When Zhou Shuren arrived, Yu Yun had already been there for a while. Before Zhou Shuren entered the study, he heard the crying and turned his head to look at Eunuch Liu, "Who is crying?"
She cried so sadly that it was heartbreaking to hear.
Eunuch Liu was very polite to Zhou Shuren. You have to know that in his position, he can only be flattered. But to Zhou Shuren, he had to be polite. Even if the crown prince ascended the throne, Lord Zhou would be reused. His Royal Highness the crown prince has always been thinking about Zhou Shuren. "Lord Yu is here."
Zhou Shuren’s acting is very good. He is very surprised, but he understands everything in his heart. He came to confront the emperor.
Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "The Emperor is waiting for you, my Lord."
Zhou Shuren entered the study room and saw Yu Yin kneeling on the ground crying. The old man was crying loudly, crying for the grievance and resentment in his heart. The last time he saw Lord Yu, his hair was not much gray, but this time, his hair had turned a lot grayer. After all, staying in the capital to look after Rong Yuan, the torment of thinking about him day and night is really not something that ordinary people can endure. It is really heartbreaking.
When the emperor saw Zhou Shuren, he said, "Don't bow, come and sit down."
Zhou Shuren was unwilling to kneel, so he walked over quickly and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
The emperor did not expect Yuyun, who was lost in his memories, to explain, and told Zhou Shuren what Yuyun had said to him, "Rong Yuyun, one of the few people who left and fled overseas that year, he is the only one who is still alive, the others are dead."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, if he and Zhulan hadn't come and changed a lot, this person probably wouldn't have come back. After a few years, when he died, the secret of the Rong family would really become a secret.
The emperor continued, "The Rong family's direct branch overseas can no longer be called the Rong family. Yu Yin said that several generations have been intermarried with foreign families. The Rong family overseas has been controlled. In the past, there was a family in the capital, but they did not dare to make too many moves overseas. Now that the family has been exterminated, the Rong family overseas has completely escaped the control of the family, and they are still thinking about the secrets of the family in the capital."
Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes. This was more of a conspiracy than he had thought. As for the secret of the Rong family, Zhou Shuren thought of the box that the emperor was holding. "Rong Yuyun, didn't the Rong family overseas change their surname to Yu? This name."
The emperor took a pen and wrote Rong Yuyun's name, and also wrote the surname Yu which was a change made by the overseas Rong family.
Zhou Shuren understood, "It's the same pronunciation."
The emperor nodded, "This generation's character is Yu."
Zhou Shuren looked at Lord Yu who had gradually calmed down and said, "You are lucky to be alive."
The emperor also felt that if everyone else had died, this person would probably not have survived if the Rong family overseas wanted to know the secret.
Zhou Shuren asked, "So the overseas Rong family doesn't know the secrets of the original family."
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief. Now the secret was his. He nodded and said, "The secret was only known to the earliest patriarch. After the patriarch of the Overseas Rong Family died, the family in the capital kept the secret. So the Overseas Rong Family only knew that there was a secret but didn't know what it was."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Fortunately, the head of the Rong family had the foresight to not trust the overseas Rong family, otherwise no one would have survived."
The emperor sighed, then touched the pen he had not put down, squinted his eyes, and felt betrayed. Now in his eyes, the overseas Rong family was no longer the Rong family, but people from another country.
Yu Yun had cried enough. The old man cried in a very embarrassed way, hiccuping. He came back after being cleaned by Eunuch Liu. He cried and felt empty inside. "I didn't dare to get married back then, fearing that I would leave a handle, so I have been alone all these years. I will be alone this time and I want to go back to Rongyuan."
That's his home.
Zhou Shuren looked at the paired jade pendants on the table. One should be Yuyun's, and the other was left by his mother.
The emperor asked, "How much do you know about the extermination of the Rong family?"
Yu Yun's eyes were filled with hatred. He was not a stone man. The Rong clan included not only his clansmen, but also his parents, brothers, relatives and friends, "the Yao clan, the Zhang clan, the royal family, and many more."
After a pause, he told everyone about all the families involved.
Zhou Shuren was not surprised, but he was surprised that Yu Yin was the first to mention the Yao family.
Apparently the royal family noticed this, too. "The Yao family?"
Yu Yin was filled with hatred. "Yes, the Yao family has been supported by the Rong family for generations. This is betrayal. The Yao family knows a lot of our Rong family's secrets. Otherwise, we wouldn't have only had a few people escape in the end. Your Majesty, the Yao family is ambitious and they are the best at betraying their master. Such villains should not be allowed to stay."
The Rong family knew that they could not stand alone, so they naturally had to look for reliable allies. Even if the dynasty was incompetent, the Rong family had the confidence to not fear the imperial power. However, the dog they had raised for many years turned against them and was the mastermind, so they were filled with hatred.
Zhou Shuren looked at Yuyun's red eyes. It seemed like he wanted to eat someone.
The emperor had been prepared for this, and the Yao family was not surprised at all. The emperor hated it even more. The Yao family deserved death for their rebelliousness because their youngest son was replaced. "It's not time yet."
Rong Yuyun was stunned for a moment, then calmed down. He had seen all kinds of storms and waves before, and now he had said everything he could say. Then he looked at Zhou Shuren and said, "I am your uncle. Your mother and I are cousins."
Zhou Shuren was dumbfounded, "Kiss?"
Yu Yin smiled and said, "Yes, dear. My father is the oldest and my uncle is the youngest."
Zhou Shuren was in a daze, so he really had a relative there. He thought it was another member of the same clan, but he never expected that there was also a cousin there. "Cousin?"
Yu Yin smiled happily, "Hey, I am now ranked fourth in the direct lineage, you can just call me fourth uncle."
Zhou Shuren ate the melon and it fell on his body. Mm, it smelled good. "Fourth uncle."
The emperor's mouth twitched. Zhou Shuren's tone was very suspicious. He smiled and said, "Shuren, now is still not the time to recognize people."
Yu Yin twitched his lips. This was indeed not the time to recognize someone. He couldn't be exposed. If the people who participated in the incident knew that he was alive, he would be in danger. "I'd better stay in the embassy."
The emperor said: "We are still looking for the descendants of my uncle, so it is not easy to make it public. When the descendants of my uncle are found, then there will be no scruples."
He was afraid that if everything was made public, his uncle's descendants would be in danger. Now he was the only one who knew the secret in the box, so he became more active in looking for his uncle's descendants.
Yu Yin understood, "I will obey the emperor."
The emperor is in a good mood today. All the previous mysteries have been solved, and he also knows how to treat the Rong family overseas. It is getting late, and the emperor does not want to keep him any longer. It would be bad to keep Yu Yun for too long without making it public now.
Zhou Shuren stood there without moving, thinking about what his wife had said yesterday about how delicious the snacks in the palace were, and he stared at the snacks.
Emperor: "... Why is Shuren looking at the dim sum like that?"
Zhou Shuren said shamelessly, "I've been busy at the Ministry of Revenue. I'm a little hungry after such a long time, so I'm shamelessly asking for some snacks."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Pack some back later."
Zhou Shuren was happy, "Then I'll take my leave."
Yu Yin was dumbfounded. Could he just take the emperor's things? Even though he was so sad that he forgot about the relationship between the emperor and his subjects, he was careful with his words after he sobered up.
The emperor laughed and scolded, and told Eunuch Liu to pretend more.
