Chapter 790: Has Jiao gone mad?
Jiao returned to the mansion of Duke Xin happily, and she threw away her previous debauchery. Her flushed face made the maidservants serving beside her panic.
It's scary to see their ladies suddenly become depressed or excited!
Jiao maintained a happy expression and went directly to the main courtyard where the old lady of Duke Xin was.
As a result, the first sentence he said scared the old lady of Duke Xin.
"Mother, it's time to prepare for Xingxing's marriage to His Royal Highness Prince Cong!"
The old lady of Duke Xin dismissed the servants and felt a headache when she saw the abnormal light in Jiao's eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about! Xingxing and His Royal Highness Prince Cong just returned to the capital, what marriage or not! Xingxing is still young, it's too early to talk about these things, and you are Xingxing's biological mother, don't say nonsense and ruin Xingxing's reputation!"
Jiao said excitedly, "I didn't say anything nonsense! I went to the Yu family today, and it was Prince Cong who sent Xingxing back! It is said that Prince Cong has a cold personality, but I saw today that Prince Cong is very respectful to the Yu family. He almost answered every question without any indifference! It must be that Prince Cong treated the Yu family with special favor for Xingxing's sake!"
The old lady of Duke Xin felt her eyebrows twitching. She couldn't help but yelled, "Stop talking nonsense! How can a noble family be allowed to speculate like this! You are Xingxing's biological mother, don't bring trouble to Xingxing!"
Jiao was still unconvinced: "Mother, the relationship between Prince Cong and Xingxing is real! Xingxing rescued Prince Cong and returned safely, so how can they not have a great marriage——"
The old lady of Duke Xin didn't want to listen any more. She said angrily, "Whether they can have a good marriage or not is not up to you! If Xingxing is destined to be with Prince Cong, then His Majesty will arrange a marriage for them! If not, you are making a fuss here. Are you trying to ruin Xingxing's reputation and harm her life?! Are you Xingxing's biological mother?"
The harsh words of the old lady of Duke Xin seemed to have sobered Jiao up a little, but she was not completely sober yet. Jiao murmured, "If Prince Cong is not capable... then, then who else can... who else..."
Thinking of one person, Jiao became excited again: "How could I almost forget, there is also my nephew Yulou! Yulou, there is also Yulou!"
She said eagerly to the old lady of Duke Xin: "Mother, what do you think of Yulou? We watched Yulou grow up, and her character and talent are first-class. Moreover, Jiao is my family, and her third aunt is warm and generous, and she is the best mother-in-law. Xingxing will only enjoy happiness if she marries back!"
The more Jiao talked, the more she felt that Jiao Yulou, her future son-in-law, was reliable.
The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Jiao in shock.
Has Jiao lost his mind?
Do you have to marry Xingxing off?
Putting aside the fact that Xingxing is still young, let's just talk about the family that Jiao found for Xingxing - yes, Jiao Yulou is good, but! What kind of family background does Xingxing have, and what kind of family background does the Jiao family have!
Jiao Yulou hasn't achieved any fame yet, but Jiao is so eager to marry Xingxing to Jiao Yulou? !
What does she rely on?!
The old lady of Duke Xin looked extremely unhappy. She covered her chest with her hands and her hands were shaking as she pointed at Jiao.
Nanny Qingluan was so frightened that she hurried forward to pat the old lady of Duke Xin's back. At the same time, she hurriedly called all the maids in and asked them to quickly bring over the heart-protecting pills that the princess had prescribed for the old lady of Duke Xin.
Seeing that the old lady of Duke Xin was so angry, Jiao finally sobered up a little from her excitement and said with some fear: "...Mother? What's wrong with you? Isn't this for Xingxing..."
Nanny Qingluan was very anxious and didn't care whether she was overstepping her authority or not. She raised her voice and said, "Madam, please stop talking!"
Jiao didn't expect to be scolded by Nanny Qingluan.
She was stunned for a moment. Although she was annoyed, she was more shocked.
Nanny Qingluan had no time to take care of Jiao and was busy with the maids for a long time, helping her take medicine, opening the windows for ventilation, washing her face with a warm towel, and rubbing the old lady's hands and legs. It took at least an incense stick of time before the doctor hurried over and finally alleviated the old lady's condition.
The illness of the old lady of Duke Xin alarmed the old Duke Xin in the front yard.
The old Duke Xin came over in a hurry, and Jiao was uneasy: "Dad..."
The old Duke Xin ignored Jiao and went to hold the hand of the old lady of Duke Xin: "Why are you angry again for no reason?"
The old lady of Duke Xin was still for a long time before she struggled to sit up and asked all the maids who had come in to serve her to leave, leaving only Nanny Qingluan.
Jiao was calmer now, and said hesitantly, "Mother, if you don't want us to make a long-term plan..."
Before she could even utter the word "议", the old lady of Duke Xin's face had already turned blue. She could no longer endure it and cursed: "Jiao! Who do you think you are to Xingxing?! Xingxing has been away from home for more than ten years. What have you done for her?! Xingxing's life is finally getting better now. Her friendship with Prince Cong was earned by her through life and death. What does it have to do with you?! Why are you meddling in other people's affairs?!"
"You also said that you would marry Xingxing to your nephew? Ha! Let me ask you one thing, when your third sister-in-law wanted to match Mingzhu with your nephew Yulou, what did you do? You were so reluctant! If Mingzhu hadn't gotten into trouble, you would still have protected her!... Well, when it came to Xingxing, you were so excited that you thought this was the best marriage in the world! Ask yourself, don't you feel guilty?!"
"Let me ask you, Xingxing is our sweetheart, what do you think of her?!"
With each question, Jiao's face turned paler.
Jiao took a step back and swayed. If she hadn't been holding on to the table, she would have collapsed.
Jiao's face turned pale, and she murmured as if to defend herself: "... I, I just thought that if Xingxing gets married, she must go through me as her mother..."
Jiao's tears flowed down, "I, I just want to hear Xingxing call me mother..."
The old lady of Duke Xin reacted as soon as she heard it!
No wonder Jiao was suddenly so keen on telling Xingxing about her!
I'm afraid Jiao thinks that if Xingxing wants to criticize others, she can't get around it as her mother!
——It has come to this, but Jiao still only wants to use her status as a mother to control Xingxing!
The old lady of Duke Xin found it so absurd that it was laughable.
She was furious for a moment and sneered, "Don't worry, Xingxing will definitely marry in the Yu family even if she gets married! I will go with your father-in-law to watch the ceremony! As for other things, don't even think about it!"
Jiao was struck by lightning.
She screamed: "No——"
His body swayed, and he fell down softly.
Fortunately, the doctor had not left yet, and several maids quickly carried Jiao to the next room, where the doctor helped her take a good look at her.
The old lady of Duke Xin was too lazy to care about Jiao anymore.
She closed her eyes in disgust.
The relationship between Xingxing and Jiao has already become so tenable, how could Jiao ever think of using Xingxing's marriage to check and balance Xingxing!
As long as she is alive, don't even think about it!
…
On the day when the Nanzheng delegation entered the capital, Qing Shuang also sneaked into the capital and broke into a hidden place in Chaoyang Tower, saying that she wanted to look for Yu Yonggui.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yu Yonggui went to the hidden place without stopping.
Qing Shuang looked a little frightened, with many small wounds on her face and body, which made Yu Yonggui feel very distressed.
"How did you get yourself into this state?" Yu Yonggui helped Qingshuang deal with the minor injuries on her face and body.
Qing Shuang didn't really care. She said, "There are quite a few good players in the Nanman delegation this time. I went in and got something out."
Yu Yonggui stared at Qing Shuang, speechless.
Go steal something from the mission!
Qing Shuang explained: "...If you owe someone a favor, you can repay it and it's all settled."
Qing Shuang felt inexplicably itchy when she saw Yu Yonggui glaring at her.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Let's not talk about that for now... I heard that you became the Earl of Zhengnan?"
Yu Yonggui coughed and said, "That's true."
Qing Shuang's eyes sparkled: "So, after we get married, I will be the wife of the Earl of Zhengnan?"
When he heard the word "get married", Yu Yonggui felt his old face turn red.
He coughed again and tried to calm himself down: "Right."
Qing Shuang was obviously very happy. Her pair of dark misty eyes were now clear and she was smiling.
"..." Yu Yonggui finally felt it. Why are everyone trying so hard to protect their wives and children?
Not to mention anything else, just seeing Qing Shuang is so happy being a little lady of the baron, he should also work hard, right?
The young couple looked at each other affectionately for a long time.
Yu Yonggui then slapped his head and remembered something: "...By the way, I told my mother about you. My mother wants to see you...but there is no rush, you should take good care of yourself first."
Qing Shuang became nervous.
She almost jumped out of her chair: "...You, your mother wants to see me?"
Yu Yonggui soothed her, "It's okay, my mother is not vicious, she just wants to see you."
Qing Shuang thought of something and her face turned pale. "What did you tell your mother? Did you tell her that I almost killed you?"
Yu Yonggui said seriously, "Why are you talking about that? Don't take it to heart. Besides, you didn't kill me at that time. Strictly speaking, we fought each other. I almost killed you, didn't I?"
Qing Shuang became more and more uneasy: "...At that time, I was recuperating at your house with Grandma Da Xi. Your mother came to see me and chatted with me for a few minutes. At that time, I could feel that she hated the person who hurt you."
Yu Yonggui didn't take it seriously: "Then I am alive and kicking now, right?"
Qing Shuang made up her mind: "...No, I don't want to hide it from your mother. If it doesn't work, I will apologize for it."
Yu Yonggui thought Qing Shuang was so adorable no matter how he looked at her!
He couldn't help but hook Qing Shuang's hand: "It's okay, don't worry, let's go find Xing Xing. My mother loves Xing Xing the most, as long as Xing Xing is here, nothing will happen."
Qing Shuang blushed and nodded.
…
When Yu Yonggui brought Qingshuang here, Xingxing was playing with Miaomiao.
Miaomiao likes Xingxing very much, and whenever she sees this little aunt, she would drool all over her face.
Cen Yueyi also laughed and said that when Xingxing came, Miaomiao didn't even want her as her mother, and just focused on rushing towards Xingxing with her little body.
Yu Yonggui also loved Miaomiao very much, and often came to play with her. Miaomiao was very shrewd, and when she saw Yu Yonggui, she said "ah ah" twice as a greeting, and then she lay on Xingxing's shoulder, holding her neck with her little hands, showing with her actions that she should not be taken away from her aunt's arms.
Yu Yonggui laughed angrily.
Cen Yueyi's eyes fell on Qing Shuang and she asked softly, "...Who is this girl?"
Yu Yonggui said, "Oh," and said, "Sister-in-law, I plan to marry this girl."
Cen Yueyi opened her mouth slightly in shock.
When Qing Shuang was recuperating at the Yu family, Cen Yueyi was in poor health and had not seen Qing Shuang. This was the first time she had seen her.
Qing Shuang was still a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so she just stood there.
Cen Yueyi reacted, walked forward enthusiastically, pulled Qing Shuang and led her to a seat.
Qing Shuang was a little at a loss.
Cen Yueyi was afraid that Qing Shuang would feel uncomfortable, so after thinking for a while, she took Miaomiao out of Xingxing's arms and put her into Qingshuang's arms.
Qing Shuang hugged Miaomiao and her whole body was stiff.
Miaomiao had never seen Qingshuang before. She looked at Qingshuang curiously with her head tilted up for a while. Seeing that it was a beautiful sister she had never seen before, she did not resist and started playing with her little hands and feet with "ah ah".
Yu Yonggui: “?”
No, Miaomiao, why are you still partial to one over the other?
After leaving Cen Yueyi's place, the group went to Xingxing's yard.
Yu Yonggui told Xingxing about the matter, and Xingxing couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't think it was a big deal. Sister Qingshuang, don't worry. If you can marry Fourth Brother, in Second Aunt's eyes, it will be like the reincarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. Everything else is nothing."
Yu Yonggui: “?”
Qing Shuang was very convinced by Xing Xing. After Xing Xing said this, she was visibly relieved: "That's good, that's good."
Yu Yonggui: “???”
When Xingxing brought Qingshuang to Bai Xiaofeng's yard, Bai Xiaofeng liked Qingshuang very much when she saw her. She was so affectionate that she wanted to hand Yu Yonggui to Qingshuang immediately.
Even though Qing Shuang mentioned the past incident where she almost killed Yu Yonggui, Bai Xiaofeng didn't care at all and almost cheered for the good job.
Bai Xiaofeng didn't even frown: "Why don't you chop others but him? It shows that he deserves to be chopped!"
Bai Xiaofeng held Qing Shuang's hand and said happily: "You cut it well, you cut it beautifully!"
Yu Yonggui: “???”
Qing Shuang looked at Bai Xiaofeng hesitantly, then at Yu Yonggui, and swallowed the words in her throat, "I have chopped other people a lot too."
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes became red again after she learned that Qing Shuang had no parents and had been following her master to make a living in the martial arts world since she was young: "My dear girl, don't worry. You are our child now that you are with our Gui Ge'er. We will all love you in the future."
Qing Shuang was speechless for a long time.
…
The matter between Yu Yonggui and Qing Shuang was settled like this.
Bai Xiaofeng said that Qingshuang had no parents, so she couldn't let her family down when it came to the betrothal gift, and she had to help Qingshuang's family look good.
Princess Qing'an, the third sister-in-law, also expressed her willingness to let Qingshuang marry out of Prince Ying's mansion in a grand manner.
Qing Shuang was so moved that she didn't know what to say. When discussing the wedding date, Qing Shuang happily picked the nearest auspicious day.
