Chapter 724: It’s just a change of child!

Jiao subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Mingzhu looked at Jiao with tears in her eyes.

Many images flashed through Jiao's mind in an instant.

When Yu Mingzhu was just learning to speak and to walk... she was so adorable, she called out "Mom" indistinctly and stumbled towards her.

In the brocade-filled room, the floor was covered with thick cashmere blankets. Several maids were standing by, protecting Yu Mingzhu, fearing that she would fall and get hurt.

Jiao squatted on the other side of the cashmere blanket, calling Yu Mingzhu's nickname lovingly and teasing her to come over.

But this memory only flashed through Jiao's mind for a moment, and immediately another scene emerged - although it was her imagination, it was so real and touching, as if it had really happened in the past!

——While Mingzhu was being cared for and learning to walk, Xingxing was curled up in a dark corner. She was wearing ragged clothes, her arms and legs were covered in bruises, her face was full of fear, and she was shaking her little body, begging the person opposite her not to hit her again...

Jiao was shaking with pain all over.

She seemed to realize only slowly how much injustice and suffering her own daughter, who had been living away from home, had endured before she came to her step by step.

Jiao was shaking even more violently.

She no longer cared about anything. She waved her hand to brush away Yu Mingzhu's pulling of her sleeve and staggered towards Xingxing.

Yu Mingzhu's face was as pale as a ghost. She cried and shouted, "Mother!... I really, really didn't know... Please don't leave me... Mother!"

Yu Mingzhu's crying was heartbreaking.

Jiao felt a sudden pain in her heart.

But she could no longer hold Yu Mingzhu in her arms without any hesitation.

She asked Yu Mingzhu in a trembling voice: "Zhuzhu, tell me the truth, you... gave all that money to Zou Wanshi, was it because you knew that she was your biological mother..."

Yu Mingzhu knelt down crying, her voice shaking violently, and she hugged Jiao's legs while crying: "Mother, yes, that woman said she was my real mother. I was very scared, afraid that mother would not recognize me from now on, so I gave the silver..."

Jiao was already somewhat numb from the pain.

She let Yu Mingzhu hold her legs, and her whole body was shaking because of Yu Mingzhu's crying.

Yu Chongting suddenly spoke up and asked Zou Wanshi: "So, it was you who bribed others to exchange your daughter with my sister, and then wanted to throw my sister into the raging river, is that right or not?"

Zou Wan looked at Yu Chongting slowly and said, "Didn't you already know what happened?"

Her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and shouted, "You killed my son, and you wanted to burn our whole family to death! Didn't you know about it a long time ago?! What are you pretending to be now!"

She shouted angrily, "I just changed a child! Now that damn girl is living well, and you are a princess! Why did you have to kill her so quickly! Set fire to my whole family!"

Yu Chongting looked gloomy.

He almost forgot about the matter of Zou Wan.

——He knew that the Xinguo Mansion would not do such a thing.

Xingxing doesn’t know how to do that either.

——So, that means…

Yu Chongting looked at Yu Mingzhu.

No, Yu Chongting shook his head again subconsciously.

Even though Zhuzhu looked a little crooked, how could she, a girl from a noble family, dare to do such a thing as killing an entire family?

Yu Chongting frowned.

Jiao was already in tears, and after hearing what Zou Wan said, she became even more emotional: "What do you mean it's just a replacement of a child!... That's my daughter... my daughter who I carried for ten months and gave birth to! You replaced her, and if you still have a conscience, you should take good care of her. If life is difficult, at least you can let her live... You threw her into the river, she was so young..."

Jiao's whole body trembled violently and she could not speak a complete sentence.

The more the old lady of Duke Xin listened, the more she felt heartbroken.

At this moment, she just wanted to tear Zou Wan into pieces!

Although everyone knows that Xingxing is now of noble status and lives a very good life, the suffering she endured in her childhood is also real.

Xingxing handed a handkerchief to the old lady of Duke Xin.

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Xing Xing with tears in her eyes.

The Yu family really took good care of Xingxing.

The Yu family is her great benefactor.

If the Yu family hadn't picked Xing Xing, I'm afraid...

The old lady of Duke Xin stood up tremblingly.

He walked up to Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng and bowed deeply.

This scared Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng.

The two of them wiped their tears and avoided her: "Madam, what are you doing?"

The old lady of Duke Xin said in a hoarse voice: "If it weren't for Yu Jiachun's kindness and saving Xingxing, I'm afraid we would have been separated forever!"

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng were both a little confused, and they quickly wiped away their tears and forced a smile, "You're too polite, old lady..."

Li Chunhua couldn't help but say, "My mother-in-law brought Xingxing back from the rocky beach. She was so small and skinny. She didn't dare to eat more than the food given to her at home... I was thinking, who is so cruel to throw away such a lovely little girl? At that time, I never thought that this would happen..."

Li Chunhua couldn't hold back any more as she spoke, and cried, "But our Xingxing shouldn't have suffered so much! She should have lived a better life!"

Xing Xing went forward and hugged Li Chunhua: "Okay, auntie, don't get excited. It was only the first three years. I lived happily every year in the Yu family afterwards."

Xingxing patted Li Chunhua's back gently with her little hand.

Seeing Xing Xing being so intimate with the Yu family, Jiao felt heartbroken.

This is her daughter!

Her daughter!

The person who should have been so intimate with Xingxing was her!

"Daughter..." Jiao suddenly called out, her emotions agitated, but her body went limp and she fainted.

Yu Mingzhu cried out in a sobbing voice: "Mother! Mother!"

The court in Shuntian Prefecture was urgently adjourned.

But the Shuntian prefect was not annoyed at all.

It was originally a case of false accusation, but now he has obtained some important clues about old cases. It seems that his performance in this year's exam will be very outstanding, and there is an 80% chance that he will make further progress because of this achievement.

If the current atmosphere was not really unsuitable, the corners of Shuntian Prefecture's mouth would have been stretched to the back of his head.

A mere recess is nothing big.

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture urgently took in the criminal woman who claimed to be from Chaoyang Tower, and all the evidence and confessions of the criminal were sent to be compared with those unresolved cases that had been pending for many years.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor took advantage of the time when the wife of the Prince of Xin fainted and the court was temporarily adjourned to go forward and greet the people from Chaoyang Tower.

The prefect of Shuntian was very polite. As soon as he called out "hero", the man from Chaoyang Tower grinned, stretched out his hand to stop the prefect of Shuntian from greeting him, and simply cupped his fist and said, "This is the order of our young master. There is no need to be polite, Prefect. I'm just an errand boy... Now that it's over, I'll go back." He left in a very elegant manner.
