When the maid said that Father Yu had come to visit, Su Li was momentarily taken aback.
She had no dealings with the Yu family. She had heard about the Yu Ji Rouge Shop, but what business would Father Yu have with her?
Although she didn't know the reason for his visit, Su Li still led the maid towards the front hall.
The moment Su Li appeared, Father Yu, who had been seated, immediately rose and performed a deep bow to her.
"Greetings, Princess Changning!"
Su Li walked to the upper seat and sat down, smiling gently. "Lord Yu, there's no need for such formality. Please be seated."
"Thank you, Princess!"
After he sat down, Su Li got straight to the point and asked, "Lord Yu, what is the reason for seeking me out?"
Father Yu stood up and cupped his hands. "Princess, I believe you are aware of the matter concerning the Yu Ji powder shop. I have come today to implore you to examine those individuals whose faces were disfigured. They are adamant that if their faces are not restored, my daughter will remain in prison. These individuals are the wives and daughters of court officials, and imperial physicians have examined them, but to no avail. I have heard that your medical skills surpass those of the imperial physicians, so..."
Su Li chuckled. "You want me to help you cure those people?"
Father Yu's eyes were filled with pleading as he nodded.
"Does Lord Yu know whose establishment is opposite the Yu Ji shop opened by your daughter? Every one of her shops is across from a Su Ji. Is Lord Yu perhaps seeking the wrong person?" Su Li continued to smile, but her words caused the other man's expression to change.
Father Yu quickly knelt down and said in a deep voice, "I beg the Princess to forgive my daughter this once. She has learned her lesson and will surely reform! Once she is released, she will never open a shop again. I will bring her to kowtow and apologize to you personally, begging for your compassion. I am already old, and she is my only daughter. I beg the Princess to show mercy..."
"You don't need to say any more. I am not a bodhisattva, and I do not repay virtue with benevolence. You may leave," Su Li refused flatly.
If you don't repay virtue with virtue, how will virtue be repaid?
Seeing her resolute expression, Father Yu was about to plead further when Si Qin stepped forward and said, "Lord Yu, please!"
Father Yu's face turned ashen as he slowly rose.
"I have troubled the Princess. I shall take my leave."
Looking at his graying hair and hunched back, Su Li thought of her own father in her past life.
"Lord Yu, you could try seeking out Doctor Changchun at Xinglin Hall." Su Li had softened her heart after all.
Father Yu's eyes lit up, and he turned back, bowing deeply to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Princess!"
Su Li sighed. Having a troublesome daughter truly made things difficult for parents.
In her previous life, hadn't she herself constantly caused problems for her father?
...
Sixth Prince's Estate.
Ye Bai hurried into the study, a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness, please take a look."
Jun Hui took the letter and glanced at it. "This is addressed to the Crown Prince. How did it end up in your hands?"
Ye Bai said in a cold tone, "When Liangzhou was investigated, Master suspected an internal traitor, didn't he? Your subordinate dispatched men to monitor all our strategists and ministers, vowing to find the traitor! We didn't expect to actually gain something. This letter was intercepted outside Zhao Huai'an's courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Jun Hui quickly tore open the envelope. Upon seeing the content and the handwriting, his face darkened.
He slammed the letter onto the desk with one hand.
"I thought he was talented and treated him not poorly! How dare he betray us! No wonder when I asked Su Yue to transcribe Su Yi's evidence of his crimes, he used the excuse that Su Yue's hand was injured. Where in this world are there such coincidences!" Jun Hui gritted his teeth.
Ye Bai asked, "What should we do now?"
Jun Hui's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "We'll lie low for now. Since we know who the mole is, the matter will be easier to handle."
"Yes!"
