Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Xu Xiuzhu had suffered a loss at the hands of Xu Xingyin before, and when he recalled the scene when his life was hanging by a thread when Xu Xingyin was born, he had no good attitude towards this biological daughter.

But Chen was an impatient person, so Xu Xiuzhu didn't dare to provoke her easily.

Therefore, he had to find another way and find Old Madam Xu.

"After all, the seventh girl is not young anymore. Girls of her age in other houses should be married by now. Mother will have to take more care of this matter."

"Ridiculous! The Seventh Girl has several older sisters, how can she surpass them? What happened back then might just be a coincidence. You must have believed in Aunt Liu's words too much, that's why you are so upset."

How could Old Madam Xu not understand the hidden meaning of her son's words, but it was precisely because she understood that she became even more displeased.

Xu Xiuzhu replied awkwardly.

"That's not what my son meant. He just wanted to add an extra pair of chopsticks for each additional person."

"Since you are going to raise her, you have to raise her well and make sure that the Seventh Girl is of the same mind as the mansion! The Seventh Girl is your legitimate daughter. Her family background alone is many times higher than that of other girls in the mansion. She is also engaged to the Crown Prince. If it doesn't work out, it's fine. But what if it does? Are you not prepared to accept the future status of the Emperor's father-in-law?"

Xu Xiuzhu did not agree with what Mrs. Xu said.

"How can the prince's marriage be finalized? Originally, the queen set up this marriage because she valued the power of the Zhennan General's Mansion. Now that the Zhennan General's Mansion is gone, what else can they gain? The prince's teacher is the prime minister. With the prime minister's example, the prince will not look down on my status as the prime minister this time."

Although the status of father-in-law of the emperor was indeed tempting, Xu Xiuzhu knew very well that he might not be able to catch the prince's eye.

After thinking about it, I felt quite emotional. What a great opportunity...

Old Madam Xu still felt that there was room for improvement in the situation.

"I think the prince might have this in mind. If there was really no chance between the two of them, the prince would not have supported the seventh girl that day."

Xu Xiuzhu was also moved when he heard this and said again.

"The Crown Prince has been away at the border for several years, and now he has come back to the capital for the coming-of-age ceremony. After the coming-of-age ceremony, the Crown Prince can officially rule the country. To put it in a very disrespectful way, he has one foot halfway onto the throne. If Xing Yin really has such an opportunity, it is her own blessing."

"That's right. According to the rules, the prince must marry after his coming-of-age ceremony, but the royal family has not shown any intention of looking for him yet. In my opinion, the seventh girl has a great chance."

Xu Xiuzhu nodded and was about to speak when he heard the maid running into the room in a hurry.

"Oh no! Miss Seven's dog has injured Miss Two!"

"What! Go get a doctor!"

……

When Xu Xingyin was brought into the Funing Courtyard, Xu Xiuzhu was sitting next to Old Madam Xu, his eyes bursting with anger, as if he wanted to beat her up severely to vent his anger.

Xu Wanmian sat below Old Madam Xu, her face full of worry and tears in her eyes. If you didn't know better, you would think she had suffered a great injustice.

Come to think of it, this is quite a coincidence.

Xu Xingyin had just been thrown back into the room by Lu Xu when she heard someone calling her name in the yard.

She didn't dare to act rashly and quickly changed into children's clothes.

As soon as she opened the window after combing her hair, she saw Xu Wanfeng running around the yard being chased by Fugui.

The wound on Xu Wanfeng's leg was not caused by Fugui's bite, but was scratched by a stone when she fell down in a panic.

Having said that, Fugui is indeed responsible for this matter, and as Fugui's master, I am also not free from blame.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin bowed calmly.

"Greetings to Grandmother and the Duke."

Even though Old Madam Xu had a headache, she still responded coldly.

When Xu Xiuzhu heard that Xu Xingyin really didn't even call him "Father", he turned his head away unhappily and said "Evil creature" with a serious face.

Xu Xingyin lowered his head slightly, with a faint curve on his lips.

Isn't it ironic to have a father like this?

"Where were you when the incident happened?"

"To reply to the Duke, I was resting in the attic when the incident happened. I woke up later because of the noise outside. When I opened the window, I saw my second sister, third sister, sixth sister and Fugui in the yard. I was afraid that Fugui might hurt my second sister, so I went downstairs and locked Fugui back in the room. I never thought that my second sister actually fell and hurt her leg."

It is one thing to explain what happened, but this matter was caused by the pursuit of wealth and honor, and Xu Xingyin did not want to evade responsibility.

So after explaining what had happened he bowed again and continued speaking.

"Although my second sister fell down by herself, this incident was caused by her wealth. I dare not shirk responsibility and am willing to take the blame for not disciplining her properly."

In one sentence, this matter was defined as a disciplinary responsibility. Even if it was a severe punishment, it would only be copying a few volumes of scriptures.

Xu Wanmian frowned when she heard this. This legitimate sister who had just returned home was really not someone who could be easily dealt with.

"Father!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanmian stood up, knelt down at Xu Xiuzhu's feet, and cried and begged for mercy.

"Please don't punish my seventh sister. She has only been back home for a few days, and my mother is not feeling well and has not been disciplined. It is normal for her not to know the rules of the mansion. No one is perfect, so I hope my father will be tolerant and not let my seventh sister down!"

Look at what Xu Wanmian said.

On the surface, he was pleading for Xu Xingyin, but in reality, he was reminding Xu Xiuzhu why Xu Xingyin was thrown into the Zhennan General's Mansion for several years.

It has only been a few days since he returned home and troubles have started to arise again. He is undoubtedly a disaster.

Furthermore, it reminded Xu Xiuzhu of how Chen, despite her poor health, had been busy tidying up the yard for Xu Xingyin and making the mansion a mess.

Originally, Xu Wanmian didn't say these things, and Xu Xiuzhu planned to deal with the matter based on the facts.

But when I think of Xu Xingyin's reputation as a disaster star, I want to drive him out immediately.

So his face immediately darkened and he scolded.

"The beast is ignorant, are you also ignorant? Feng'er is your sister, but you let the beast hurt her like this, which shows that you are extremely vicious!"

After hearing this, Xu Xingyin was so angry that he almost laughed.

Xu Wanmian really knows her father's character very well, and every time she instigates him, she hits the mark.

Xu Xingyin had always had neither love nor hate for his father. Now that he saw that he disliked him so much, he immediately had no intention of giving him any face.

"The Duke said that wealth is like beasts. I don't deny that. But I was able to return to the capital alive under the protection of beasts."

Xu Xingyin snorted lightly, his words full of contempt.

"But some people, knowing that I was in great danger, did not even offer me a greeting, let alone protection. Tell me, is he worse than the beast Fugui?"
