Chapter 570 My Grandmother Punished Me

When Yu Mingzhu came, she was still smiling, as if she didn't know what happened. Her smiling face was like a delicate flower in spring. She greeted the old lady of Duke Xin sweetly: "Greetings to grandma. Grandma, is there anything I can help you with? Nanny Qingluan said you were looking for me..."

After saying this, she seemed to have just discovered Qiu Li kneeling there, her voice stopped abruptly, and she said "Huh".

The confusion on Yu Mingzhu's face looked very real.

She looked at Qiu Li, then at Mao, who was sitting beside her and looking at her with a bit of coldness. Her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be more confused.

Yu Mingzhu's eyes finally fell on Yu Chongjie. Her confusion seemed genuine: "...Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here too?"

Yu Chongjie's lips moved.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not have been able to bear to see Yu Mingzhu's confused look and would have explained something to her.

But at this moment, his brotherly love seemed to be blocked. Mao's pale and lifeless face was the gate, blocking it.

For the first time, Yu Chongjie did not respond to Yu Mingzhu's words.

Yu Mingzhu's heart sank.

Could it be that the maid Qiuli said something that she shouldn't have said?

No - when she made the move of Qiu Li, she was really doing it for the good of Mao.

Even if Qiu Li said so, it shouldn't be like this, right?

Yu Mingzhu changed her mind, but was a little unwilling to give up, so she tentatively called out, "Brother? What's going on?"

There was a hint of grievance in her voice.

As expected, Yu Chongjie shuddered slightly.

Yu Chongjie looked reluctant, but he didn't know what was wrong. When he wanted to answer, he couldn't help but look at Mao's pale face.

Mao's pale, zombie-like face was like a big stick, which shocked Yu Chongjie so much that he closed his mouth in silence and looked away.

Yu Chongjie did not respond to Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Mingzhu fell down madly, and felt her hands and feet getting cold.

"Pearl."

The old lady of Duke Xin spoke lightly.

Yu Mingzhu came to her senses and called out "Grandma" in a tearful voice.

She seemed aggrieved and confused, not knowing what was going on. "Grandma, what's going on?"

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Yu Mingzhu with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

The old lady of Duke Xin was a kind elder and was very loving to the younger ones in the family.

No matter whether they are grandsons or granddaughters, or grandsons and granddaughters-in-law, the old lady of Duke Xin is extremely kind and does not seem to favor any of them in particular.

Therefore, no one knew that the old lady of Duke Xin had always had complicated feelings towards Mingzhu.

It was so complicated that even the old lady of Duke Xin herself found it a little strange.

Judging from Yu Mingzhu's outward appearance, this is the kind of well-behaved, filial and sensible granddaughter she likes the most. But why does she always feel a little alienated when facing Yu Mingzhu?

Later, the old lady of Duke Xin found out that Yu Mingzhu was not her biological granddaughter, and this confusion was largely solved - perhaps it was God reminding her that there was something wrong with Yu Mingzhu's life experience.

However, after the old lady of Duke Xin knew about it, she actually did not intend to treat Yu Mingzhu harshly.

She wouldn't get angry with a kid like that.

However, now, after the old lady of Duke Xin had spent time with Xing Xing, when she looked at Yu Ming Zhu again, it was as if a veil that had been covering her eyes had been lifted, and her thoughts were clearer than ever before.

She just felt that the little girl's acting skills were still a little poor.

At this moment, if Yu Mingzhu was really as clueless as she appeared, then what would her suddenly tensed back mean?

If the old lady of Duke Xin said that she only had five points of suspicion about whether Yu Mingzhu was involved in Qiu Li's matter, now it has become eight or nine points.

The old lady of Duke Xin said calmly: "Kneel down."

Yu Mingzhu was shocked, and her body trembled violently as if she couldn't believe it.

Her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She slowly knelt down, and this time she was really about to cry: "Grandma..."

Yu Chongjie felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he saw Yu Mingzhu like this. He was extremely distressed. He just wanted to take a step forward and stop, but just as he said "grandmother", Mao looked at him with red eyes. The persuasion that Yu Chongjie was about to say turned into "Maybe there is some misunderstanding..."

Yu Mingzhu had tears on her face, but she was filled with hatred in her heart!

She just knew it!

That Mao Fuqiu is just a vixen!

Her elder brother loved her so much in the past that he would give her the stars instead of the moon if she wanted them, and would bring all the clams in the entire clam area to her if she wanted pearls!

But ever since my eldest brother married Mao Fuqiu, he has changed little by little!

He no longer only loves her, but also has to be wary of that Mao Fuqiu!

Yu Mingzhu lowered her eyes, her shoulder blades slightly slumped, and she trembled as she kneeled there, looking pitiful and extremely aggrieved.

——This time she is not acting, she is really feeling wronged!

The old lady of Duke Xin looked indifferent and asked directly, "Do you know what Qiu Li did?"

Yu Mingzhu had tears in her eyes: "Grandma, Qiuli is a maid in my courtyard. She did something wrong. Although I didn't know it, as her master, I can't deny the blame. Grandma, you should punish me."

Yu Mingzhu said this in a very clever and sensible way. When Jiao came hurriedly and heard this, she felt very happy. Of course, she felt a little sorry for her daughter.

There are so many maids in my daughter's yard. Isn't it normal for mistakes to happen occasionally?

Is it all my daughter's fault?

Jiao called out "Mom" anxiously and walked in.

The old lady of Duke Xin glanced at Jiao with an expression of laziness.

Yu Mingzhu was kneeling there. When she heard Jiao's voice, her body trembled and she looked extremely pitiful.

Jiao's heart ached: "Mother, what did the maid in Zhuzhu's courtyard do wrong? If she did, you should just punish the maid. Why punish Zhuzhu?"

It would have been better if Jiao hadn't said anything. As soon as she did, the old lady of Duke Xin's face immediately turned cold: "I haven't even said a word yet, and you're making all kinds of excuses for Mingzhu! As a grandmother, I can't teach the younger generation any good, right!"

When Jiao saw that her good-tempered mother-in-law actually got angry, she was dumbfounded and didn't dare to say anything for a while.

A line of tears fell from Yu Mingzhu's eyes, and she cried with a bit of grievance: "Mom, please don't make grandma angry because of me. I must have done something wrong. Grandma pointed it out for the sake of my daughter's future and for her own good."

Hearing her daughter being so sensible, Jiao felt even more heartbroken: "Zhuzhu..."

But since the old lady of Duke Xin had just gotten angry, Jiao didn't dare to persuade anyone else. She could only bear it and sit aside.
