Chapter 33: Rumors

Yu Ruoxu said lightly, "Ruoxu doesn't dare." β€œ

"Don't you dare? I think you're presumptuous! Xu Xiao'e clenched her silver teeth, and the corners of her charming eyes were fierce, "You return other people's gifts like this, and you don't ask what Princess Ben means, do you still have me as a housewife in your eyes!" β€œ

He Bingren looked at Yu Ruoxu, who gritted his teeth and was silent, and then looked at Xu Xiao'e, who was full of anger, and hurriedly got up to play a round, "Don't be angry, princess, didn't Miss also say it just now, wait for Lord Yu to return to the house to discuss it, you can dissipate your anger, don't hurt your anger." β€œ

"Hurt and angry?" Xu Xiao'e sneered, "I don't know who hurt whose harmony first?" β€œ

He Bingren was helpless, and turned his head to persuade Yu Ruoxu, "Miss Yu, this gift is indeed Mrs. Liu's intention, but there is no superfluous meaning, if you return it directly, it will be difficult for the old slave to explain......"

"Miss, Jasper Pixiu has been found." Xiu'er took Ah Si into the hall, and saw Ah Si holding a sandalwood box in both hands, looking heavy.

"I also bothered He Bingren to bring this pair of jasper pixiu to Mrs. Liu." Yu Ruoxu said firmly.

"Miss Yu, this ......" He Bingren looked embarrassed, Xu Xiao'e was just about to have a seizure, but she heard Yu Ruoxu say in a hurry, "If the iceman feels embarrassed, then I will let the family in the house send it back." β€œ

"You are really ......" Xu Xiao'e was so angry that she couldn't speak, only stared dryly, but had a fierce posture.

"The old slave doesn't dare." He Bingren wiped the sweat from his forehead, this Yu family is really strange, Miss's words are more effective than the main mother, and in the future, ...... I don't know what else to do.

"Then it's going to be a problem for the Iceman." Yu Ruoxu saw that she was soft, and her face softened, so she sat on the chair by herself, picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.

He Bingren only felt that his head was big, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, not to mention that neither the Yu Mansion nor the Liu Mansion can afford to provoke him, so he only said a few words of greeting, and then hurriedly asked people to leave with their things.

Xu Xiao'e really thinks that Yu Ruoxu is a stubborn stone, oil and salt don't enter, let you jump in anger here, but she can still sit on the side and drink tea leisurely, "You...... Do you really not like this family business? Don't you worry that you won't be able to marry and be ridiculed by the world? β€œ

Yu Ruoxu put down the teacup, stood up calmly, and said with a smile, "The princess knows that if she directly accepts the gift from the Liu family, it means that our Yu family has agreed to this family business." β€œ

"Princess Ben thinks that this family business is right, what's the matter, do you still need your consent to get married?" Xu Xiao'e looked disdainful, "Who do you think you are?" According to your Central Plains ethics, this family is still the princess who has the final say, and the princess will marry whoever the princess asks you to marry! β€œ

Yu Ruoxu had already been mentally prepared for her nonsense, but she didn't panic, and said leisurely, "As the princess said, our Central Plains pays attention to the life of our parents, the words of the matchmaker, but we also pay attention to the three outlines and five constants, among which the husband is the wife, and the princess is indeed the housemother of the Yu family, but when it comes to the daughter's marriage, in the end, it is the father who says it to count." β€œ

Since Xu Xiao'e and her theory are always ethical, she will accompany her to say a few more words.

"You ......" Xu Xiao'e seemed to be choked, and she couldn't say a word. At this time, Yun Bi behind him spoke, "The princess is for the good of Miss, and she said something more serious in a hurry, please forgive Miss." β€œ

Yu Ruoxu raised her eyes and saw that Yunbi lowered her head, her voice was soft but not soft, so she looked more down-to-earth and generous than Xu Xiao'e, "What is there to forgive, it's me who is offended, and I hope the princess won't take it to heart." ”

"Humph!" Xu Xiao'e snorted coldly, "Wait for Xianggong to come back, see if he favors me or you!" ”

Yu Ruoxu laughed, she always felt that her words were very naΓ―ve, but there was a bit of a child's anger, "The princess said that she laughed, you are Daddy's wife, I am Daddy's daughter, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, how can there be favoritism?" ”

"You know how dare you ......" Xu Xiao'e was about to choke her a few words, Yun Bi hurriedly grabbed her, and said urgently, "Princess, stop being angry, there are other people in this room, don't lose your dignity in front of your subordinates." β€œ

Xu Xiao'e was stunned when she heard this, so she barely stopped, and looked at Yu Ruoxu hatefully, "I'm upset when I look at you, let's go!" β€œ

Yu Ruoxufu saluted, but his eyes stayed on Yun Bi's back. I saw that her figure was delicate and upright, but she revealed a different temperament.

The lord of Nanyue is also painstaking, knowing that his straw bag daughter is delicate and domineering, and she must not be able to hold her breath in the back house, so he simply puts a calm and atmospheric maid beside her, which can be regarded as blocking some disasters for her.

"Miss." The butler standing aside interrupted her musings, "There's one thing, I don't know if I should say it. ”

"You say it's what it is." Yu Ruoxu was a little suspicious, she had never seen the housekeeper look like this.

"That day, after the lady got the account book in the house, she didn't look carefully, but flipped through it, as if she was looking for something."

"Looking for what?"

"I don't know the little one......," the butler hesitated, "that afternoon, the princess said that she wanted to go around the house, and said that she didn't need the little one's company. Later, I heard Pei Changchang say that the princess went to the master's study, but was stopped by him. ”

Yu Ruoxu recalled Xu Xiao'e's bad attitude towards Pei Changchang, it turned out that she was forcibly stopped by him once, and she held a grudge.

"With the master's order in the past few days, Pei Changchang didn't dare to stop the princess, so he let her in." The housekeeper's face was worried, and there was some uneasiness in his tone, "I heard that the princess has been in there several times in the past few days, and each time she has stayed for at least half an hour, and I don't know what she is doing." Now there are only some books left in the master's study, could it be that the princess is reading books in it? β€œ

Yu Ruoxu smiled, "Maybe." β€œ

"Isn't Miss going to check?" The housekeeper showed the same anxious expression as Xiu'er at this time, "Although it is said that it is trespassing, but after all, the princess is from South Vietnam, and Xiao always feels a little upset in his heart." β€œ

"It's all a family, what do you want to check?" Yu Ruoxu said lightly, "The princess was married to our Yu family under the marriage of the Queen Mother, if you take such precautions, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will show us a look." β€œ

The butler nodded, "That's what Miss said." After that, he said with a little worry, "Then today the princess made such a fuss in front of the official media, and she is not afraid of ...... in the palace."

Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "You can't let her sell me." β€œ

She didn't say no to the official media, and gave a pair of fine jasper pixiu, which was regarded as giving Liu Fu a step down. As for Xu Xiao'e...... She still has to behave, at least to maintain a semblance of harmony.

When Yu Zhongjun came back from the palace, Xu Xiao'e seemed to have lost her breath, and she was still smiling and giving her vegetables at the dinner table, "Today is that I am too anxious, and I want to give Ruo Xu a good family affair as soon as possible, lest others say that I have neglected the eldest daughter of the original match......"

Yu Ruoxu was convinced by the speed at which she changed her face, "The princess's intentions, Ruoxu understands." ”

Yu Zhongjun looked at the two of them and understood a little in his heart, "Is it the second son of Lord Liu's family?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Xiao'e heard Yu Zhongjun ask, thinking that his heart was a little loose, so he hurriedly said, "I heard He Bingren say, that Liu Ergongzi's appearance and talent are excellent, and Ruoxu is a pair of beautiful people......"

"Really?" Yu Zhongjun glanced at Xu Xiao'e, "How did I hear that he has been in poor health recently and barely shows up?" ”

Xu Xiao'e was blocked by his words, but she was a little annoyed, "Is Xianggong suspected that I picked bad people to match Ruoxu?" ”

Yu Zhongjun sighed, "I didn't mean that, it's just that if you talk about your family, you still want her to like it." ”

Yu Ruoxu just felt upset, from morning to evening, this matter was really endless, "Daddy and princess don't have to worry, my family affairs, I know it in my own heart, if I find a happy lover in the future, I will tell you frankly, but for now, please don't help me discuss my relatives at will." ”

Xu Xiao'e saw that she said so desperately, and the nameless fire that she had finally suppressed suddenly came out again, but she saw Yu Zhongjun's indifferent look, as if she had long been used to it, and she didn't want to be bored, so she snorted coldly, "Okay, okay, as long as your father and daughter are in love, even if this princess takes a mouse this time, it's better to be nosy." ”

Yu Ruoxu glanced at her, but her eyes accidentally swept over Yunbi behind her, only to see her eyes flickering, as if she was brewing something.

Her heart tightened, and she looked at Yunbi again, and found that she was still standing respectfully to the side, and the expression that had just flickered had disappeared. Yu Ruoxu was a little suspicious, could it be that she was dazzled just now?

A few days later, a rumor suddenly spread in the capital, saying that the second lady of the Yu family personally rejected the Liu family's family affairs in front of the princess, and did not save face at all. What's more, he also said that Mrs. Yu has been forcing her to stay by her side for so many years, and she doesn't consider her daughter's marriage, for fear that there is something ulterior behind her.

Yu Ruoxu originally thought it was a nonsense rumor in the market, but it faded after two days, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it, but the rumor spread more and more, and in the end it became a tryst between the father and daughter in the study every day, and she also instructed the guards not to allow the princess to approach, so as not to disturb the good things of the two. And the princess is actually a decoration in the Yu Mansion, and it is the Miss Yu family who can really speak.

Later, there were rumors that there was a fire in Yufu before, and a rough mother-in-law died, I am afraid that it was because I accidentally bumped into the unbearable scene of the father and daughter, and the mouth was extinguished. All kinds of rumors came overwhelmingly, and for a while, the Yu family was pushed to the forefront of rumors.

"It's really rumored that they have noses and eyes, I don't know if those people saw it with their own eyes or what!" When Xiu'er heard these rumors, she was so angry that she stomped her feet, "What a study tryst!" It's all nonsense! β€œ

Yu Ruoxu suppressed the anger in her heart and said slowly, "I know such a trivial matter...... I'm afraid it's coming out of our house. β€œ

"You mean...... Over there? Xiu'er pointed in the direction of the East Courtyard, "But ......"

"It's just my guess." Yu Ruoxu thought for a while, "If that's the case, she can be regarded as killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred." ”

The Yu family was rumored by this, and the princess, who had been marrying voluntarily with red makeup for ten miles, suddenly became the object of everyone's pity.
