Yun Niang’s Story

If the minister of revenue dared to lie to him, then the minister of revenue must have some secret dealings with Duan Qinwang. Emperor Yong'an thought for a while, then scanned them and asked, "What is your name? Where are you from?"

The woman suppressed her nervousness and said, "Answering Your Majesty. This commoner's name is Yun Niang. This commoner comes from He Chuang Township."

After she had answered the question, Emperor Yong'an noticed that Yun Niang had the temperament of a noble lady. He thought for a moment and slowly said, "You don't come from an ordinary family."

Since this was not a question but a statement, Yun Niang just remained silent. After a moment of silence, Emperor Yong'an said, "Zhen wants to know your story and the reason why a noble lady became a beggar."
