Chapter 672: Hitting the Pillar to Show One’s Will

Mrs. Mingguang Marquis sneered and had another person pushed in, who turned out to be dressed as a storyteller.

The storyteller knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve: "Ladies, please spare my life, please spare my life! I just took the money and spread a rumor that was not true... Please spare my life!"

Yu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, she still looked confused, but in her heart she was angrily cursing Cheng Yuying for being incapable of accomplishing anything but always causing trouble!

The wife of Marquis Mingguang said angrily, "Tell me, who instructed you to spread those rumors about my sister Hui?"

The storyteller pointed at Cheng Yuying tremblingly.

Cheng Yuying's face turned pale and she was speechless.

Jiao couldn't help but frowned and said, "Look, that rumor was spread by this little girl. What does it have to do with our Zhuzhu?"

The wife of Marquis Mingguang sneered again, "Don't be anxious, sister-in-law. My sister Hui does know a failed scholar. My daughter is kind-hearted. Seeing that the failed scholar was poor but still doing charity for the people in the suburbs, she also felt compassion and paid money to help the people repair their yard. Apart from that, it was a normal relationship. But then again, Cheng Yuying didn't know my sister Hui, so how did she know all this?"

Everyone looked at Cheng Yuying, whose face turned pale and red.

She really couldn't bear it anymore and looked to Yu Mingzhu for help.

Yu Mingzhu was furious, what an idiot!

Yu Mingzhu knelt down and cried, "So that's how it is. No wonder my aunt blames me. It was indeed my fault..."

He was the first to admit his mistake.

Jiao was struck by lightning: "Zhuzhu, is it really you?!"

Yu Mingzhu's tears came quickly, and her eyes were filled with tears at this moment: "Mother, Aying has admired the young master of the Marquis of Qinchuan for a long time. Two days ago, she learned that the young master of the Marquis of Qinchuan was discussing marriage with cousin Hui, and she came to me sadly to ask about cousin Hui. I saw that she was very sad, so I picked out a few good deeds done by cousin Hui and told her about them. I just wanted to persuade her that cousin Hui is a very good person, and she and the young master of the Marquis of Qinchuan are a perfect match...but I didn't expect that Aying would use this to slander cousin Hui..."

Yu Mingzhu cried sadly and looked very regretful.

Cheng Yuying stood there with an unhappy look on her face, but she did not refute.

But Lady Mingguang sneered: "Oh? You mean, you did it unintentionally? ... I say, Mingzhu, do you really think I'm a fool?"

Yu Mingzhu's tears rolled down her cheeks: "Aunt, no matter how you look at me, it was really an unintentional mistake..."

She looked at Jiao sadly again: "Mother, please believe me!"

Jiao naturally believed Yu Mingzhu, and she quickly said, "Good child, mother knows you definitely didn't mean it..."

"Come on!"

The wife of Marquis Mingguang suddenly flew into a rage and interrupted Jiao: "Sister-in-law, wake up! Haven't you noticed that there are too many unusual things happening around your good daughter?"

"I won't say much about Chongjie's past. Chongjie has now reached the point of divorcing Fuqiu! He is now living a life of drunkenness and debauchery! Just tell me, does this have anything to do with your good daughter?!"

Jiao was speechless, but wanted to defend Yu Mingzhu. Just as she said "but", the wife of Marquis Mingguang interrupted her with a sneer:

"Let's talk about Chong'en! At first, Miss Wei's fate-changing tower was almost completed, but what happened? A maidservant by your good daughter's side, because she loved Chong'en, was so 'bold' that she destroyed Miss Wei's fate-changing tower! As a result, Chong'en and Miss Wei, who were originally fine, could not be together openly for the rest of their lives! Sister-in-law, think about it carefully! Do you really think that this matter was really the fault of that maidservant? "

"And a few days ago, your good daughter's maid Qingqing was found dead on the street. Let me tell you something else. I heard that it was your good daughter who pushed Qingqing to that lunatic!"

Madam Mingguang sneered: "You don't really think your good daughter is pure and flawless, do you?!"

Jiao's face turned pale and she took a step back, unable to bear the burden.

Yu Mingzhu's face was also extremely ugly! She had never thought that her aunt, who had always been elegant and graceful, would be so reckless and throw herself at her because of a few rumors!

She did have some selfish motives at the time, and was somewhat dissatisfied with Cheng Yuying for talking about some of Lou Ruhui's private affairs, but Cheng Yuying wanted to make a big deal about these things, so what did it have to do with her!

Besides, is it possible that the pure and innocent Lou Ruhui was not really attracted to that poor and ugly guy?

How can you blame her for this?!

Did Yu Rouzhi really make such a big fuss?

And he brought up all those previous things!

Even the fact that Qingqing was killed by a madman can be blamed on her? !

Yu Mingzhu's lips trembled slightly—she was angry!

She suddenly looked at Jiao, but suddenly found that Jiao's eyes were a little hesitant, as if hesitating about something!

Yu Mingzhu was in a great panic. She knew that her identity as a fake daughter was almost exposed, and her elder and second brothers treated her differently because of various things. If it weren't for the fact that Jiao still loved her, she would have no place to stay in this mansion!

Yu Mingzhu couldn't help but look at the old lady of Duke Xin again.

However, the indifferent look of the old lady of Duke Xin, as if she saw through everything, made Yu Mingzhu tremble involuntarily.

no!

This cannot happen!

In an instant, Yu Mingzhu made up her mind!

She cried with great grievance, "I didn't know that in my aunt's heart, all these things were my fault! It turns out that I am the root of trouble in the whole mansion! ... But whether my aunt believes it or not, I never wanted to do that! Mingzhu is willing, and I will die to show my will!"

Yu Mingzhu shouted loudly and crashed directly into the pillar closest to her.

Yu Mingzhu rushed so fast that others couldn't react at all!

There was a "bang" sound, and a flower bloomed on Yu Mingzhu's head, and her body fell limply to the ground.

Jiao was so frightened that she shouted, "Zhuzhu!"

She rushed over using almost all her hands and feet, hugging Yu Mingzhu's soft body, and she was completely devastated.

Not to mention Jiao, even the wife of Marquis Mingguang, who was determined to find Yu Mingzhu to hold her accountable, was dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that Yu Mingzhu would actually bump into the pillar? !

Cheng Yuying was so frightened that she sat paralyzed on the ground. How could she have thought that Yu Mingzhu would commit suicide just like that? !

Even the old lady of Duke Xin was stunned.

She glanced at Xing Xing subconsciously.

Xingxing understood what the old lady of Duke Xin meant. She stepped forward, grabbed Yu Mingzhu's wrist, and felt her pulse.

Jiao's family had already collapsed. They looked at Xingxing and begged, "Xingxing, Xingxing, please save Zhuzhu, save her..."

Xingxing didn't know why, but seeing Jiao's breakdown like this, she felt a little sad and uncomfortable.

Xing Xing pursed her lips, suppressed the inexplicable emotions, and nodded: "It's okay, Madam Crown Prince, don't worry."

Others might have thought the crash was scary, but in fact, Yu Mingzhu was too close to the pillar and was basically not killed by it. It just looked scary.

Of course, to be cautious, Xingxing also took Yu Mingzhu's pulse and confirmed that Yu Mingzhu was not dead.

"Are you okay? Are you really okay?..." Jiao held the unconscious Yu Mingzhu and refused to let go, confirming with Xingxing again and again.

Xing Xing nodded: "They are just superficial injuries, they won't cause any harm to your life."

Jiao cried and laughed, but she was still worried: "Then, why hasn't Zhuzhu woken up yet?"

Xing Xing said: "Because she was knocked unconscious."

Jiao paused for a moment, then looked at the wife of Marquis Mingguang angrily: "Aunt, are you satisfied now? You almost forced Zhuzhu to death!"

In fact, Lady Mingguang Hou just wanted to teach Yu Mingzhu a lesson and didn't really want to do anything to her.

This collision with the pillar is really horrific.

Mrs. Mingguang Hou felt extremely aggrieved!

No, you bullied my daughter, I sought justice for her, and you turned around and banged your head against the pillar?!

Suddenly, the person who had to seek redress became the victim's mother!

It's so frustrating!

But the other party had already hit the pillar, and if Lady Mingguang continued to refuse to give in, it would seem...

Mrs. Mingguang Marquis let out a long sigh. She felt so aggrieved!

Mrs. Mingguang Marquis could only turn around and look at Cheng Yuying.

The wife of Marquis Mingguang sneered: "Since my good niece is seeking death, I can't say anything more. I can only ask Miss Cheng to bring me to your house as a guest!"

Cheng Yuying was trembling, and wanted to ask Yu Mingzhu for help, but Yu Mingzhu was still fainting with blood all over her head!

Madam Mingguang asked someone to take Cheng Yuying out first. She looked at the old lady of Duke Xin, unsure of her attitude: "Mother..."

The old lady of the Duke of Xin looked very unhappy: "It doesn't matter, you go to the Cheng family first and let the Cheng family discipline Cheng Yuying and solve the rumors about Sister Hui."

Mrs. Mingguang's eyes were filled with tears.

That’s great, at least her mother is not senile!

The wife of Marquis Mingguang left in a hurry again. Before leaving, she told Xingxing: "Good Xingxing, go talk to my Huijie when you have time. Our good Xingxing is much better than any cousins. At least she won't gossip behind your back!"

Jiao hugged Yu Mingzhu on the ground, and was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood: "Zhuzhu is like this, and you are still so weird!"

Mrs. Mingguang Hou snorted, ignored her dizzy sister-in-law, and walked away with her head held high.

Xingxing helped bandage the wound on Yu Mingzhu's head. Jiao kept asking if it would leave scars or something. She also asked Xingxing to prescribe some good scar-removing medicine, saying that Zhuzhu loved beauty and must not leave scars.

Xing Xing was silent for a moment and said nothing.

But the old lady of Duke Xin couldn't stand it any longer. She said angrily, "Who do you think you are ordering?! Xingxing is a princess, and she is willing to treat Mingzhu because of an old woman like me! She doesn't care about these things, but you can't order her like this! Mingzhu is not hers!"

Jiao felt extremely aggrieved. She never expected her mother-in-law to be so angry with her!

Her Zhuzhu is almost dying. Is this the time to consider whether to give orders or not?

"Don't feel wronged." The old lady of Duke Xin looked sullen, "Mingzhu's matter is not over yet!"

Jiao's eyes were red, she didn't understand what was going on.

The old lady of Duke Xin said coldly, "If she really has a clear conscience, why doesn't she present the evidence and explain the matter clearly? She keeps saying death and life all the time. We have raised her for more than ten years in the Duke's Mansion, and this is what we taught her?! I'll say this in advance. When Mingzhu's injury is almost healed, we will send her out of the Duke's Mansion."

Jiao was struck by lightning: "Mother, what did you say?! You want it, you want it..."

The old lady of Duke Xin's eyes flashed with undisguised disgust: "Yes, you heard it right! Whether Mingzhu did it intentionally or not, she harmed Hui Jie'er! After your aunt came to make trouble, she even threatened your aunt with death! What's more, she never thought about apologizing to Hui Jie'er from beginning to end!... With such a character, we dare not keep her in the Duke's Mansion!"

Jiao was scolded by the old lady of Duke Xin, and could only helplessly defend Yu Mingzhu: "...No, mother, Zhuzhu definitely doesn't think so...She is still a child after all, how can she think so much..."

However, the old lady of Duke Xin was determined and did not listen to Jiao's explanation. She stood up with a cold face and called Xingxing again: "Xingxing, follow me to the room."

He took Xingxing away directly.

Jiao was in the hall, holding Yu Mingzhu, and was confused for a moment.

When Mingzhu woke up, it was already dark. She saw Jiao sitting on the bed with her back to her.

Yu Mingzhu suppressed her inexplicably uneasy mood and called her mother in a hoarse voice.

Jiao turned around suddenly and hugged Yu Mingzhu in grief: "You kid, are you awake? Why are you so confused?"

Yu Mingzhu leaned in Jiao's arms. For some reason, her eyelids twitched violently and she felt something was wrong.

"mother……"

Yu Mingzhu asked in a hoarse voice: "...Where is my aunt? Has my aunt forgiven me?"

Mrs. Jiao recalled the appearance of her sister-in-law before she left. She paused for a moment and became speechless.

Yu Mingzhu's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. She tried to ask, "Mom, how about I go and apologize to my aunt and cousin now..."

As she spoke, Yu Mingzhu pretended to get out of bed.

Jiao was immediately distressed and held Yu Mingzhu down while crying: "My poor Zhuzhu! Your wound hasn't healed yet and you want to get out of bed to apologize to your aunt and cousin. How can this be what your grandmother said..."

Jiao felt so aggrieved that she realized she had let the cat out of the bag halfway through her speech.

But Yu Mingzhu felt something was wrong. She tried to calm herself down and asked, "Mom, what did grandma say?"

Jiao's eyes were wandering. She didn't want Yu Mingzhu to be unable to recover properly because of this incident.

Seeing Jiao like this, Yu Mingzhu became even more anxious: "No, mother, tell me!"

Jiao was at a loss for words after being asked by Yu Mingzhu. She closed her eyes and cried, "Your grandmother said that she would send you away when your injury heals! But Zhuzhu, don't be afraid. Mother still has three houses under her name. When the time comes, you can live in one of the houses under her name, and no one can say anything—"

Yu Mingzhu could no longer hear what Jiao said next.

All she could think about was "I'll send you out once you're healed!"

There was a roar in Yu Mingzhu's ears, making her feel dizzy.

For a moment, he actually gritted his teeth and his eyes became fierce!

Why! That old man, why did he send her away?
