Chapter 728 Xingxing is our daughter
The fact that Xingxing was the real daughter of Duke Xin's Mansion naturally caused a great shock in Duke Xin's Mansion.
Although the Duke Xin and his wife knew about this a long time ago, they were still very emotional during the process of recognizing their relatives. In addition, as they were already old, the couple took each other to rest after returning home.
Everyone else was so shocked that they were speechless.
Especially the big room.
It has been a long time since Prince Yu Shanglian learned the news, and he is still a little dazed.
Jiao was sent back in a coma. If he wanted to ask more details, he could only wait for Jiao to wake up.
As for Yu Mingzhu...she had been kneeling in front of Jiao's bed for an hour.
If it were in the past, Yu Shanglian would have been extremely distressed, but now, from the news he had heard... Yu Shanglian just felt very complicated.
Yu Shanglian suggested that Yu Mingzhu get up. Yu Mingzhu covered her face and cried, "My mother's fainting was partly due to me. Dad, please let me stay here and fulfill my filial duty. Otherwise, I don't know how to deal with it."
Although Yu Shanglian did not immediately understand the relationship between filial piety and kneeling in front of the bed, he was so confused that he could not think about Yu Mingzhu. Since she refused, Yu Shanglian let her do what she wanted.
Yu Shanglian sat on the small couch in front of the window, looking dazed.
He hasn't recovered yet.
...Princess Fusui, is she his daughter?
Although he thought Princess Fusui looked very similar to Atong when they were young, he did not think too much about it. After all, there are so many people in the world who look alike.
He has been busy with court affairs in the past two years and has rarely been in the mansion. He has heard some of the disputes in the mansion, but he believes that his wife Atong can handle it.
But at this moment, Yu Shanglian felt confused.
Also at a loss was the eldest son of the Duke of Xin's family, Yu Chongjie.
When Yu Chongjie came back from his shift and heard the news, he was stunned for a while.
He even wondered if the people in the mansion were ganging up on him.
Princess Fusui?
Xing Xing?
His real sister?
Ridiculous - how ridiculous!
Yu Chongjie wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all.
He recalled how he had been harsh with Xing Xing in the past, and how he had developed a dislike for her because of Yu Ming Zhu...
Yu Chongjie just thought it was ridiculous and wanted to laugh.
Hahahaha, that is to say, he was really sad, looked down on, and hated his real sister because of his fake sister?
Yu Chongjie pressed his forehead, feeling that everything in the world was absurd and ridiculous.
"Master?" The long-time attendant looked at Yu Chongjie worriedly and wanted to help him.
Yu Chongjie simply brushed away his attendant's hand and strode towards Jiao's courtyard: "I'm going to see mother!"
At this time, in Jiao's room, besides Yu Mingzhu kneeling in front of the bed, there was also Yu Shanglian who was silent, and Yu Chongting who was drinking tea quietly.
Yu Chongjie rushed in directly.
Yu Shanglian only glanced at his eldest son, who had once made him extremely proud but now ended up in such a situation.
Captain Yu Shang sighed.
Is this retribution for his family?
Yu Mingzhu looked at Yu Chongjie with tears in her eyes.
But Yu Chongjie didn't look at her.
Yu Chongjie asked Yu Shanglian and Yu Chongting in a hoarse voice: "...Mom fainted, didn't Xingxing come to see her?"
Yu Shanglian frowned when he heard this, and Yu Chongting said directly in disapproval: "Brother, what is Xingxing relying on to see the current situation of our family? ...Except for grandparents who have always treated Xingxing well, have other people taken care of Xingxing in any way?"
Yu Chongjie wanted to say that this was not what he meant.
He just... wanted to take advantage of Xingxing's visit to see their mother, apologize to Xingxing, and explain everything to Xingxing.
After all, they are siblings!
But those words came out of his mouth after all. He couldn't explain it for a moment, so he could only say helplessly: "That's not what I meant."
Yu Mingzhu knelt over crying, "Dad, big brother, third brother, it's all my fault... it's all my fault. It's because of me that the princess and mother have a rift. I'm going to kneel down and beg the princess now, to let her come to visit mother!"
If Yu Chongjie had heard such words in the past, he would have been very heartbroken.
However, at this moment, Yu Chongjie only felt that these words were somewhat familiar.
He thought hard, and it seemed that Yu Mingzhu had done the same thing before when Xingxing was treating their grandmother?
Yu Chongjie was still thinking back, but Yu Chongting frowned and said, "Zhuzhu, don't say that. It sounds like Xingxing is taking her grudge against you over her mother's body. Xingxing has been living away from home for many years, and I have heard a little about how her mother and brother treated her. Now you suddenly ask her to put aside all her grudges and become the filial daughter of the Duke of Xin. Isn't that asking her to do something against her will?"
Yu Mingzhu's face turned even paler.
She cried, "Third brother, are you blaming me? Are you blaming me for saying the wrong thing? I'm just too worried about mother. I would rather kneel down and beg the princess, but you think I'm forcing her?... Third brother, every word you say is for the princess's consideration, have you ever thought about me? I've been pampered by you for so many years, and suddenly, I'm nothing. I'm also scared... What else can I do? What else can I do!"
Yu Mingzhu cried until she was hoarse.
Yu Shanglian felt heartbroken.
Even Yu Chongjie and Yu Chongting fell silent.
At this moment, the unconscious Jiao moved his hand.
She hadn't opened her eyes yet, and with her eyes closed, she murmured in a hoarse voice, "Xingxing..."
Yu Mingzhu cried and rushed to Jiao's bed again:
"Mother! Mother!"
When Jiao heard the word "mother", her whole body trembled slightly and she tried hard to open her eyes.
However, what came into view was Yu Mingzhu, who was crying her heart out.
Jiao had loved Yu Mingzhu for many years. She murmured, "Zhuzhu, don't cry..."
Yu Mingzhu felt relieved and was about to say something, but Jiao forced herself to sit up again: "Where's Xingxing? ...Xingxing..."
Yu Mingzhu seemed to have been hit hard by someone! She stood there in a trance!
Yu Shanglian also stepped forward at this moment and supported Jiao.
Jiao immediately grabbed Yu Shanglian's hand tightly: "I, I am in the mansion?... Where is Xingxing? Where is Xingxing?... Do you know? Xingxing, Xingxing is our biological daughter..."
Jiao burst into tears.
Yu Shanglian felt bitter and sad: "I know, I know. Don't worry, Xingxing has gone back with the Yu family. When you get better, we will go see her."
Jiao refused. She struggled to get out of bed: "No, I, I want to go see her, to see our daughter..."
She cried and grabbed Yu Shanglian's sleeve, "Brother Lian! Do you know that our daughter lived such a life in the past!... She almost died in the river!"
