Chapter 455: Tremors from the Deep Soul

Some of the ladies present were already whispering to each other.

"That's a bit too much..."

"General Yu's sister, such a cute little girl, probably wouldn't do that..."

"There is no basis for this..."

Some intermittent whispers reached Yu Mingzhu's ears.

They all spoke for Xingxing.

Yu Mingzhu tried her best to maintain her expression, not letting her true emotions show. She just smiled helplessly: "...Ms. Yu, what you said..."

She tilted her head to look at Bai Huanqin, looking a little embarrassed: "Qinqin, we have been sisters for many years, I trust you unconditionally. But Miss Yu also looks very aggrieved..."

A lady next to Yu Mingzhu immediately pulled Yu Mingzhu's sleeve, quickly glanced at Bai Huanqin, and said to Yu Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, you trust Miss Bai too much. I know that you are kind and consider Miss Bai a sister, but in this matter, Miss Bai must produce evidence..."

The two of them sang the same tune and characterized the incident as Yu Mingzhu trusting her younger sisters too much.

The other young ladies thought about it and agreed. Bai Huanqin was so sure that General Yu's sister was poisoned, and Mingzhu had always been on good terms with Bai Huanqin.

Now the pressure is obviously on Bai Huanqin.

Bai Huanqin, however, held a grudge against Xingxing for this matter. Her eyes seemed to be burning with anger as she looked at Xingxing and sneered, "Sweet talk, sweet words, and flattering appearance!"

She pointed at the sachet on Xing Xing's waist and said, "Do you dare to take out the contents of your sachet and show them to others?!"

Everyone looked at Xing Xing's waist.

Xing Xing was still very frank: "Of course I dared to do it. But, Miss Bai's behavior was too rude. I came to the banquet just fine, but because of Miss Bai's unsubstantiated words, I had to be insulted by such self-incrimination. If I tolerate Miss Bai's behavior, then in the future, if anyone suspects me, won't I have to let others search me when I go out?"

Xingxing has a delicate and gentle appearance, and she has no aggressiveness at all. When she said this, there was no aggressive accusation in her voice, but her tone was calm, as if she was talking about daily life.

Everyone couldn't help but think deeper about what Xingxing said.

Yes, everything was fine and nothing happened, but Bai Huanqin suddenly jumped out and said that the girl was poisoned - the girl was eating snacks at the time, and she was forced by Bai Huanqin to prove her innocence?

If this incident sets a precedent, won't everyone be in danger when they go out in the future?

How can this be possible!

The ladies all spoke up for Xing Xing in a louder voice: "Yes, for no reason at all. General Yu's sister did nothing and didn't provoke Miss Bai. Suddenly Miss Bai came out and said that General Yu's sister was poisoned. This is too weird!"

"Miss Bai, you are not just looking at General Yu's sister eating snacks obediently, you are deliberately trying to bully her!"

"I think so! What did General Yu's sister do to offend anyone? She came to the birthday party as a guest, but was suddenly accused of carrying poison and asked to prove her innocence. This is too much of an insult!"

The ladies became more and more indignant as they spoke, and they felt so sorry for Xingxing!

Such a cute and well-behaved little girl, who was attending the banquet peacefully, who was she bothering? You, Bai Huanqin, came and bullied her like this!

Bai Huanqin became more and more angry and frustrated as she listened to everyone's accusations!

How could she not know whether this little bastard was carrying poison? !

She had suffered a great loss at the hands of this little bastard!

Just when Bai Huanqin was about to explode, a laughing voice came from outside, asking doubtfully: "What are you girls doing? Why are you still making so much noise?"

Instead, it was Jiao, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Xin, who came.

All the young ladies knelt down hurriedly and paid their respects to the Crown Prince's wife, Jiao.

Yu Mingzhu also called her "Mom" affectionately.

Jiao held Jingchun's hand and looked at her daughter with some pride and tenderness.

Her daughter, even among a crowd of beauties, was the most eye-catching one, without losing her beauty.

Jiao was about to ask again what they were talking about just now, but her eyes unexpectedly fell on a remote corner.

There was a little girl standing there quietly.

She was wearing a light green skirt with gold-embroidered butterfly patterns and a fur collar, which set off her already fair and delicate face, making her look like a piece of white jade cake fallen into the snow.

Indescribably cute and adorable.

Jiao was suddenly dazed and absent-minded.

This face...

Aunt Jingchun noticed something and looked in the direction Jiao was looking and saw Xingxing at a glance.

Aunt Jingchun couldn't help but smile, and lowered her voice to Jiao: "Madam, this is what I told you..."

There were many people in the room, so Jingchun didn't finish his words.

But Jiao understood what she meant.

Is this the girl Jingchun mentioned before... the one who looks very much like her when she was a child?

Indeed...very similar.

Jiao couldn't help but take a step forward.

Somehow, from the first moment she saw the little girl, Jiao felt like crying, as if it was a tremor coming from the depths of her soul.

Jiao couldn't explain it clearly.

But right now, Jiao really wanted to talk to the little girl.

"……mother?"

Seeing that Jiao seemed to be absent-minded, Yu Mingzhu could not help but call her again.

Jiao suddenly came back to her senses, with a somewhat strange expression on her face.

But she felt that such impulse was too inexplicable. She was just a little girl who looked somewhat like her when she was young, so why did she lose her composure like that?

"What's wrong, Zhuzhu?" Jiao put the impulse behind her, calmed down, and asked Yu Mingzhu with a smile.

Yu Mingzhu was relieved to see Jiao return to normal, and smiled, "Didn't you just ask what happened to us? ... In fact, it was a misunderstanding. Qinqin said that General Zhenxi's sister had poison on her body, and we are discussing how to deal with this matter."

"General Zhenxi's sister?"

The Xin Guogong Mansion is a powerful and noble family. They usually have some contacts with the military generals, but not much.

Even so, Jiao had also heard of the title of General Zhenxi, who was in great demand in the capital.

So when posting the notice, Jiao also asked someone to send a notice to the Zhenxi General's Mansion.

Bai Huanqin pouted and couldn't help but said, "Aunt Jiao, I'm not trying to scare you. I was poisoned by that little bitch... Yu Xingxing before and suffered a lot. So today when I saw her bringing her sachet of poison to celebrate Mingzhu's birthday, I couldn't help but warn her."

When Jiao heard this, her face turned pale: "The sachet is filled with poison?! This is too dangerous."

Aunt Jingchun's expression also changed.

She had not yet had the chance to tell her wife the identity of the little girl who looked so much like her, and her wife still didn't know - wasn't the sister of General Zhenxi the little girl who looked so much like her wife?

Such a delicate and lovely girl brought poison?

Aunt Jingchun couldn't help but look at Xingxing and saw the little girl standing there quietly, without any excuses or excitement.
