Chapter 567: What can a man who treats his wife harshly achieve?

Xing Xing declined: "How can I take this from you?"

The old lady of Duke Xin showed a clear look of disappointment on her face: "Having a new baby is a great joyous event, and an old woman like me just wants to take part in the joyous occasion."

The old lady of Duke Xin said "disappointed" while secretly looking at Xingxing's expression.

As expected, Xing Xing hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it: "You are right. I will pass it on to Sister Gong for you and tell her that this is the makeup you gave her."

The old lady of Duke Xin immediately smiled happily.

She knew that her little Xingxing was the softest-hearted one!

"Yeah, that's right, why is Xing Xing always so distant with us?" The old lady of Duke Xin took the opportunity to ask, "We are so familiar with each other, right?"

Xing Xing smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are right."

The old lady of Duke Xin smiled even more happily.

Just then, Mrs. Mao, the wife of Yu Chongjie, the eldest son of Duke Xin, came to pay her respects to the old lady of Duke Xin, and was already outside the door.

The old lady of Duke Xin paused for a moment and whispered to Xingxing, "Xingxing, could you please also check the pulse of my eldest grandson's wife? I always feel that she is unhappy since she had a miscarriage. Although her complexion looks fine, I always feel that she is not quite right."

Xingxing naturally agreed.

She still remembered the chaos of that day and felt quite sympathetic towards the eldest young lady.

Mao came in, with some rouge on her thin face. She looked fine, but Xingxing was a doctor and instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"Grandma." Mao quietly paid her respects to the old lady of Duke Xin.

Although the old lady of Duke Xin was a very kind old lady, she was not as enthusiastic towards everyone as she was towards Xing Xing.

The old lady of the Duke of Xin nodded and said, "You came at the right time. Fusui Xiangjun came to take my pulse for a follow-up examination. She is an excellent doctor. You can also let Fusui Xiangjun take a look at your body."

Mao did not dare to refuse, so she lowered her head and agreed.

The old lady of Duke Xin raised her hand and asked Nanny Qingluan to bring an embroidered cushion for Madam Mao to sit on. Then she turned around and said to Xingxing, "Xingxing, I'm going to trouble you."

"It's just a matter of taking the pulse. It's not a big deal."

Xing Xing felt Mao's pulse, and when she withdrew her hand, she hesitated and looked at the old lady of Duke Xin first.

The old lady of Duke Xin narrowed her eyes, dismissed the servants, and then said, "Xingxing, please feel free to speak."

Xing Xing sighed and whispered, "Madam, are you worried about something? Being depressed and worrying too much is not good for your health. If this continues, it may affect your life span."

Xingxing said it very bluntly. If you continue like this, you will die young.

When Mao's thoughts were exposed by Xingxing, her face turned pale and she was speechless.

However, the old lady of Duke Xin frowned.

Mao was the eldest grandson's wife. If nothing unexpected happened, she would become the consort of the Duke of Xin in the future.

Everything is going smoothly for her now, and no one is giving her any trouble, yet she seems to be feeling depressed and worrying too much. Isn't that a bit too much?

No wonder Xingxing hesitated.

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Madam Mao and said, "But did your mother-in-law give you a hard time about the issue of offspring?"

Mao hesitated and shook her head.

In fact, ever since she gave birth, her mother-in-law, the Crown Prince's wife Jiao, had people send her bird's nests every day so that she could take good care of herself, and she didn't make things difficult for her.

The old lady of Duke Xin frowned and asked, "Is it because someone below is disobedient?"

The old lady of Duke Xin said solemnly, "Fuqiu, you are the eldest grandson's wife of Duke Xin. Your dignity is the dignity of Duke Xin. If anyone treats you lightly, you must show your authority as the eldest grandson's wife."

Mao stood up and nodded her head.

Seeing how Mao was, the old lady of Duke Xin became more and more anxious.

It doesn't look like the Jiao family is in trouble. Are their subordinates looking down on them?

How come it has come to the point where it will have a detrimental effect on one’s life span?

"Did Chongjie bully you?" The old lady of Duke Xin frowned even more.

Mao's face froze, then she lowered her head.

The old lady of Duke Xin was shocked and couldn't help scolding, "You bastard!"

It's actually Yu Chongjie? !

The old lady of Duke Xin was furious and shouted, "Qingluan! Go find someone to call the young master to me!"

Mao was anxious now: "Grandma, don't! It has nothing to do with my husband..."

The old lady of Duke Xin was heartbroken and said, "Go, look at yourself in the bronze mirror. Do you believe what I said?"

Mao said in a low voice: "...My husband is still on duty, it will have a bad impact."

The old lady of Duke Xin sneered: "What great things can a man who treats his wife harshly achieve! What does it matter whether it is worth it or not!"

The old lady of Duke Xin acted swiftly and fiercely. She ignored Mao's silent pleas and resolutely asked Qingluan to find someone to call Yu Chongjie back.

This was a private matter of the Xin Guo Mansion. Xing Xing stood up to say goodbye. The old lady of the Xin Guo Mansion was reluctant to let Xing Xing go, but she also felt that Yu Chongjie was Xing Xing's biological brother, so Xing Xing naturally had the qualifications to be present at this matter.

The old lady of Duke Xin tried her best to keep Xing Xing: "...The Duke has to go out for something temporarily. Before he left, he told me that he would be back as soon as possible. When the time comes, we need Xing Xing to help our Duke take his pulse as well."

When Xing Xing heard that it was a serious matter like taking a pulse, she sat back down.

Yu Chongjie was indeed on duty, but he heard that the old lady in the mansion asked him to go back for something - this had never happened before.

Yu Chongjie hurried back to the Xin Guo Mansion, rushed all the way back, and went straight to the main courtyard: "Grandma, what do you want to talk to your grandson about?"

The old lady of Duke Xin frowned and said, "Let me ask you, your wife has not been in good health since she gave birth. Have you noticed it?"

Speaking of this, Yu Chongjie couldn't help but frown: "...Grandma, who said that? The doctor who came to check on her said that Fuqiu has recovered."

"You have recovered fully?! Look at your wife's complexion, that's fine?!" the old lady of Duke Xin scolded angrily.

At this moment, with the help of Nanny Qingluan, Mao's makeup had been removed, revealing her pale face without any makeup.

It was obvious at a glance that he looked so bad, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness. Yu Chongjie was so shocked that he lost his voice!

The old lady of Duke Xin also gasped when she saw this.

When Mao was at her parents' home, she was the apple of her family's eye.

If my in-laws saw this, I don’t know how heartbroken they would be!

Yu Chongjie stepped forward anxiously: "Fuqiu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"

Mao Fuqiu's lips moved slightly, but she was unable to speak.

Yu Chongjie himself became more and more anxious: "...Zhuzhu also said that she found a maid who knows how to massage for you these days, but that maid doesn't massage well? Can we change another one?"
