Seeing the pride in Jing Chuchu's eyes, Jing Zhuozhuo lowered her head to cover the smile in her eyes. Only after a long while did she raise her head. At this moment, the nobles outside the door had already walked in.

Jing Tiancheng was the first to rush to the bedside. He looked at the two women who were trembling and pale, then looked at Jing Chuchu, whose face was filled with fear and disbelief. Thinking back to the scream he just heard, Jing Tiancheng had a faint feeling of fainting.

Could there be something wrong with Jing Zhuozhuo?

Jing Zhuozhuo was the direct descendent of Jing Family, so she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. If she had the hidden disease of her daughter's family, it might affect her fertility. Furthermore, with so many noble people knowing about it, it would be impossible for Jing Zhuozhuo to find a good family to marry off to in the future. At that time, the only thing that would be lost would be their Jing Family.

Now, Jing Tiancheng really wanted to block Jing Chuchu's mouth that liked to scream out in shock. If it wasn't for her screaming, how could these nobles rush in?

Thinking about how Jing Chuchu had disgraced him time and time again from the beginning of the feast, Jing Tiancheng became increasingly angry at her and glared at her.

"Chuchu, your esteemed guest is here. You are not allowed to act presumptuously."

Jing Tiancheng's not so strict but his words made Jing Chuchu surprised. A trace of grievance flashed past her eyes.

At this point, Jing Zhuozhuo didn't want to waste all her efforts. Moreover, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang's performance had already explained everything. If she didn't take advantage of the presence of the princes, how could she bring Jing Zhuozhuo down?

At most, she would just be punished by her father after this. In any case, with her aunt here, she would find a reason to get rid of the punishment sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Jing Chuchu no longer cared about Jing Tiancheng's warning. Ripples of light danced in her watery eyes as her eyes reddened. She said tenderly, "Daddy, I think someone must have lied to big sister, that's why big sister …"

Jing Chuchu wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She bit her lips lightly, and moisture appeared in her eyes. She looked at Jing Zhuozhuo with reluctance, unwillingness, and heartache.

Jing Chuchu's words seemed to cause a ruckus among the crowd, and everyone seemed to be at a loss. From the start, she was the only one who spoke. The old wives who were taking care of Jing Zhuozhuo stood by the side with pale faces, as if their bodies were trembling more and more with Jing Chuchu's words.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the situation before him was extremely bizarre.

Rong Tianran glanced at Jing Zhuozhuo and quickly shifted his gaze away as usual. Chong Qingmo was the only one other than Jing Chuchu who knew what had happened. Now that he saw Jing Chuchu doing everything, he naturally understood what she meant. Therefore, he wanted to know the result the most. The most irrelevant person in the room was Soong Zichen. He always had a charming expression and slightly narrowed his eyes.

Jing Zhuozhuo took in everything in silence. This scene was simply too exciting to watch. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in there too, he would probably laugh.

The unknown meaning of Jing Chuchu's words almost made Jing Tiancheng spit out blood. If Jing Chuchu hadn't spoken before this, he could have found a reason to ask these princes to leave. Now that Jing Chuchu had said this, if he allowed them to leave, then there would really be no doubt that this place was worth three hundred silver taels.

Now, he definitely couldn't avoid the topic. Helpless, Jing Tiancheng could only bite the bullet and say: "You didn't explain clearly what happened? Don't you see that the princes are concerned about your sister? "

Jing Tiancheng walked up and pulled Jing Chuchu's sleeves, using his back to block the others' line of sight. He quickly gave Jing Chuchu a warning look and told her not to speak carelessly.

"Dad, big sister, she …" She must have been bullied, or it wouldn't have been like this. Daddy, you have to help big sister. "

Jing Chuchu's words made it hard for Jing Chuchu to say. She naturally wanted to give everyone here a space to think, including her daughter's privacy, her wife's expression, and her words about being bullied and deceived by others.

As expected, the expressions of Qing An and Qing Rui changed as they looked at Jing Zhuozhuo with disdain. Chong Qingmo, on the other hand, remained expressionless. Wu looked at Jing Zhuozhuo with a look of reproach and surprise. The most interesting one was Soong Zichen. The way he looked at Jing Zhuozhuo was neither disdainful nor surprised. Instead, there was a trace of a smile in his eyes.

That smile made Jing Zhuozhuo feel as if she had been seen through by him. He might as well lower his eyes.

At this moment, Jing Tiancheng was so angry that his heart, liver, stomach and kidney began to hurt because of Jing Chuchu's unknown but coincidental words.

Why hadn't he noticed before that Jing Chuchu was such a stupid girl? It was a waste for him to love her so much. It was true. Was it really going to anger him to death?

"Old Lady Wang, tell me, what happened to Eldest Miss?"

Jing Tiancheng was already thoroughly disappointed by Jing Chuchu, so he didn't expect to hear anything good from her. He simply passed the power of reply to Mrs. Wang, who was still trembling violently.

Suddenly hearing her name being mentioned, Lady Wang's eyes trembled. Although she was terrified, she still stood up. After quickly glancing at Jing Chuchu and seeing the warning from Patriarch Jing Tiancheng, Lady Wang's legs gave way and she kneeled on the ground with a plop.

It was one thing for her to not kneel, but this act of kneeling seemed to have truly verified what everyone was thinking. Seeing everyone's expressions, Jing Chuchu felt even more pleased and delighted. She hurriedly motioned for Grandma Wang to tell them what had happened. However, no matter how she signaled with her eyes, that old granny Wang always lowered her eyes to avoid her gaze.

Jing Chuchu couldn't wait to see a good show. She thought that Old Lady Wang was afraid of Jing Tiancheng blaming her, so she said, "If there's anything you want to say, just say it. With a few princes, who would dare to do anything to you?"

In here, the only person who had the authority to punish Grandma Wang was the Patriarch of Jing Family, Jing Tiancheng. Jing Chuchu's words implied that even if Lady Wang said something that embarrassed Jing Tiancheng, he wouldn't do anything to her in front of so many princes. Imperceptibly, Jing Chuchu had once again deepened the unfavorable impression of Jing Zhuozhuo in the hearts of everyone present.

As for Mrs. Wang, her face turned even paler when she heard Jing Chuchu's words. If she was on Jing Chuchu's side, Concubine Hui would certainly treat her well. But no matter how much authority Concubine Hui had, the Patriarch of Jing Family was still Jing Tiancheng. If the lie was found out, it would not end up in a miserable state.

After some deliberation, Lady Wang decided to speak the truth.

"If you go home, Miss is indeed sick. Yes... It was because Miss Sunflower Water had touched cold water when she came and was overworked and hadn't been able to supplement her nutrition in time that made her fall into a serious illness. "But old master, you …"

"How is this possible? Did you see wrongly?"

Jing Chuchu was originally happily waiting to watch a good show, but she didn't expect that what Lady Wang said would be completely different from what she had said. He immediately opened his mouth without a care for anything else, and his eyes that were staring at Lady Wang were filled with warning. Her abnormal behavior made everyone even more confused. Everyone turned to look at Jing Chuchu at the same time.

Jing Chuchu had made such a scene when Chen Er Sheng was treating Jing Zhuozhuo. Now, it was Old Lady Wang's turn to react in this way. Everyone present was a master in the art of scheming and scheming against each other. They naturally saw through Jing Chuchu's little trick. In an instant, everyone looked at Jing Chuchu with a hint of incomprehension in their eyes.

Seeing everyone's doubt, Jing Chuchu was both flustered and embarrassed. With a pale face, she hurriedly said, "Father, what Grandma Wang said is not true. Why don't you ask Mrs. Zhang and ask her what's going on with her elder sister? "

With that, Jing Chuchu turned around and ran over to pull Mrs. Zhang in front of Jing Tiancheng. She gave her a warning look and said, "Quick, tell me everything you know."

Mrs. Zhang was so scared that her face turned pale. She kneeled on the ground and kowtowed as she pleaded, "Reporting to Master, it is indeed because Miss suffered from the serious illness of being too malnourished and exposed to cold water before she came to Sunflower Dew. This servant is speaking the truth and does not dare to lie to the Patriarch and all the noble men. "

The banging of her head made Jing Chuchu's expression extremely ugly. She knew that she wouldn't be able to continue on with the play. Not only would the plan fail, but it would also leave a bad impression in the hearts of the princes and their fathers. All of this was caused by Jing Zhuozhuo. Thinking of this, Jing Chuchu raised her head and glared fiercely at Jing Zhuozhuo.

Unfortunately, her gaze was caught by the princes once again. Jing Chuchu was shocked, and her face changed constantly like a color palette.

Jing Tiancheng was even more infuriated, but at the moment, he should have been concerned about Jing Zhuozhuo first. Jing Tiancheng gave Jing Chuchu a look before looking at Jing Zhuozhuo anxiously, "Sofia, why didn't you tell dad when you're not feeling well?" Now, if it wasn't for my wife's inspection, how would father know about Zhuozhuo? You've suffered so much. Although father sent you to distant relatives, but for your own good, they would treat you like this. "Father has wasted so much money by sending people to send it over every month. What a cruel and ungrateful person."

Jing Tiancheng's sincere words had cleared his responsibility, wasn't it? Sending Jing Zhuozhuo to a distant relative's house was for her own good. Furthermore, she would send someone to deliver money every month. It wasn't because she valued her daughter very highly. As for what she had suffered at her relatives' house, she had been easily covered up with a word from her relatives that was as heartless as a dog.

But now, all she had to do was be a 'good' daughter in front of Jing Tiancheng.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Zhuozhuo raised her head once more. She had a delicate and touching appearance, and her large eyes were filled with tears.

"Father, your daughter knows that you did it for your daughter's own good. Your daughter has never blamed you in the first place."
