo.
Luoluo looked at Du Yunsheng, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes: "Miss Du, there are some things I think I should tell you."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Luluo, I know what you want to say. But no matter what, I will find out the truth."
Luoluo nodded and told the secret in her heart. It turned out that in recent years, the situation inside and outside the palace had become increasingly tense. In order to protect the palace, Princess Jin had to deal with various forces. In the process, she had to make some concessions.
After hearing this, Du Yunsheng's heart tightened.
Princess Jin did this for the sake of peace in the palace. But she also understood that this peace was temporary and would explode one day.
The next day, Du Yunsheng found Princess Jin, and the two sat in the garden and talked face to face.
"Princess, I heard what Luluo said. I know you did this for the peace of the palace. But I'm worried that if this continues, the crisis in the palace will only get bigger and bigger."
Princess Jin sighed: "Yun Sheng, I know you care about the palace. But I can no longer control the current situation. I can only delay as much as possible and wait for the right opportunity."
Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with determination: "Princess, I will help you. I will do my best to help the palace survive this crisis."
Princess Jin looked at Du Yunsheng, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Yunsheng, thank you. But I can't let you take risks. The dangers involved are beyond your imagination."
Du Yunsheng smiled and said, "Princess, I know it's dangerous. But I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome this crisis."
……
"It's over, it's over. We have offended Prince Jing's Mansion and will be in trouble soon."
Xu Ruyi sighed, her face gloomy, she looked at the sky outside the window, her heart full of worries. At this time, footsteps came from far away in Prince Jing's mansion, the door curtain rolled up, and a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes walked in. It was Du Yunsheng.
Du Yunsheng's appearance immediately made Xu Ruyi restrain her expression. She hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Princess, you are here."
Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes, but still maintained a dignified demeanor: "Ruyi, you don't have to be so polite. I heard from the servants that you have been in a bad mood recently. Is there anything on your mind?"
Xu Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Princess, we offended Prince Jing's Mansion a few days ago, and I'm worried that there will be bad consequences."
Du Yunsheng smiled gently, with a look of tolerance in his eyes: "I already know about this matter. In fact, you are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are those who do not know the truth. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
Xu Ruyi felt a little relieved after hearing this, but she was still worried: "Princess, what should we do next?"
Du Yunsheng sat down on the chair, motioned Xu Ruyi to sit down as well, and then slowly said: "I have already made a plan for this matter. You just need to do your work with peace of mind and don't worry too much."
As the two were talking, a maid came in with a stack of documents in her hands: "Princess, this is the account book you asked for."
Du Yunsheng took the account book and flipped through it. Xu Ruyi couldn't help but ask, "Princess, are these accounts related to our affairs?"
Du Yunsheng nodded slightly: "Yes, these accounts record the recent expenses in the palace. I want to find out the problem from them."
Xu Ruyi frowned: "Princess, how should we deal with this?"
Du Yunsheng put down the account book and looked at Xu Ruyi firmly: "Ruyi, are you willing to do me a favor?"
Xu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Princess, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Okay, I want you to help me find out the truth of this matter. I believe that after the truth comes out, everything will be solved."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Ruyi's eyes. She didn't expect Du Yunsheng to entrust such an important matter to her.
Xu Ruyi found a secret passage in a corner of the back garden of the palace. She walked in carefully and found a secret room filled with various account books, letters and documents.
Xu Ruyi's eyes widened. She knew that the truth was here. She began to look through the documents, trying to find the key clues.
Just then, Du Yunsheng came in. She looked at Xu Ruyi and said with a smile, "Ruyi, you've worked hard."
Xu Ruyi raised her head, her eyes gleaming with determination: "Princess, I have found the truth. It turns out that all this was deliberately framed by someone."
Du Yunsheng nodded: "Yes, I have guessed it. This person is the steward of the palace, and he wants to take this opportunity to usurp the throne."
Xu Ruyi's eyes flashed with anger: "Princess, what should we do?"
Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Since he already knows the truth, let him pay the price."
Inside Prince Jing's mansion, the night deepened, the candlelight flickered, and reflected on the serious faces of Du Yunsheng and Xu Ruyi. Du Yunsheng's eyes were like ice, while Xu Ruyi clenched his fists with a firm expression.
Du Yunsheng said in a deep voice: "Xu Ruyi, you go and investigate this matter immediately. I want to know all the evidence of this steward's crimes. At the same time, notify the confidants in the mansion and let them be vigilant."
Xu Ruyi took the order and turned to leave. Not long after, she brought back several confidants, all of whom were loyal people in Prince Jing's mansion.
Back in the room, Du Yunsheng sat at the desk, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Go call the butler. I want to interrogate him personally."
