A Prince's Endless Indulgence-Chapter 1041 - 75, Bribery Inquiry (Part 2)

Chapter 1041: Chapter 75, Bribery Inquiry (Part 2)
Regarding entering the palace, Jinnian had no thoughts, but Mrs. Han was somewhat worried and wanted to say something, but Han Xuzi stopped her.
"Let everything follow fate; nowadays, the Emperor won’t harm Jinnian!"
He would only find ways to make Jinnian recall the poison within him; apart from Jinnian, no one else can cure it.
If only for his own sake, the Emperor wouldn’t do anything to Jinnian.
While worrying, Mrs. Han also felt her father’s words made sense.
After a tiring journey, it’s ultimately not as good as being at home, especially with the house full of familiar feelings, even the maids serving with warmth, Jinnian rested when tired.
Yun Family
People from the Yun Matriarch’s maiden family arrived, including her nephew and niece-in-law, and their two children. It’s said that several sons will come later, as there are more visitors, given this year marks Yun Matriarch’s grand birthday celebration.
The visitors on that side seemed more intimate.
Yun Matriarch looked at her nephew and niece-in-law and started to cry.
Mrs. He had to offer some comfort.
Zhu Yan looked around, feeling many differences.
For example, Yun Matriarch’s room appeared not as luxurious as before, with scarce good things, Xu Xinmo stood aside with a face full of discontent, seemingly very unhappy, and the cousins were also different from past lives.
Even the household maids, she recognized only a few.
In the previous life, Ming Liu was married off, but now she’s the concubine of the eldest uncle...
Where is Yun Jinnian?
Why is no one mentioning her? According to logic, she should have married the Fifth Prince as a concubine, even if she wasn’t favored during childhood, things should be different now.
Moreover, the previous life status of the eldest uncle wasn’t as high as it is now, with the third uncle appointed as Prime Minister.
And till now, no one mentions the third uncle?
There are truly many unusual circumstances, yet Zhu Yan dared not ask more, only obediently sitting as Yun Mulan and Yun Musi did not quite interact with her, speaking happily with Zhu Yue.
Xu Xinmo occasionally spoke a few words while sitting beside them.
At Xu Xinmo’s age, she should have returned to Xu Family, but she still lived in Yun Family, indicating that Xu Family likely no longer wanted her.
Suddenly, Zhu Yan recalled that several elders of Xu Family seemed to be officials elsewhere, not holding any significant positions, so even the old lady had followed them out. Xu Family now might just have a few servants left, probably already empty!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan glanced at Xu Xinmo.
She saw Xu Xinmo pressing her lips tightly, full of resentment, understood her feelings.
But still found the current Yun Residence quite confusing.
It seemed necessary to find someone to inquire in detail tonight.
In the evening, there was a welcoming banquet, and Yun Matriarch was very delighted, warmly inviting Zhu Yan’s family to eat at a big table full of dishes.
She was especially affectionate towards Zhu Yan and Zhu Yue.
"Make proper arrangements for them, ensure these two little darlings aren’t aggrieved!"
Zhu Yan and Zhu Yue, the sisters, shared a courtyard, but Zhu Yue went to sleep with Yun Musi and Yun Mulan, leaving Zhu Yan alone in the courtyard, watched over by well-experienced maids and matrons.
Zhu Yan dismissed all but one matron, who was very appropriately dressed, then handed her a purse.
"This..." the matron hesitated.
What does the young mistress mean?
"I don’t need you to do anything, just want to inquire about the situations in this residence to avoid many detours and taboos. Just share what you know!"
The matron looked at the purse, bulging, containing at least several dozen taels.
The residence seemed prosperous, but in reality, madam had been rewarding servants rarely.
After hesitating for a moment, she reached out to accept it.
"What does the young mistress wish to know?"
