C71 Chapter 71

"Aiyo." wet nurse Xi fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

"You actually dare to use force in Ci Yu Palace!" The Empress Dowager was furious.

Jiegeng was also very surprised that wet nurse Xi suddenly fell to the ground and hurriedly denied, "It is not me!"

"You still dare to defend! Men, suppress this woman!" The Empress Dowager grabbed Jiegeng's tail and naturally had to perform well.

"Who dares!" A deep and magnetic voice resounded throughout the hall.

Everyone looked at the door and saw Zhen'an King and Duan Shuang standing there.

"Are you alright?" Duan Shuang did not care about the gazes of everyone present. He walked straight towards Jiegeng and asked gently and caringly.

Jiegeng gritted her teeth and bit her lower lip. She held back her tears and stared blankly at Duan Shuang. She shook her head.

"Don't use too much strength. It is going to bleed." Duan Shuang saw Jiegeng like this and felt his heart ache.

Hearing this sentence, Jiegeng suddenly relaxed her mouth.

For some reason, when she saw Duan Shuang, the grievance in her heart surged. Tears rolled down her cheeks the moment she let go of ___.

Duan Shuang helped Jiegeng wipe away her tears in a considerate manner.

Seeing such a scene, Rani Yi could not help but look at the Empress Dowager provocatively.

The Empress Dowager's face was also extremely pale at this moment.

Jiang Wanxin, on the other hand, was secretly laughing at the side. It can be considered that she has come. If she doesn't come again, I won't be able to stop her.

"Aren't you usually quite domineering? Why is he so cowardly now?" Duan Shuang smiled dotingly at Jiegeng.

Jiegeng held the jade pendant tightly, her eyes wide open. Her eyes were filled with anger. "It's all because of you. If it wasn't for your jade pendant, there would have been so many problems." Facing Duan Shuang, Jiegeng could not help but use her usual small temper. She completely forgot about the current situation.

Just now, she looked like a soft persimmon that could be pinched by anyone. In front of Duan Shuang, she could actually put on a small temper. Most importantly, Duan Shuang seemed to be deliberately indulging in this girl's actions.

The empress dowager looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

"Then I'll take it back?" Duan Shuang asked on purpose.

"No way!" Jiegeng immediately put the jade pendant behind her back.

"That's right. Keep the thing that I gave you well. Let's see who dares to snatch it from me." When he said the last few words, Duan Shuang's fierce gaze shot towards wet nurse Xi who was lying on the ground.

Wet nurse Xi did not care about the pain in her body and immediately knelt down towards Duan Shuang.

"Xun Er, are you referring to the mulberry tree?" The Empress Dowager calmed her mind.

Only then did Jiegeng come back to her senses. She was still in the main hall of the Ci Yu Palace. All of her actions just now had been seen by others.

Jiegeng immediately shrunk half of her body behind Duan Shuang.

"Mother, I respect you because I will not interfere with my private matters." After all, she was his birth mother, so Duan Shuang didn't want to lose too much of his mother's face.

"So, I don't mind what you did before." Duan Shuang looked at Jiang Wanxin.

Jiang Wanxin's mind had never been on Duan Shuang. When she heard these words, she only thought that someone had stood up for her. Instead, she was secretly delighted in her heart.

"But, this kind of thing, please don't happen a second time."

Rani Yi quietly looked at Duan Shuang who was protecting Jiegeng and her recognition towards him in her heart could not help but increase a lot.

"Xun Er, so now you are going against Aijia because of this woman?" Although she knew that Duan Shuang had always had this kind of temperament, but in front of outsiders, the Empress Dowager still could not help but want to protect that "face."

Duan Shuang didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stared at the empress dowager for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Mother, you are really old. Why did your gaze become so short?"

When the empress dowager heard this, her body clearly trembled.

"I know your objective. I can assure you that no matter what you do, the Jiang family will not do as you wish."

"That is your maternal grandfather's home!" The Empress Dowager was instantly agitated.

"My surname is Duan." Duan Shuang faintly replied.

The empress dowager was instantly speechless.

"In the future, you don't have to pay attention to this summon from Ci Yuyu Palace." Duan Shuang turned his head and said to Jiegeng.

"Ah?" Jiegeng's reaction was half a beat slower. "This is really possible..." Before Jiegeng finished speaking, Duan Shuang elegantly pulled Jiegeng out of Ci Yu Palace and did not care about the Empress Dowager who was still at the main seat.

After the two of them left Ci Yu Palace, Rani Yi also gracefully bowed towards the Empress Dowager. "Then Chenqie will also retire first."

When Rani Yi left, her face was filled with joy.
