The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

The next day after breakfast, Tao Jiaojiao came to visit.

Mrs. Tao had fallen ill at this time, so Yu Ansheng did not show up, and Mr. Tao didn't want to show up even more.

Tao Jiaojiao was received by the brothers Tao Zhixing and Tao Zhiyi, as well as Mrs. Tao.

"Brother, I didn't expect to meet you here again, it's great!"

Tao Jiaojiao was very excited when she saw Tao Zhixing.

She couldn't help but take a step forward, tears in her eyes.

As he spoke, he went to see Tao Er and Old Madam Tao.

"Second brother, grandmother, are you all right?"

Tao Zhiyi smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

He couldn't help but think of what Xiao Beiyuan said when he came back, and then thought of Shu Xin and Miao Miao. It was because of Tao Jiaojiao that Yu Fang and the others were captured and their lives or deaths are unknown now.

He began to have a grudge against Tao Jiaojiao, and could no longer have the deep brotherly love they had when Tao Jiaojiao was still in the Tao family.

Tao Jiaojiao was very observant and she immediately noticed that Tao Zhiyi's reaction was different, and her heart skipped a beat.

Tao Zhixing hurried over to meet him.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here too? Aren't you in Shengjing?"

He looked surprised, as if the rift between him and Old Man Tao over Tao Jiaojiao last night had never happened.

Old Madam Tao also hurriedly grabbed Tao Jiaojiao's hand.

"Yes, Jiaojiao, are you doing well in the Shu family? Have you been wronged?"

Mrs. Tao was very excited, with tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, this is a long story..."

Tao Jiaojiao looked sad and seemed unwilling to say more.

Old Madam Tao and Tao Zhixing thought that she had been abused in the Shu family and felt very distressed.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this."

Old Madam Tao patted the back of her hand, looking as if she would do whatever she said.

"By the way, where are mother and father?"

Old Madam Tao’s expression froze.

Tao Zhixing also looked a little unnatural.

"They don't want to see me?"

Tao Jiaojiao threw herself into Old Madam Tao's arms and cried uncontrollably.

Old Madam Tao felt so distressed that she quickly stroked her back.

"Your mother has been ill since Miaomiao and the others were captured. She is now too sick to get out of bed. It's not that she doesn't want to see you. Your father is still taking care of her and can't get away."

Old Madam Tao had no choice but to explain.

When Tao Miaomiao heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Is my mother sick? How is she now? Grandma, please let me see her, okay?"

Mrs. Tao looked a little hesitant.

"Big brother, second brother. I came here today to talk to you about Miaomiao and the others being taken away. I want to say that there is a misunderstanding here."

Seeing that Old Madam Tao was hesitating, Tao Jiaojiao hurried to find Tao Zhixing and Tao Zhiyi.

Tao Zhixing had always only trusted her, and now he was even more convinced that she was innocent.

However, Tao Zhiyi didn't believe it.

"Mother is still ill, so it is not appropriate to take you to see her. Your status is different now, and it would not be beautiful if the sickness was passed to you."

Tao Zhiyi declined politely.

However, Tao Jiaojiao heard a sense of alienation in it.

She had tears in her eyes, and looked dazed and sad.

But in his heart, he secretly hated Tao Zhiyi for not believing him.

"Brother, you don't believe me, do you?"

Tao Jiaojiao asked directly.

Tao Zhiyi was silent.

But he was glared at by Tao Zhixing.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Jiaojiao has finally come here, how can you treat her like this?"

Tao Zhixing directly put on the airs of a big brother and scolded Tao Zhiyi.

Tao Zhiyi pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

He is a scholar and has a gentle temperament.

On weekdays, he often avoids the edge of his elder brother Tao Zhixing.

After scolding Tao Zhiyi, Tao Zhixing turned to look at Tao Jiaojiao with a face full of concern.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao. I'll take you to see mom and dad right away."

Tao Jiaojiao was overjoyed.

Fortunately, my eldest brother still listens to me.

She immediately felt much more at ease.

Then she followed Tao Zhixing to Tao's courtyard.

However, she was turned away.

"Your mother is ill. She has taken medicine and is now asleep."

Yu Ansheng looked at Tao Jiaojiao and sighed in his heart.

Tao Jiaojiao was stunned.

Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She was really a little sad.

She always felt that even though she was not Tao's biological daughter, her feelings for her were real, and her love and protection were also real.

Unexpectedly, after Shuxin had only been back at the Tao family for a few months, Tao's attitude towards her became cold.

She would never admit that this was all because she had done such excessive things to Shuxin and Miaomiao.

However, now she was asking for help, so she couldn't force her way in.

"Is mother's illness serious? Dad, do you have any medicine? If not, I can go and find some for mother."

Tao Jiaojiao expressed her opinion eagerly.

Yu Ansheng felt a little reluctant.

"We have prepared everything here, so you don't have to rush. Your mother fell ill because she was angry and worried about Miaomiao and the others' safety."

He couldn't help but tell Tao's situation truthfully.

But when he realized that all this was because of Tao Jiaojiao, he immediately felt sad again.

So much so that his face turned cold.

Tao Jiaojiao saw the change in his expression and felt resentful and angry.

"Dad, I know you are still blaming me for Miaomiao's matter. I came here today just to explain to Mom and you that there is a misunderstanding."

Tao Jiaojiao had tears in her eyes. She bit her lip to stop the tears from flowing down, and slowly told her about her grievances.

Yu Ansheng sighed in his heart again.

"Your mother is ill now, so let's not disturb her for now. When she gets better, you can come and see her. It won't be too late to explain then."

Yu Ansheng's tone softened a lot.

When Tao Jiaojiao heard this, the resentment in her heart eased a little.

She also knew that she couldn't express her true intentions today.

So she quit while she was ahead.

"Then father, please give my regards to mother. If you need my help, you can send someone to find me at Magistrate Xu's residence."

"Then I will come back to see mother in a few days."

Tao Jiaojiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to An Sheng pretending to be strong.

Seeing this, Yu Ansheng couldn't say anything cold and harsh.

He nodded in agreement and told Tao Jiaojiao to be careful.

Now the epidemic has broken out outside the city, but because County Magistrate Xu still keeps the city gates closed, the epidemic has been avoided from spreading inside the city.

However, Yu Ansheng felt that it was only a matter of time before the city would be affected.

Originally, Xiao Beiwang wanted them to leave Yunmeng City first.

But Shuxin and the others haven’t come back yet, and the Tao family doesn’t want to leave just like that.

Xiao Beiyuan always felt that she shouldn't have persuaded Shu Xin to save Tao Jiaojiao that day, so she blamed herself very much. She was depressed for the past few days and fell ill.

Old Madam Xiao was also worried about Shuxin and the others, so she decided to let everyone stay in the city.

In the past few days, the Xiao and Tao families have stayed indoors.

Fortunately, the food they prepared was enough to sustain them, so they would not be short of it for the time being.

Zhao Shunping also organized the men in his family and arranged for them to patrol every day to ensure everyone's safety.

Waiting for Xiao Beiwang to bring Shuxin and the others back.
