His Beloved Treasure

Mu Zihao genuinely took it to heart and stared at Jing Qing intently as he asked.

Jing Qing slightly lifted her eyes, clearly wanting to cry but instead, she laughed: ”Uncle, Yichen has changed, he’s not the Yichen we used to know!

”Xiaoqing, don’t talk nonsense!”

Jing Xianzong immediately cautioned her. Before coming, he had said that they shouldn’t utter a single unnecessary word, but Jing Qing just couldn’t control her temperament.

”Dad told me not to speak, but I couldn’t help it because I consider Uncle and Auntie as my own family. The moment Qin Mu returned, he had already forgotten all of us childhood friends.”

Jing Qing said aggrievedly.

Mu Zihao’s brows also slightly furrowed: ”I know this young man; since childhood, he has always cared more for Mumu than for anyone else. Even we, as parents, have to take a back seat to Mumu. But to say he has forgotten us, I can’t believe that! My son, Mu Zihao, is still very loyal.”

Jing Qing didn’t expect Mu Zihao to praise his son so highly, as he rarely did so in front of so many people.

Jing Qing’s eyes filled with panic.

”The girl has been unwell lately, her mind isn’t clear either. Yichen, of course, is a child with strong feelings. But Zihao, regarding the matters between our two families, can we discuss them privately? Yichen is currently collecting some things... You also know my father has always valued reputation the most. So, ah! What do you think if I have Xiaoqing apologize to them in front of everyone, even if it means kneeling and kowtowing, just that this matter doesn’t escalate further, okay?”

Jing Xianzong pondered deeply and blurted out everything he wanted to say.

”I don’t understand what you’re saying. What is Yichen doing?”

Mu Zihao looked at his father before asking seriously again.

”Girl, what on earth did you do to actually anger my grandson? Hmm?”

The old master didn’t bother with the young people’s nonsense; he had heard that previously the Jing Family patriarch had often made things difficult for his grandson’s wife. So, when the Jing Family came to them this time, he naturally wanted to seek justice for his granddaughter-in-law.

”Grandfather! I didn’t do anything, I—”

Thinking of last month’s events, Jing Qing closed her eyes in frustration and shook her head repeatedly: ”I wanted to do it, but I achieved nothing. It was my assistant, no, Qin Mu’s assistant, who had a conflict with Qin Mu and turned to me. Then she schemed against Yichen, slept with him, and Yichen thought it was me so now... He’s in the middle of doing something that could crush the Jing family, Grandfather, please think of a way to persuade him, okay? You’ve always known that in this life I’ve only ever loved him, and he really shouldn’t be so heartless and ruthless towards the Jing Family for this!”

Jing Qing, growing agitated while speaking, squatted down in front of the old master, held his hand, and looked up at him pleadingly.

”Girl, you haven’t told the truth to Grandfather, have you?”

The old master spoke to her very seriously.

Jing Qing began to cry: ”Grandfather! I really didn’t do anything, I am also a victim!”

She hugged the old master’s knees, resting her head against them and crying fearfully.

”If you didn’t do anything, given the years of friendship between our two families, and the close brotherly bond between that young man and your brother, would he be as unsympathetic as your father says?”

The old master spoke in a lowered voice, but still with authority.

”But I was also drugged, I wanted to have him, but I got nothing.”

Jing Qing looked at the old master and spoke earnestly.

”You were also drugged? What do you mean by that?”

The old master suddenly frowned and asked.

”This girl initially planned to trap Yichen and force him, but was outsmarted by a woman named Yang Qianxi, who seems to have then—”

Jing Xianzong found it difficult to continue with such words, and ended up sighing helplessly.

Everybody...

No wonder the young couple hasn’t seen each other for over a month; so it turns out...

Feng Fanghua, the thought of her son being defiled made her suspect that’s why her daughter-in-law couldn’t accept it; it was hard for her to accept too, right?

She also seemed to finally understand why the young couple had been at odds lately.

”Actually, this isn’t really a big deal, but Yichen is now taking the Jing Family alongside the Wang Family—”

”Xianzong, if this isn’t a big deal, what is a big deal?”

The old master didn’t let Jing Xianzong finish, interrupting him with a temperate yet severe question.

Though his voice wasn’t as cold and hard, Jing Xianzong could clearly see that the old master wasn’t inclined to show him any face.

”The Wang Family? What does the Wang Family have to do with this?”

Feng Fanghua curiously inquired upon hearing the unfamiliar term.

”That young man from the Wang Family is said to be involved in this too. You didn’t know anything? They didn’t tell you, the couple? Have both of them been schemed against?”

Feng Fanghua opened her mouth, but couldn’t force out a single word.

Both father and son alike were shocked.

”Hmph! With such a serious matter, you still have the nerve to come to our house asking for sympathy? What face do you have?”

The old master, enraged by Jing Xianzong’s words, slapped the armrest of the sofa, questioning loudly with a stern tone.

”You treat them like what, they are a married couple with a child, what you’re doing is simply—get out, all of you! I don’t want to see anyone from the Jing Family ever again!”

The old master stood up, lowered his head, and pointed outside, telling them to leave.
