Chapter 120: The Big Scandal
An Yixin was puzzled. Aunt Xiu said that Aunt Wen went back to her parents' house and heard the big news, so she didn't dare to hide it, so she specially came to tell the old lady and asked the old lady to give Lu Yunzhen an idea. But Lu Yunzhen hasn't spoken yet, why did Lu Yunhui scream and didn't want her mother to speak?
Could it be that Aunt Wen is a gossip who loves to gossip when she has nothing to do, and for this wife who has offended the third room? So her shrewd daughter stopped her mother from speaking?
Thinking of this, An Yixin's eyes turned, and she immediately noticed that Lu Yunzhen was staring at Aunt Wen on the other side, with a faint hostility in her eyes, full of vigilant light.
It seems that this is indeed the case, this Aunt Wen not only loves to gossip, but Aunt Xiu is deliberately fanning the flames, otherwise the two aunts would not have run to the old lady to talk, in front of Miss Yan, but avoided Lu Yunzhen's mother-in-law, the wife of the main room in the third room.
Looks like there's a good show. Although he didn't know what was going on, An Yixin had already said something like this in his heart.
She quietly dragged Qiu Yue, and the two of them stepped back together in tacit understanding, shrinking into the shadows.
Aunt Wen was stopped by her daughter, and was stared at by Lu Yunzhen with wary eyes, and her expression couldn't help but hesitate.
"You went back to your mother's house today? If you hear something, tell me. The old lady had no notice of the sudden tense atmosphere in the room, and asked with a smile, "We're stuffy, tell me quickly." β
She didn't mention that she wanted to call Lu Yunzhen the master, nor did she think that she would call the third lady, not to mention that this matter might be about the reputation of the young lady and needed to be cleared, she just wanted to listen to the gossip, so she urged Aunt Wen to say it quickly.
An Yixin laughed secretly in her heart, the old lady is never reliable.
"Old lady," Urged by the old lady, Aunt Wen's eyes lit up, and she suddenly cheered up. "I went back to my mother's house today to celebrate my mother's birthday, and several sisters in the family met together, and I learned that there was big news about the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites." She paused when she said this, glanced at her daughter, and then looked at Lu Yunzhen again. "The prince who is engaged to Miss Yunzhen is a wild seed, not the son of the Ministry of Rites at all."
As soon as the word 'wild seed' came out, Lu Yunzhen's face turned white, glared at Aunt Wen, and blurted out, "You are talking nonsense." β
"What do you say, who is the wild seed?" The old lady didn't hear clearly, and grabbed Aunt Wen's hand and asked.
"The prince who is engaged to Miss Yunzhen is a wild seed." Aunt Wen didn't care about Lu Yunzhen's shocked and angry scolding, and said it again to the old lady. "That prince is not the son of the Ministry of Rites, he is a wild seed that his wife has fornicated with others, and he has been hiding it for so many years, and now the Ministry of Rites has only discovered this matter, and the city is full of turmoil, and he wants to divorce his wife and children!"
"Really?" The old lady's eyes widened, "It took so many years to find out?" How was it discovered? β
Lu Yunzhen's face turned pale, her body shook, but her eyes were as bright as morning stars, and she stretched out her hand and pointed at Aunt Wen, "You are talking nonsense." You talk nonsense. She screamed loudly.
"Miss, be more steady. You haven't passed the door yet, and something like this happens to your future mother-in-law's house, you have to calm down, and you can't shout, it hurts your dignity. Aunt Xiu frowned on the side, but her eyes were full of smiles that could not be hidden, and she persuaded her.
Lu Yunzhen gasped fiercely. "Aunt Wen, I know you love to chew your tongue, but Shangshu Mansion ......"
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing!" Aunt Wen interrupted Lu Yunzhen and sighed sympathetically, "I know that Miss doesn't believe it, it's all because no one is walking around outside in our mansion these days because of the general's business, so we have been kept in the dark." In fact, the whole capital was shouting. I was thinking that Miss you are an innocent person, and you can't marry a wild seed in a daze, so I didn't wait for the birthday banquet to start, so I hurriedly ran back to tell the old lady and asked the old lady to call the shots for you. β
Hearing Aunt Wen say this, An Yixin couldn't help but secretly slander herself. How much enmity does this Aunt Wen have with Lu Yunzhen? When I heard this, I didn't even care about my mother's birthday banquet, so I ran back.
"Mother, don't blame Sister Yunzhen for saying you, you have always heard that the wind is rain, and you never want to think about it carefully." Lu Yunhui didn't wait for Lu Yunzhen to speak again, she had already pointed at her mother and said loudly. "If you think about it, there are many sisters in the third lady's family, and you are also cousins. You said that the whole capital was shouting, but you only heard about it at your grandmother's birthday banquet, didn't they hear about it earlier, why didn't they come to sue Mrs. SΓΉ? β
Lu Yunhui had a straight face, her tone was stern, and she asked her mother like a cannon.
Although this kind of questioning is not only embarrassing for her mother, but also for her daughter, it is even more unruly to ask her mother in front of a room of people. But she had no choice, she knew that no matter how nice her mother said, she was afraid that Lu Yunzhen would be deceived before she hurried to report to the old lady, in fact, everyone knew her mother's personality, and understood that she just heard this big scandal, and she couldn't bear it, so she immediately rushed back to see Lu Yunzhen and the third lady's joke.
Lu Yunhui didn't care about worrying about her mother being hated by the third lady and Lu Yunzhen, she was only worried that she herself would be hated, she had to say a few words quickly, so that Lu Yunzhen could understand that her mother was confused, she didn't believe her mother, she was thinking about her.
was questioned by her daughter in public, Aunt Wen was not angry, but sighed again, "Yunhui, you are still young, your sister Yunzhen has long been engaged to Wang Gongzi, and the third lady says every day that Shangshu Mansion has a good style, and she has guarded a wife for 20 years, neither a concubine nor a room, and she is a real white family." These words are on her lips every day, and now it suddenly broke out that this wife has been stealing people and raising Han since more than ten years ago, and Shangshu's only son is a wild seed. How do you let Madame's sisters speak, this is not a report, isn't this coming to the door to slap Madame in the face! β
These words were reasonable, Lu Yunhui glared at her mother, and she didn't know how to refute it.
An Yixin couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart, this third lady is also interesting, her husband's concubines on the family tree can't be counted on one hand, she still has the face to boast in front of her mother's family that the son-in-law she found for her daughter has a good style, and her future father-in-law has not accepted a concubine for 20 years.
Lu Yunzhen's face turned pale and opened her mouth, but she only said in a low voice, "This is impossible." You must be talking nonsense again. β
"Miss Yunzhen, Aunt Wen has said it, this matter is all over the capital, why do you still refuse to believe it? In my opinion, only Sister Wen cherishes you, and as soon as she hears about it, her heart will be on fire, and she can't take care of anything, so she immediately rushed back and asked the old lady to give you ideas. Without waiting for Aunt Wen to speak, Aunt Xiu immediately picked up and said.
Lu Yunzhen was speechless, panting one bite at a time.
"Do you want to invite the third lady to come over and discuss?" On the side, an old grandmother leaned into the old lady's ear and whispered.
The old lady nodded immediately, "Call the eldest lady too, she is in charge of the house, and she has a lot of things, so I have to listen to her ideas." Anyway, she just wanted to hear gossip, and she didn't want to make up her mind for her granddaughter.
Mama called the two maids and whispered a few words. (To be continued.) )
