Chapter 152 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 12
After Gu Xinting returned home, she quickly found a doctor to check her wounds and apply medicine. There were several holes on her buttocks. Although there were no injuries to her vital parts, she had to stay in bed for several days.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching. She cursed Si Ying and cried out in pain.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo came to see her precious daughter with heartache. Seeing the wound on her daughter's butt that had been treated with medicine, she felt extremely distressed and hated Si Ying so much that she turned to the Duke of Zhenguo to complain.
"Master, wuwuwu~ Our poor Ting'er, she went to visit her sister who just came back with good intentions, but when she came back she became like that. She is still lying in bed now. Oh oh oh... Master, you have to make the decision for Ting'er. We were so good to her, but she treated our daughter like this, beating our Ting'er like that..."
The Duke of Zhenguo frowned. He didn't believe that Si Ying would be like this. From what he had seen over the past few days, he felt that the daughter of this old friend was a generous and sensible child. However, the always dignified lady kept crying. So he decided to call Si Ying over for questioning. After all, they were a family and they had to make things clear.
Si Ying was ordered by the servants to be brought to the main hall, where the Duke of Zhenguo was sitting in the main seat, and his wife was also sitting beside him. She had stopped crying and was sitting upright in the first seat, with a hint of gloating in her red eyes from just crying.
She was waiting to see Si Ying's performance.
When the Duke of Zhenguo saw Si Ying coming in, he smiled kindly. Si Ying stepped forward and saluted, and the Duke of Zhenguo quickly asked her to take a seat.
"Yao'er, your father asked you to come here for nothing else. You just came back home recently, and I don't know if you are used to living here. If you have anything to say, tell me or your mother, don't put yourself in a difficult position."
Si Ying nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your concern, father. Everything is fine."
"That's good. By the way, Yao'er, Ting'er went to see you a few days ago and got injured when she came back. Your mother and I don't know what happened. I'm afraid there might be some misunderstanding?" The Duke of Zhenguo tried to slow down his tone as much as possible for fear of making Si Ying feel uncomfortable.
"Father, Sister Ting'er came to see me that day. We didn't say much, and then she sat on the new chair that mother bought for me. But the chair broke under the weight, and Sister Ting'er was injured because of it. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked mother to change the chair for me. This one is worse than the cracked one..."
Seeing that Si Ying was about to talk about the inferior materials she had arranged, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo quickly interrupted Si Ying and said, "Yao'er, your sister was injured by you, why don't you go to see her?"
Just as Si Ying was about to speak, she heard a male voice, "Why did Ayao go to see Ting'er? It was the low-quality chair that her mother bought that caused Ting'er to get hurt. What does it have to do with Ayao?"
Gu Chengyuan strode in, bringing with him the maid who served Gu Xinting and the shop owner from whom the Lady of Zhenguo had sent someone to buy the chair.
Soon the matter became clear. The maid told everything she saw. It was indeed Gu Xinting who fell down while sitting on the chair and her buttocks was pierced by the broken chair.
The shopkeeper who sold furniture also said that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo bought a batch of low-quality chairs from him.
After hearing everything, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's face changed drastically. She didn't expect that it would be her own son who exposed her in the end.
Gu Chengyuan's act of sacrificing his own family for the sake of justice also amazed Tuan Tuan, who was lying on the table next to Si Ying watching the show.
Si Ying frowned and looked at Gu Chengyuan, not quite understanding why he did this. The Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo was his biological mother, and doing this would tantamount to destroying the image of the Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo that she had disguised in her heart for many years.
The Duke of Zhenguo did not expect the final result to be like this. It turned out that it was his own wife who harmed Ting'er in the end. So he turned to look at the Duke of Zhenguo's wife who was standing aside with a pale face.
"Madam, you..."
"Master, I, wow, I have no choice. The family is short of money recently, and Yaoer came back suddenly, so I didn't have time to buy the best ones. I wanted to wait for a while before buying Yaoer a better one..."
"Oh! Madam, you are so confused! I almost blamed Yao'er by mistake. Fortunately, Yuan'er brought people to explain the truth!"
As he spoke, the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Si Ying again, "Yao'er, good child, we almost blamed you wrongly. You...the things in the room, I will immediately ask someone to replace them with the best ones for you when I get back."
In fact, except for a few chairs in Si Ying's room which were of poor quality, all other items had been replaced with good quality ones. So at this moment Si Ying directly rejected the Duke of Zhenguo's proposal, saying that the things in her room were already very good.
The inferior chair would definitely not be broken with Gu Xinting's weight. It was Si Ying who deliberately used her spiritual power to break the chair to teach her a lesson.
And Si Ying was too lazy to engage in sarcastic exchanges with her, so she just told her to shut up and not to bother her with making trouble.
She came to help the original owner find the murderer behind the scenes, not to play house with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and her daughter.
After this incident, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and Gu Xinting kept quiet for a while, but when Gu Xinting recovered from her injuries, the mother and daughter started to act up again.
This time they happened to be attending a palace banquet, and Gu Xinting persuaded the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to take Si Ying with her.
Her purpose was naturally to make Si Ying embarrass herself at the banquet, so the clothes and headwear she arranged for Si Ying were the worst and ugliest.
Then on the day of the banquet, Si Ying appeared in front of everyone, wearing the clothes she had previously placed in the Void Realm. The aqua blue skirt set off her flawless white skin, and her whole body exuded a cool and noble temperament.
With only a glass tassel hairpin on her head, she looked otherworldly, like a fairy in a painting.
All the men present were attracted by Si Ying's unique temperament and they all vied to know who this girl was, as they had never seen her before.
Si Ying's beauty also made Gu Xinting, who was dressed up carefully beside her, look like a background board. No one would look at her childish pink clothes and the hair accessories covering her entire head.
In front of Si Ying's cold and noble appearance, she was just like a tacky nouveau riche, so vulgar.
Gu Xinting's plan to trick Si Ying once again failed. Moreover, because of this banquet, Si Ying's outstanding temperament and impeccable etiquette, like a lady from a noble family, made her the dream lover of all the men in Beijing in an instant.
Soon everyone found out that Si Ying was the youngest daughter that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had just found. With such a good family background, she suddenly became the object of hundreds of families' pursuit. Many officials and sons came to propose marriage, and the threshold of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was almost broken down.
The Duke of Zhenguo was very happy. He truly treated Si Ying as his own daughter. Now that his daughter was favored by so many families, he naturally couldn't stop smiling the whole day.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and Gu Xinting were so angry that they wanted to bite their teeth to pieces.
