The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Chapter 147 Empress Dowager's Edict of Self-Reproach (Modern Era)

"North of Mount Yulong, there is a place called Chishong."

Yun Yuke then produced Manager Lin's statement, and at the end, she wrote a name: "Chisong".

"Ever since I learned about these things from my friend Wen Jiangyue, I have been investigating these situations. Half a year ago, when I came back, I went to this place called Chishong, but unfortunately, the place was heavily guarded. I was afraid of being exposed and alerting the enemy, so I didn't dare to go deep inside. That's why I came back and told you to pay attention to the mansions of these various forces in the capital."

When Yun Yuke returned half a year ago, she suddenly assigned a rather strange task. Although Yun Qingjin did not know the reason, she still followed the instructions and focused on gathering information from the target residences in the capital.

To understand the relationships between the various mansions in the capital, Yun Yuke made a detour to Changgan City and found Zhu Ling, who was still serving as the prefect there, to ask her for information.

Furthermore, he decided to slightly modify the special clothing shop from his previous life, renaming it "Spring Like the First Encounter," and began preparations for its opening.

Yun Yuke provided an initial business strategy, and Yun Qingjin redesigned the ready-to-wear products for the upcoming market based on her own understanding and knowledge over the years.

"It's alright. If we can find out some things, we'll find out; if not, we'll talk about it later. From what we can see now, this Grand Preceptor Fan doesn't even have his own residence. He seems to live in the palace all the time, clearly trying to prevent outsiders from having too much contact with him."

When Yun Yuke arrived in the capital, she was initially curious because she didn't know that the Grand Preceptor Fan was someone she knew. She kept thinking about meeting this Grand Preceptor Fan in person.

It turned out that when Fan Guoshi first arrived in the capital, he did have his own residence, but when he began to show his talent, he moved directly into the palace.

This happened about three years after the establishment of the hegemony.

Master Fan had no family, no friends, and no disciples; he seemed to deal only with the emperor and his court officials.

“The wealthy families in the capital are all incredibly cunning. Fortunately, I’m just an ordinary businessman now, and I don’t have any conflicts of interest with them. I can just do my job normally.”

Yun Qingjin's face was full of smugness. With her experience from her previous life, it would be easy for her to control these families in the capital.

"Yes, like I said, safety comes first. We'd rather not make any money than have anything happen to you. I don't want to see you get hurt, so don't worry, we can always find a quiet place to rest."

The mother and daughter hadn't had a late-night chat like this in a long time, and their conversation lasted until late into the night.

The next day, the imperial court held a court session, and merchants opened their markets.

Meanwhile, a major event suddenly occurred that day.

A special announcement was posted in various places throughout the capital.

"Empress Dowager's Edict of Self-Reproach".

Those who could read mostly went to the bulletin board to watch the excitement, while those who couldn't read learned about it through word of mouth.

Just like in his previous life, for a time, the talk of the town was all about the evil deeds the Empress Dowager had committed.

The Yun mother and daughter, along with Yuan Chen, all knew about this matter.

The three weren't too surprised, but they still pretended to be hearing about it for the first time and deliberately went to the bulletin board to take a closer look and study what was written on it.

"When he first told me about his past experiences, I was somewhat skeptical, but now that I have seen this self-reproach edict with my own eyes, I can't help but feel amazed."

When the three returned home, Yuan Chen was the first to express his feelings.

"Sister Chen...how's your family situation...?"

Yun Qingjin kept staring at Yuan Chen, her expression remaining calm and revealing little emotion.

"So many years have passed, I'm no longer... bothered by it."

Although Yuan Chen's expression was calm, one could still hear the sorrow and grief in her voice.

The mother and daughter didn't really say much; they just sat down next to Yuan Chen, one hugging him from behind and the other taking his hand.

"Alright, you two, stop it. If we're talking about shock, Qingqing's experience is much more shocking."

Yuan Chen lowered his head. "I already knew a few years ago that my family was wronged, and I was already mostly at peace with myself. I couldn't take revenge on someone of the Empress Dowager's stature, but now that someone has embarrassed the Empress Dowager, I'm overjoyed."

"It's good that you think this way. I believe your parents in heaven would not want you to ruin your life to avenge them."

Yun Yuke pulled Yuan Chen's shoulder closer.

"Yes, Sister Chen, there might be other announcements in the next few days, saying that they can clear the names of the wronged. You must not go there, that's a trap."

Yun Qingjin never forgot the experiences of Yun Yuke from her previous life that she had witnessed.

Since telling Yun Yuke about her bizarre rebirth experience, Yun Qingjin has selectively told Yuan Chen some things. So Yuan Chen also knows about Yun Qingjin's tragic past life. At the same time, he also told the two of them about the situation of the Yun family in his dream.

The most crucial thing is the footage I once saw that resembled Yuan Chen jumping off a cliff.

"Don't worry, I understand now." Yuan Chen nodded. "It's really amazing. I was just thinking about it, and if I had only found out today that my family had been wronged, I might have done something foolish. Now that we know the truth, I'm prepared. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I've lived for so many years, and I've witnessed the Empress Dowager lose so much face in front of everyone in the capital..."

Yuan Chen seemed to have other plans in mind. "Sister Yun and Qingqing, I want to get all the storytellers in the capital to hype these things up even more. What do you think?"

The Yun mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and a slight smile appeared on their faces.

"That seems like a good idea! I support it!"

Yun Qingjin clapped her hands.

Yun Yuke seemed to agree with this idea, but still spoke up, "I also support this view. However, if we do it again, many things will be different and there will be changes. Let's see if the emperor has any other arrangements. If, as in Qingqing's memory, the emperor admits the empress dowager's wrongdoings and apologizes, and even allows people to discuss the empress dowager in the market, then we can go and support the storytellers."

Yun Qingjin and Yuan Chen nodded in agreement. "Indeed, even if we can take this opportunity to have some fun, we should try our best to ensure safety."

Yun Qingjin added, "The new store is about to open, so this is a good opportunity to inquire about it, eh..."

"No, Mother and Sister Chen, it seems the Empress Dowager's edict of self-reproach has been brought forward."

"How to say?"

"If I remember correctly, the matter of the last few trillion should have occurred around the thirteenth or fourteenth year of the Hegemony, which is after I got married in my previous life."

“I remember it very clearly. In my previous life, I was brought back to the Marquis of Changxing’s mansion in the eleventh year of the Ba Ye era. This year is only the twelfth year, and this has already happened.”

Yun Qingjin closed her eyes and carefully recalled, confirming that her memory was correct.

"Then there's only one answer," Yun Yuke concluded.

“Besides us, there are other people interfering with the course of events. We still cannot let our guard down.”
