Chapter 544: I feel more and more that Jiao is a fool

Yu Chongjie is still pleading.

The old lady of Duke Xin called out "Chongjie" in a low voice. Yu Chongjie was startled. Seeing that his grandmother's expression was not right, he was still a little confused: "Grandmother?"

The old lady of Duke Xin said coldly, "I have also heard how Mingzhu offended Lord Fusui. Lord Fusui saved me and is my savior. Mingzhu offended your grandmother's savior, but you think your grandfather's punishment of making her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days was excessive? In other words, do you think your grandmother's life is worthless?"

Yu Chongjie's face turned pale: "No, Grandma, I didn't mean that..."

The old lady of Duke Xin was very disappointed with Yu Chongjie: "What do you mean? Don't you think it's okay for Grandmother's lifesaver to suffer a little injustice, but your pearl can't bear the slightest injustice?"

Yu Chongjie even stuttered as he spoke: "...No, that's not the case, Grandma. I just think that Zhuzhu has been kneeling for a whole day and night, and she knows she was wrong..."

"I think you've studied so much that you've become a dog!" The old Duke of Xin walked in, frowned, shouted angrily, and kicked Yu Chongjie directly.

Yu Chongjie was kicked and rolled over, his face turned pale with pain: "Grandfather!"

However, the old Duke Xin did not want to argue with Yu Chongjie in front of Xingxing. After Xingxing returned to her ancestral home, how sad would she be when she thought about how her brother protected Yu Mingzhu?

The old Duke Xin cursed angrily: "Get lost! Don't come to the main courtyard to cause trouble these days!"

Yu Chongjie could only leave embarrassedly.

As soon as Yu Chongjie left, the old Duke Xin's expression changed. He said to Xingxing with an embarrassed look on his face, "I made a fool of myself in front of you, Lord Xiang."

Xing Xing didn't know how to respond to this, so she could only start with the health of the old lady of Duke Xin: "The old lady still needs to take good care of herself, so it's better not to worry as much as possible."

The old lady of the Duke of Xin pretended to obey the doctor's instructions and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to our Lord."

Every doctor likes such cooperative patients, and so does Xing Xing. She pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two sweet little pear-shaped curls: "The old lady will surely recover soon!"

This smile was so bright and brilliant that the old lady of Duke Xin almost burst into tears.

The old Duke Xin's hands were also shaking and he didn't know what to say.

Yu Mingzhu knelt in the ancestral hall for three days before being carried out on a sedan chair.

Jiao looked at her daughter's red and swollen legs and cried uncontrollably.

Even if she is not her biological daughter, she has raised her like a treasure for so many years. How can the relationship between her and her be less than that of a biological daughter?

Yu Mingzhu cried bitterly: "Mom, it hurts so much."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

During these three days, Xingxing has been staying by the side of the old lady of Duke Xin. The old lady of Duke Xin is becoming more energetic day by day, and at first glance she looks like she is ten years younger.

The old lady of Duke Xin half-seriously took Xingxing's hand and called her her panacea.

He even took advantage of the fact that Xingxing had saved his life to open his private vault and gave Xingxing a complete set of top-quality ruby ​​headpieces given by the late emperor.

All the Jiao family members were stunned.

This set of headgear, as it was given by the late emperor, represented supreme honor. She had originally thought that when Zhuzhu got married, she would ask the old lady to give this set of headgear to Zhuzhu as a dowry, which would be both beautiful and noble.

Although the old lady said she didn't agree at that time, she smiled without objection, so Jiao thought that her mother-in-law had agreed.

Who would have thought that the old lady would give this set of jewelry to Xing Xing!

But the old lady had given it all, and Jiao couldn't question it. She clutched the handkerchief with some knots in her hand.

She could only hope that Xingxing would refuse.

However, this time Xingxing did not refuse like she did before when the old lady of Duke Xin took off the bracelet on her wrist to give her as a gift. Instead, she smiled and took it.

Xing Xing was taught by Da Xi Si Po, so she naturally knew that this was the best way, as everyone could exchange money and goods, and there was no need to owe anyone any favors.

Jiao pursed her lips and looked at Xing Xing.

Xingxing didn't look at Jiao.

Jiao could only clutch her handkerchief and force a smile, "Mother, Zhuzhu just came out of the ancestral hall and wanted to come over to pay her respects to you. But she is a little weak and her face is messy, so I will let her rest for a night before coming over to pay her respects to you..."

The old lady of Duke Xin nodded: "Have a good rest."

But he didn't say anything else.

Jiao was getting a little restless.

The old lady of Duke Xin caught a glimpse of this and felt even more that Jiao was a fool.

In the past, she had no objection to giving this set of ruby ​​headdress to Yu Mingzhu as a dowry, but at that time she thought Yu Mingzhu was her granddaughter!

Now they all knew clearly that something must have gone wrong back then. Yu Mingzhu was not of the bloodline of their Duke Xin's Mansion. Did she still want her to continue to keep this set of ruby ​​headpieces for Yu Mingzhu?

What's more, if she wasn't afraid of scaring Xingxing, she would have wanted to give half of her private property to Xingxing. What was a set of ruby ​​headpiece compared to her!

Jiao, you are really confused!

When the old lady of Duke Xin was considering whether to take some time to tell Jiao that Xingxing might be her biological daughter who was left behind, a servant came to report that the Princess of Jiping County had come to visit the old lady of Duke Xin with her children.

The room was silent.

Everyone knows that it was Feng Ran, a maid in Yu Mingzhu Courtyard, who destroyed the fate-changing tower of the second young lady of Prince Jiping's Mansion and almost took the lives of everyone in Prince Jiping's Mansion!

A few days ago, with the help of Da Xi Si Po, they caught Feng Ran. After interrogating her for a whole night, they did not find out anything else, so they sent Feng Ran to the Prince Jiping's Mansion to be handled by the Prince Jiping's Mansion.

It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the Mansion of Duke Xin, but the villain was a maid of the Mansion of Duke Xin, and it was because of Yu Chongen's relationship that she attacked Wei Shuangyan's Fate-Changing Tower.

But if you say it is related to the Mansion of Duke Xin, it seems a bit too far-fetched. After all, the Mansion of Duke Xin is so big, with hundreds of servants and maids. How can the master be blamed for the actions of his subordinates?

Therefore, the coming of Princess Jiping and her family can be regarded as the female relatives coming here to discuss this matter first.

Jiao stood up and said, "Then I will go and entertain the princess first..."

"Don't worry." The old lady of Duke Xin said calmly, "Please invite Princess Jiping to come to my place."

Jiao was still a little surprised: "How is your body?"

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Xing Xing tenderly: "As long as Xing Xing is here, I'm in good health!"

Jiao hesitated to speak, but finally nodded her head and agreed.

The Princess of Jiping County came with Wei Shuangyan and Wei Zihang. When they saw Xingxing was there, the eyes of the Princess of Jiping County and Wei Zihang lit up immediately.

The Princess of Jiping County first brought Wei Shuangyan and Wei Zihang to pay their respects to the old lady of Duke Xin.

The old lady of Duke Xin raised her hand and said, "Princess, you are too polite."

Princess Jiping said with a smile, "Old Madam, you are a lady of super rank who was treated with great courtesy by the previous emperor. No matter what, as a junior, it is my duty to perform the ceremony for you."
