Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 315 Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan's anger is maxed out

When Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan heard the rumors spreading wildly in the streets and alleys, their anger was instantly ignited, rushing straight to the top of their heads, as if it was going to burn the entire sky red.

Although they were full of doubts about these rumors in their hearts, due to their persistent pursuit of the truth, they resolutely decided to go to the backyard and ask Dugu Jingyao face to face to find out.

As they hurried towards the backyard, they happened to run into the sisters Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue who were about to go out. Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue saw their two brothers and hurriedly stopped and bowed respectfully to them.

Dugu Moyan is usually considered a calm person, but at this moment, facing such a situation, the anger in his heart has already erupted like a volcano and is difficult to suppress.

His face flushed, his eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly, "What are those rumors about you out there?"

Dugu Xin, who was standing aside, looked at his two daughters who were so calm and composed, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Is there really some unknown secret hidden behind this matter?

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Could it be that there is some hidden secret that we don't know?"

Dugu Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, looked directly at her father and brother in front of her with a frank gaze, and asked, "Do you believe in my usual character?"

Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan nodded without hesitation, expressing their complete faith in Dugu Jingyao's character and their belief that she would never do such a despicable thing.

Seeing her father and brother's firm attitude, Dugu Jingyao smiled with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction. Because for her, the unreserved trust from her family was undoubtedly crucial.

Then, she opened her red lips and said slowly, "There is indeed something else going on..."

Since there were hidden secrets hidden from outsiders, it was obviously impossible to discuss them in a public place like the courtyard. Dugu Xin frowned slightly and quickly interrupted Dugu Jingyao who was about to speak: "Wait a minute, Yao'er! Come with me to the study to discuss this further."

Hearing this, the people present looked at each other, as if they understood something from each other's eyes, and then nodded in unison, indicating that they agreed with Dugu Xin's proposal. Then, they followed Dugu Xin's footsteps and walked towards the study.

As Dugu Xin walked, he instructed Xunfeng, who was following closely behind him, "Xunfeng, you stay outside the study and absolutely do not let anyone else approach my study. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

Xun Feng's heart trembled upon hearing the order. He knew this matter was of grave importance, so he bowed and replied without hesitation, "As you command! Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to protect this place and will not allow any outsiders to approach even a single step."

After Dugu Xin and others entered the study, Xunfeng gently closed the door and stood quietly outside the door, motionless like a sculpture, concentrating on performing his duties.

Inside the study, everyone took their seats. Dugu Xin stared intently at Dugu Jingyao, who was sitting across from him, and said straight to the point, "Okay, now that there's no one else here, can you tell us what you're hiding?"

Dugu Jingyao was a little flustered by Dugu Xin's sharp eyes, but she still forced herself to remain calm, first revealing a slightly guilty smile, and then slowly said: "Actually...this rumor is not completely false..."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin became furious. He slammed the table with his hand and almost stood up to scold Dugu Jingyao.

However, at this moment, Dugu Moyan, who had been silent all this time, appeared much calmer. He quickly held Dugu Xin's arm, signaling him to calm down. Then he turned to look at Dugu Jingyao and asked in a deep voice, "So, which part of what you said is true?"

Dugu Jingyao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and looked at Dugu Moyan with admiration and a hint of mystery, and said softly: "Yes, I was indeed poisoned, but fortunately I have successfully detoxified."

Dugu Moyan was shocked when he heard this, and his originally calm face suddenly became a little flustered. He frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "So, you really have a relationship with someone..."

At this point, he seemed to suddenly realize something and swallowed the rest of the sentence back, because he saw Dugu Xin staring at him with eyes wide open, as if he was going to rush over and hit him in the next second.

Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly, expressing her approval of Dugu Moyan's unfinished words. However, just as Dugu Moyan and Dugu Xin were about to lose their temper, she quickly added, "But, that person is none other than Li Chu..."

Hearing the name, Dugu Xin was stunned at first, then cursed inwardly: "Well, you little bastard! How dare you give my Yao'er to... Humph, if it weren't for your special status, I would definitely teach you a lesson! If you can't marry my Yao'er in a grand manner in the end, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Liu Jingyue on the side made an unexpected move - without saying a word, she knelt down with a thud.

This sudden scene not only surprised Dugu Xin, but also Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Moyan, who were stunned and stood there, not knowing how to react. After a long while, Dugu Xin finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Yu'er, what are you doing? Hurry up and speak!"

Liu Jingyue sobbed, "Daddy, it's me...it's me who's sorry to my sister. My sister got...poisoned because she saved me. I didn't want to see her explode and die, so...so I resorted to this desperate measure." After she finished sobbing, she turned from sobbing softly to crying loudly.

Dugu Jingyao quickly squatted down, helped Liu Jingyue up, hugged her and said, "I don't blame you. Their target was me. Even if I hadn't come to save you, they wouldn't have let me go."

Liu Jingyue added, "But...but if I were more diligent and studied martial arts with you seriously, I wouldn't be a drag, and I could even...even help you."

Dugu Jingyao tried to comfort her, "Yu'er, don't say that. You're still young. When you found out I was poisoned by love, if you hadn't been smart enough to help me delay, I wouldn't have been able to wait for Li Chu and Lin Zhi to arrive. How could I be standing here like this?"

Dugu Xin felt very distressed when he saw his daughter crying. "Yes, after all, Yue'er, you are still young. Even if you learned martial arts, you can't beat those well-trained killers. And you did the right thing. In such an emergency, you were able to make a judgment and save your sister's life. It was great."

Liu Jingyue blinked away her tears and asked, "Really?"

Dugu Moyan looked at Liu Jingyue and smiled gently, "Of course it's real, even more real than pearls!"

Only then did Liu Jingyue burst into laughter.

Just when the family was enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, Erwang came to the study. Xunfeng stopped Erwang outside the door as instructed and said, "The prince and princess are discussing important matters. What do you want?"

Erwang stated his purpose directly: "Lord Xunfeng, I just received a letter from Prince Guangping's Mansion, asking me to pass it on to the prince." Then he took out the letter.

Xunfeng took the letter and said, "Okay, I will pass it on to the prince, you can go on with your work." Erwang bowed as he was told and went to the mansion gate.

After Xun Feng saw him walk away, he knocked lightly on the door and heard Dugu Xin ask, "What's the matter?"

Xun Feng said, "It's a letter from Prince Guangping's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin let Xunfeng in. After Xunfeng entered, he bowed to everyone, handed the letter to Dugu Xin's desk, and then retreated to continue guarding the door.

After Dugu Xin opened the envelope and read the contents, his anger, which had finally subsided, was ignited again. He kept muttering, "These villains actually made trouble in the court!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Moyan walked over, picked up the letter from the table, and took a quick look. The general message was: This morning at court, a group of civil officials, led by Yang Guozhong, advised the Emperor that Dugu Jingyao was unruly and unfit to be a royal daughter-in-law, and requested the Emperor to revoke the marriage decree. Yang Guozhong even proposed the absurd idea of letting Dugu Jingyao marry into the palace first and then having Li Chu divorce her. However, he was immediately rebuked by the Crown Prince and Li Chu, and the Emperor also stated that he would investigate the rumors before taking any action.

Dugu Jingyao was optimistic. She thought Li Chu should be able to get hold of something on the Cui or Yang estates, so she consoled him, "Dad, brother, don't worry. At least it shows that the emperor trusts me. That way, those officials won't stir up too much trouble, and we can take advantage of this to catch the mastermind behind this."

Dugu Xin sighed and said, "I just hope that the emperor and Li Chu's people can find some useful clues."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Since it has already happened, there is nothing that can be changed. However, things are in the hands of man. Li Chu had some clues before. Now they are spreading rumors with great effort and they will definitely be exposed."

Dugu Moyan was a little worried: "I always feel that this matter is not so simple, they must have a trick up their sleeve."

Dugu Jingyao shrugged and said, "Let's just take it one step at a time..."

Dugu Xin burned the letter, then stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "Okay, it's time to go to the palace to pay my respects to the emperor. But since this has happened, I will go by myself. You can just stay at home."

After hearing this, several people felt that Dugu Xin's words made sense, so they nodded, followed Dugu Xin out of the study, and then returned to their respective courtyards.
