Yu Sangning couldn't let these things be exposed. Once exposed, she would be expelled from the clan, and the Yu clan would not let her go! Even if she took over with all her heart, those people left by Yu Xiang would abandon her!
Then she will really have nothing!
She couldn't lose these, but she also didn't want to be forced to go against Shen Xihe, otherwise she would die at Shen Xihe's hands sooner or later.
She probably expected that she would be abandoned. She had kept Yu Sangzi so that when her father and brother gave up on her in the future, they would have something to hold against the Yu family. However, she never expected that it would become her own death warrant.
She could only take the risk and escape. She had already thought about it. With Yu Xiang's people left, she could live a prosperous life if she left Kyoto. This prosperous Kyoto, the pinnacle of power, had too many terrible people and was not suitable for her to survive.
But she still underestimated Shen Xihe!
The torches held high in the tunnel released warm light that enveloped Shen Xihe's clear and beautiful face. Instead of softening her outline, it illuminated her chilling depth.
After looking at her silently for a moment, Shen Xihe said, "The Yu family was exiled, and your grandmother was among them."
The old lady of the Hou Mansion, who had lived a life of luxury for most of her life, has now become a criminal. So Yanxia was driven into exile. Shen Xihe didn't think she could survive to the place of exile.
Yu Sangning's eyes flickered. In the Yu Mansion, the only one who was sincere to her was the old lady. She kept thinking about how she jumped into the pond to save her.
"The Yu family would never have fallen into this situation." Shen Xihe said again.
Even if Yu Sangzi's affairs were exposed, if it wasn't in this way, making Your Majesty feel that there was something fishy about Xiao Huayong's death, and Xiao Changqing was preventing him from opening the coffin for an autopsy, Your Majesty would at most make the Yu family become destitute.
Yu Sangning also knew these, but the premise was that she had nothing and was abandoned by everyone!
So she made another choice. As she expected, Yu Sangzi still didn't know that everything was planned by her. He thought that she helped him fake his death, and it was Yu Sangzi's own fault that she and the Yu family were implicated, so Yu Sangzi was still protecting her!
This made the people who stayed behind with Yu Xiang still believe in her, and they were waiting to go into the exile place with her to secretly help the Yu family.
It's not that she can't go to the exile place as a benefactor. After all, she wants to live a good life and just wait for someone to order her around. The Yu family and others are very good.
Obviously everything was planned well, but she happened to meet Shen Xihe. No matter how perfect her plan was, it would always end in failure as long as she met Shen Xihe!
She seemed to be humble, but she still had a hint of resentment in her eyes. Shen Xihe didn't care: "I have met countless people in my life, but I haven't seen many people as selfish and cold as you."
Human nature is changeable and complex. Not everyone is honest and kind all the time. The reason why people are human beings is that Shen Xihe believes that many vicious and evil people will be touched at some point by a certain person or event.
Yu Sangning doesn't seem to be a very evil person, but her coldness is chilling to the bone.
"Hehe..." Yu Sangning laughed softly, her laughter full of mockery. She tilted her head and looked at Shen Xihe, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, you were born noble and have never tasted the feeling of being trampled on. What right do you have to accuse me of being selfish and cold-hearted?"
