Chapter 711 The Third Young Master is Back

Many images from her memory flooded her mind. Zou Pingping covered her mouth, her expression going from shock to madness.

No wonder...no wonder!

Zou Pingping wanted to laugh out loud!

No wonder Zou Wanshi could get money from Zou Mingzhu again and again!

No wonder Zou Pingping always felt that there was something strange about Yu Mingzhu’s attitude towards her!

Such a noble and precious young lady turned out to be her sister!

Thinking of this, Zou Pingping's expression suddenly froze!

She had previously used the secret between Yu Mingzhu and Zou Wanshi to deceive Yu Mingzhu. At that time, Yu Mingzhu did not seem to be in a hurry, and it was obvious that she knew that she was deceiving her!

However, Yu Mingzhu still revealed to her that she and her elder brother were going to meet at the White Horse Temple.

Then she went to the White Horse Temple eagerly. Then, she was dragged into the woods by thieves on the path to the White Horse Temple...

The more Zou Pingping thought about it, the paler her face became.

All of this is just too coincidental!

It was such a coincidence that when she thought about it a little more deeply, she felt a chill down her spine!

Zou Pingping's face turned pale and then blue. She bit her fingernails anxiously and neurotically, and her expression changed several times.

In the end, Zou Pingping's expression was fixed on a hint of madness.

She thought, if the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xin's Mansion could be her sister, then why couldn't the eldest lady of the Duke of Xin's Mansion be her?

It's all ridiculous anyway!

Anyway, her parents are already planning to pick a good day to send her off!

What else can she do if she doesn't go crazy now? !

The madness in Zou Pingping's eyes gradually turned into reality, and finally condensed into a sneer on her lips.

…

"Madam, something happened."

Nanny Qingluan came over hurriedly and whispered a few words to the old lady of Duke Xin. After hearing this, the old lady's expression changed slightly:

"How could this be?"

Nanny Qingluan nodded and said affirmatively: "This is the news that someone from the Zou family just sent back... The eldest lady personally sent the person back to the Zou family. Considering the viciousness of the Zou family couple, I'm afraid it's not good. This third Miss Zou may not be able to save her life."

The old lady of Duke Xin was silent for a moment, and it was obvious that she believed what he said.

But her silence showed that she was thinking about a question.

Could this be a purely natural accident?

"Also... our Zou family's spies also said that Miss Zou III might have known that Miss Eldest was her sister."

The old lady of Duke Xin frowned slightly.

She had met Miss Zou San, who was young, timid, and a little stupid. She didn't know how to conceal the desire in her eyes, which was revealed directly on her face.

If Miss Zou San knew that she was doomed to die and also found out that Yu Mingzhu was her biological sister, one would really like to know what she would do.

The old lady of Duke Xin was still deep in thought when a maid came in happily, lifting the curtain from outside: "Good news to the old lady! The third young master is back!"

This is really a happy event.

The old lady of Duke Xin even had a look of joy on her face.

It's nothing. The third young master of the Duke of Xin's Mansion, Yu Chongting, has been traveling and studying for several years and has not returned home.

"Where are the people from Chongting?" asked the old lady of Duke Xin.

"The third young master said that he was exhausted from the journey and went back to his yard to change his clothes and take a bath before coming to see you." The maid replied happily.

The old lady of Duke Xin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

The news of Yu Chongting's return did dispel the haze brought by the Zou family's dirty deeds. The old lady of Duke Xin told the maid to make some chrysanthemum tea.

She still remembered that her third grandson, although young, had the same hobbies as the elderly and especially liked drinking chrysanthemum tea.

"Madam, there is one more thing..." The maid who came to report the news hesitated, obviously not knowing whether she should say it or not.

The old lady of Duke Xin said, "Just tell me straight."

The maid lowered her head: "...The Third Young Master did not come back alone, he brought a girl back with him, and the girl is now with the Crown Prince's wife."

The maid lowered her head and dared not say anything else.

The old lady of Duke Xin was stunned. It seemed that the girl brought back was not a maid bought on Chongting Road. She must be of an unusual status.

However, the old lady of Duke Xin was unwilling to interfere too much in her grandson's choice. She nodded, but did not turn her face cold and drive the person out as the Crown Prince's wife Jiao expected.

The old lady of Duke Xin said in a gentle tone: "Since this is a guest brought back by Chong Ting, then you should tell the Crown Prince's wife to entertain him well."

The maid who delivered the message bowed her head and responded, then went out quietly.

Not long after, Yu Chonghuan, after washing up, walked into the main hall with a pine-like posture.

He knelt down neatly and kowtowed three times to the old lady of Duke Xin, performing the great ceremony of kneeling and bowing: "I am an unfilial grandson. I have not been home for several years, causing you to worry about me. How is your health?"

These words made the old lady of Duke Xin almost shed tears.

"Good boy, grandma is fine." The old lady of Duke Xin waved with tears in her eyes, asking Yu Chongting to stand up and come forward.

Jiao followed behind with red eyes, obviously she had just cried.

"Third brother is back?"

Yu Mingzhu's joyful voice came in from behind the curtain.

She went out and learned on the way that her third brother had returned, so she hurried to the Duke of Xin's Mansion.

The maid in charge of communication stood there, apparently waiting for the old lady of Duke Xin to give the order before letting Yu Mingzhu in.

The joy on the face of the old lady of Duke Xin faded a little: "Let her in."

The maid took the order and left.

Yu Mingzhu's figure soon appeared in the house. She called out "Third brother", walked quickly forward, and came in front of Yu Chongting, but tears quickly fell.

Obviously very excited.

Yu Chongting looked at Yu Mingzhu with a smile: "I haven't seen you for several years. You have grown up now. I also brought a gift for you. I will give it to you when I return."

Yu Mingzhu choked up and said, "Third brother is away from home, but he never misses Mingzhu's birthday or any other festival. He always sends Mingzhu gifts. Mingzhu understands third brother's love for her."

Jiao was very moved.

Right now, both of her sons are not doing well. They have experienced a lot and they don't treat Zhuzhu as well as before.

Fortunately, the third son still loves Yu Mingzhu as always.

Yu Chongting smiled, but suddenly said to the old lady of Duke Xin: "By the way, grandmother, my grandson is going back to Beijing this time. He plans to stay in Beijing to study and not go out to study in order to prepare for the imperial examination next year."

This is indeed good news. The old lady of Duke Xin nodded repeatedly: "Good, good."

Jiao was also so excited that she was about to cry.

Yu Mingzhu was extremely happy, and she stepped forward and pulled Yu Chongting's sleeve, "Third brother, you don't know how worried I have been about you these years. Many times I looked at the south and cried, worrying that you wouldn't have enough food or clothes out there. Now that you're staying in Beijing, you can spend more time with me and show your filial piety."

These words moved Jiao even more.

Her Zhuzhu always cared about her...

Yu Chongting's eyes softened and he nodded: "Don't worry, mother. I will spend more time with you in the future. Qiyi will also join me in fulfilling my filial duties for you."

"Period...?"

Yu Mingzhu was slightly startled.

Jiao's face froze.

Yu Chongting's eyes became softer. He turned to the old lady of Duke Xin and bowed deeply again: "Grandmother, I haven't told you yet that I brought a girl with me this time. I want to marry her."

Yu Chongting said this calmly, but it caused quite a stir in the main hall!

Jiao felt a little dizzy and had to hold on to the hand of the maid beside her to stand steadily.

It would be fine if my son brought back an unidentified girl, but he asked to marry her right away. How outrageous!

Now, apart from knowing that the girl's name was Sun Qiyi and that she was of average appearance, she knew nothing about her at all!

She knows nothing about his family background or character!

But the son asked to marry her!

How could this not make Jiao suffocate!

Yu Mingzhu also had a stiff expression.

Yu Mingzhu paused for a moment and smiled stiffly: "Brother, you just came back home and suddenly mentioned this. It's too... unexpected."

Yu Chongting's expression was even gentler: "Qiyi is a very good girl, I will definitely not let her down."

Yu Mingzhu's expression looked no different from that of a normal person, but her tightly clenched hands hidden under her sleeves still revealed some of her emotions.

Why is it like this again!

Someone else comes to share her favor!

The old lady of Duke Xin's reaction was milder than that of Jiao and Yu Mingzhu, and she was even smiling.

"The girl who made our Chongting say such a thing must be a very good one." The old lady of Duke Xin joked, "I remember when Chongting was a child, he always said that he would rather not get married and travel around for the rest of his life."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yu Chongting's face.

But he still repeatedly emphasized: "That's because Qi Yi is really good. Grandma, Qi Yi is outside right now, do you want to see her?"

The old lady of Duke Xin nodded and was about to agree when Jiao couldn't help but said, "Wait a minute!"

For a moment, everyone in the room looked at her.

Jiao clutched a handkerchief in her hand and forced a smile on her face: "... Chongting has just returned, and Miss Sun also needs to have a good rest. Wouldn't it be impolite for her to meet mother in such a blatant way?"

The old lady of Duke Xin's expression faded: "What the eldest daughter-in-law said is just meeting a young man, how can it be linked to etiquette?"

Yu Chongting was stunned.

He looked at the old lady of Duke Xin, and then at his mother.

He remembered that before he left, his grandmother and his mother had a very good relationship. His grandmother would sometimes affectionately call his mother by her nickname, Atong.

It is definitely not the cold and indifferent "eldest brother's wife" at the moment.

It seems that a lot of things happened in the mansion during his travels...

Yu Chongting thought so in his heart and bowed his hands: "Grandmother and mother, please rest assured, Qiyi is a very good girl and will never offend you...Grandmother, she is also the one I have decided to spend my life with. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."

Yu Chongting had said this, and it was obvious that it was useless for Jiao to stop the old lady of Duke Xin from meeting Sun Qiyi.

Jiao's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip slightly.

The old lady of Duke Xin's smile deepened: "Good boy, go and ask Miss Sun to come over."

Yu Chongting happily agreed, turned around and went out to pick up the young lady named Sun Qiyisun.

As soon as Yu Chongting left, Jiao clutched her handkerchief and couldn't help but speak out in anxiety: "Mother, are you really planning to... let Chongting marry a woman of unknown origin?"

The old lady of Duke Xin said indifferently, "I haven't even met her yet, and I haven't asked her anything yet, but you keep saying that she has an unknown origin. Why, is it because you simply don't like Miss Sun, or because Chongting didn't marry the lady from a noble family that you chose for him, that you don't like her?"

Jiao's face became paler and paler.

She clutched the handkerchief, but finally kept silent.

Yu Chongting came in soon with a girl.

Obviously, this is the Miss Sun Qiyi Sun that Yu Chongting mentioned earlier.

The girl was born pretty. Although her facial features were nothing particularly stunning, when put together, they made people feel comfortable.

And the more you look at it, the more comfortable you feel.

She looked clear-headed and saluted to Lady Xin Guogong in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Hello, old lady."

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at him calmly and felt that Sun Qiyi was very much to her liking.

"Miss Sun, right?" The old lady of Duke Xin smiled and raised her hand, motioning her to sit down. She was very straightforward, "Just now Chongting told us that he would marry no one but you, which surprised us."

Sun Qiyi's face flushed, but he remained calm and composed as always, saying with a smile, "Chongting treats me very sincerely."

Jiao couldn't help but say, "That's nonsense! Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. How could someone do this..."

Yu Chongting interrupted: "Mom!"

Jiao was blocked and felt even more jealous!

This is her good son who has been away from home for several years!

As soon as he came back, he disobeyed her and interrupted her because of a woman of unknown origin!

Yu Mingzhu said softly, "Third brother, mother is just too worried. After all, we know nothing about this Miss Sun. It is naturally difficult for mother to accept that third brother came back so suddenly. Third brother, you should also understand mother."

Yu Mingzhu's words were impeccable, Yu Chongting took them to heart, and Jiao was so moved that she looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes.

All my sons were raised in vain!

Daughters are still the best!

Sun Qiyi glanced at Yu Mingzhu and smiled at her.

Yu Mingzhu's eyes turned cold, she felt that this man surnamed Sun was deliberately provoking her!

Yu Chongting stood up and said, "Grandmother, mother, Qiyi is from Jiangnan. Her ancestors once worked in the Imperial Hospital of the previous dynasty. Later, due to the chaos and strife, our ancestor left the palace and became a traveling doctor. He traveled all over the world and has been practicing medicine for generations. Her family background is very clean. She is not a woman of unknown origin."

Jiao took a deep breath.

Just saying "practice medicine for generations" can be considered a clean family background? !

This sounds like a poor family!

He can even mention that his ancestor was an imperial physician in the previous dynasty, which shows that there is no other person like him!

Jiao's face became uglier and uglier.

On the contrary, the old lady of Duke Xin said with great interest: "Miss Sun knows medicine. She can learn from Xing Xing later."

When Yu Mingzhu heard this, her face couldn't help but turn dark!

Yu Chongting laughed: "Grandma, who is Xingxing?"

The old lady of Duke Xin's expression became softer and softer. "When Xingxing comes in two days, you can meet her. Xingxing is a very good girl. If she hadn't helped me take care of my health in the past two years, I would have been ruined long ago."
