After speaking, he hurriedly made a defense: "This situation will be thought so by anyone, the sixth master has been alone for many years, that maid came from the countryside, has no strengths, no family background, and carries such a big sin on her back, but the sixth master pleaded with the eldest young master and transferred her to the bamboo garden, everyone has known the sixth master for so long, who doesn't know that he is pure and has few desires, and never asks for people?!" So when someone asked me curiously, I casually said, "How do you know...... It's going to spread so much! ”

Shen Zhaoyan's dark eyes were half-narrowed, and he had a judgment in his heart: although this matter came from his mouth, it was used by someone with a heart after hearing it, and then it was spread to everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Who is this man, and what is his purpose?

"Zhaoyan, is the sixth master back? I'm going to apologize to him. Cheng Yizhi asked stubbornly.

Shen Zhaoyan retracted his doubts, looked at Cheng Yizhi, and asked solemnly, "Cousin thinks it's okay to apologize to the sixth master?" ”

Cheng Yizhi hurriedly added: "After apologizing, I will go back and gather all the subordinates in each room and courtyard to clarify the matter, and prohibit them from passing it on again. ”

Shen Zhaoyan's voice was a few degrees colder: "That's all? ”

Cheng Yizhi became nervous again, he really couldn't think of what else he could do besides these? Isn't that enough? Cheng Yizhi thought about it again and again, and finally said stupidly: "The words are clear." ”

"Could it be that cousin thinks that this kind of rumor has only slandered the sixth master?" Shen Zhaoyan said unhappily: "For a girl who has not left the cabinet, there is no harm in the slightest? ”

"A little ...... that the sixth master didn't fancie" Cheng Yizhi just wanted to speak, touching Shen Zhaoyan's cold eyes, his heart suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly avenged himself: "That maid is not wronged!" ”

Shen Zhaoyan's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "What do you mean by this? ”

"I said this a long time ago. However, after such a long time, this matter has not stopped, but has become more and more true, why is this? Naturally, it is inseparable from the person concerned. The sixth master often goes out far away, and is rarely in the house, so he doesn't know about it, let alone spread the word. But as a little-known little maid, after hearing about this, she must have thought that it was the sixth master who had taken a fancy to her, and it was too late for her to be happy, so how could she deny it? I'm afraid it will only acquiesce in the matter. In this way, others mistakenly think ......"

"Poof——! Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhaoyan slammed the table and glared at him angrily.

Cheng Yizhi was shocked, and then looked at Shen Zhaoyan, his face was gloomy and more terrifying than the weather outside.

I've never seen Zhao Yan get so angry, what's wrong today? He has always been moody, why did he get angry when he heard a few words?

Not only him, but Mingde and Zhong Liyue, who were standing under the eaves outside, were also startled.

"The eldest young master is going crazy?" Zhong Liyue glanced inside the door in shock, and then looked at Mingde: "What happened?" ”

Matilda pursed his mouth, "How do I know?" Anyway, what can make the eldest young master angry must be a big deal. ”

Nonsense!

"You haven't even heard of such a big thing?" Zhong Liyue pinched the fingertips of her little thumb with her thumb and said exaggeratedly.

"The duty of the subordinate is to serve the food and clothing of the master, and the ...... of the master"

"Don't ask about the master's affairs, right? Okay, okay," Zhong Liyue raised her palm to stop him from continuing to ramble, "I won't say anything." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the study room was too big, this broken door should not have such a good sound insulation effect. Zhong Liyue thought badly that if Mingde wasn't here, she would eavesdrop on the door.

In the study, Shen Zhaoyan said angrily: "A wave of rumors has not been settled, and the chief housekeeper still wants to create another wave of rumors?" ”

The title of 'cousin' was changed to 'big housekeeper', and Cheng Yizhi instantly realized the seriousness of the situation, and his body trembled involuntarily. After coming to the mansion for several years, Zhaoyan has always been polite to him, and he has never been like this. Did Zhao Yan do this because rumors spread and caused disadvantage to the sixth master, or did he deliberately take this opportunity to step down from the position of his chief butler?

"Go outside and call Liyue in." Shen Zhaoyan commanded.

Cheng Yizhi nodded hurriedly in horror, turned around and went out to call Zhong Liyue in.

Zhong Liyue thought that she was called in to serve tea, but as soon as she entered, Shen Zhaoyan asked with a sloppy face: "There have been rumors about you and the sixth master in the mansion recently, do you know about this?" ”

Zhong Liyue was stunned, and nodded inexplicably, "The slave knows." ”

"You know?" This time, Shen Zhaoyan was stunned, her performance was not abnormal recently, and he thought that she didn't know about it. It turned out that she knew. For a woman, hearing such rumors, if she was wronged, she must be crying and making trouble and feel aggrieved, but she didn't react, is it really as her cousin said, it's too late to rejoice?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhaoyan's body stiffened, and an indescribable feeling quietly came to his heart. What's wrong with you?

Cheng Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this would be the case. A little girl, what an honor it is to be looked upon by the sixth master? She's just younger, what else? In other words, there are more young girls who want to marry the sixth master, and Zhaoyan still doesn't believe it! looked at Shen Zhaoyan complainingly, but saw that he was staring at Zhong Liyue complicatedly, there seemed to be a resentment in his eyes, like a wounded lion, with bursts of tenderness under his fierce appearance.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and took a closer look.

Shen Zhaoyan's face was calm, as usual.

Cheng Yizhi couldn't help but wonder if he had read it wrong just now, and then thought about it deeply, but was taken aback by his own thoughts, how could Zhaoyan fall in love with her?

"I don't know why the eldest young master suddenly asked about this?" Zhong Liyue asked puzzled. She was sure that she was not mistaken, Shen Zhaoyan had a hurt expression just now, and just as she wondered why he had such an expression, his face had returned to normal.

Shen Zhaoyan said coldly: "Today, the sixth master is very angry when he learns about this, he wants to find out the rumor-mongers and severely punish them." ”

"Really? That's great! Zhong Liyue clapped her hands, very happy, thinking of the rumor-monger, she gritted her teeth and said: "You must find out this person and punish him severely, otherwise she will not take the sixth master seriously." ”

When Cheng Yizhi heard this, he was so angry that he almost choked. He is a big housekeeper, and it is the turn of a little maid to accuse!

Shen Zhaoyan was confused by Zhong Liyue's reaction, and when he heard her clap his hands, he should have been very angry about this matter. So why haven't you heard her tell me? "If you know about this, why didn't you report it to the public, or come forward to stop the situation and let the rumors spread?"

Zhong Liyue smiled contemptuously, hooked the corners of her lips and slowly spit out a few words without hurry: "Rumors stop at the wise." ”

Six words lightly, but revealing great disdain.

Shen Zhaoyan instantly understood what Zhong Liyue meant, and instead of bothering to explain, it was better to let the rumors break down over time. People have always tended to believe what they think, so the more they explain, the more unclear it becomes. Regardless of whether she and the sixth master have intersected or not, as time goes by, the truth will automatically surface, and at that time, those false rumors will naturally dissipate.
