Chapter 643: There is no one who raised me personally
While Da Xi Si Po was cursing Nie Luming for being a bad person, she asked Xing Xing to go to the stove room to get a jar of fragrant oil and rub the bow with the fragrant oil several times to remove the poison.
"How dare he? The previous emperor was a great and valiant man in the first half of his life, but in the second half of his life he killed his first wife because of this poison. Does he think he can compare to the previous emperor? How dare he poison himself? He really doesn't know his own limitations!" Da Xi Si Po became more and more angry, and finally said to Xing Xing with a stern face, "Until the person who poisoned you is found, you are not allowed to care about that Nie anymore!"
Xing Xing had no choice but to follow what Grandma Da Xi meant. She stepped forward and stroked Grandma Da Xi's back: "Okay, okay, Grandma Da Xi, I'll listen to you. Don't be angry. You've been angry since just now. I'm afraid you'll get sick from being angry."
The little girl leaned against her side delicately and gently. No matter how angry Grandma Da Xi was, it was almost gone by now.
and……
Da Xi Si Po knew that Xing Xing was so smart that she probably guessed that she had some relationship with the previous dynasty. But Xing Xing never asked a single question.
The little girl was so considerate and attentive to her, how could she not like her?
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to get angry." Da Xi Si Po walked into the house with her hands behind her back. "Today, your second brother's people sent some game over. I just want to roast it. Don't go back tonight. Come here and roast it with me."
"Okay, okay!" Xing Xing responded happily and caught up with Grandma Da Xi, "Grandma Da Xi, please teach me how to make the dipping sauce for the barbecue that you made last time..."
"Oh, that's my hidden talent."
"Teach me, teach me. Grandma Daxi~"
"Okay, okay, stop shaking. It makes me dizzy. Just teach me!"
The voices of the grandparents echoed in the yard, full of joy and warmth.
…
Jiao knelt in front of the small Buddhist temple with her eyes closed. Her thin face looked extremely pale.
Yu Chongjie stood at the door of the small Buddhist temple for a long time without coming in.
After Jiao finished reciting the scriptures silently and stood up, he called out "Mother" and walked in.
Jiao grabbed Yu Chongjie's arm and asked, "Have you seen your sister?"
Yu Chongjie opened his mouth.
Today he went to Baiyun Temple to deliver some supplies to his sister Yu Mingzhu. When he went there, he happened to see Yu Mingzhu kneeling in front of the statue, looking sick, praying in a sad voice, saying that she was willing to exchange her life for the safety of her family. She was wrong in the past, but now she knows that she was too willful. She hopes that the gods and Buddhas will bless her sister-in-law to recover soon and have a baby.
Yu Chongjie felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife at that time.
Yu Mingzhu was not at home these days. He returned home after work to accompany his wife Mao. During the ten-day break, he also accompanied Mao to go out for fun. Mao's health was getting better day by day, and her face was a little rosier.
At this point, Yu Chongjie could no longer deceive himself.
My wife’s poor health turned out to be caused by my younger sister.
Yu Chongjie was in agony for several days.
If Jiao had not cried and told him that she dreamed that her Zhuzhu was in Baiyun Temple and was not well fed and clothed, and asked him to go to Baiyun Temple to deliver some things to Yu Mingzhu, he would probably still be avoiding and unwilling to see Yu Mingzhu.
But this time, when he saw her, Yu Mingzhu's prayer in front of the statue really moved him.
In addition, he had a younger sister whom he had doted on since childhood. Although they were not his biological children, he had doted on her with true love for so many years. Seeing his sister's Taoist robes now empty and her little face so thin and pale, Yu Chongjie could not bear it.
Yu Chongjie still didn't make up his mind. He lowered his head and chose to tell the truth: "Mom, Zhuzhu is not having a good time in Baiyun Temple."
When Jiao heard this, her body shook.
Yu Chongjie hurriedly supported her, but Jiao grabbed Yu Chongjie's arm again and said in a trembling voice: "Not good, how can it be not good?"
"Zhuzhu has lost a lot of weight, and her clothes are now shabby. She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child, surrounded by servants. After she went to Baiyun Temple, she had to do everything by herself, and her hands were so wrinkled that they became knots..."
After hearing this, Jiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into tears: "My Zhuzhu... She has never suffered such pain since she was born! Zhuzhu... my Zhuzhu..."
Jiao cried bitterly.
Yu Chongjie helped Jiao sit down on the chair and advised, "Mom, don't cry. I've thought about it. Didn't grandpa and grandma say that Zhuzhu should go to Baiyun Temple to pray for Fuqiu? Now Fuqiu is in good health, I think. It will be mom's birthday in a few days. Why not use this as an excuse to bring Zhuzhu back home?"
When Jiao heard this, she wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly, very excited: "You are absolutely right, absolutely right!"
She couldn't help but mutter, "Chongen, that kid, has understood me and your father and is willing to get married in a proper way. I've said it before, that Wei Shuangyan, although she is the daughter of a prince, has a bad temper like a princess, has no talent or morals, and has a bad fate. If we get involved with her, we won't be afraid of bringing bad luck to our entire Xinguo Mansion..."
As she thought about this, an idea suddenly came to Jiao's mind. Xingxing still had a good temper. Even though she was a princess, she had never lost her temper...
But as soon as this thought came into Jiao's mind, she was a little dazed.
Xingxing, who looks very much like her when she was young, should be her biological daughter... But Xingxing is not close to her at all. She is very cold to her mother, but very nice to her mother-in-law!
Thinking of this, Jiao couldn't help biting her lip again, thinking sadly that a biological child is not as good as a child raised by oneself.
Her beads...
Jiao made a decision that even if she adopted her biological daughter, she would not disappoint Zhuzhu.
She grabbed Yu Chongjie's hand, ignored the thought in her mind, and said earnestly: "... Chongjie, go back and tell Mao that Zhuzhu was young and ignorant before, and she has repented now. Tell Mao not to hate Zhuzhu and don't give her a bad face when the time comes!"
Yu Chongjie paused and responded.
After coming out of Jiao's small Buddhist temple and returning to his own yard, Yu Chongjie ran into his second brother Yu Chongen, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
There was a patch of stubble under Yu Chongen's chin and some grey under his eyes, making him look a little lousy.
Yu Chongjie frowned: "Why did you get yourself into this state? If my mother saw it, she would be worried about you again."
Yu Chongen smiled bleakly, "How could that be? I have already met other young ladies as mother asked. Do you have any other opinions?"
Yu Chongjie sighed silently, patted his second brother on the shoulder, and thought for a moment: "Let's find a place tonight and have a good drink together."
