Chapter 240 - 240 Discovery

240 Discovery

When Ning Yue saw this scene, she felt very uncomfortable. “Mother, this isn’t your fault. This has nothing to do with you. It’s all those damn human traffickers. Now, you remember that you’re from the Liu family. Mother! You’re family with my biological mother! Then…”

For the first time, Ning Yue did not know what to think. Madam He was actually her biological aunt!

The world was so small. After all the twists and turns, they were still a family.

“Oh my god, this world is so small!” The Empress Dowager sighed. “In that case, County Deputy Liu’s two daughters are both Yueyue’s mothers. One is the mother who gave birth to her, and the other is the mother who raised her.”

Hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, Yuan Hui was stunned.

County Deputy Liu? Wasn’t that…

Looking at the scene in front of him, he was too embarrassed to interrupt. He quickly ordered someone to investigate County Deputy Liu, whom the Empress Dowager had mentioned.

After this reunion ended, Yuan Hui couldn’t wait to find the Empress Dowager and ask her about County Deputy Liu.

“County Deputy is an official position here. County Deputy Liu is Ning Yue’s grandfather. Why are you asking this?” the Empress Dowager asked.

Originally, he had a vague guess, but now that he had obtained the most accurate answer, Yuan Hui could not help but be shocked.

“It’s nothing. I’m just curious. So the Great Yun Nation still has the official position of county deputy,” Yuan Hui said.

“This is only a little lower than a county magistrate, but when you mention County Deputy Liu, I remember something from the past,” the empress dowager said with a sigh.

“What is it? Is it a problem? If you can, tell me and see if I can help,” Yuan Hui said.

The Empress Dowager smiled and thought for a moment before sighing. “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that people’s hearts are fickle. 100,000 taels of silver can make a good official lose his conscience and future!”

If County Deputy Liu did his job well, he would be able to sit in the position of Governor now. His monthly salary would be quite a lot.

Not to mention his salary, the emperor would occasionally give him some rewards. These rewards were enough for him to do small businesses for his retirement.

However, if he made a mistake, he would make up for it himself.

However, she did not expect Ning Yue to be inextricably linked to the Liu family.

County Deputy Liu’s youngest daughter married into the Zhenbei General’s residence and gave birth to Ning Yue. However, her eldest daughter went to the Ning Family Village and raised Ning Yue. It was fate.

“Fate makes fools of us.” Yuan Hui sighed.

Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly asked the Empress Dowager, “Empress Dowager, I wonder if County Deputy Liu’s matter has affected Ning Yue.”

At first, the empress dowager did not react. After thinking for a while, she knew what he was talking about. “Are you referring to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s marriage? Don’t worry, not to mention that they’re engaged now, even if they’re not, it won’t affect them.”

They were much more open-minded. They would not take their anger out on the entire Liu family because of County Deputy Liu. If they knew how to do it, how could Liu Xuan enter the capital to take the exam?

Besides, County Deputy Liu had already been punished back then, so it wouldn’t affect them.

“That’s good,” Yuan Hui said.

However, even if it did affect him, he was not afraid. Who was he? He was the emperor of Russia!

He wanted to protect Ning Yue. Who dared to say no to him? Not even the emperor of the Great Yun Nation!

“Yuan Hui, why do you seem to be very interested in the Liu family?” The Empress Dowager realized that Yuan Hui seemed to be too concerned about the Liu family.

Yuan Hui smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just curious. After all, Yueyue is a good girl. I’m her friend. It’s normal for me to care.”

“Empress Dowager, I still have something on, so I’ll go ahead and get busy. I won’t disturb your rest.” With that, Yuan Hui turned around and left without giving the Empress Dowager a chance to react.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yuan Hui’s back and shook her head. This Yuan Hui had a strange personality. He could do anything he wanted.

However, the Empress Dowager firmly believed that he was not concerned about this just because he was friends with Ning Yue.

“Interesting, interesting. Yuan Hui is really interesting,” the Empress Dowager muttered to herself.

When Xin Xin came out after being busy, she heard the Empress Dowager muttering to herself and hurriedly asked, “Mother, what are you talking about?”
