Chapter 720 Fake Sister and Real Sister

Zou Wan's face suddenly changed. She didn't even care about Shuntian Prefecture's ban and screamed, "He's lying! He's lying! I don't even know him!"

The old boatman was still a little angry when he saw Zou Wanshi: "You vicious woman, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you! The scene of you throwing that little girl away is like engraved in my mind! ... I don't understand, how can such a small girl hinder you? What can a few extra pounds on the boat do?! Even if you don't want to take her, why do you leave her on the big boat?! How can you be so cruel! The pirates don't kill such a small girl!"

Zou Wanshi turned pale and tried to make excuses, but she didn't know what to say. She could only yell, "This doesn't mean anything! What's the use? It's useless, absolutely useless!"

This is a situation where things are exposed and one can only relieve the guilt of consciousness by making trouble unreasonably.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor slapped the wooden pillar in anger again: "You woman, you have never spoken a word of truth! This shows that you are such a person. You accused Princess Fusui because you wanted to bully her because you raised her for two or three years when she was young. You want to frame the princess!"

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng had tears in their eyes at this moment. They nodded repeatedly, wishing they could call him "Master".

Yes, that's it!

This woman with ulterior motives, extremely vicious and not even a human being can ever tell the truth!

How could she, how dare she, abuse Xing Xing, the one they held so dearly in their palms like this!

…

Qi Huang hurried into Yu Mingzhu's room and locked the door.

The room was huge, with curtains drawn on all the windows, and it felt a little dim in the room.

A figure can be vaguely seen sitting in the chair next to the table.

Seeing Qi Huang coming in, the figure stood up suddenly.

"What's wrong?" The figure was obviously the owner of the house, Yu Mingzhu. Her voice was a little hoarse as she asked Qihuang anxiously.

"Those bandits have already split up into small groups and fled into the mountains. All traces have been wiped out." Qi Huang said.

Yu Mingzhu murmured, "That's good, that's good."

But as she spoke, Yu Mingzhu's pale face turned even more furious: "...You can't even do such a simple job, and yet you dare to take tens of thousands of taels of silver from me!...You are a bunch of rubbish! You said you would wipe out the whole family, but you still left three of them alive!"

Yu Mingzhu walked around the room in a state of despair.

She pulled her hair nervously: "... Zou Wanshi is still alive, Zou Pingping is also still alive! It's all because of that Sun who meddled in other people's business... They actually dared to sue Yu Xingxing in Shuntian Prefecture!"

She kept muttering, becoming more and more frustrated.

Although Yu Mingzhu would be happy if someone sued Yu Xingxing to Shuntian Prefecture, this was not the right time!

If Zou Wanshi and her family do this, they will only make things worse!

"...Have you inquired about the situation in Shuntian Prefecture?"

Yu Mingzhu suddenly turned around and asked Qihuang.

Qi Huang was silent.

"...Zou Wan sued Princess Fusui, saying she hired someone to commit murder..."

Yu Mingzhu said impatiently: "I already know all this, what else?!"

Yu Mingzhu couldn't help but curse, "Is she stupid?! Yu Xingxing is a princess, who would believe that she would kill a whole family of civilians for no reason!"

No matter how much Yu Mingzhu disliked Yu Xingxing, she also felt that Zou Wanshi was out of her mind and very outrageous!

Qi Huang paused, her tone somewhat subtle: "...I listened at the door for a while, Zou Wanshi said that it was because Princess Fusui was raised by her, and then Princess Fusui accidentally fell into the river, so Princess Fusui has always misunderstood and resented them..."

"What?!"

Yu Mingzhu was like being struck by lightning!

Shocking and turbulent were not enough to describe her feelings. Yu Mingzhu was shaking madly while holding onto the table.

She had asked Zou Wanshi before, and Zou Wanshi only said that the child she replaced fell into the river and died, but she never told her that the child was Yu Xingxing? !

Yu Xingxing...Yu Xingxing is the child whose life was swapped with hers? !

Yu Mingzhu was breathing rapidly and even had difficulty breathing!

Yu Xingxing…

She never thought that it was Yu Xingxing!

Could this be the reason why she somehow disliked Yu Xingxing so much?

Yu Mingzhu curled her fingers tightly together, her breathing became rapid, and she felt like laughing crazily.

Yu Xingxing!

It turned out that she was the real legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion who was replaced by the Zou family!

Hahahaha, who could have expected it!

Yu Mingzhu was a little crazy, and she bent down silently and laughed.

Qi Huang just looked at Yu Mingzhu in silence.

After a while, Yu Mingzhu suddenly thought of something, straightened up, and murmured, "My mother is fine, but my brothers also treated Yu Xingxing very badly... But my grandparents, those two old fools, treated Xingxing even better than me. Do you think they knew about it a long time ago?"

Qi Huang paused and said, "I don't know. But I just went to the Shuntian government office to inquire about the news and saw that the Duke and the old lady were there."

Yu Mingzhu grinned silently.

really!

Those two old fools have known for a long time that Yu Xingxing is their granddaughter, so they acted in such a biased way and targeted her in everything!

Yu Mingzhu felt that she had figured out a lot of things, but her mind was in a mess because of such a big thing.

She sat and stood up from time to time.

Sometimes he breathed in and out sharply, and sometimes he muttered to himself as if to comfort himself.

Before Yu Mingzhu could calm down, a maid knocked on the door, her tone somewhat panicked:

"My lady, someone from the Duke and the old lady sent a message asking you to come over."

Yu Mingzhu froze, and it took her a long while to find her voice again: "...What?"

She tried hard to hold back the trembling in her voice so that it wouldn't sound too outrageous.

She just found out that Duke Xin and his wife were in Shuntian Prefecture. What were they asking her to do now?

Take her to court?!

Let her face Zou Wanshi in court? !

Did they know something?!

Yu Mingzhu began to tremble again.

But at this time, Jiao came in a hurry again.

Yu Mingzhu could hear Jiao asking the maid in the yard, "Where is the eldest lady?"

"Madam, the eldest lady is in the room."

Jiao's breathing rose and fell slightly, and it was obvious that she was angry. She was rarely seen outside in front of the servants, and she showed some resentment towards the old couple of Duke Xin: "Father and mother, how could you do this! Zhuzhu is a rich lady, and they asked her to go to the court to confront them. This is outrageous!"

Yu Mingzhu was listening in the room. Her stiff eyes moved around and she realized something.

Jiao had no idea from the beginning to the end that Yu Xingxing was her biological daughter!

Moreover, even after knowing that she was not her biological daughter, Jiao still treated her well as always...

Yu Mingzhu stumbled, pushed the door open and rushed out.

She rushed over and hugged Jiao, looking at her in surprise and worry, resting her head on her shoulder, trembling slightly.

Jiao was heartbroken: "My son, what happened to you? Why are you crying like this?"

Yu Mingzhu trembled slightly: "Mom, I just slept for a while and had a nightmare. I dreamed of..."

Yu Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said something cruel, "I dreamed that I was captured by bandits. I couldn't escape no matter how hard I tried. Finally, they chased me to the edge of a cliff, and I jumped off the cliff..."

Only then did Jiao breathe a sigh of relief.

She thought something had happened, but it turned out that her daughter was just having a nightmare.

Jiao hugged Yu Mingzhu distressedly: "Silly Zhuzhu, dreams are never real, they are all the opposite... Good child, don't cry, your crying breaks your mother's heart."

As she spoke, Jiao hugged Yu Mingzhu into the house again, ordered the maid to bring hot water, and personally squeezed out a warm towel to wipe Yu Mingzhu's face.

The maid who came to deliver the message hesitated several times. Finally, when she saw Jiao and Yu Mingzhu packed up and sat side by side on the couch holding hands, she mustered up the courage to step forward and ask, "Madam, Miss, the messenger sent by the Duke and the old lady has been urging us several times outside the courtyard. What do you think..."

Jiao held Yu Mingzhu's hand with pity and refused outright: "The Duke and the old lady have always loved Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu is not feeling well right now, so why bother going to a place like Shuntianfu? Please tell the messenger that the eldest lady is ill and cannot go."

The maid who delivered the message opened her mouth several times and hesitated to speak, but finally responded with a bitter face and went to find the person sent by the old Duke Xin to deliver the message - that person was a long-term servant and it was not convenient for him to enter the eldest lady's inner courtyard. She had to get a reply for delivering the message.

At this moment, the long-time attendant who was delivering the message for the old Duke Xin was waiting at the Moon Gate, extremely anxious.

I've been waiting for the stars and the moon, but how much time has passed and there's still no news at all.

The attendant who delivered the message could not help but touch the sword at his waist. Thinking about the tone of the Duke's words when he had instructed him previously, he was ready to force his way in.

Coincidentally, the inner court maid who had passed the message to Yu Mingzhu finally came over breathlessly. Before she could say anything, the third young master Yu Chongting and Sun Qiyi came over on the long courtyard road.

Sun Qiyi had just returned from Shuntianfu. Her family had a long history of studying medicine, and the coroner there had a close relationship with one of her father's apprentices, so she was asked to go over and help with some reference.

But she never expected to meet the grandparents of her fiancé Yu Chongting in Shuntian Prefecture.

Coincidentally, when Yu Chongting went to Shuntianfu to pick up Sun Qiyi, the old Duke Xin arranged another task for him:

"Take Miss Sun back to the mansion and ask her to check if your sister is sick."

Yu Chongting was touched. On the way back, he listened to Sun Qiyi's general account of what had happened in the Shuntian Prefecture government office. Yu Chongting was greatly shocked.

Thinking about the Princess Fusui whom I met before, it turned out that she was my biological sister... It was really too shocking.

The maids and attendants all hurried to pay their respects to Yu Chongting.

Sun Qiyi suddenly said, "This is the long-time attendant who came to the mansion to deliver the message earlier."

Although these words seemed nonsensical, Yu Chongting immediately understood what his fiancée meant.

Yu Chongting raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? Didn't Grandfather ask you to come to the mansion to pass on a message?"

The long-servant hastily bowed and said, "I sent someone to pass on the message, but unfortunately the messenger just came back..."

Yu Chongting looked at the other maid present.

The maid was sweating profusely and knelt down to salute: "Third Master, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that the eldest lady seems to be feeling unwell... Madam feels sorry for the eldest lady's discomfort and said that the Duke and the old lady love the eldest lady and will not care about it..."

When Yu Chongting heard this, his heart sank slightly.

Could it be that Zhuzhu also knows?

Yu Chongting was shocked enough to know that Princess Fusui was most likely his biological sister.

But now he knew that Zhuzhu, who had been his sister for more than ten years, might have known the whole story for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Yu Chongting let out a long sigh.

Sun Qiyi looked at him quietly without saying a word.

This is obviously asking Yu Chongting to choose between the "fake sister" who grew up with him and accompanied him for more than ten years, or the "real sister" who had a miserable life and was stranded outside and finally had a glimmer of hope to return to her roots.

Although Sun Qiyi had her own opinions, she did not want to interfere with Yu Chongting's decision.

"You mean, the eldest lady is sick?" Yu Chongting finally spoke in a heavy tone.

The maid nodded repeatedly:

"I saw it with my own eyes. The eldest lady's face was extremely pale. She kept crying in the lady's arms, saying that she had a nightmare. I boldly guessed that this must be why she fell ill."

Yu Chongting's face darkened slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, I understand. Miss Sun is a master of medicine, so I will take her to visit the eldest lady."

The maid was pardoned.

The long-servant hesitated for a moment: "Third Master, the Duke's side..."

Yu Chongting sighed: "Don't worry, grandfather knows, you can go back."

The long-time attendant also returned as if he had been pardoned.

Yu Chongting and Sun Qiyi looked at each other.

They were in tune with each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Sun Qiyi smiled slightly, and went to Yu Mingzhu's yard hand in hand with Yu Chongting.

As they walked along, Sun Qiyi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't mean anything. He just said directly: "Your family really dotes on this young lady. I've seen that this young lady's yard is much bigger than yours, and the location and environment are much better."

Yu Chongting smiled helplessly: "Of course. My mother gave birth to three brothers and Zhuzhu is the only girl... Naturally, I love her more than a pearl or jade."

Sun Qiyi said nothing.

Yu Chongting, however, thought of Princess Fusui, Xingxing, who might be his real sister.

Although Xingxing is now a princess, judging from the details recounted by Sun Qiyi, Xingxing must have had a very miserable childhood.

While the fake sister was enjoying the love of the whole family, wearing gold and silver and ordering servants around, his real sister was struggling on the line between life and death!

Yu Chongting felt a pain in his heart and almost couldn't breathe.

Sun Qiyi patted Yu Chongting's back soothingly.

Yu Chongting smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Qiyi, I'm fine."

Sun Qiyi said: "I know, I just want you to know that no matter what happens to you, I am always by your side."

Yu Chongting smiled.

Yu Chongting held Sun Qiyi's hand and came to Yu Mingzhu's courtyard.

Yu Chongting took a look and saw that there were not only Yu Mingzhu's maids in the courtyard, but also his mother Jiao's maids waiting in the corridor. He knew that his mother was still with Yu Mingzhu.
