Chapter 351: Scandal
Lu Qingrong was stunned by her sudden question, stared at Lu Qianyu, and didn't speak for a long time.
remembered that when Jiang Xuan first came back, he took the initiative to tell himself that they brought back a woman, and after returning to Beijing, Cui Yan helped arrange a place to live.
Lu Qingrong wasn't sure if Lu Qianyu was asking about this matter, so he didn't mention it rashly, so he just asked rhetorically: "Who is the second sister referring to?" ”
"A woman!" Lu Qianyu didn't intend to hide it, "It was said that the prince brought it back from Mobei, and now he lives in Muxi Hutong." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qingrong was sure that it was the woman at the beginning.
"I know that." Lu Qingrong said slowly: "It's just that the woman was not brought back from Mobei by the prince, but the ...... when the army was on the way back to the court, when he was about to arrive at Shuntianfu."
Lu Qingrong told Lu Qianyu in detail about the fact that the woman first encountered robbers and later went to the capital to find relatives without success.
"And from beginning to end, it was sent by the Marquis of Chengping to settle down, and it really has nothing to do with our mansion." Lu Qingrong added such a sentence at the end.
The look of worry on Lu Qianyu's face did not diminish by half a point because of her explanation.
"Do you know that...... That woman, pregnant......" Lu Qianyu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Lu Qingrong was taken aback, and tried to be calm on the surface.
Lu Qianyu had been carefully observing her reaction, but at this time she still found out that she didn't know about it.
"It is said that the woman's belly is not small, and ...... It's all out there. This child belongs to the prince. When Lu Qianyu said this, she didn't dare to look at Lu Qingrong.
After that, Lu Qingrong didn't see any movement for half a day. Lu Qianyu raised her head anxiously and explained in a low voice: "I don't say this to block you, I just think that when you encounter this kind of thing, the person concerned always knows about it at the latest, but loses the opportunity...... Whether it's true or not, I'll tell you first. ”
These words came from Lu Qianyu's mouth. It can be described as a rare depth, but Lu Qingrong has no time to take care of it.
At this moment, her mind is chaotic. There were a lot of thoughts in my head, and it took a while before I could barely calm down a little.
"Who did the second sister listen to about these things?" Lu Qingrong finally remembered and asked.
"The last time I went back to Lufu. Listen to what the second aunt said. Lu Qianyu paused. He added, "Mother doesn't know that. ”
Lu Qingrong sighed secretly.
The second aunt Geng is a well-informed person in the Lu Mansion, especially this type of rumor, which rarely slips through the net for her. When the crown prince passed away last year, the Geng family was very depressed for a while for Lu Manyu's abrupt end to the road of glory, and it seems that it has recently recovered again.
Merely. If you know it from Geng's mouth, the so-called "outside is spreading". It is estimated that it has not yet reached the point where everyone knows about it.
"When did this happen? Where did the second aunt hear about it? Lu Qingrong asked.
"Just a few days ago, I went back to my mother for my cousin's restaurant, and I wanted to ask her to help persuade my in-laws......" Lu Qianyu hid Yin Pingru's not only direct refusal but also taught her a lesson, and then said: "As for the second aunt, there is no mention of the source of this statement. ”
"Since you knew about it a few days ago, why did you come to sue me now?" Lu Qingrong asked like this, without any sense of blame, but she vaguely felt that there must be some reason for this.
Sure enough, Lu Qianyu then said: "I also know that I usually don't talk with my brain, but this matter is not trivial, and I am afraid that you will be worried, so I sent someone out to inquire in the past few days, and the words of the second aunt are not false, that woman is indeed pregnant." Most of the people who asked in the neighborhood didn't know the origin of her and the child, and there were one or two people in the neighborhood who vaguely mentioned the prince of Jingyuan, but they couldn't find the source of this rumor......"
Lu Qianyu told Lu Qingrong everything she knew.
Lu Qingrong listened with spirits, and was in no mood to talk about other things.
Sending Lu Qianyu away, she sat alone in the hall, staring at the piano in front of her in a daze.
In her heart, she still trusts Jiang Xuan very much.
What's more, when Jiang Xuan mentioned the woman to her, his attitude was very calm, and he said that there was a problem with the person's origin, and he also sent someone to keep an eye on it, trying to find out who was behind him.
With Jiang Xuan's temperament, since he has seen the strangeness, it is definitely impossible to give people a chance to get close.
But......
Seeing that a few months have passed, there has been no news of this matter, and I haven't heard Jiang Xuan mention it again at all.
This inevitably made Lu Qingrong's heart sway slightly.
When he was upset, Lu Qingrong's hand touched the strings again, and the tune also changed vividly, the melody was stiff, not to mention, the timbre was full of a different kind of high-pitched, quite harsh.
When Jiang Xuan walked into the hall, it was this chaotic sound that caught his ears.
"What's going on? The song is not easy to practice? Jiang Xuan also knew that Mr. Zhen was coming back soon, and Lu Qingrong was assaulting.
Lu Qingrong stopped what he was doing and smiled reluctantly: "I haven't touched it for too long, it's really rusty." It can be regarded as agreeing with Jiang Xuan's statement.
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he stood beside her with a smile, gently hugged her shoulder, and persuaded: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, playing the piano is a pastime, don't worry about this kind of thing." ”
Lu Qingrong only felt that the hand on his shoulder was a little hot, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he held back in an instant, although he didn't move, his body was a little stiff.
Jiang Xuan hadn't noticed it yet.
Just helped Lu Qingrong solve the matter of her sister-in-law, Jiang Xuan was in a good mood.
couldn't wait for Lu Qingrong to ask, so he took the initiative to say: "I went to see Lord Chu just now and told him about Lord Fan, and Lord Chu immediately said that this is not a big deal, and it is similar to what I said, this is just because of his last speech, which made the emperor feel anxious all the time." happened to meet the criminal department and couldn't get along with him, so he took the road of the merit test and gave him a bad evaluation, and the emperor naturally gave him a pass. Lord Chu said that the emperor did not intend to kill Lord Fan, if he persuaded a few words on the side, although he would definitely not be able to count on promotion, there was no problem in staying in Wanping County. ”
Lu Qingrong's worries for the Fan family were not fake, and when he heard about this at this moment, he was also relieved.
But I can't be happy anyway because I have something in my heart.
Jiang Xuan only regretted that she was not promoted because of Master Fan, so he did not investigate it deeply.
As everyone knows, Lu Qingrong's heart is turning over the river and the sea.
What he heard today, Lu Qingrong really didn't know whether to mention it to Jiang Xuan.
Trust in Jiang Xuan is one thing.
On the other hand, she didn't have the courage to face other possibilities...... (To be continued......)
