Chapter 731 You Don’t Have to Treat Me Like This
The more Mrs. Wei said this, the more grateful Lady Xin was.
The old lady of Duke Xin's eyes were blurred with tears. She held the hand of Mrs. Wei and said, "I am older than you, so I am honored to call you Sister Wei. No matter what, it was you who saved Xingxing's life. Sister Wei, please accept my greeting."
Mrs. Wei hurried over to stop her, and the old lady of Duke Xin held Mrs. Wei's hand tightly.
The two old people held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Xingxing took over the maid's job and served a cup of tea to each of the two old people.
Mrs. Wei was fine, but the old lady of Duke Xin was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
Xing Xing was a little confused: "You..."
The old lady of Duke Xin was choked with sobs: "...Xingxing, after all these things, you, you are still willing to pour me this cup of tea, I..."
The old lady of Duke Xin tried to remain calm, but her cloudy eyes were still filled with subtle expectations.
"Xingxing, without saying anything else, are you willing to... call me grandma?"
Xing Xing looked at the old lady of Duke Xin.
The old lady of Duke Xin's eyes were filled with crystal-clear anticipation.
Mother Wei also nodded towards Xingxing, showing the same expectation, without any grudge - in Mother Wei's view, the old lady of Duke Xin was Xingxing's grandmother and Xingxing's blood relative, so she naturally hoped for the best for them.
What's more, isn't it a great thing to have another blood relative love Xingxing?
Xing Xing put her hand on the wrinkled hand of the old lady of Duke Xin and called out earnestly, "Grandma."
The old lady of the Duke of Xin was so excited that she could not express it in words. She kept shouting, "Hey, hey, hey!"
After the old lady of Duke Xin responded, she immediately began to pull out the bracelet on her wrist and was about to put it on Xingxing's hand: "This, this, grandma gives it to you!"
Xingxing has a slender wrist, so the bracelet is not suitable for her. Xingxing can only hold it with both hands.
The old lady of Duke Xin did not stop yet, and took off the bracelet on her other wrist: "This one, this one is for you too!"
Xing Xing was a little overwhelmed: "No, old lady..."
The old lady of Duke Xin had tears in her eyes, but she was smiling, looking very energetic: "Didn't you call me grandma just now?"
The old lady of Duke Xin didn't even wait for Xingxing to reply, and started pulling out the hairpins in her hair.
Xing Xing was helpless and at a loss: "Please don't--"
Before she could finish her words, the old lady of Duke Xin had already taken off almost all the jewelry on her body and placed them in Xingxing's palm.
Mrs. Wei also hurried over and said, "No, elder sister, what are you doing..."
Most of the jewellery on the old lady of Duke Xin was taken off and given to Xingxing. She smiled cheerfully: "All these things of mine are for Xingxing. It doesn't matter whether I give them to her now or later."
When Mrs. Wei wanted to say something, the old lady of Duke Xin grabbed her hand again and said, "Sister Wei, you don't know how happy I am that Xingxing called me grandma... From now on, you are Xingxing's grandmother and I am Xingxing's grandmother. Let's love our Xingxing together!"
Mrs. Wei didn't know what to say and could only respond happily with a "Hey."
Just when the atmosphere in the house was full of joy, the maid outside hurriedly came to report: "Old Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is here... We can't stop her outside, and I have also told the Crown Prince's wife that you have a distinguished guest here, but the Crown Prince's wife insisted on coming in..."
The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Xing Xing subconsciously.
When the old lady of Duke Xin saw Xingxing's smile fade away and her expression became indifferent, she knew that Xingxing was still not very happy about Jiao's situation.
The old lady of Duke Xin just said, "Xingxing, if you don't want to see her, I will have someone drive her away."
Xing Xing thought for a moment and said, "She has done nothing wrong to me, it's just... Grandma, it's nothing, if the Crown Prince's wife wants to come in, just let her in."
The old lady of Duke Xin sighed, but still asked the maid to invite Jiao in.
Jiao was so excited that she stroked her hair subconsciously and hurried into the house.
Jiao was the mistress of the household, and she soon found out that Xingxing and Wei were coming to visit.
Originally, Jiao was lying on the bed resting, but when she heard Xing Xing coming, she immediately sat up as if she had taken a panacea. She felt much more energetic and hurried to the yard of the old lady of Duke Xin.
It was Aunt Jingchun beside her who quickly persuaded her, saying that the lady had looked very haggard in recent days, and wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to go and see the eldest lady like this?
As soon as Jingchun mentioned Xingxing, Jiao immediately listened and asked someone to come in to clean her face, change her clothes and do her makeup, and tidied herself up neatly.
Before leaving, Jiao stamped her feet again and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, Xingxing is coming home. Does she have to acknowledge me as her mother? I have to prepare some gifts for the child."
Jingchun said, "What a coincidence! Last month you asked me to pack out a box of jewels, all rare treasures. They are in the box. Shall I go get them for you now?"
Jiao shook her head and said, "That was originally for Zhuzhu. Although Zhuzhu broke my heart, I don't plan to give it to her for the time being, but how can I give it to Xingxing?"
Having said that, Jiao quickly asked someone to open the storehouse. She then quickly picked out a number of fine jewelry and came to the old lady of Duke Xin.
Unexpectedly, before he even entered the yard, he was stopped by the maid of the old lady of Duke Xin.
If it were any other time, it would be fine. Jiao would definitely not disobey the old lady of Duke Xin because of such a small matter.
But now, the person in the yard is her own daughter whom she has been thinking about day and night!
It’s her Xingxing!
She had to see her!
Jiao was determined to make a fuss outside, but fortunately, the old lady of Duke Xin soon had someone call her in.
Jiao entered the house with a trembling and excited heart.
On the couch in the room, the old lady of Duke Xin was sitting there, and Xing Xing was also sitting there.
When Jiao saw Xingxing, she was so excited that her eyes suddenly became sad. She called "Xingxing" in a trembling voice.
Xing Xing stood up, knelt down and saluted, but she called out, "Madam Crown Prince."
Jiao was shocked by the unfamiliar word "Madam Crown Prince" and shuddered all over.
She forced a smile and said, "Xingxing, I, I am the mother..."
Jiao hurriedly urged people to present the jewelry she had brought, "Xingxing, look, this, this is the gift that mother prepared for you..."
Xingxing took a step back.
This small step hurt Jiao so much that she covered her chest and said, "Xingxing, do you blame me? I, I am your mother...Xingxing..."
Xing Xing looked clear-headed and said seriously, "Madam, how could I blame you? You are indeed my mother, and I don't want to deny it... I just want to say that you don't have to treat me like this."
