Chapter 569 How did she offend Yu Mingzhu?
Qiu Li's body was trembling slightly. She knelt in front of the old lady of Duke Xin and bowed to her.
"I am Qiu Li, a servant, and I have met the old lady."
The old lady of Duke Xin said, "Raise your head."
Qiu Li raised his head, but did not dare to look directly at the old lady of Duke Xin.
The old lady of Duke Xin carefully looked at the maid named Qiu Li, until Qiu Li could not bear the sight of the old lady of Duke Xin and was trembling all over, then the old lady of Duke Xin spoke lightly:
"Who told you to tell everyone about what happened in the Miss's courtyard?"
Qiu Lihun shuddered slightly and hurriedly defended herself: "Madam, I didn't, I didn't. I just chatted with the eldest young lady casually..."
The old lady of Duke Xin's eyes became even colder: "In other words, you only told the eldest young lady about what happened in the eldest young lady's courtyard? Well, tell me, why did you tell the eldest young lady about what happened in the eldest young lady's courtyard?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Li felt cold sweat pouring down his face and his tongue was about to get tied.
"Madam, I, your servant, your servant..."
The old lady of Duke Xin asked, "Did the eldest young lady ask you specifically?"
Qiu Li was sweating profusely and was speechless. The nanny was anxious and knelt down in a hurry: "Old Madam, you are very wise. We never asked, it was this maid who revealed everything bit by bit during the conversation! Before today, I never even suspected this maid, but it was the old Madam who woke me up. This maid deliberately revealed in front of our eldest young lady how much the eldest young master loves the eldest young lady!"
Qiu Li, the maid, was sweating more and more.
Yu Chongjie was simply puzzled, frowning: "...No, why would you do this?"
He can't figure it out!
The old lady of Duke Xin glanced at this grandson whom she had once placed high hopes on, and inevitably felt a little disappointed.
Given his intelligence, how could he not think of the doubts here?
It’s simply that this grandson is biased and blind!
Qiu Li saw that she had no way to refute it, so she could only kowtow to the old lady of Duke Xin with a pale face: "Old lady, it's all my fault! It's me, I am shallow and boastful, I deliberately used the fact that the young master loves the young lady to show off myself. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Yu Chongjie said angrily: "I thought you were a dutiful servant! You can even use your master's affairs as bargaining chips! I think you don't need to stay in the mansion anymore!"
The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Yu Chongjie with great disappointment.
Xingxing is still here!
What if Xing Xing feels that her relatives in this house are all fools, and she doesn't want to acknowledge them even after knowing the truth about her origins? !
The old lady of Duke Xin decided to get to the bottom of this matter!
With anger, she motioned for Nanny Qingluan to come forward and whispered a few words to her.
Nanny Qingluan took the order and left.
Qiu Li just knelt there, and the old lady of Duke Xin ignored her and waved for Mao to come over.
Mao came forward with red eyes.
The old lady of Duke Xin held Madam Mao's hand and said, "... Fuqiu, you are a good child. Our Chongjie is a fool. You can scold him, beat him, whatever you want. You can do whatever makes you feel comfortable. But just one thing, don't hold it in your heart. What are you calculating like a fool for? To embarrass yourself and please others?"
The old lady of Duke Xin's last words were full of meaning.
Mao's heart skipped a beat, but when she looked up and met the sincere and earnest gaze of the old lady of Duke Xin, she only felt her eyes become sore and she almost wanted to cry again.
Yu Chongjie seemed to want to say something: "Grandma, Fuqiu, I..."
But the old lady of Duke Xin was a little annoyed with this eldest grandson at this moment. She didn't want to listen to him and directly scolded him without any words: "Shut up! It's annoying just listening to you!... I know you love your sister, but now you are marrying Fuqiu. Fuqiu left her parents and her home for more than ten years to marry you. She came to our house without any relatives. You are her only support! But you always put Fuqiu behind others. How hurtful! Are you worthy of being her husband like this?"
Yu Chongjie was scolded by the old lady of Duke Xin, and he became anxious: "...But grandma, I am Zhuzhu's eldest brother. I can't just ignore Zhuzhu after getting married, right?"
The old lady of Duke Xin was almost pissed off to death by this eldest grandson!
If she had her cane at this moment, she would have hit this stupid grandson to death with it!
"Who told you to ignore your sister?" The old lady of Duke Xin shouted, "But, have you taken good care of Fuqiu? You are indeed Mingzhu's brother, but you are also Fuqiu's husband! You can only fulfill one identity! Then you are really hopelessly stupid!"
Yu Chongjie was scolded so much that he could hardly raise his head.
He couldn't help but look at Mao.
Mao lowered her head, but her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she was obviously sobbing softly.
Yu Chongjie was shocked!
While the old lady of Duke Xin was lecturing Yu Chongjie, Nanny Qingluan efficiently found out the three generations of ancestors of the maid named Qiuli.
It turns out that this maid named Qiuli will be released in two years.
She had a husband who was engaged to her since she was a child. The man was waiting outside the mansion to marry Qiu Li after she was released.
As a result, the man fell seriously ill and even his family members ignored him. Qiu Li took out the monthly salary he had saved for many years to pay for the man's treatment, but there was still a long way to go before he could recover.
Nanny Qingluan found out that during that period, several maids who were on good terms with Qiu Li had lent her some money.
This is basically enough for you to find out.
When Nanny Qingluan came back, she tricked Qiuli about her husband outside the house, and Qiuli confessed everything in a breakdown - it was the eldest lady. The eldest lady said that the eldest mistress was concerned about the eldest young master, and she was in a depressed mood, or if she talked more about the eldest young master, she would be happy.
However, the eldest young lady is very sensitive and thoughtful, so no trace of it can be revealed, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
But Qiuli was a member of Yu Mingzhu's courtyard, and most of what she knew about Yu Chongjie was how much he loved Yu Mingzhu.
After listening to Qiu Li's explanation, Yu Chongjie's first reaction was disbelief.
This, this is too much...
Yu Chongjie couldn't explain.
I don’t know how to describe my current mood.
That was the old lady of Duke Xin. She frowned, sneered, and said to Nanny Qingluan, "Go, call Mingzhu for me!"
At this point, Mao confirmed for the first time that this was actually Yu Mingzhu's work.
She became more and more dazed.
She even reflected on herself, wondering if she had done something wrong or offended Yu Mingzhu in any way.
She was already upset about the matter between Yu Chongjie and Yu Mingzhu, and Yu Mingzhu even sent a maid over to tell her every day how much Yu Chongjie loved Yu Mingzhu?
Is this helping her or harming her? !
You really think she is stupid!
