Chapter 198 Drive away
Prince Duan: "I heard that Lady Li came to cause trouble, so I came here specifically to support your uncle!"
Oh I got it!
Zisu said gratefully, "Thank you! It's good that you've come. Maybe Lord Li will also come with his son and daughter-in-law later. I was really worried that my uncle wouldn't be able to handle it!"
Prince Duan: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to lay a finger on your uncle! Li Changge's father and brothers, if they still want to serve in the court, won't dare to act recklessly!"
Zisu: "Madam Li is such a troublemaker. She even wants to marry her second daughter to Uncle within a hundred days! I'm very worried that if Uncle gets tricked, he won't be able to marry Li Yunge even if he doesn't want to! What should we do? Uncle must never get involved with the Li family's daughters! If he does, his life will be over!"
Prince Duan: "Don't worry, during this time, I will give Lord Yu a shadow guard to protect him secretly! In addition, I will have Lichun stay in the Yu residence temporarily to keep an eye on the Li family. As soon as there is any disturbance, we will arrest them immediately!"
Zisu: "Thank you so much, you've really thought of everything!"
He's so generous to give his uncle a shadow guard! You have to understand, Prince Duan only has five shadow guards in total. Shadow guards are extremely rare; they not only need exceptional martial arts skills, but also absolute loyalty to their master, and would never betray him.
However, Zisu only felt at ease knowing her uncle had a bodyguard by his side. Her uncle must be heartbroken and devastated by Li's passing. After all, they were husband and wife, and had shared sweet moments and even had a child. It was impossible for him not to be sad and grieving.
When this man is heartbroken, he inevitably drinks, sometimes even getting drunk. When drunk, he's easily tricked into traps without even realizing it. If Li Yunge sets a trap and forces him into marriage, he'll have no choice but to marry her.
The Yu residence was in complete disarray.
Zisu then said to Madam Yu, "Grandma, this mansion is in such a mess, with the Li family coming and going. How about this, you take Zhen'er to stay at the General's Mansion for a while? That would be better for Zhen'er. The environment here is really terrible, I'm worried something might happen!"
Madam Yu: "Very well, you're right. I was just having the same worry. I'll take Zhen'er to the General's Mansion right now!"
Zhen'er is Yu Zhe's daughter.
Zisu: "Wait a moment, I'll go tell my uncle!"
Grandma: "Okay, hurry back, I'll pack my things first!"
Zisu found Yu Zhe in the front yard. He was being lectured by several members of the Li family, and he was in a very bad mood.
Zisu shouted, "What are you doing? As officials of the imperial court, how can you be so despicable!" She then said to Hongcha, "Quickly go and summon the Prince, so he can see the faces of these people!"
Hongcha replied loudly, "Yes, this servant will go right away!" and turned to leave quickly.
The Li father and son were startled and immediately stopped their harassment and scolding of Yu Zhe. Lord Li said to Zisu, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again! His Highness is here, please say a good word for me. From now on, I will never dare to make things difficult for Lord Yu again!"
Zisu snorted coldly: "I see you all won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, and even when you do, you're not afraid. Your daughter's death was entirely her own fault; she brought it upon herself! Do you think my uncle felt good about his wife's passing? How did your daughter treat my grandmother before she died?"
She dared to slap my grandmother in public over the smallest thing. How did my uncle treat her afterward? He just ignored her completely. He neither scolded nor hit her; he simply reasoned with her. My cousin doesn't even dare to go home to avoid getting in her way. It's pitiful; he's such a young child, yet he can't even go home.
But what did we say to her? Nothing. My cousin never mentioned her, not even a single unpleasant word. My maternal grandmother was her mother-in-law, and how did she treat my grandmother? In the end, my maternal grandmother moved to the General's Mansion. The Yu family became powerful because of her; she could do whatever she wanted. My uncle never said a word against her.
Now, she was just strolling in the garden, and she tripped and tumbled down the steps. What does that have to do with my uncle? You're all throwing mud at my uncle for no reason, thinking the Yu family has no one to blame? Let me tell you, Yu Zhe is my own uncle, and in my heart, he's almost like my father! If you ever dare lay a finger on him, I'll make sure your Li family regrets it!"
Lord Li listened to her respectfully and nodded respectfully: "This humble official understands. This humble official will never dare to do it again. It is all this humble official's fault. This humble official is guilty!"
Zisu snorted coldly: "Whether you're guilty or not, you know perfectly well in your heart. If a real investigation were conducted, you certainly wouldn't be so clean! For now, I'm giving your Li family some face for the sake of my poor little cousin. However, this is only once. If you dare to bully my uncle again, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Lord Li's heart pounded wildly, and he was filled with regret.
He acted so impulsively today! In a moment of rage, he completely forgot that Yu Zhe's niece was the Princess of Yulin, the beloved consort of Prince Duan! And Prince Duan was a powerful figure who could not be trifled with! Anyone who offended Prince Duan was unlikely to have a good time.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong today. I'll take these troublemakers from the Li family and leave, leaving only two honest and law-abiding people behind!" Lord Li said respectfully, lowering his posture to the lowest possible level, almost to the point of groveling.
Zisu waved her hand: "Do whatever you want. As long as you don't go against my uncle, I don't care what you do! Also, from now on, my little cousin has nothing to do with your Li family. Tell your wife not to even think about taking my little cousin away; she belongs to the Yu family!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Prince Duan appeared in his line of sight.
Zisu quickly went over and said, "It's alright, let's go! No one in the Yu residence dares to cause trouble for the time being."
Lord Li quickly replied, "No, no, then I will take my men back."
Zisu waved her hand: "Let's go. Just don't let any troublemakers stay. I won't interfere with anything else!"
Before Prince Duan could approach, Lord Li hurriedly led his men and slunk away as if fleeing for their lives.
Prince Duan walked over and frowned, saying, "What are the Li family doing? They act like they've seen a tiger when they see me."
Zisu: "It's because you did something wrong. A bunch of people were bullying my uncle just now. It was really shameless. I asked someone to call you over to intimidate these people. Who would have thought that they would run away in fear before you even got close?"
Prince Duan couldn't help but chuckle: "Am I that scary?"
Zisu: "A guilty person will naturally be afraid when they see you!"
Yu Zhe was in a very sorry state. He said to Zisu with a sigh, "Luckily you came, otherwise, Uncle would have been overpowered and beaten by this person." Although he would not obediently let himself be beaten, he was helpless against the overwhelming number of people.
Zisu: "Uncle, the Yu residence is in a mess and very noisy right now. Why don't we have Grandma take my little cousin back to the General's Mansion? Once things calm down here, we can have Grandma bring my little cousin back. By the way, Yu Han should also stay at the General's Mansion. I don't want him to keep vigil for Li Shi!"
Yu Zhe: "That's fine. The Li family has never done anything for Yu Han and has not fulfilled their responsibilities as a mother at all. It's understandable that Yu Han didn't come to keep vigil, and the Li family members didn't dare to say anything more."
Zisu: "Thank you, Uncle, for thinking of Han'er." If Yu Han were to keep vigil for Li Shi tonight, he would definitely feel very depressed and hold a grudge. This child is quite sensitive and harbors deep resentment towards Li Shi; she didn't want him to be unhappy.
In Zisu's heart, Yu Han was no different from her own younger brother. She was willing to do everything in her power to protect him.
Yu Zhe then said, "Now that the troublemakers from the Li family have left, you don't need to stay here anymore. Please take your grandmother and child to the General's Mansion."
Zisu: "Okay, I understand, Uncle, please don't worry! I'll leave Luo Jianming and Aunt Gu here. If you need any help, just have Luo Jianming come to me!"
Yu Zhe: "I understand. Don't worry about your uncle. After the Li family's commotion, your uncle actually feels a bit better and isn't as upset. He'll be taking leave from work these next few days to handle Li's funeral arrangements before going back to the government office. So, you have nothing to worry about. Unless there's something special, you don't need to come here anymore. If you have time, go visit your grandmother at the General's Mansion!"
Zisu: "Uncle, don't worry, I understand! Then, I'll take Grandma and my little cousin to the General's Mansion right away!"
Prince Duan: "I'll go with you!"
Zisu nodded, and the two of them went to see Old Madam Yu together.
Zisu: "Grandma, Uncle agreed. He asked me to take you and my little cousin to the General's Mansion!"
Madam Yu: "Okay, thank you for your help!"
Zisu: "Look at what Grandma is saying! She's my own granddaughter, why be so polite! What trouble is it? It's my duty to do something for Grandma!"
Accompanied by Prince Duan, Zisu escorted her grandmother and younger cousin away from the Yu residence. The few members of the Li family who remained dared not utter a sound. Those who stayed were all honest people; not a single troublemaker remained.
When Madam Yu saw Old Madam Yu and Yu Zhen, she finally felt relieved: "Mother and Zhen'er are here! That's good! That's good! I was just about to send someone to the Yu residence to bring you here! The Yu residence must be very noisy and chaotic at this time, right?"
Zhen'er is Yu Zhen, Zi Su's younger cousin, Yu Zhe's newborn daughter, and Yu Han's half-sister.
Madam Yu sighed, "Yes, who can argue with that? A lot of people from the Li family came and caused trouble! Luckily, Zisu and the Prince were there, otherwise your second brother would have suffered a great loss!"
Madam Yu was taken aback: "What? The Li family actually has the nerve to cause trouble? Are you kidding me? What kind of family are they?!"
Zisu: "Yes, that Lord Li actually punched and kicked my uncle and verbally abused him. If I hadn't used the prince to scare those people, my uncle would have been in a terrible state! Alas, I never imagined that the Li family would have such a ruthless side."
When they were set up on the blind date, she even sent someone to investigate, and the information she received was almost entirely positive. She never imagined that this family had such a despicable side behind the scenes. You can know a person's face but not their heart; next time her uncle gets married, she'll definitely investigate the other party's entire family history.
We can't make the same mistake twice!
My uncle really made a huge mistake by marrying Li! Luckily, Li gave birth to a daughter, not a son, otherwise, who knows how much fighting would have ensued between her and Yu Han!
Zisu said to Madam Yu, "Grandma, please raise Zhen'er yourself, and it's best to keep the Li family away from her."
Madam Yu: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep Zhen'er by my side. Unless it's an extremely urgent matter, I will never leave her side! I will absolutely not allow the Li family to see Zhen'er. She is my Yu family's granddaughter, and I will never allow the Li family to have the opportunity to sow discord in front of Zhen'er!"
Madam Yu: "Mother, if you ever need anything in the future, you can bring Zhen'er to the General's Mansion, and I will keep an eye on her for you. In any case, we must never give the Li family any chance to get close to Zhen'er. As long as we keep a close eye on her and raise her well, she will definitely be close to the Yu family in the future, and not to the Li family!"
