Chapter 562 Is there something wrong with me here?

Old Madam Gong never expected that this little girl who looked as sweet as a glutinous rice dumpling could be so difficult to deal with.

Her face changed rapidly: "You——"

Xing Xing's eyebrows were cold.

She has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and is a sweet and pretty girl with the kind of blessed look that the elders like.

But at this moment, his features suddenly turned cold, with a chill in them, and he looked naturally noble, and no one dared to look directly at him.

Old Madam Gong originally came here to make trouble, wanting the Yu family to hand over Gong Qingniang, and then threaten the Yu family to go to the government to withdraw the lawsuit and release Gong Lao San.

It turns out that the girl who came here didn't buy it at all!

Xing Xing said coldly, "Old Madam Gong! Do you really think that no one knows about your Gong family's affairs? The two uncles of the Gong family lost most of their fortune in gambling, and they even attacked the only orphan niece of the eldest branch! If it weren't for Hongo-kun's second brother who blocked the knife for my sister Gong, I'm afraid that the third brother Gong would have stabbed my sister to death with a knife! How dare you say that it was our family that kidnapped Sister Gong?!"

Right now, the Yu family has just produced a top scholar who has won six top honors in a row. The family is very well-known in the capital, and the people living nearby often receive wedding money distributed by the Yu family. In addition, everyone loves to watch this kind of exciting ethical drama, and they instinctively sympathize with the weak. When they heard the news, they all clicked their tongues and looked at Old Lady Gong with contempt, pointing fingers.

Old Madam Gong has been supported by Gong Qingniang over the years and has lived a life of luxury like an old lady. Today, in order to save her beloved third son, she put aside her old face and came here to cause trouble.

Who would have thought that a little girl would appear with such strong momentum!

What the hell is this, country boy!

She doesn't even dare to act rashly!

I'm really afraid that these servants will tie me up and send me to jail!

Old Madam Gong's eyes wandered, and she shouted cowardly, "Anyway, my granddaughter is at your house, return her to me quickly! Otherwise, you are going to force an old woman like me to death!"

Xingxing was not afraid at all. Her face was tense and she even took a step forward. Old Madam Gong stumbled back in fear. Xingxing looked at her and said loudly, "My second brother was almost hacked to death by your third brother Gong! How dare you come to our house and say that we forced you to death? How did we force you? In order to prevent you from hacking Sister Gong to death, I invited Sister Gong to my home as a guest. There were several ladies who could testify at that time. Does this mean that I wanted to force you to death? You keep saying that our family took Sister Gong away. Where does Sister Gong's innocent reputation stand? Old Madam Gong, you firstly confuse right and wrong and falsely accuse us of wanting to force you to death, and secondly, you are so vicious that you want to force Sister Gong to death. You have such a vicious heart!"

After Xingxing finished her well-reasoned words, the people around her and the neighbors who were watching all nodded in agreement.

Old Madam Gong was speechless after being scolded and questioned by Xing Xing. Just as she was about to rant again, Xing Xing simply asked her again, "Don't you want to take care of Old Third Gong anymore?"

All the words that Mrs. Gong was going to say were suddenly stuck in her throat.

Xing Xing looked at her coldly.

Finally, old lady Gong said "You wait" in a cowardly manner, and walked away in a hurry amid the boos of the crowd. It seemed that she was going back to discuss what to do.

Xing Xing then returned to the house with a calm face. However, as soon as she entered the house, she stuck out her tongue at Yu Yongliu and said, "I scared him away."

Yu Yongliu smiled and touched Xingxing's head: "You did a good job."

If Yu Yongbai wants to marry Gong Qingniang, the Gong Mansion is a hurdle he cannot avoid.

At least for now, Xingxing can't do anything too drastic when there is no clear response strategy.

Otherwise, according to Xingxing's suggestion, the government should just ask Old Lady Gong to "calm down" and scare people!

Although Yu Yongliu said that he was still waiting for Emperor Jiazheng or the Ministry of Personnel to grant him an official position, he had been very busy these days as various banquets in the capital that could not be postponed kept coming one after another.

Yu Yongliu is not the kind of person who is cold and aloof. There are always teachers and classmates who cannot be pushed away.

He accompanied Xingxing to Yu Yongbai's place to visit his second brother, and then went out again.

Xing Xing looked at Yu Yongliu's back and said sympathetically, "It's not easy for Third Brother to get the top spot in the exam."

Yu Yongbai was in much better spirits today, with more color on his face. He smiled when he heard this: "Grandpa has already asked someone to inform the clan that my third brother has passed the imperial examination and won the first place. This is a great event that will bring honor to the family. He is much more powerful than me as a businessman."

Yu Yongbai was just joking.

Gong Qingniang, who was peeling apples by herself, was unhappy and glared at Yu Yongbai: "Don't belittle yourself like this."

Yu Yongbai immediately smiled even brighter: "Yes, yes, I'll listen to Boss Gong."

The tolerance in the words is obvious.

Gong Qingniang glanced at Yu Yongbai again, but couldn't help but smile secretly.

Xing Xing hissed and suddenly began to doubt herself.

Is her being here a bit... troublesome?

Well, should I tell Sister Gong about Old Lady Gong’s trouble?

Xingxing was distressed for a while, but she felt that she would have to face the matter of Gong Mansion sooner or later anyway. Besides, her second brother was stabbed by Gong Lao San, and he was also a victim of Gong Mansion like Sister Gong, so she might as well tell it.

Xing Xing thought about it for a while, and asked Gong Qingniang first: "...Sister Gong, your third uncle is still in prison, what do you think?"

When Gong Lao San was mentioned, Gong Qingniang's tone was filled with anger: "...It would be best if he stayed in jail until he died!"

Xing Xing pursed her face and said, "...Actually, Sister Gong, your grandmother came to the door just now to make trouble. She said we had captured you and asked us to hand you over."

Gong Qingniang's face turned pale and she stood up suddenly: "...my grandmother..."

Although she knew that her grandmother would definitely favor her second and third uncles, she never expected that her grandmother would not care about her life or death at all!

For the sake of her reputation, the Yu family had specially invited several other ladies. In front of the other ladies, Xingxing asked Gong Qingniang to stay at the Yu family for a few days, which was considered a legitimate way of doing things.

It turned out to be her grandmother!

In order to force the Yu family, to force her, she actually came to the Yu family's door and made a scene, fearing that others would not know that she was staying overnight at someone else's house, fearing that she was having an easy time, right?

Gong Qingniang felt extremely sad!

Although she had long been heartbroken by the ruthlessness and cruelty of her second and third uncles, her grandmother...that was her biological grandmother. Although she didn't say it, she still had a little hope in her heart.

But she should have thought of it long ago!

How could someone who could allow people like his second and third uncles to gradually fall into the abyss of gambling care about her?

Gong Qingniang pursed her lips tightly.

Yu Yongbai also became anxious and wanted to stand up to comfort Gong Qingniang, but he pulled the wound and hissed in pain.

Gong Qingniang's attention was suddenly diverted. She ignored the bitterness in her heart and hurried to suppress Yu Yongbai: "What are you doing!"
