242 Summoned by the Emperor
This letter stunned Ning Yue. It was really too much of a coincidence.
“What a coincidence!” Ning Yue couldn’t help but say.
Yuan Hui smiled. “There are many coincidences. To a certain extent, it’s also a coincidence that we transmigrated.”
“That’s right. There are many coincidences. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be my uncle by blood.” Ning Yue smiled bitterly.
“Isn’t that good? Previously, I said that I would help you test Jiang Ying. He’s sincere to you, so I’ll withdraw the marriage request. But now that you’re my niece, there’s no need to withdraw it!”
Yuan Hui was happy! Didn’t this mean that he had a very legitimate reason to support Ning Yue?
“Uncle Yuan, you…” Ning Yue wanted Yuan Hui not to be so emotional.
“What Uncle Yuan? You should call me Uncle!” Yuan Hui pretended to be angry. “Why? Don’t you want to acknowledge me as your uncle?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant!” Ning Yue hurriedly explained. “It’s just that this news is too unexpected. I couldn’t react for a moment.”
Only then did Yuan Hui’s expression soften. He thought that Ning Yue did not want to acknowledge him. “It’s fine. The marriage between Russia and the Great Yun Nation will continue. I’ll do the rest.”
At the thought of this, Yuan Hui immediately had a good idea.
“Alright, go back first. I’ll get busy.” As he spoke, Yuan Hui turned around and left.
Ning Yue took a deep breath and went to Jiang Ying’s house to look for him. She felt that her brain was not working enough.
She had never heard of Liu Yun being the adopted daughter of the Liu family. On the contrary, in her memory, the Liu family doted on Liu Yun very much.
Also, was Madam Liu’s disappearance an accident or man-made?
If it was an accident, it was too much of a coincidence.
If it was man-made, who would target the Liu family?
With her mind filled with thoughts, Ning Yue arrived at Jiang Ying’s room.
Seeing the worried Ning Yue, Jiang Ying’s heart ached. He hurriedly pulled Ning Yue to sit down. “Yueyue, what’s wrong?”
“Jiang Ying, there are too many coincidences in the world. Yesterday, I just found out that my mother is a child of the Liu family. Today, I found out that my mother is the princess of Russia.”
“What?” Jiang Ying was stunned. Was Madam Liu a child of the Liu family or a princess of Russia?
“Sigh, Yuan Hui told me when he came to look for me just now.” As she spoke, Ning Yue told Jiang Ying what Yuan Hui had just told her.
Jiang Ying was also very shocked. His first reaction was to say, “We have to investigate what happened back then. From the time the princess of Russia went missing until your adoptive mother disappeared, there must be something we don’t know.”
“That’s what I thought, but it’s been a long time. There’s no way to investigate these things. My uncle has already sent someone to investigate. I don’t know if they’ll come up with anything.”
Ning Yue sighed as she spoke. She was very melancholic. She felt that these things had exceeded her expectations, as if an invisible net had wrapped around her tightly.
“Yueyue, this is the territory of Great Yun Kingdom after all. No matter how powerful your uncle is, his forces can’t penetrate. I’ll try my best to investigate. Trust me,” Jiang Ying said.
Previously, he did not investigate much because he felt that the matter could be delayed a little. After all, Ning Yue had only asked her to investigate Madam Liu’s background.
Now that so many problems had been uncovered, he had to investigate carefully!
After Ning Yue returned, Jiang Ying sent Ah Da and Ah Er out.
“Master, if you send both of us out, who will be protecting you?” Ah Da knelt on one knee. In his eyes, his master’s safety was the most important thing.
“Don’t worry, there’s still Ah San and Ah Si. We can transfer them over. They’re not as experienced as you, so you have to go,” Jiang Ying said.
Ah Da and Ah Er looked at each other and hesitated for a long time until Jiang Ying said, “I’m not asking for your opinion. This is an order! You have to carry it out!”
“If you can’t do it, pack your things and leave.” Jiang Ying was a little angry.
Seeing this, Ah Da and Er left.
Five days after Old Master Ning’s birthday, the capital received a huge piece of news.
Before this news arrived, Prince Jin planned to return to Laifu Village after settling his work. Before he could return, the emperor secretly summoned him.
The place where he was summoned to was still the meeting hall. It was very formal.
“Imperial Brother, haven’t we already handed the court affairs to the crown prince? Why did you suddenly summon me?” He kept feeling that the emperor was up to no good.
