After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 418 Past Events

As a mother herself, Empress Dowager Lu felt a little sympathy when she saw how sad the Princess of Prince Yu was, so she asked in a gentle voice, "But Prince Yu couldn't tolerate the daughter you had with your ex-husband?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yu hurriedly waved her hands and said repeatedly, "No, no, our prince is a very reasonable person."

She wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and then said to Lu Ji: "I will go back and have someone draw a portrait of the Qin girl, and then let the princess identify her. If she is, then the princess is undoubtedly my daughter."

She looked at Lu Ji and said frankly, "If the regent's princess is really my daughter, I don't ask for anything else. I just want to be able to recognize my own daughter. In the future, I can love her more and make up for what I owe her over the years. I will be satisfied."

After hearing what Princess Yu said, Lu Ji turned to look at her, his deep eyes filled with anger and his tone was cold.

He questioned the Princess of Yu: "If Aning is really your biological daughter, do you think you can make up for the suffering and grievances she has suffered in the past?"

The Princess of Prince Yu was stunned again by the question. She looked at Lu Ji stupidly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lu Ji turned his head again, looking forward, and asked: "I just want to ask Princess, why did you abandon Ah Ning in the first place?"

Seeing that Princess Yu was just crying silently, Lu Ji looked at her and asked, "She was still so young, and you were so cruel to abandon her in order to pursue your own wealth?"

As he spoke, he could not help but become angry. His deep eyes were faintly burning with fire, and his voice became heavier: "If Ning is really your daughter, no matter how much you repay her, what can you make up for it?"

Princess Yu couldn't help crying when she heard this: "It's not like that, it's not what you said. I didn't abandon her. How could I abandon my own daughter for my own wealth and status?"

Lu Ji suppressed his anger and asked, "Then tell me clearly why you lost your daughter? You are a noble lady from an official family, can't you even take care of your daughter? Why didn't Qin dare to go back to find you until she had nowhere else to go?"

The man raised his voice unconsciously, and said to the Princess of Yu in a stern voice: "If you don't explain the hidden truth here today, even if An Ning is really your daughter, you can't recognize her, and don't expect me to let you see her at will in the future."

The Princess of Prince Yu also lost her temper upon hearing this. She slammed the table in anger and retorted, "My daughter is now an adult. Whether she recognizes me as her mother or not is up to her. Even if you are her husband, you shouldn't make the decision like this."

Lu Ji replied heavily: "I am the one who can be her master."

He rolled his eyes at Princess Yu, and then repeated in a domineering tone, "I raised this woman myself, so I can make the decision."

As he spoke, Lu Ji suddenly stood up. He pointed at the Princess of Yu and said solemnly, "You were the ones who let Ah Ning down for what happened back then. Even if you don't want to admit it today, I will investigate it carefully."

He threw his sleeves in anger and said, "Those who bullied her and treated her badly back then, I will definitely get back at them a thousand times over for her."

After saying that, Lu Ji left everyone behind and walked out on his own.

Prince Xian understood the Regent's temper, and upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and advised him kindly: "Don't be angry, Regent. I know you are eager to protect your wife. It is better to consider this matter in the long run. The Ningguo Mansion is a prominent family. If the Regent's wife can have an equally prominent family to back her up, it will be of great benefit to her in your mansion or in the circle of noble ladies." Prince Xian was speaking the truth and was really considering Qin Xiaoning.

Lu Ji was pleased with what he said, but he still replied in a defiant and overbearing manner, "No need. She has my support. Who dares to wrong her?"

"Brother, I know you love Ning, but you are not as good as her biological parents." Empress Dowager Lu stood up and pulled Lu Ji over: "Just think of it as Ning's sake. We should think about this matter in the long run."

Lu Ji finally sat back down, but his expression was still gloomy.

After a while, he looked at the Princess of Yu again, with murderous intent in his eyes, which made the Princess of Yu lower her head immediately.

"Just tell me, tell me everything that happened back then." Lu Ji pressed.

Princess Yu, who has lived to such an old age, naturally knows the power of authority.

Even if she didn't tell anyone about those things, the Regent would definitely find a way to find out.

Instead of that, she would be in a passive position. Not only would she not be able to recognize her daughter, but she would also be implicated in other matters.

She had heard about the regent's decisive and ruthless character.

After a brief consideration, Princess Yu finally made the wisest choice. She spoke with difficulty and told what happened that year.

"My Xie family was originally the head of the four great families in Qi. My sister and I were chosen to be the princess's study companions since we were young. I often went in and out of the palace, and I developed a liking for the prince Yu. However, the situation in the palace was complicated at that time, and the struggle for the throne among the princes of various factions intensified. Although Concubine Cao, the mother of the current emperor and Prince Yu, was favored by the saint, she was also suppressed by the queen. My father was worried about being implicated, so he refused Concubine Cao's solicitation several times, which eventually angered Concubine Cao. At that time, Qi and Zhou were forming an alliance, and Qi was going to send several noble ladies from aristocratic families to accompany the princess to marry into Da Zhou. My sister and I were chosen by Concubine Cao, but I fell seriously ill on the way to Da Zhou. In the end, only my sister came to Da Zhou and married Prince Xian, and I was sent back to Qi.

Empress Cao still refused to let me go, and arranged my marriage to the Liu family. Although the Liu family was a good match for my family in terms of family background, Mr. Liu was not a good man. We had been at odds since we got married. After I gave birth to a daughter, the eldest son of Empress Cao, who is now the Emperor of Qi, ascended the throne. Empress Cao, who still remembered the grudge she had taken against my Liu family, secretly framed us and exiled my Liu family and my husband's family to a barren land. "

Speaking of this, Princess Yu couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

She choked up and continued, "At that time, the daughter I had with the young master of the Liu family was less than two years old, so I wrote a letter to Prince Yu, asking him to save us.

Prince Yu thought of the friendship he had with me, so he begged the Saint to show some mercy to me. In the end, the Saint appreciated the friendship he had with me and agreed to let me enter the palace as his concubine. Because of the Saint’s intervention, Empress Dowager Cao finally reluctantly agreed to keep me, but she could not tolerate my daughter.

At this point, Princess Yu burst into tears: "I was also forced to do so, so I was forced to separate from my daughter."

She wiped away her tears and said, "I handed her over to my personal maids and sent them to the farm. I thought that I would find a way to take my daughter back after this incident was over. But I never thought that something went wrong later."
