Turning his head to look at the man behind him, Ji Yunkai laughed helplessly.
"I wanted to ask you if you were confessing to me." This was indeed what she had wanted to ask at the beginning, but now that he said it, it always lacked a bit of the flavor from back then.
Ji Yunkai nodded, her body moving as she sat in the prince's embrace. She extended her arms to embrace the prince: "So, Your Highness … Do you care about me? "
"Cough cough …" The King did not expect Ji Yunkai to suddenly ask this question, and immediately blushed, choking on her saliva, causing Ji Yunkai to laugh non-stop. She joked even more: "Your Highness, you still haven't answered my question?"
The prince had an uncomfortable look on his face as he stiffly changed the topic, "That's right, I've investigated about the Yun Family. Have you found out something about your mother? Do you want to hear about it? "
He had investigated this matter very early on, but he was unsure about Ji Yunkai's attitude towards her mother, and had never mentioned it.
Previously, when Feng Qi and Fei Xiao Chai probed him, they made the Duke understand that Ji Yunkai did not care about her mother as much as he thought she did, and thus planned to find an opportunity to tell Ji Yunkai about the incident.
"Your Highness, this matter is not urgent. Let's continue with the previous topic." It was such a rare opportunity to take liberties with the Duke, so how could Ji Yunkai be willing to let it go?
It was a pity that the prince had always only chosen not to speak. It was fine for Ji Yunkai to ask him what she wanted him to do.
Of course, the duke would never admit that he couldn't say it. He pretended that he didn't hear anything and continued to speak about the Yun Family, "My people found out that your mother, Yun Jing, was the Yun Family's external daughter. The previous Sky Doctor Valley's Valley Master was her grandfather. She grew up in the Sky Doctor Valley, and only after she was sixteen did she get accepted into the Yun Family and get married in less than a month. "
"The marriage alliance between the Yun and Ji Clans is about my mother?" Ji Yunkai knew that, but she still followed the words of the Duke.
That kind of thing... There was a need for atmosphere and for people to cooperate. If the prince clearly did not cooperate, it would be useless no matter how much she tried to coax him.
"No, she's talking about the Yun family's third young miss, the only direct descendant of the Yun family, the current Madam Ji. However, she disappeared a month before her marriage and was replaced by your mother. Your mother never showed up in front of anyone and was married into the Ji Family as her direct daughter, so no one will doubt her. " The Shang Jia family was always so unscrupulous. Using a concubine as the direct daughter, and using a concubine as the direct daughter, the Yun family would definitely do it.
"So, my stepmother. Why did the direct descendant of the Yun Family go missing at that time? " Having read too much about this bloody dog incident, Ji Yunkai knew that there must be a lawsuit in this.
"The Yun Family's explanation to the Ji Family is that your mother used medicine halfway to bring out the Yun Family's direct daughter, sent her to the village, and then married into the Ji Palace on her own." Other people might find it embarrassing to mention these dirty things in front of Ji Yunkai, but the King did not feel any pressure.
He had seen too many dirty things in this world, the Yun Family was nothing.
"In fact?" Ji Yunkai realized that she wasn't the least bit angry.
As expected, she was also cold-blooded. Towards a creature like her mother, she really did not have any feelings.
"Escape. The direct daughter of the Yun Family ran off with a child from a noble family. But that young noble was only playing around. The two of them had not even been out for a month, and that young noble had already abandoned the direct daughter of the Yun family, and had no choice but to return to the Yun family. " When the Duke mentioned the Yun Family, he did not carry any personal feelings towards them, and only stated a single fact.
When Ji Yunkai heard this, she could already guess it, "In order to cover up the scandal of the direct daughter's elopement, as well as to get this direct daughter out of the family, my mother became a tragedy. She was forced to marry on behalf of his wife before she became a concubine who persecuted his daughter? The Yun Family told Ji Family about this matter. Ji Family was unable to accept the existence of my mother, so he had no choice but to feign death and leave? "
That's about right. Lord Ji should know about your mother faking her death. He tacitly agreed. I believe he still has feelings for your mother. As a man, the prince could guess Lord Ji's mood.
Furthermore, even if he did, it would be impossible. As long as the Yun Family exposed their Yun Realm identity, Ji Family would become a joke.
Ji Family's Matriarch definitely could not be an outer chamber girl. If word of this spread, it would become a joke, and the marriage alliance between the Ji and Yun Clans could not go wrong, so …
The Ji and Yun families had sacrificed Ji Yunkai's mother, marrying the daughter into the Ji Family as their second wife.
To the Ji Family and the Yun Family, this was just to clear up the chaos; but to Ji Yunkai's mother, this was indeed a lifetime's worth of harm.
These dukes did not say anything to Ji Yunkai, but he knew that Ji Yunkai must have thought of something.
Ji Yunkai's mother was indeed innocent, but Ji Yunkai was even more innocent. In a way, Ji Yunkai's mother was a heartless woman …
Under the circumstances, if she had brought Ji Yunkai away, it might have been possible, but that woman had actually kept Ji Yunkai here.
Even though she knew that the entire Ji Family would be hostile towards her daughter, she still chose to leave by herself, leaving her young daughter behind.
His Royal Highness could not understand her actions, just as he could not understand his mother's actions.
However, even at the most difficult moment, his mother did not abandon him. She even knew that he was in danger at Beichen's place, and mustered up her courage to bring him out of Beichen's place.
Compared to Ji Yunkai, he seemed to be slightly happier. At the very least, his mother, seeing that he was her beloved and the son of a man, still had a bit of true love for him …
