Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Dugu Jingyao understood what was going on. He was still trying to exonerate his daughter at this point. Of course, she couldn't let An Aoxuan succeed! Just as she was about to speak, her impatient father, though he didn't beat around the bush like in the inner house, was no fool. How could he not understand what An Aoxuan meant? So he said, "Uncle An, what do you mean?"

An Aoxuan said, "My dear nephew, since both of them are at fault, they must be punished." He took another sip of tea before slowly saying, "Haha, I just want to hear what the punishment is for the other person who made the mistake." An Aoxuan's excuse was irrefutable, but Dugu Xin was still very unhappy, so he said, "Don't worry, An, although she is my concubine, we will definitely not show partiality. We will punish her in the same way as my sister-in-law!"

An Aoxuan knew that the opportunity had come, so he said: "My dear nephew, as far as I know, you have neither reported to the police nor heard the news of Qin Liangdi being deposed. I guess you are praying for the family?" Unexpectedly, Dugu Jingyao suddenly said in a cold voice: "How do you know that she didn't taste the poison? After all, it is a chronic poison and it won't kill you instantly." An Aoxuan felt that he was careless and almost forgot this. An Jialan felt cold sweat after hearing this, wondering why Dugu Jingyao was different from before. Although she was a princess, she was just a little girl. How could she be so organized and methodical now! But there was no way. Now that she was being acupunctured, she couldn't speak, so she could only point at her father.

An Aoxuan didn't expect that the father and son really didn't play by the rules, so he could only try to ask: "Oh? Have you taken the poison?" Dugu Xin found that his daughter was very thoughtful and didn't want to continue arguing with this old man, so he let his daughter play. As long as it wasn't too serious, he would cover it himself!

Seeing that her father clearly didn't want to pay any attention to them, Dugu Jingyao said, "Not yet, but as the main instigator, Auntie should have received a heavier punishment than Qin Liangdi, so there's no comparison." Seeing what An Aoxuan wanted to say, Dugu Jingyao took over without giving him a chance to speak, and didn't beat around the bush: "Let me put it this way, for the sake of our family's reputation, and because Qin Liangdi has come to her senses and made amends, we'll deprive her of her housekeeper rights. We'll pray for the Dugu family in the backyard until Yue'er gets married. Yue'er is now over 8 years old, and she'll probably be 15 or 16 before she gets married. Qin Liangdi will probably have to pray for seven or eight years. I also understand what Grandfather An means. He must want Auntie to receive less punishment. In that case, are the points I mentioned not too much for a main culprit?"

When Dugu Jingyao finished her speech, everyone was filled with different thoughts, but all were shocked. After all, she was just 13 years old, and yet she was so logical and well-reasoned, making it impossible to refute her. An Aoxuan thought to himself: Although I really want to refute her, I really don't know where to begin. I didn't expect this little girl to be so capable. Weighing the pros and cons, he thought, isn't it just vegetarianism and Buddhist chanting? It's better than exile or divorce, and he began to think about it.

Dugu Xin: I don't know when Yao'er developed the dignity of a superior. She used to follow me or that brat Mo Yan. It seems she's really grown up! From now on, I can rest assured that my Yao'er will never be bullied. Lao Huai looked at Dugu Jingyao with satisfaction.

Dugu Yan: Yao'er is so amazing! How could I dare to talk to my father-in-law like that? Although it was a bit disrespectful to the elders, what she said was well-reasoned and irrefutable, which made me feel inexplicably comfortable!

Dugu Moyan: Is this still my cousin? She really seems like a completely different person. Not like the mischievous monkey she used to be? Every day she's either fishing in the river, picking fruit from trees, or brandishing swords and guns.

Aunt Wu: They are indeed the prince and the princess, their aura is so powerful!

Aunt Xu: It seems that this lady is going to be stripped of her housekeeping rights. Does that mean I have a chance to take over? This way, I can also help my Yu'er and Yu'er save more betrothal gifts and dowries!
