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

How could Xu Xiuzhu not hear the hidden meaning in Xu Xingyin's words?

Xu Xiuzhu was naturally furious when his own daughter called him a beast.

With red eyes, he jumped up from his position and raised his hand to hit Xu Xingyin.

Unfortunately Xu Xingyin was also stubborn and just stood there motionless.

He raised his chin stubbornly and stared at Xu Xiuzhu without retreating a single step, without any fear in his eyes.

"stop!"

The moment the big palm fell, Chen, dressed in brocade clothes, and Xu Chaoge hurried over and stood in front of Xu Xingyin with tears in their eyes.

"Master! What's the matter that can't be discussed calmly? You have to resort to violence!"

"Madam, you came at an unfortunate time and missed the beast's rebellious words. Naturally, I think she is doing very well."

Xu Xiuzhu angrily flicked his sleeves and sat back in the armchair.

"Since your mother pleaded for you, let's forget about it. But you allowed the dog to hurt me, which is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven!"

"Master, this must be a misunderstanding!"

Chen winked at Nanny Gu, who immediately placed Xu Xingyin behind her so that Xu Xiuzhu wouldn't see anything.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? If Wan Mian hadn't brought people to rescue Feng'er in time, your precious daughter would have made a big mistake!"

Chen had always been at odds with Aunt Liu. Seeing Xu Wanmian kneeling on the ground and pretending to be nice, and hearing what Xu Xiuzhu said, she immediately turned her anger towards Xu Wanmian.

"Since Mian'er cares about her sister, how could she abandon Feng'er and run to the ancestor to complain? Could it be that she has an ulterior motive?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanmian's eyes instantly turned red and tears streamed down her face, but she did not say a word in rebuttal.

Xu Xiuzhu hated to see Chen's aggressive attitude. If she hadn't considered her role as the principal wife, she would have probably stood up and slammed the table.

"Mian'er knelt for such a long time just to plead for mercy for that evil beast, but how come in the eyes of Madam, it seems like he had ulterior motives!"

For a moment, the whole room was filled with the domineering atmosphere, but Xu Xingyin calmly fixed his gaze on Xu Chaoge who had just returned home.

He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, had handsome features, and held a folding fan in his hand, which made him look more elegant and graceful.

The jade pendant around the waist is a pair with the one Xu Xingyin has worn since childhood, and they are 70% similar in appearance.

It turned out that this was Xu Xingyin's biological brother, Xu Chaoge.

In this situation, the person Xu Chaoge felt sorry for was Xu Wanmian.

The well-educated third sister knelt for a long time to beg for mercy for her good-for-nothing younger sister, and now she is misunderstood and insulted by her mother. How wronged she must be!

Xu Xingyin, who noticed this, immediately lost his good impression of his brother.

While secretly cursing her as "blind", he also realized that his mother had fallen into Xu Wanmian's trap.

Xu Xingyin knew that he could no longer allow his mother to continue begging for mercy.

Wu Xin walked out from behind Nanny Gu and bowed obediently to Old Madam Xu.

"Grandma, I know that it was my fault that I accidentally hurt my second sister, but what is more important than holding her accountable is her injury! I hope you can first find a good doctor to treat her. As for how to punish her, I will follow your wishes."

Since Xu Xiuzhu is biased, this path is naturally not feasible.

Instead of arguing with Xu Xiuzhu, it is better to let Old Lady Xu make the decision.

Xu Xingyin calmly handed the decision-making power to Old Lady Xu. Old Lady Xu was the elder, so even if Xu Xiuzhu and Xu Wanmian had other ideas, they could not speak out, so Xu Xingyin blocked their way.

Old Madam Xu was still concerned about the Crown Prince, so she naturally wouldn't make things too difficult for Xu Xingyin, and nodded.

"That's right. Right now the second girl's injury is the most serious, so let's discuss this matter later."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she heard Xu Wanfeng crying outside.

"Grandma! Second Uncle! You have to make the decision for Feng'er!"

Before Xu Wanfeng was admitted to the hospital, the sound of crying was heard.

Xu Wanfeng is the eldest daughter of the first wife. She has always been spoiled and has never suffered such injustice.

She was carried inside by several maids, her voice almost hoarse from crying.

Also beside them were the eldest lady of the eldest house, Madam Yang, and Xu Wanjie of the second house.

Xu Wanfeng cried bitterly, "Grandma, please make a decision for your granddaughter! My granddaughter and my two sisters went to deliver something to Xu Xingyin out of kindness, and not only did they have to wait outside for a long time, but they were also injured by the vicious dog in her yard."

Madam Yang also started crying, "Mother, the Chang family will be coming to visit soon, but Feng'er can't even leave the house. What should I do?"

The marriage between Chang and Xu Wanfeng was facilitated by Yang.

Chang Hongyi, the only son of the second branch of the Chang family, was born to Yang's younger sister. His father was a councilor of the Tongzhengsi. Although he was only a fifth-rank official, he was in charge of internal and external memorials, seals and rebuttals, and sealed appeals from subjects. He was a real minister close to the emperor.

Although the position of Tongzhengsi counselor means close contact with the emperor, it is difficult to advance further.

It happened that Chang Hongyi was of marriageable age, and the two sisters agreed to meet each other in a few days.

If the Duke's Mansion wants to get timely news from the court, it will need the help of the councilors of the Ministry of Public Administration.

For the Chang family, if they want to move up further, they must have a capable relative to lend them leverage.

Therefore, both the Xu and Chang families attached great importance to this marriage which had not yet been finalized.

Seeing Xu Wanfeng coming in like this, Old Madam Xu was so frightened that she could not sit still and almost jumped up from her seat.

"Poor child, how is he hurt?"

Xu Wanfeng didn't say anything, just cried, while Xu Wanjie beside her cried angrily with tears in her eyes.

"To answer grandma's question, my second sister didn't suffer any injuries to her bones, but she did have a large cut on her leg. The doctor said it might leave a scar."

Upon hearing this, Yang cried even harder.

"My poor child! What will happen if a woman is left with scars and is disliked by her husband's family in the future?"

Seeing this, Chen quickly pulled Yang's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, although Fugui'er chased after her first, he didn't really hurt Feng'er after all, and Jiaojiao also stopped her in time, so she must have hurt no one intentionally! I apologize on Jiaojiao's behalf, and I hope you won't bear a grudge against me."

Yang was usually a dull and gentle person, and had a good relationship with Chen.

That's why Chen had the nerve to plead for her daughter.

Yang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Sister-in-law, you know I'm not that kind of person. I came here today hoping that the old ancestor can think of a way to make Feng'er's injury heal faster. After all, she is a girl. If she is left with a scar and her marriage is ruined, how can she live in the future!"

When Xu Wanfeng heard what Yang said, she immediately started making a fuss.

"Mother! My daughter is so badly injured! How can you just let it go so lightly? Xu Xingyin caused me to be injured. Either send this calamity to the manor, or take a knife and cut her leg as well!"
