Jing Zhuozhuo's eyes reddened as she spoke, sparkling tears rolling down her face.

She raised her head and looked at Jing Tiancheng. She tried her best to suppress the grievance in her eyes and spoke again with a stubborn look, "Your daughter knows that Daddy will send you silver every month, but Auntie's family will deduct all the silver. Your daughter had thought about telling daddy to make the decision, but thinking about how life at your aunt's house was easy, your father worked hard all day and all night and your daughter didn't want to give you any trouble. At her aunt's house, her daughter did whatever she could, and sometimes helped wash her aunt's clothes and find some wild vegetables. Your daughter always knew that her father doted on your daughter, and longed for your father to bring your daughter back to the clan.

After saying that, she bit her lips. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did her best to not let them fall. Her current appearance was truly stubborn, yet it also caused one's heart to ache. It was much more likely to arouse a man's desire to protect than crying and crying together with the rain.

And when he thought back to the days when she told him about her distant relatives, how a dignified direct daughter of the Jing Family had to wash clothes and dig up wild vegetables for the commoners. Despite knowing that her silver had been deducted, she still protected him kindly because he was living a poor life. Jing Zhuozhuo was probably the only one who was so kind and stubborn.

Everyone present couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation for Jing Zhuozhuo.

Actually, what Jing Zhuozhuo said was not the truth at all, because the truth was even more difficult and cruel than the truth.

She had arrived at her aunt's house in the country at the age of six, and not only had to take care of her aunt's grandchildren, but she also had to wash the entire family's clothes. In the winter, he was alone with a wooden basin and was rubbing his heavy clothes one by one. As time passed, his hands became covered with chilblains and even some of his bones were revealed. The scar fell again, and again, and again, and again, and again. For a whole year her hand had not been intact. Even when he was sick, he still went to the mountain to dig up wild vegetables. Once, he even fainted.

If she hadn't found and swallowed some medicinal herbs when she woke up, no one would have even known that she died in the mountains. There were countless things like this. It was truly an eye-opening experience for her to be able to safely endure through fourteen years of age.

Jing Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed with pain and hatred as she thought about the past. He absentmindedly raised his head and saw that Soong Zichen, who was not far away, had a meaningful look in his eyes. Startled, Jing Zhuozhuo quickly retracted her thoughts.

What exactly did Soong Zichen mean? Why did he give her a look that allowed her to see through everything? In her previous life, she didn't have any contact with Soong Zichen at all, and they only occasionally met and nodded to each other. But why did he look at her with that meaningful gaze? It made her feel terrified for no reason at all.

This feeling was similar to the feeling of being watched by someone during the banquet just now. Could it be that the person looking at him at the feast was Soong Zichen?

Jing Zhuozhuo couldn't figure it out. She clearly didn't have anything to do with Soong Zichen, but why did he keep making her feel weird?

After Jing Zhuozhuo said those strong and sensible words, Jing Tiancheng felt like he was in a trance. She seemed to be thinking about the beautiful lady who married with 10 miles of red makeup. She was just that stubborn. Jing Zhuozhuo was indeed her daughter, just like her character.

Thinking about this, Jing Tiancheng couldn't help but look at Jing Zhuozhuo. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be similar to the deceased Duan Yu'er by thirty to forty percent. The person in front of him was the daughter of the woman he loved the most. However, he …

A hint of sadness flashed across Jing Tiancheng's eyes. It seemed that he also had some of his father's love and heartache.

Naturally, Jing Chuchu also saw Jing Tiancheng's change and became impatient again at the bottom of her heart. He instantly forgot what happened before and spoke without thinking, "Father, since elder sister's body is injured, why don't we let Doctor Chen take a look at her again? "My body is very important, if it was due to a stubborn illness …"

"Chuchu, you don't have the right to talk here."

How could Jing Tiancheng not know what Jing Chuchu was going to say next? He interrupted her with a darkened face. The viciousness in his eyes made Jing Chuchu pale with fright. Xiao Yan bit his lips and lowered his head unwillingly.

"This is really strange. Uncle Jing's second daughter actually knows medical skills."

Soong Zichen, who didn't say anything the whole time, seemed to accidentally say something that made Jing Tiancheng's expression turn ugly. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't, so he could only forcefully hold it in.

Soong Zichen suddenly said. Although he sounded like he was joking, but why did it sound like it was on purpose?

After saying that, Soong Zichen shut his mouth and continued to put on a devilish look. It was unknown where he was looking with squinted eyes.

"Zichen is joking. How can Chuchu know medicine?"

After speaking awkwardly, Jing Tiancheng gave Jing Chuchu a reproachful look. He felt that his daughter was becoming more and more immature. Looks like I should find a woman who understands the rules to guide my teaching. If not, if they still married into the husband family in the future, then it would truly be a disgrace to their Jing Family.

"If you don't know anything about medicine, you can tell that Miss Zhuozhuo is my daughter's hidden disease. Even Doctor Chen didn't say that just now."

"That's right. Can this Lady Chuchu see through us?" Or could it be that Miss Chuchu can see his face and test his strength? "

With Soong Zichen speaking out and clearly trying to embarrass Jing Chuchu, it looked like he was trying to curry favor with Jing Zhuozhuo. Of course, Qing An and Qing Rui didn't want to be outdone, so they all fought to be the first to speak. He didn't forget to look at Jing Chuchu with mockery in his eyes even after finishing his sentence.

Jing Chuchu's face turned from red to white, and then from white to green under the sarcasm and sarcasm of the two princes.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Chuchu lowered her head and looked up. Her eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes. Although it had only been less than three months since her sister had returned, Chuchu and her sister had a very deep relationship with each other. The closer they got, the more they knew about their sister's private affairs. Today, seeing that Doctor Chen had come, they had wanted him to take a good look at her body. "Chuchu's heart ached for her sister's suffering at her aunt's house. Thinking about her sister's life, Chuchu felt very uncomfortable.

With that, large tears rolled down Jing Chuchu's face. Her eyes, washed by her tears, became a little brighter, and her expression became even more delicate due to the sadness on her face. Beautiful like a flower, its stamen was full of dew, naturally it caused others to love it dearly.

Before Jing Zhuozhuo returned to the capital, Jing Chuchu was a well-known beauty. At this moment, her teary face confused Zhong Qingan and Zhong Qingrui, and they started to feel sorry for her again.

"This prince is just joking. Lady Chuchu is so kind."

"Look, Jing Family's daughter is really a virtuous and virtuous woman who understands the general picture. Jing Family Master has two good daughters, whoever marries him will be considered lucky. "

Only then did Jing Tiancheng and Jing Chuchu's expressions improve a little.

Jing Chuchu even gave Jing Zhuozhuo a triumphant look, seemingly showing off her acting skills.

Jing Zhuozhuo only found it laughable that Qing An and Qing Rui were standing as fence-sitters. Fortunately, they could only muddle-headedly become princes. If they became princes or emperors, then Dongding Country would be considered finished. When a beauty from the enemy country came, they would not give up their land and rivers.

"It is truly rare for Lady Chuchu to care so much for her elder sister. "Since you haven't chosen your maidservant who is sick, I'm sure Lady Chuchu will have to take care of your maidservant herself."

Soong Zichen's words were obviously filled with curiosity, but it just so happened that he said it with certainty. In this way, Jing Chuchu, who had just been praised by Qing An and Qing Rui, naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to deny it. Even though she was extremely unwilling, she still forced a smile on her face.

"Brother Zichen has already told me what Chuchu was thinking. Chuchu was planning to tell father that she would take care of the elder sister every day before the maid was found."

Hearing this light and lively tone, it really was like a heartless, kind and innocent little girl.

Before the maidservants were found, they would come every day to take care of the eldest young mistress. It was truly touching to hear this.

Jing Zhuozhuo secretly felt that it was funny. Although she was curious as to why Soong Zichen would help her, she was happy to let Jing Chuchu down when she thought of the fact that she didn't need to say anything more. She wanted to see how Jing Chuchu would go back on her word in front of so many people.

Tsk, tsk. Jing Chuchu was obviously angry and unwilling, yet she was pretending to be happy. No matter how she looked at it, she felt quite pleased with herself.

"Father, princes, Chuchu will go back to her room first and find some tonics to send to elder sister later."

"Go, go, go. Qing'er and Waner should go as well."

"Yes, Father."

Jing Chuchu and Jing Qing'er bowed to everyone before turning around and leaving.

Watching Jing Chuchu's leaving figure, a trace of a smile flashed in Jing Zhuozhuo's eyes. It seemed that she had won this small conflict. It was a pity that Jing Tiancheng still favored Jing Chuchu a little. Otherwise, Jing Tiancheng would have given her a good punishment just for her performance today.

But no matter, she had plenty of time to let Jing Tiancheng down on his good daughter. Today was a day where a father and daughter's love for each other was deep. It was likely that it would grow fewer and fewer.

"Doctor Chen, please check Zhuozhuo's pulse properly and prescribe some medicine." "Don't worry about the silver. As long as I can heal Zhuozhuo's body, it's fine."

Tsk tsk, such a generous father. She didn't care about the silver. As long as she could take care of Zhuozhuo's body, she would be fine. But as Jing Zhuozhuo listened to these words, she only felt that they were fake.

"Princes, since Zhuozhuo is fine, let's leave first."

Jing Tiancheng only wanted these few grandsons to leave. Today, he had lost all his face. After all, this was Jing Zhuozhuo's boudoir. A man and a woman were seven years old, it was already over if they entered today. If they stayed any longer, it would not be good if news of this spread. After all, Jing Zhuozhuo was a girl, and the reputation of a girl was the most important.

"Doctor Chen, please look after Zhuozhuo. If there is anything you need, just ask this prince. The medicine in this prince's mansion is so expensive that it will definitely be able to heal Zhuozhuo."

"Zhuozhuo thanks Third Prince for his concern, Zhuozhuo appreciates Third Prince's kindness."

"Since that's the case, you should rest up. I'll come visit you at home another day."

They left one by one. Jing Zhuozhuo wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but she always felt that Soong Zichen had a deeper meaning when he looked at her before he left. Jing Zhuozhuo couldn't help but look at Soong Zichen. The man in front of her was only three years older than her, but he was evidently much more mature and reserved.

Compared to the heavy and light Rui who liked to show off, Soong Zichen had no idea how suitable it was to be a prince.

In his previous life, Soong Zichen had given up his title as the son of the Soong Family at the age of eighteen. Starting from a small soldier, he became a fourth grade loyal general in just one year's time. At that time, Soong Zichen was only twenty years old, and he was the youngest general of Dongding Country.

As for which prince Soong Zichen supported, he didn't have the chance to witness it himself. Because it was not even a few years since then that she had married, experienced the annihilation of her clan and suffered the humiliation and betrayal of the Jing Family, and finally died a miserable death.

Jing Zhuozhuo naturally did not know that Soong Zichen had left his seat before she had returned to Rose Garden through the secret path. As for what he had done to see the person, that was something to be said later.

"Eldest Miss, please allow this little one to take your pulse."
