Chapter 691: Even
The mansion of Duke Xin was filled with gloom, and the mansion of Prince Jiping was no less gloomy.
Prince Jiping gritted his teeth, tied up Wei Shuangyan, and took his crown prince and second son Wei Zihang with him to write a letter to the Duke's Mansion to apologize.
Princess Jiping woke up from her coma and chased after him, gritting her teeth and saying, "I'll go too. Although Yanyan's current situation is caused by Yu Erlang, it's also my fault. If I had been cruel enough to tie her up and send her far away, there wouldn't be such a disaster today."
Prince Jiping sighed.
Wei Shuangyan's hands were tied, her eyes were red, and she looked crazy. She hadn't yet escaped from her madness.
A handkerchief was stuffed in her mouth. Firstly, they were afraid that she would say something that the Princess would not be able to bear. Secondly, they were also worried that Wei Shuangyan would do something to hurt herself in her madness.
Princess Jiping tried her best not to look at her daughter. After getting on the carriage, she leaned against the compartment with her eyes closed, listening to her daughter's sobbing sounds and almost burst into tears.
In addition to Yu Erlang from the Duke of Xin's mansion, there was also a prostitute named Fang'ai who lost her life.
If it happened under normal circumstances, it would be fine, it would just be a matter of spending some money to cover it up.
But this time, her daughter forced the prostitute named Fangai to jump off a building in public, and then she happened to encounter a speeding carriage, which hit the prostitute to death. According to the laws of Daxia, her daughter should bear most of the responsibility for Fangai's death!
In addition, her daughter almost stabbed Chong En to death, so I'm afraid this matter will not end well!
The more Princess Jiping thought about it, the more hateful she became.
I hate myself for not educating my daughter well and teaching her to love herself before loving others.
She also hated Yu Chongen for being so heartless and betraying her daughter, otherwise her daughter would not have been provoked to the point of hurting others.
When they arrived at the Mansion of Duke Xin, the people from the Mansion of Duke Xin did not make things difficult for the people from the Mansion of Prince Jiping. The servants welcomed the people from the Mansion of Prince Jiping according to etiquette and escorted them all the way to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, the old Duke Xin, his son, and Jiao were all there.
In addition, Xingxing and Lou Ruhui, as eyewitnesses at the time, were also present.
Prince Jiping pulled himself together and bowed to the old Duke Xin: "Old Duke, I have come here with my daughter to apologize for my crime."
Jiao couldn't help but yelled in hatred: "Does the prince know that my Chong'en almost died? What a good daughter you raised!"
Princess Jiping held back and kept silent.
Prince Jiping sighed, "Due to her fate, her mother and I have always favored Shuangyan. We never thought she would cause such a disaster!... Today, the prince and the princess sent this inferior girl here to make her atone for her crime. However, this inferior girl is pregnant with Erlang's child, so I hope you can show some mercy when you punish her."
After these words were spoken, Jiao fell silent for a while.
Wei Shuangyan stood there with her hands trapped and a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, looking somewhat defiant. She looked coldly at Jiao in front of her, her eyes full of mockery.
Jiao was furious at Wei Shuangyan's look. She clutched the handkerchief in her hand, sneered, and said bitterly: "Don't say that, Prince. We don't deserve it! Who dares to punish your second young lady? Otherwise, she will come back and stab us again! You should all go back!"
The old Duke of Xin and the Duke's son remained silent.
Although they would not do anything to Wei Shuangyan for the sake of the baby in her belly, Wei Shuangyan did not show any attitude of admitting her mistakes at the moment, and they could not just forgive Wei Shuangyan for Yu Chongen - if Jiao wanted to vent her anger, as long as it did not hurt anyone, then let her do it.
Prince Jiping naturally heard the resentment in Jiao's tone, and he glanced at his own princess anxiously.
He was not good at dealing with female relatives. Since the Xin Guo Mansion had asked Jiao to deal with the matter, it was natural that the Princess should deal with the matter on their side.
The Princess of Jiping County hated Yu Chong'en, and naturally she also hated Jiao.
Ever since Wei Shuangyan became pregnant and Jiao and Yu Chongen had that attitude, she no longer had any friendship with Jiao.
Princess Jiping was furious as she had to beg for mercy from Jiao because of her daughter's matter.
But she had to show up - otherwise, would she really have to let her daughter go to jail and suffer the pain of imprisonment or exile?
For Wei Shuangyan, Princess Jiping could only grit her teeth and say, "...This time it was indeed our Yanyan who was too impulsive. But you have watched Yanyan grow up, and you know her character. She was impulsive for a moment, and she will never do this again in the future."
Jiao said coldly, "I don't think so. Our Chong'en has made it very clear to Miss Wei, but Miss Wei still keeps pestering him. It's normal for us to listen to a song outside, but she was so jealous that she took a dagger and wanted to kill our Chong'en, and stabbed him twice!"
Jiao became more and more angry as she spoke, and she started to cry. "The blood was being poured out in basins. You don't know how deep your daughter was stabbed. Xingxing also said that if it was one centimeter deeper, she would have died instantly!"
Seeing that Jiao refused to give in and even got angrier the more she spoke, Princess Jiping became very anxious.
When she saw Jiao mentioned Xingxing, she looked at Xingxing as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and asked for help: "Princess, weren't you there at the time? Please say something for our Yanyan."
Xingxing was a little embarrassed.
How can she speak for Wei Shuangyan?
From an objective point of view, Wei Shuangyan almost killed Yu Chongen and forced the prostitute Fang Ai to jump off a building, causing her to lose her life. These are all established facts.
When Jiao saw that Princess Jiping actually asked Xingxing for help, she became even more furious: "Don't even think about asking Xingxing to help you! Chong'en is her..."
She paused, and almost said "it was her second brother". When the words came to her lips, she turned a corner abruptly, "She saw Chong En being stabbed by your good daughter with her own eyes! Is this true? "
The situation reached a stalemate, and finally it was Old Xin Guo who spoke out: "... Chong'en was the first to let down the young lady from the Wei family. He clearly couldn't marry a young lady, but he still had a child with the young lady from the Wei family. To be a man, one must first cultivate virtue. If one's virtue is not up to standard, disaster will naturally befall him."
Prince Jiping knew what was going on. He gritted his teeth and promised, "Old Duke, as long as you believe that the Duke's Mansion will forgive me this time, I can guarantee that I will never bother the second son of your mansion again! From now on, marriage and marriage will have nothing to do with each other!"
Wei Shuangyan, whose mouth was blocked, cried out angrily.
Obviously disagree.
"Enough!" Prince Jiping turned around and slapped Wei Shuangyan with his backhand.
“Bang!”
The crisp sound of applause made the whole room silent.
Prince Jiping glared at Wei Shuangyan: "You have caused such a disaster, and you still don't know how to reflect on it?!"
After being slapped by Prince Jiping, Wei Shuangyan's mouth was bleeding, and she finally calmed down a little.
Prince Jiping turned around and bowed to the old Duke Xin, "Old Duke, as long as you promise not to pursue this inferior daughter of mine, I can guarantee that the grudge between this inferior daughter of mine and the second son of your family will end here. The disaster of the second son of your family and the fact that my daughter is pregnant will be even."
Old Duke Xin did not speak for a long time.
After a long while, he asked the prince Yu Shanglian and Jiao: "What do you think?"
Yu Shanglian's face looked a little unhappy, but he still felt that no matter what, Wei Shuangyan was pregnant with the child of his second son. This was the trouble that his second son had caused first, so now they were even and the matter was over.
Yu Shanglian simply nodded: "Father, I have no opinion."
Although Jiao still had hatred in her heart, she wished Wei Shuangyan would sacrifice her life for her son.
But she also knew that this was impossible. If the Prince Jiping's Mansion could make a promise, then the matter would be even and the matter would be settled.
Jiao looked unwilling but nodded reluctantly.
Wei Shuangyan realized something, her face flushed and she was filled with anger.
But she was under the control of others and had no say in what she did.
The old Duke Xin sighed and finally said, "It is my fault for not educating my son strictly. So let it be."
Prince Jiping heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to the old Duke Xin: "In that case, I will take my daughter back. Please rest assured, old Duke, from now on, I will never let my daughter appear in front of the second son of your mansion again."
Princess Jiping County Prince's wife shed tears. She understood what Prince Jiping meant, which was to send her daughter far away and never allow her to return to Beijing.
Prince Jiping and his family left.
Jiao tugged at her handkerchief with some resentment, obviously very unwilling.
However, the old Duke Xin started coughing violently.
Xing Xing was startled and looked worried. She hurried forward to take the pulse of the old Duke Xin.
The Prince of Xin also came over in a hurry: "Father!"
Right now the wife of Duke Xin is already ill, and we can’t let my father fall ill again!
The old Duke Xin had an ugly face and cursed: "...If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have known that Chong'en actually gave the girl a child! Since he can't marry her, why did he provoke her? This incident today is all his own fault!"
The old Duke Xin cursed coldly, and the Crown Prince Yu Shang didn't dare to say a word.
Jiao couldn't help but said, "Father, this is something we both wanted to do, and it's not entirely our Chong'en's fault..."
The old Duke Xin glanced at Jiao coldly and said, "Shut up! You are also a woman, you should know how difficult it is for women in this world! Don't be unreasonable just because Chong'en is your son!"
It was rare for the old Duke Xin to speak to his daughter-in-law in such a harsh tone.
Jiao didn't dare to say anything more.
Xing Xing, on the other hand, sighed softly and said politely, "My Lord, please stop being angry. It's not good for your health. You coughed just now because you were too angry."
Old Duke Xin couldn't get angry at Xing Xing at all. He sighed and said, "Okay, listen to our Xing Xing."
The old Duke Xin looked at Yu Shanglian again and said, "Xingxing saved Chongen's life and your mother today, and she is speaking for you here. For Xingxing's sake, I will not scold you today. Get out now!"
Yu Shanglian nodded his head and said yes, then said to Xing Xing, "Thank you, Princess."
Xingxing shook her head and humbled herself, and then Yu Shanglian went out with Jiao.
…
Jiao went straight to Yu Chongen's yard.
Yu Mingzhu was sitting in front of Yu Chongen's bed, holding a handkerchief in her hand, wiping the cold sweat from the unconscious Yu Chongen's forehead.
Seeing Yu Mingzhu like this, Jiao almost burst into tears again.
Xing Xing was there just now, and she didn't say a word to help blame Wei Shuangyan. She still felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing how well Yu Mingzhu was taking care of Yu Chongen, she felt very sad.
After all, I have raised it for more than ten years, there is no comparison!
"Mother, you're back?" Yu Mingzhu heard the commotion and came over, whispering, "Don't worry, the imperial physician has just come to see you. My second brother is no longer in danger of dying. He just needs to be taken care of."
Jiao's eyes were red: "Zhuzhu, I'm lucky to have you. Otherwise, there would be so many people at home who would be troublesome. What would mother do?"
Yu Mingzhu consoled Jiao for a long time before asking, "What do the people in the Prince Jiping's Mansion say?"
Jiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "What else can I do? Just say that your second brother's injury this time was offset by the piece of meat in that bastard's belly... Zhuzhu, if she wasn't pregnant with your second brother's flesh and blood, I really want to send her to jail with my own hands! Let her suffer!"
Yu Mingzhu leaned her head on Jiao's shoulder and sighed, "Mother, I hate Wei Shuangyan to death. My second brother had already made things clear with her, but she still kept pestering me... The bitter fruit today is clearly Wei Shuangyan's own fault. She dared to pester me with such a fate. Mother, don't you think this is also in line with her fate? She is bringing bad luck to my second brother——"
Jiao was shocked, and the more she thought about Yu Mingzhu's words, the more she felt that this was the case!
She was even more thankful that she didn't let her son continue to be entangled with Wei Shuangyan. Wei Shuangyan was a jinx to her husband and family. She almost killed someone before they even got married. If she continued to be entangled with him, what would happen? !
Seeing Jiao's expression change, Yu Mingzhu said, "So, mother, when your second brother recovers from his injury, let's find him a gentle and kind sister-in-law. Keep her away from Wei Shuangyan and never let her harm your second brother again."
Jiao nodded heavily: "Zhuzhu is absolutely right!"
A hint of secret joy flashed in Yu Mingzhu's eyes.
She hated the vicious Shuang Yan Ji so much. That bastard should never have anything to do with their family again!
…
Xingxing was sent back to the Yu family by people from the Xin Guo Mansion in the evening.
This matter caused a lot of uproar, and the Yu family was worried, fearing that Xingxing was hurt somewhere.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief only when Xingxing returned safely.
Bai Xiaofeng sighed, "...Is the rumor out there true or not? Was it really spread by Miss Wei, who was previously discussing marriage with Mr. Yu?"
Xingxing nodded.
Bai Xiaofeng sighed again, "I don't know how upset Madam Jiao must be. As a mother, how can she feel good when she sees her son being injured so badly? When your fourth brother was injured a few days ago, I wished that the injury had happened to me."
At this point, Bai Xiaofeng said angrily, "Don't let the thief who hurt your fourth brother fall into my hands! Otherwise, I will definitely skin him alive!"
Apricot apricot stem.
No, her second aunt didn’t know yet. The “thief” who hurt her fourth brother a few days ago was recuperating in their house…
