Expressing Her Stance

Yu Yunxi's expression turned even more grave when she heard Chu Ruishi's words. After all, if even her grandfather could not find the culprit, it only meant that the culprit was quite capable.

Yu Yunxi asked bluntly, "Does it have anything to do with the Emperor?"

Chu Ruishi was not angry that Yu Yunxi suspected his son. He looked at her expressionlessly as he said, "Initially, I had the same thoughts as you. However, this matter really has nothing to do with him. Although I haven't been able to find the culprit after all these years, there's some evidence that makes me suspect that this matter has something to do with the imperial family of Tianxia."

Chu Ruishi's tone was very cold nearing the end of his words.

'What?'

Yu Yunxi's heart tightened when she heard these words. She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug painfully into her palms. Perhaps due to her anxiety, she did not seem to feel the pain at all.
