Chapter 318 The real and fake daughter exposed
Old Mrs. Huo was so angry that she clenched her crutches tightly with both hands.

God knows how much effort she put in to restrain herself in front of this man and not swing the stick at Huo Jinxiu the first time.

Seeing how she disregarded her dignity and family, and scolded her own daughter in person for bringing down the whole family, Old Lady Huo felt really sorry for Yu Linlang.

She couldn't imagine what kind of miserable life this child had lived in the Yu family since he was a child.

She was so ashamed! She was so ashamed that she couldn't express it in words!

If it weren't for the old woman's poor teaching, Huo Jinxiu wouldn't have become the stubborn and disobedient person she is now.

Huo Jinxiu stared at her mother with wide eyes, her body and voice shaking with anger, "Mother, you are actually going to kick your own daughter out of the house for this little beast? You are really getting old and confused!"

Yu Shoudao secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug his wife and whispered, "Jinxiu, don't be so rude to your mother-in-law! Apologize to her quickly."

We can’t let this matter continue to ferment, otherwise the reputation of the Yu Mansion will be ruined.

"What have I done wrong that I should apologize for?"

"No need to apologize! I, an old woman, don't deserve it!" Old Mrs. Huo sneered and turned her head heavily to the side.

"What are you apologizing for? Why is this trial like a vegetable market, so noisy?" A clear laughter reached everyone's ears, with a hint of teasing.

"Did this prince go to the wrong place?"

As the crowd at the door retreated to both sides like water, two tall figures appeared on the small path that was only wide enough for one person to pass, and walked into the court one after the other.

The originally dark courtroom seemed to be lit up in an instant, and the whole room was shining brightly.

The Crown Prince is dignified and elegant, like an orchid or an osmanthus, while the Prince holds a bone fan in his hand and has a solemn aura.

The two men walked back and forth with their clothes fluttering, as if every step they took was wrapped in a hint of coldness that could not be ignored.

Prince Pingkang walked in front, raised the bone fan in his hand and gently pushed away the guards blocking the hall.

"Why, the case of hiring a killer to kill your grandfather has been closed?"

Ximen Bugui ran down the stairs holding his robe, and bowed to the two of them politely, "Your humble servant Ximen Bugui greets the Prince and the Crown Prince."

"Master Ximen, there's no need to be so polite. We heard that Miss Yu hired someone to kill someone, so we came here to take a look out of curiosity." Prince Pingkang smiled and glanced at Yu Linlang. "Miss Yu, how much did it cost to hire someone to kill someone? Do you want me to pay for you?"

Yu Linlang glanced at him.

Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the sharp voice of Princess Guo, "Prince Pingkang, Minister Su has appealed for justice on behalf of his sister before. Now that you and the Crown Prince have come, do you also want to exonerate Yu Linlang?"

"I understand what Minister Su meant just now. He meant that Miss Yu didn't like the Yu Mansion at all, so she hired someone to assassinate my grandfather and was obsessed with getting close to the Yu Mansion. That's not true, right?"

"What if the Yu Mansion was replaced by your Jinling Su family?" Princess Guoguo chuckled, "Yu Linlang didn't hesitate to hire someone to kill her adoptive grandfather who had raised her for many years in order to marry into the Jinling Su family!"

Su Jingyuan sneered, "Princess, you said climb up? That's the wrong word. The Su family doesn't need my Linlang to climb up. If it were possible, we would have wanted to bring Linlang home officially more than ten years ago. As long as she is registered in my Su family, what does the Yu family have to do with her? It's ridiculous."

Princess Guoguo smiled with a fake smile:
"Since Minister Su is Miss Yu's brother, he will naturally do his best to speak for her. It's a pity for the old man from the Xia family. He came all the way from Weizhou Prefecture to the capital. He is poor and has no connections. Naturally, no one is willing to speak for him." "Princess, you are wrong. How could old man Xia have no connections in the capital? Isn't the second lady of the Yu family a relative of old man Xia?" Mu Zhao said coldly.

"What?" Princess Guo didn't understand.

However, Yu Pianpian, who was leaning against Huo, turned pale as paper in an instant when she heard this. Her body became shaky and her legs became weak.

Mrs. Huo's breathing became rapid due to nervousness, and she hurriedly stopped Mu Zhao, "Master Mu, you can't say such things carelessly."

"Madam, you will know if I say anything nonsense once you ask." Mu Zhao slowly raised the corner of his lips, his face frighteningly cold.

"Master Ximen, I have a witness who can prove the true relationship between Yu Pianpian, the second lady of the Yu Mansion, and Xia Wangzu."

"Mother, mother, mother!!" Yu Pianpian was so panicked that she almost died.

She didn't understand, she really didn't understand. Everything was fine before, and the whole capital was criticizing Yu Linlang for being unfilial. Why did the situation change so suddenly, and the fire inexplicably burned herself?
It’s all Yu Linlang’s fault. It’s all Yu Linlang’s fault. Why do all the people help her and not me?
Yu Pianpian howled wildly in her heart, and put more strength into her hands, almost leaving a red mark on Huo's arm.

"Prince Mu, you..."

Mu Zhao ignored Huo Jinxiu and directly asked his guards to bring a fat woman to the court.

As soon as Yu Pianpian saw the woman, her legs suddenly went weak and she sat down on the ground.

Mrs. Huo noticed that she was different and quickly reached out to hug her, "Pianpian, don't worry, Pianpian, mother won't admit it, it's useless to let them talk nonsense."

"Master Ximen, this servant began to take care of Xia Wangzu half a month ago. Her address is in the alley of Xiyuan Street, the one at the eastern end. You can send someone to search, and they will surely find many traces of old man Xia's life."

"Half a month ago?" Ximen Bugui perked up. "My Lord, do you mean that Xia Wangzu came to Beijing half a month ago?"

"Indeed." Mu Zhao nodded calmly, "It's not like I was chased and killed on the official road to Beijing and got my head broken and bloodied."

"This servant can testify that the old man has been living a good life for the past half month. Until this morning when he left home, his head had never been opened by anyone."

Ximen Bugui immediately ran up the stairs, returned to the table, picked up the gavel and slammed it hard, "Xia Wangzu, what else do you have to say?"

Xia Wangzu trembled all over and fell to the ground, looking up to secretly glance at Yu Linlang.

Prince Pingkang laughed, "I told you, Miss Yu is beautiful and kind-hearted, even saints praise her for her kindness and generosity, how could she possibly attack my adoptive grandfather?"

"So all this..." Prince Pingkang pointed at the old man kneeling on the ground with his bone fan, smiling, "You are the one who wronged her."

"Sir, let's go to the official office to retrieve the records." Mu Zhao waved his hand gently, and Chang Qing quickly stepped forward and handed Ximen Bugui a piece of land deed information.

"The house in the alley of Xiyuan Street is the residence of Yu Pianpian, the second daughter of the Yu family. The maid can also confirm that in the past half month, the second daughter Yu has visited the old man more than once."

"When the two of them discuss things behind closed doors, Miss Yu Er will affectionately call Xia Wangzu her grandfather."

"Back then, Madam Yu took the wrong girl. Even if outsiders didn't know, the people in the Yu and Huo mansions knew it very well. You will know it as soon as you ask."
