Chapter 722: Words of Punishment
Sun Qiyi smiled slightly and said, "It is the ancestor of our family."
Doctor Yu's beard twitched, and he was extremely excited: "I wonder where Mr. Sun Zhuyou is now?... My master has always admired the old man, but Mr. Sun Zhuyou traveled all over the world and I have never been able to see him..."
Sun Qiyi said, "Our ancestor has already gone west on a crane."
Doctor Yu was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "So that's how it is..."
He sighed for a while, then carefully returned the pill to Sun Qiyi, and then bowed to the Duke Xin and his wife, saying, "The pill that this girl gave to Miss Yu is not only non-toxic, but also has the effect of clearing away toxins and removing obstacles. It is an excellent medicine."
"Remove obstacles?" Jiao was stunned when she heard it.
How can it be non-toxic?
What does this obstacle removal mean?
Doctor Yu was thinking about how to explain it tactfully, but Sun Qiyi had already started to speak slowly: "What I mean is that the eldest lady took a certain medicine, which temporarily changed her pulse and made it look like her body was seriously damaged. Xiaoxuedan is a medicine that my grandfather discovered by combining the secret books left by the previous imperial palace. It is beneficial to the human body and has no harm. So I fed Miss Yu a pill, and sure enough, 'the medicine cured the disease.'"
Yu Mingzhu's face turned blue, white, and red at times.
Jiao finally reacted. She slowly turned her head and looked at Yu Mingzhu in confusion: "Zhuzhu, why are you..."
Sun Qiyi found it very interesting.
She actually doesn't care why Miss Yu takes Dongyi Pills.
What she was concerned about was that Dongyu Pills were a secret medicine used by concubines in the previous dynasty's imperial palace to compete for favor. With the demise of the previous dynasty's royal family, it should have disappeared from history long ago.
Where did this Miss Yu, who lives in a secluded place, get all this?
Yu Mingzhu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and could only cry, "Mom..."
But this time, Jiao did not reach out and hold Yu Mingzhu in her arms as soon as she burst into tears.
She just looked at Yu Mingzhu in confusion.
The old couple of Duke Xin looked over calmly.
The old Duke Xin said calmly, "Why else? Maybe it's because Mingzhu doesn't want to come to the court of Shuntian Prefecture."
Yu Mingzhu's face turned even pale.
At this moment, Xingxing walked down from the chair beside her.
"Miss Sun," Xing Xing said, "Can I see the Xiaoxue Pill in your hand?"
Xingxing has been looking at the Xiaoxuedan pill since the beginning.
When she heard about the effects of the Xiaoxue Pill, she felt that it was very similar to the pill recipe her grandmother Da Xi taught her.
Grandma Da Xi also mentioned it casually at the time, saying that it was something from the imperial palace of the previous dynasty.
Now that Xingxing saw this similar "Xiaoxue Dan", she was naturally curious.
Sun Qiyi looked at Xingxing, then at Yu Chongting.
I couldn't help laughing.
Instead, I found some feelings of "Love the person and love the whole family" in Xingxing.
She smiled and handed the Xiaoxuedan over: "Does the princess like it? Take it. It's for you."
Xing Xing took it generously and took out a pill from her waist bag: "Thank you. I'll give this to my sister."
Sun Qiyi also took it generously.
As long as doctors are not the type who cherish their own knowledge, it is not uncommon for them to study medicine with each other and give each other elixirs.
Because of Xingxing's incident, everyone's attention shifted from Yu Mingzhu to Xingxing and Sun Qiyi.
Xingxing took a quick sniff of Sun Qiyi's pills, and like the doctor, she scraped some powder and tasted it.
She immediately had an idea in her mind.
Sun Qiyi had already studied the pill Xingxing gave her. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes like stars: "This pill..."
The pills Xingxing gave her were obviously similar to the Xiaoxuedan developed by her grandfather, but they were a bit more sophisticated!
Xing Xing said: "This is the recipe my master taught me."
After a pause, Xing Xing thought for a moment and then said, "I'll introduce you to each other if I get a chance."
Xing Xing thought that this granddaughter's grandfather was able to find out a similar recipe by borrowing the ancient books of the previous imperial palace, which showed how skilled he was in medicine. Since granddaughter was his descendant, and she could recognize Yu Mingzhu's pulse, it was clear that she was also a master in medicine.
Maybe Grandma Da Xi would be willing to meet her?
Sun Qiyi was obviously very happy.
She carefully put the pill into a small porcelain bottle and nodded to Xingxing.
Xing Xing smiled and returned to her chair to sit down.
Jiao seemed a little absent-minded, as if she wanted to say something to Yu Mingzhu. She opened her mouth but said nothing.
The court in Shuntian Prefecture fell into a strange silence.
It was the arrival of Shuntian Prefecture Governor that broke the silence.
He coughed and bowed to the old Duke Xin and his wife, "…I have temporarily adjourned the court session earlier. I wonder if it is convenient for you two to continue the court session now?"
Old Xin Guogong said, "Your Excellency is very polite. It is your Excellency's duty to go to court to try cases. My wife and I are only slightly involved with the people involved in this case, so we are here to observe and will definitely not interfere with your Excellency's judgment of the case."
As soon as these words were spoken, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture immediately understood that this meant that the case could be heard in court.
Shuntian prefect understood and slapped the wooden stick in his hand: "Bring the plaintiff up!"
Yu Mingzhu shuddered.
But Zou Wanshi had already been brought up.
When Zou Wan saw Yu Mingzhu standing in the hall, she also shuddered.
Her reaction was so obvious that even Jiao looked at Zou Wanshi a second time.
At this time, Jiao didn't know that Zou Wan's family was almost wiped out.
At this moment, Jiao heard the word "bring the plaintiff", and then she thought of how her father-in-law, Duke Xin, insisted that Yu Mingzhu be brought here. So Jiao presumed that Zou Wan was suing Yu Mingzhu.
Jiao was immediately furious: "It's you?! Why are you suing Zhuzhu for no reason? What are you suing her for? Hasn't she been good to you? Don't think I don't know that Zhuzhu gave you a lot of money every time you came to the mansion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a subtle pause in the classroom.
Yu Chongting's expression changed slightly and he looked at Yu Mingzhu.
It is known that Xingxing might be their biological sister who was stranded outside. After being "picked up" by Zou Wanshi, she was abused and almost killed.
Furthermore, it was discovered that Yu Mingzhu was a fake daughter who was swapped by someone else. And Yu Mingzhu actually had a close relationship with the man who "took away" her biological sister, and even gave him money and property many times?
No matter how you think about it, it seems like Yu Mingzhu already knows the inside story!
——Yu Mingzhu never expected that her mother would say this in front of so many people!
Her breath was choked.
Yu Mingzhu's mind was racing. Perhaps because of the crisis, she became much more sober.
She only used the same rhetoric she had used to deal with her mother in the past, saying that she had done favors for Zou Wanshi and sympathized with the hardships of Zou Wanshi's family, and so on.
Besides, this little bit of money was nothing to her, but it could help Zou Wan's family. In her opinion, this was a good deed.
Yu Mingzhu showed a surprised look on her face: "...I really don't know why Madam Zou would sue me?"
Yu Mingzhu had asked Qi Huang to find out the news long ago, and she knew that Zou Wan was not suing her at all.
Zou Wanshi's face turned pale, and she shook her head, saying in defeat, "It is not the young lady that I am suing."
Zou Wanshi was already devastated, and now she felt hopeless and helpless, as if she had no power to turn the tide. She just lay there dejected, not wanting to speak.
When she was taken away just now, she thought about a lot of things.
When did the people from Duke Xin's Mansion go to investigate the boatman?
With all the back and forth, and the investigation, it will definitely take a long time.
So, how long ago was the planning of the Duke of Xin's Mansion started?
Even more so, was it possible that their visit to the capital this time was at the hands of the Duke of Xin's Mansion?
The more Zou Wanshi thought about it, the more frightened she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt as if there was an airtight net that had trapped them tightly.
Even Zou Wanshi began to wonder whether everything that happened to their Zou family was caused by the Xin Guo Mansion!
This idea reached its peak after Zou Wanshi was brought back to the hall!
——They actually called Yu Mingzhu over!
Zou Wanshi's whole body began to tremble violently.
But Yu Mingzhu still pretended to know nothing.
Although Zou Wanshi would not expose Yu Mingzhu, she also felt hopeless and powerless that what Yu Mingzhu was doing now was nothing more than a petty clown who could not show up in public.
Jiao still didn't know what had happened before.
She looked at Zou Wanshi in a strange way, still a little puzzled: "Since you didn't sue my Zhuzhu, why did you call my Zhuzhu here?"
Yu Chongting couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
He thinks his mother is really confused!
Not to mention the old couple Duke Xin.
The old couple's eyes were filled with disappointment towards Jiao.
Only when everything is laid out before his eyes can Jiao see through it all?
Xing Xing sat in the spectator seat not too far away and watched Jiao.
She stared for a long time.
If you think about it more, you can guess what happened from beginning to end. It seems that Jiao has always turned a blind eye to it.
...So, this is her biological mother?
She knew very well that Yu Mingzhu was not her biological daughter, and she looked so much like Jiao. Did she never have any doubt for a moment?
But now it seems that her mother has always firmly chosen Yu Mingzhu.
Xing Xing lowered her eyes, putting away her disappointed look.
Yu Chongting felt a pain in his heart when Xingxing lowered her eyes. He couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Mom, let me tell you. This woman surnamed Zou is suing...Princess Fusui."
As soon as the words "Princess Fusui" came out, Jiao Shi seemed to be scalded. She glanced at Xingxing and quickly looked away: "...If that's the case, then what do you want Zhuzhu to do?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the old couple of Duke Xin, but even Yu Chongting's eyes were filled with anger!
Yu Chongting saw his mother's evasive look. He knew in his heart that no one knows a son better than his mother. It was obvious that his mother had some guesses in her mind, but she felt very guilty, so she avoided Xingxing like this!
In other words, his mother had long suspected that Xing Xing was her biological daughter, but she said nothing and continued to pamper Yu Ming Zhu without any limit? !
Yu Chongting was so angry that his face turned blue!
Sun Qiyi stepped forward, held Yu Chongting's hand, and warmed his palms, also reminding him not to be too angry.
Anger hurts.
Yu Chongting took a deep breath, and said in a rare tone of arrogance: "It seems that mother really knows nothing!"
Jiao frowned and looked at Yu Chongting: "Chongting, what's the tone of your voice?"
Yu Chongting sneered: "Mother, do you know why Zou Wan told Princess Fusui?"
"Why?"
Yu Chongting said expressionlessly, "Because Zou Wan suspected that Princess Fusui had her entire family killed last night, and then set fire to the place to destroy the bodies."
Jiao took a breath of cold air. Although she instinctively wanted to avoid Xing Xing, she couldn't believe that Xing Xing would do such a thing.
"No, no way?!"
Jiao subconsciously looked at Xingxing again.
The petite girl had a blank expression on her face. She just sat in the spectator chair without looking in her direction.
It's like...she's someone unimportant.
Jiao's heart choked, and her tone became heavier: "Why would Zou Wan sue the princess for wiping out her entire family?"
Yu Chongting had no expression on his face, but he looked straight at Jiao: "Because this woman surnamed Zou, more than ten years ago, she 'picked up' a little girl from somewhere. Ten years ago, she took the little girl across the river and threw her directly into the surging river. This woman surnamed Zou was extremely guilty. When she met the little girl again ten years later, she naturally felt that the little girl would take revenge on her whole family."
Jiao shuddered all over when she heard this.
She didn't know why, but when she heard this, she felt a severe pain in her heart, so severe that her face turned pale.
Yu Mingzhu stepped forward and supported Jiao with concern: "Mom, are you okay?"
Although Yu Mingzhu's hands were very cold, Jiao managed to stabilize herself with the support of something.
But the voice was still trembling: "You, you mean... the princess, the princess is that little girl..."
Yu Mingzhu's eyes sank slightly, and she only hated God for being blind. If Yu Xingxing had been allowed to die directly in the river at that time, wouldn't nothing have happened?
Yu Chongting said coldly: "Mother is right. The princess is that little girl. The princess was extremely lucky and survived a disaster, but now she has been falsely accused by the previous perpetrator of killing someone else's family!"
Jiao was speechless and could only repeat over and over again: "It's really not right... it's a bit too much."
Seeing that Jiao hadn't reacted yet, Yu Chongting sneered, "Mother, you forgot. It was you who said just now that your sister often gave money to Zou Wan!"
Jiao didn't react to this sentence at first, but after a pause, Jiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he reacted as if struck by thunder!
"You, you mean..."
Jiao couldn't even speak clearly.
Yu Mingzhu, on the other hand, burst into tears instantly. Her delicate face turned pale, and she seemed to be in disbelief. She raised her voice and asked Yu Chongting, "Third brother, do you mean that I ordered Zou Wanshi to do this?... But I was only a few years old back then, how could I do that? Third brother, why did you say such heartbreaking words to me!"
Seeing that Yu Mingzhu was still deliberately confusing him, Yu Chongting became even more disappointed. He just stared at Yu Mingzhu for a while without saying anything.
At this moment, a sharp male voice came from outside and said, "Sir, I have a witness here and I'm sending it to you!"
