I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 394 Returning to the Yu Residence

“Yes.” The aide nodded.

"Their reach is too far, but we don't know which one it is?"

Yu Xiruo was unaware that the First Prince had now shifted his suspicions from her to several other princes, and was currently trapped in a nightmare.

A few days later, the marks on Yu Xiruo's neck faded, and with a little powder, they were barely noticeable.

These past few days, the eldest prince has been busy with something and hasn't bothered her anymore, so she's been quite happy.

Yu Xiruo had already told her parents that she was going back to see them, and today she had Xiaoyin pack her things before heading out.

Because she was going back, Yu Xiruo felt much lighter, but as soon as she reached the door, she saw someone who made her feel nauseous.

"Your Highness." Yu Xiruo bowed slightly in greeting.

"Where is the Princess Consort going today?" the First Prince asked, feigning ignorance.

"Your Highness, my parents said a few days ago that they miss me, so I plan to go back to the Yu residence today to see them." Yu Xiruo didn't want to say more to the Crown Prince and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"The Crown Princess no longer informs me when she goes out." The First Prince's expression darkened slightly.

"How could I dare? I originally intended to inform the Crown Prince, but it just so happened that I happened to run into him."

"Hmph, does the Crown Princess think I'm so easily fooled?" The First Prince shouted sternly at Yu Xiruo, who was already preparing to leave.

Yu Xiruo remained silent. She truly had no intention of informing the First Prince, knowing that if she did, he would certainly not allow her to return.

"Does the Princess Consort know her current status? You are already married to me, so you should stay in the manor and manage the household affairs, instead of thinking about going out all day long. You don't act like a Princess Consort at all."

Yu Xiruo sneered inwardly. A prince's consort? Was there any prince's consort as aggrieved as her? She hated that title more than anything now.

However, it seems I can't go back today.

"Your Highness is right, I will go back now." After saying that, Yu Xiruo was about to turn around and go back when a servant came in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort, the Yu family has sent people to fetch the Princess Consort back."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiruo was secretly delighted, but her face remained calm and composed. The eldest prince, on the other hand, was secretly annoyed, thinking that the Yu family was truly ignorant of etiquette.

"Go and tell them that I won't be going back today," Yu Xiruo said to the servant.

"Wait, go tell them the princess is getting ready, please wait a moment." The eldest prince immediately stopped them.

"Yes." The servant naturally obeyed the eldest prince.

Yu Xiruo looked at the eldest prince with a mocking expression: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

The eldest prince was angered by Yu Xiruo's expression, but he couldn't actually take action now.

"Princess Consort, you'd better watch your mouth. If you want to go back, then hurry up and leave. Don't keep me waiting." The First Prince glanced at Yu Xiruo's neck, and seeing that there was nothing there, he warned her again.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I understand." Yu Xiruo didn't want to dwell on the prince's words at the moment, so she quickly left to return to the Yu residence.

"Hmm, take Shuangjiang with you and let her take care of you, so that I won't worry about you." The eldest prince seemed to be concerned, but only Yu Xiruo knew that he was sent to monitor her, but he was probably going to be disappointed.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Shuangjiang, you can come with me." Yu Xiruo agreed and led the group towards the gate.

Yu Xiruo arrived at the gate of the Yu family mansion with excitement. The Yu family was the head of the four major families and had a first-rank minister, Yu Taiwei. The Yu family mansion was not only in a superior location, but also spacious and magnificent.

However, Yu Xiruo didn't care about any of that. When she saw her parents waiting in front of the mansion, tears streamed down her face.

"Father, Mother." Yu Xiruo threw herself into her mother's arms, tears streaming down her face like rain.

"Ruo'er, has my daughter been wronged? Tell your mother, and I will stand up for you." Mother Yu hugged Yu Xiruo with heartache and stroked her back to comfort her.

"It's nothing, I just miss my parents and grandpa a little." Yu Xiruo shook her head; this wasn't a good place to talk.

Mentioning the late Grand Commandant Yu, Yu's parents couldn't help but feel sad. Although it had been several months, they still couldn't get over it.

“It’s cold outside, you and your daughter shouldn’t cry anymore, let’s go inside and talk,” Mr. Yu advised.

"Alright, Ruo'er, let's go inside."

"Ah."

Once inside, Mr. Yu dismissed the servants, and the family of three sat down.

"Ruo'er, tell your father and mother, have you been wronged at the First Prince's residence?" Mother Yu looked at her increasingly haggard daughter with great concern.

"No, Mother, I'm just a little sad because of Grandpa's passing. I'll be fine after a while." Yu Xiruo lied so as not to worry her parents.

"You still say you don't? What happened to your neck?"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Yu Xiruo suddenly covered her neck. What was going on? She had clearly covered it properly.

"Mom, my neck is fine."

"Let your mother take a look." Yu's mother didn't believe it. She had just noticed a bluish mark on her daughter's neck, which looked like an injury.

Without saying a word, Yu's mother pulled Yu Xiruo's hand away and wiped Yu Xiruo's neck with a handkerchief, immediately revealing a large bluish mark.

Mr. Yu saw it too, and it was no surprise.

"Ruo'er, tell me honestly, what happened?" Mr. Yu was also very agitated at this moment. His daughter, whom they had pampered since childhood and who had never been laid a finger on, was now seriously injured. Moreover, it was obvious that she had been pinched. Although the marks were faint, the fingerprints were still visible.

"Father." Yu Xiruo didn't expect her to give herself away so quickly. After thinking about it, she guessed that she had cried too hard when she came in, and the tears had flowed down her neck and then rubbed against her mother's clothes, causing the powder on her face to fall off.

She cursed herself for being too careless and should have come back in a few days.

"Ruo'er, was it the First Prince? Did he strangle you?" Madam Yu wiped Yu Xiruo's entire neck, and the marks on her neck became even clearer.

My daughter is the Crown Prince's wife and has always stayed in the palace without ever going out. Who else but the Crown Prince would dare to treat her like this?

"Father, Mother." Yu Xiruo knew she couldn't hide it anymore, and the grievances in her heart welled up, and tears streamed down her face again.

"My poor daughter, that beastly prince, how dare he, how dare he bully you like this." Madam Yu collapsed instantly, heartbroken. Her precious daughter had been bullied like this, and she felt like killing the prince.

Although Yu's father was not as distressed as Yu's mother, he was still very upset to see his daughter and also hated the eldest prince.
