After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 376 Punishing the Old Lady

Qiao Jingjing was so angry that she laughed and sneered, "Old Madam Yu, don't you feel guilty when you say this? What kind of upbringing do you think my mother should have when you threw her into the village right after she was born and ignored her?"

Old Mrs. Yu’s face changed and she remained silent, leaning on her cane.

Qiao Jingjing looked at her coldly, "I want to ask Old Madam Yu, how can you, who have never taught my mother a day, have the nerve to accuse her of being ill-mannered?

If you were well-mannered, you wouldn't have disdained your own daughter and abandoned her, right? "

Old Madam Yu was furious and said in a stern voice, "Qiao Jingjing, I am your grandmother. Is this how you talk to your elders?"

"Elder?" Qiao Jingjing looked at her in disbelief. How could the person in front of her have the nerve to act like an elder in front of her after doing so many ugly and vicious things?
"You don't deserve it!" She uttered three words slowly.

Old Madam Yu looked unhappy. She pointed at her and scolded her, "How can you be so disrespectful to your elders? Where is your upbringing? You are indeed a wild girl from the countryside. You have no manners or etiquette at all."

"I became a wild girl in the countryside because of you. If you hadn't indulged Yu Feng'er, my mother and I wouldn't have to be separated, and my mother wouldn't have to suffer so much. If my mother and I weren't lucky, we would have died long ago. You made us suffer so much. How can you still have the nerve to say that you are my grandmother and regard yourself as our elder? How can you still have the nerve to accuse us of being uneducated?

It's obviously you, Old Madam Yu, who are the most uneducated!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yu's face turned livid. She banged the floor with her cane and said angrily, "I gave birth to your mother. I owe her the favor of giving birth to her. If she doesn't acknowledge me, she will be struck by lightning! And you, you uneducated wild girl, will also be punished!"

Qiao Jingjing was so angry that her chest was heaving. "When you treated my mother cruelly, why didn't you think about retribution and being struck by lightning? Why, now that Yu Feng'er is dead, you finally remembered that you still have a daughter like my mother?

But when you abandoned her in the village, how many times did you go to see her? Didn't you realize that when she saw you just now, she didn't recognize you at all?

You are her mother, but you are not even as good as a servant.

Don't use the grace of giving birth to me to blackmail my mother anymore. My mother has already repaid you for all the grace of giving birth to me when you indulged Yu Feng'er all those years ago.

If there is retribution, you should be the first one to be punished. You, the Yu family, should also be the ones to be struck by lightning!"

Old Madam Yu's pupils shrank, she raised the cane in her hand, and hit her on the head, "How dare you, a junior, speak to an elder like this? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Qiao Jingjing was startled and was about to dodge, but at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and stopped the crutch that was about to fall on her head.

She looked back and saw that it was Lu Xingzhi, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Xingzhi's handsome face was covered with frost, and he looked at Old Madam Yu coldly, "It seems that Old Madam Yu has lived too comfortably, and wants to stay in prison for a while."

Mrs. Yu was very angry when she saw that she didn't hit Qiao Jingjing. Then she heard what the other party said, her face changed, and she said sternly: "You dare?"

"Why shouldn't I? Old Madam Yu disregarded the law and injured people in the street. Moreover, the person she wanted to hurt was a second-rank official conferred by the imperial court. This is simply an aggravated crime. Old Madam Yu will spend the rest of her life in jail." Lu Xingzhi felt angry and didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the cane in the other party's hand hit Jingjing on the head.
The more he tried to suppress his anger, the calmer his voice became. However, what he said startled Old Mrs. Yu, and she subconsciously let go of her crutches and took two steps back.

"Come here, old lady Yu deliberately harmed the second-rank lady. Take her to Jingzhao Prefecture immediately and ask the prefect to make a decision!" Lu Xingzhi threw away the crutch in his hand and ordered in a calm voice.

Immediately, a guard came forward and held back Old Madam Yu who was about to turn around and leave.

Old Madam Yu's face turned pale, and she gasped and said, "Lu Xingzhi, you treat an elder like this, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the censor?"

"Elder? How can you be our elder? Don't rely on your age and act like a bully in front of us. You dare to hurt my wife today. Even if I report you to the emperor, I am not afraid!" Lu Xingzhi's voice was cold. He then patted Qiao Jingjing on the shoulder and said, "You go in first. I will personally send this old woman to the government office." Looking at his handsome face full of frost, Qiao Jingjing knew that Old Madam Yu had angered him, and he was bound to send the old lady to jail today.

"Okay, be careful." Qiao Jingjing nodded. She did not sympathize with the old lady. This old lady was very bad. If she was lenient with her, she would definitely not have peace in the future.

She didn't want her mother to get hurt again.

When Mrs. Yu heard what Lu Xingzhi said, she finally got scared. Her face turned pale and her legs began to tremble.

She had a glorious life, but who would have thought that in her later years, she would end up in jail?
At that moment, she started to shout without caring about anything, "Fei'er, you can't ignore your mother. Your daughter and son-in-law are so heartless that they want to send me to see the authorities. Fei'er, please come out and save your mother..."

The corner of Qiao Jingjing's mouth twitched. She just felt sick and ignored her, but went straight into the mansion.

When Lu Xingzhi saw her go in, he winked at the guard.

The guard immediately stuffed a cloth into Old Madam Yu's mouth.

Old Mrs. Yu’s eyes widened and her face turned red, but she could not make a sound and could only curse in her heart.

Soon, the group headed towards Jingzhao Prefecture.

Inside the Duke of Qin’s Mansion.

The eldest princess was sitting in the front hall with Yu Fei'er and did not hear any noise outside. Then she saw Qiao Jingjing come in and asked with her eyes. She was relieved when she saw Qiao Jingjing shook her head.

"Jingjing, that old lady just now...I seem to have seen her somewhere before?" At this moment, Yu Feier suddenly frowned and said.

"Mom must have remembered it wrongly. This is your first time in the city, how come you have seen that old lady?" Qiao Jingjing didn't want her mother to remember the bad things in the past, so she was deliberately vague.

Yu Fei'er thought about it and nodded, "That's true. I can't have seen her. It's just that she looks a bit like you."

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly, "Mom, you must have seen it wrong. I am much prettier than that old woman. How could I possibly look like her?"

Hearing this, Yu Feier laughed and tapped her cheek with her hand, "Jingjing is so shameless that she actually praised herself."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

The eldest princess raised her lips and agreed, "That's right, Jingjing's face is thicker than the city wall."

Yu Feier clapped her hands and laughed, "Shameless!"

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

However, after this interruption, Yu Fei'er forgot about the old lady's matter.

The princess sat for a while and was about to say goodbye, but at this moment, Qin Xuan came back.
