When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"Grandma! Grandma?"

Before reaching Fu'an Hall, Xu Mingxi started to cry out in grievance.

Nanny Jin came out in response. When she saw Xu Mingxi, her cold face softened a little and she bowed:

"Second Miss, you are well. Please do not speak loudly in Fu'an Hall."

Knowing that Nanny Jin was always so strict, Xu Mingxi didn't take it seriously.

He nodded and pulled Xu Xinyue straight to the inner room.

The old lady had just finished her breakfast and was sitting on a low couch sipping a cup of rain-soaked Longjing tea when she heard someone calling "Grandma, grandma".

She knew who it was and was just waiting for that naughty boy to come in.

As expected, Xu Mingxi threw himself into his grandmother's arms as soon as he arrived, and looked at her mistily with a pair of innocent eyes like a baby animal.

In private, Old Madam Xu and Xu Mingxi did not pay much attention to etiquette and rules.

They are just like grandparents and grandchildren in an ordinary family, with only pure "admiration for their children" and "deep love for their children".

"Hey, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

I also found that behind Xu Mingxi, Xu Xinyue was standing there gracefully, her eyes red, not saying a word, with a look of sorrow and grief on her face.

His expression immediately became serious: "Did you offend Sister Xi?"

There was no longer the kind and gentle look he had when he spoke to Xu Mingxi, and his tone and attitude suddenly became cold.

Before Xu Xinyue could reply, Xu Mingxi answered first:

"Grandma, no, it's not my third sister. On the contrary, it's my third sister who is being wronged today!"

"Hmm! Could it be that you bullied Sister Yue? You, a naughty boy, actually filed a complaint first?"

"No, no!"

Xu Mingxi pulled Xu Xinyue's arm, rolled up his sleeves, exposed the wound, and showed it to the old lady.

Even the old lady who usually didn't care much for Xu Xinyue couldn't help but be moved by the wound: "How... did it become like this!"

Xu Xinyue did not say anything, but just lowered her head and shrugged her brows, looking like she was about to cry.

Instead, Xu Mingxi exaggerated what Xu Xinyue had cried about before.

"Grandma, my elder sister's perfume powder was originally meant for me, but I didn't accept it, so it was given to my third sister by mistake! Otherwise, Xi'er would have had this bloody wound today!"

Hearing this, especially the last sentence, the old lady's face became as gloomy as water, her brows were grim, and she was furious.

After being immersed in the affairs of the harem for so many years, how could he not see through such a trick?

The two people who were framed happened to be Xu Mingxi and Xu Xinyue who were selected for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. If one of them got into trouble...

The results are obvious!

The purpose is obvious!

With a "pa" sound, a slap hit the edge of the couch.

"Madam Jin, go and call that evil creature over here! For a mere spot at the banquet, he actually resorted to such despicable means to harm his sisters! It's really abominable!"

Inwardly, he was glad that Xu Mingxi had escaped the disaster, but he didn't want to show it too obviously.

Xu Xinyue is also her granddaughter, so it would seem too biased to do so.

She also comforted Xu Xinyue in a gentle voice: "Grandmother knows about Sister Yue'er's grievances. You don't have to be too sad.

Don't worry, grandma will find a doctor for you. Fortunately, the injury is on the arm, and it is covered by the sleeve, so it won't have much impact."

Xu Xinyue could only agree respectfully, but she inevitably felt sad.

I just thought that it was the pain that Xu Mingxi felt when he was wronged, but it would not have much impact on me. It is impossible to say that there is no gap in my heart.

But didn't she already know this? Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to ask the old lady for justice under the banner of Xu Mingxi.

The old lady seemed to realize that her attitude was inappropriate. She paused and ordered Nanny Jin: "Go, bring me my gold-inlaid jade butterfly hairpin, my pair of gold-pierced crystal melon earrings, and my pair of colored glaze earrings."

After a while, Nanny Jin came over with a tray of jewelry. The old lady waved to Xu Xinyue and asked her to sit down beside her:

"I am old now. These jewels were my dowry. They have been lying around for a long time. Now they seem to be suitable for you ladies to wear. Do you like them?"

This is comfort.

Xu Xinyue raised her eyes, but did not look at the jewelry any more. She thanked the old lady with a gentle smile: "Thank you, grandma. I like it very much."

Their faces seemed to show a harmonious relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, and they were caring for the young one.

However, compared with the natural intimacy with Xu Mingxi, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them.

After that, Xu Xinyue just sat quietly aside, watching the old lady and Xu Mingxi laughing and joking with gentle eyes, showing the deep affection between the grandparents and grandchildren.

There is envy, sadness, and desire.

The sunlight cast a gentle and peaceful golden halo around them.

Bright and dazzling, gentle and warm.

But not even a little bit of it fell on Xu Xinyue.

Different from the joyful scene at Fu'an Hall, the atmosphere at Hanxing Courtyard was simply dead.

None of the maids and old women dared to relax.

Xu Baiyu's temper early in the morning. The ping-pong sounds of jade and vases breaking in the house, the roars, scolding, and Qiu Lian's constant crying and begging for mercy frightened all the servants in the courtyard, and they dared not breathe a long breath.

Although they didn't know what had caused the young lady to be so angry, they all tacitly chose to keep silent and stay away, for fear of being implicated if they were not careful.

Everyone wishes they could become invisible.

When Nanny Jin from Fu'an Hall arrived, she immediately noticed the strange atmosphere:

A silent woman.

However, the purpose of his visit this time was to take Xu Baiyu over for questioning, so he pointed a maid to go and report.

Soon the little maid came back trembling, and spoke timidly and aggrievedly: "Madam... the young lady... she said she is not feeling well, so she won't go to pay respects to the old lady these days... so as not to make her sick."

Nanny Jin just felt that something was fishy. She knew a little about the affairs of Fu'an Hall and knew that the eldest lady had done something to displease the old lady. She was well aware that she came here to "invite" the eldest lady to come and ask for punishment.

What's with the unwell thing? Now it seems that it's probably just an excuse for the eldest lady to avoid meeting him.

She was no longer polite. Ignoring the other maids' attempts to stop her, she said, "Miss, the old lady wants to see you.

The old lady specifically instructed that if the young lady is not feeling well, she will ask Doctor Xia to come for you."

Doctor Xia is the court physician who specializes in treating the old lady. He has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years and is very experienced.

"If you can't get out of bed, I will bring you a sedan chair so you don't have to touch the ground."

In this case, you have to go.

Aunt Rong in the room was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she kept pacing around the room: "What should I do? What should I do, Xing'er... Could it be that they found out something? You can't go, and you look like this... How can you face people?"

Nanny Jin outside the door continued to yell, as if she would not stop until the girl left.

On the surface, Xu Baiyu still sat there calmly, thinking of a countermeasure.

However, her hands, fingers interlaced and rubbing against each other under the narrow sleeves, indicated her extreme inner unrest.

"Auntie, please be patient. I'm afraid you can't hide away now. Judging from the situation, you are here to punish me.

However, that person's condition shouldn't be much better either. She probably can't attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and is crying and begging the old lady to make the decision.

Next, we will see who is more pitiful."

"You...you want to..."

Having made up his mind, Xu Baiyu packed up a little, put on a cone hat and walked out.
