"Mother, Yangyang is my daughter and a living being. She almost died. How can we just let this go?"
"Isn't she fine?" Qian said impatiently, "The one who's in trouble now is Sister Xing.
She's already in such a miserable state, how can you, as a mistress, be so lenient? It's true that you don't even know how to feel sorry for a child who isn't your own!"
Oh, or was she wrong?
Yun Wanrou sneered in her heart.
She looked at Qian and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Mother, that's not what you said when Xing Jie'er was unconscious. I understand that you feel sorry for Xing Jie'er.
But Yangyang's life is also her life, and she is still your granddaughter. Why do you only feel sorry for Xing Jie'er and not for your own granddaughter?"
"I……"
Qian was choked by Yun Wanrou's words.
She turned to Jiang Yan and asked her for help.
Jiang Yan met her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, although Xing Jie'er is not my mother's granddaughter, she is also a child of the side branch.
Yangyang is fine, lying in Li's arms. But Xingjie is unconscious, so mother is naturally worried about Xingjie, aren't you right?"
[What's right? That old witch is obviously biased. The entire mansion is biased towards that illegitimate daughter. ]
[Double standards are double standards, and they are even described so nicely. The people in the Marquis' Mansion are really shameless! ]
Double standards?
Yun Wanrou didn't understand.
But she knew that what her daughter said was right!
She turned to look at Jiang Yan, with some displeasure in her eyes.
"Aunt, you can't say that. Yangyang is fine, she is lucky.
You can't think she's not a victim just because she's lucky. And I didn't immediately convict Xing Jie'er.
I am also worried that I have wronged Xing Jie'er, and I want the Marquis to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Come on, don't be so unreasonable. This is just a joke between kids. What's there to investigate?"
Qian glanced at Yun Wanrou.
"And according to the servant, when he rushed over, Yangyang's clothes were all dry.
Xing Jieer lost half her life in the pond. If we really investigate, maybe it’s…”
Before Qian finished her words, she realized she was wrong and quickly shut her mouth.
Yun Wanrou sneered and looked at her in disbelief.
"Mother means, did Yangyang deliberately push Xingjie into the water? Yangyang is only six months old and can't even walk.
If Xing Jie'er hadn't taken her to the pond, how could she have appeared there?
You said she pushed Xingjie'er into the water. Xingjie'er was six years old and much heavier than her. How could Yangyang possibly push her?"
[That’s right, I didn’t push her. It was me who asked Sister Water Ghost to invite her to play in the water. It has nothing to do with me.]
Yangyang was half lying in Yun Wanrou's arms, with her chin slightly raised.
She put her hands on her hips and hummed softly.
Yun Wanrou looked down at her, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
This little guy is quite proud!
Jiang Huaishu, who had been silent for a long time, felt a little annoyed that Yun Wanrou insisted on seeking justice for Yangyang.
He turned his eyes and looked at Jiang Nanxing who was sitting on the bed.
"Beside the pond, there are only Xingjie'er and Yangyang. Yangyang can't speak, so Xingjie'er, you speak.
What on earth were you going to do today when you secretly…carried Yangyang out of the pond?"
Jiang Nanxing's mind was now completely clear.
When Jiang Huaishu reminded her that Yangyang couldn't speak, she quickly pretended to be aggrieved.
"I saw that Yangyang was cute and wanted to take her out to play. I was so happy that I tripped over a stone.
Seeing that she was about to fall into the pond, I was afraid that something might happen to my sister Yangyang, so I threw her beside the pond. "
"So you fell in yourself, did you?"
Qian raised her hand with a smile and ruffled her hair.
"You're a good kid. You're so sensible, but Wanrou still doubts you. That's really wrong!"
As she spoke, Qian turned to look at Yun Wanrou, with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan also hurriedly said: "Xing Jie'er is young, but she is quite sensible. She knew something was wrong, but she still wanted to protect her sister. She is a good sister."
"Okay, we've investigated the matter. Ah Rou, are you satisfied with this explanation?"
[I am not satisfied. I am very dissatisfied! You are just bullying me because I can't speak and can't refute her! ]
[I am so angry, there is not a single good person in this mansion! ]
Yun Wanrou gritted her teeth and was very angry.
But it is obvious that Jiang Huaishu and others are on Jiang Nanxing's side.
Not to mention that Yangyang can't speak, even if she could, these people would say that she is too young and what she says cannot be taken seriously.
They all support Jiang Nanxing, so naturally everything she says is right!
I know that there will be no justice for what happened today.
Yun Wanrou raised the corner of her mouth slightly and nodded with a smile.
"Since the Marquis has already found out everything, Wanrou will take Yangyang back first."
"Um."
Jiang Huaishu was given a headache by the noise.
Seeing that Yun Wanrou no longer pestered him, he offered to leave.
He waved his hand and agreed.
Yun Wanrou hugged Yangyang and turned around, her expression changed instantly.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Wangshu said unhappily: "Madam, they are obviously bullying the young lady for not being able to speak, why are you still..."
Before Wangshu could finish his words, Yun Wanrou stopped him with a look.
Seeing Wangshu shut up, she turned to look at Chuqiu.
I saw that she was frowning and looking worried, and it was clear that her mind was not here.
"Chuqiu, you are always careful. The maids in the kitchen are all careless, and I am worried that they will lose focus while making medicine.
Go to the kitchen for me, boil the medicine, and then send it to Xing Jie'er."
Yun Wanrou’s words brought Chu Qiu back to her thoughts.
When she heard that she could stay, she quickly agreed and turned to go to the kitchen.
After watching her walk away, Yun Wanrou withdrew her gaze.
"Wangshu, Chuqiu is not one of us. Don't say such stupid things when she is around, lest you get caught in the wrong."
"Yes, I've made note of it." Wangshu bowed and said, "But Madam, are we just going to let this matter go?"
"I never expected that the Marquis would give Yangyang an explanation. Letting her soak in the pond for so long today was a lesson for her."
Yun Wanrou's voice was cold, and her eyes were even colder.
Jiang Nanxing is lucky to be alive.
She loves to make trouble so much. As long as she is alive, there will probably never be peace in the Marquis' Mansion.
By this calculation, maybe it’s a good thing that she’s not dead!
…
"Xing Jie'er, my Xing Jie'er. Hurry, drink the medicine!"
Chu Qiu boiled the medicine according to Yun Wanrou's instructions and sent it to Jiang Huaishu's room.
Seeing her walk in quickly, Jiang Huaishu frowned.
"Why are you here? I've told you so many times to be careful in the Marquis' Mansion and not let Yun Wanrou see through you!"
