After Dong Yuzhen and Mrs. Lin asked for instructions, they went to the General's Mansion, and because of the rumors, Lin Zhu was temporarily living in the General's Mansion.

During the trip to Zhuyuan, Dong Yuzhen received some recognition from General Chang, although the matter between her and Chang Tianlei has not yet been finalized, but judging from the fact that she can go to the General's Mansion anytime and anywhere, General Chang is almost ready to accept her.

However, Dong Yuzhen's unhindered movement in the General's Mansion was unknown to no one except Mrs. Lin and Dong Wenbo, even Dong Jisheng, Mrs. Lin did not tell him, just because she was afraid that Dong Jisheng would use Dong Yuzhen to exchange benefits for the General's Mansion.

Therefore, the people in the Dong Mansion thought that Dong Yuzhen was invited by Lin Zhu. Even if this is not the right time to go to the General's Palace. However, because of the post from the General's Mansion, Dong Jisheng did not dare to refuse.

Liu and Dong Yuyao secretly gloated, they both thought that as long as Dong Yuzhen went to the General's Mansion, her reputation would also be affected, and the future marriage would definitely not be much better. Liu also secretly laughed at Mrs. Lin for being so negligent and harming her daughter.

However, Mrs. Lin did not show remorse, which made Liu and the others feel bored.

The Wang family.

Zhang Manyun and her mother Wang are sitting in the courtyard of Mrs. Wang's Wan, along with Wang Yurou and Song Hanyu's mother and daughter, as well as Wang Qingyan.

Zhang Manyun came over this time because Wang Qingyan was worried about Lin Zhu and specially invited her to inquire about the situation. Dr. Zhang was very close to Lin Zhu, and he was one of the first places to get the news.

"Cousin Yun, what's going on with Sister Xiaozhu?" Without waiting for Wan Shi and the others to speak, Wang Qingyan asked anxiously.

"Cousin, rest assured. Everything was fine with her there. Listening to her grandfather, Sister Xiaozhu didn't take the rumor to heart at all. Zhang Manyun explained softly.

"That's good, Girl Yan hasn't eaten or slept well these days, if I hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to the General's Mansion a long time ago." Wan Shi also looked relieved.

"Let my aunt worry, when these rumors pass, I will let her come and thank you in person." Zhang Manyun knew that Wan was sincere, and he also knew that if Lin Zhu knew about it, he would definitely be very grateful.

"It's just that I don't know where this rumor came from, and the rumor-mongers are really sinister." Wang couldn't help but sigh. Since her daughter's relationship with Lin Zhu has become closer. The accompanying Wang family also gradually understood Lin Zhu's personality, and naturally his good impression doubled.

"But there is no wind and no waves, isn't there really anything that this Lin Zhu girl is criticized about?" Wang Yurou interjected, although there was no malice in her words. But it also made people who cared about Lin Zhu a little uncomfortable to listen to.

"Little sister, don't speculate so wildly." Wang was stunned by her words. If this kind of talk gets out. It must have made the rumors even more rampant. "Miss Xiaozhu has known the old man for a long time, what kind of person is she, can she hide it from him? If there is a problem with Xiaozhu's character, the old man will never recognize her as his goddaughter. ”

Although Wang Yurou listened to her sister Wang's words. I don't talk about it anymore, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. Xu is because he has been staying in the scholarly family of the Song family for a long time, and he has implemented the dogma of the so-called ladies very thoroughly.

Therefore, what happened to Lin Zhu made Wang Yurou have a bad impression before she saw her. However, she also knew that Lu Dao could not be said in front of the Wan family and the Wang family.

However, I heard Wan Shi say that this Lin Zhu's life experience is a little miserable, and he has never seen his parents, and even the younger brother next to him has picked it up. This incident touched Wang Yurou slightly. But she quickly suppressed the feeling of heartache.

"But these rumors are always the most harmful to my daughter's family." Wan didn't want their sisters to have a conflict, so he sighed, breaking the embarrassment between the two.

Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan were also worried.

Song Hanyu sat aside, although she couldn't interject, so as not to prevent her from having some opinions on this matter. Regarding Lin Zhu, although they have met her, the two are not familiar with each other, and they are very curious that she can be accepted as a godgranddaughter by General Chang. I kept asking my two cousins for the reason, but I found nothing.

In her opinion, Cousin Qingyan really didn't know anything about Lu Dao, while Cousin Manyun might know the inside story of Lu Dao, but she didn't tell her. This made her collection a little bit mustard.

There is also the fact that the Song family has always thought that their poems and books are heirlooms, and they have no good impression of those who are in business with the smell of copper, and they think that everything is inferior, only reading is high, so Lin Zhu is considered by the Song family to be a person engaged in cheap business, which of course includes Song Hanyu and her family.

The six of them talked for a while, and then they dispersed.

In another courtyard of the Wang family, the old man Wang was sitting on a chair with a blue face, and there was a puddle of tea and pieces of broken teacup porcelain on the ground.

Although he didn't recognize Lin Zhu, he was always paying attention to her. And also prepared some gifts to congratulate Lin Zhu and Lu, which had already been placed with General Chang, so that General Chang would give them to Lin Zhu together.

Old Man Wang also knew Lin Zhu's personality through General Chang, and knew that she was not the kind of frivolous person, so she was so angry after hearing the rumors. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would have rushed to General Chang's Mansion and asked him for a theory or two, and he blamed the General's Mansion for not protecting her, so there would be such an unwarranted disaster.

The angry old man Wang blamed General Chang for everything. On the other hand, he was also very dissatisfied with Mu Qiyue. Thinking back to his reputation in the capital, he was no longer very welcome.

When he heard from General Chang that he had long been interested in Lin Zhu, Old Man Wang's heart was awkward. There is a deliberate opposition, but there is no justifiable position. made him very angry.

But he didn't think it was all bad this time. At the very least, Lin Zhu can be kept away from Mu Qiyue. Thinking of this, Old Man Wang's mood is a little better.

The one who has the same mood as him is the old man Lin Shulin. However, he didn't sit in the room and get angry like Old Man Wang. Instead, some people were sent to inquire where the rumors came from.

Because of the rumors, he strictly disciplined the juniors in the family, especially the girls, and ordered that no one should go out during this time, lest they be unknowingly mixed into the rumors.

Of course, Lin Mansion naturally discussed this matter quite hotly, and the party led by Lin Qingping and Lin Qingxue was all gloating, thinking that Lin Zhu would not be able to cause today's trouble.

On Lin Qinglan's side, she recognized that someone deliberately spread rumors and slandered Lin Zhu. Both sides have their own opinions.

Because they couldn't go out, the Lin sisters also argued behind closed doors.

"Hmph, I said that there are people who can't do their best, and the toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't look at how many catties and taels he is." Lin Qingping said with a sneer.

What the third sister said was that she thought that her black chicken had become a phoenix, so she wanted to climb the high branches again, but she didn't want to fall so badly. Hehehehehe. Lin Qinghui, the big maid, followed suit.

"After all, it's a rumor, and no one knows whether it's true or not, don't speculate about it two younger sisters," Lin Qinglan's face was not very good, "Besides, this is not something I am waiting for the woman in the boudoir to mention, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds." A warning made Lin Qinghui immediately blush, and she didn't dare to speak more.

Lin Qingping thinks that she is not much different from Lin Qinglan, and now that Lin Qingyue's status in the Qi Palace, no one can match, she feels that she is not only superior, but also that the sisters of the Lin family should be headed by her. So I didn't take Lin Qinglan's words seriously.

"Second sister, isn't the chatting between our sisters also to remind ourselves not to do anything inappropriate and let people have a handle. Lest we fall into the same situation as someone is now? Lin Qingping has still grown up, and has learned to speak in a high-sounding and meaningful way.

"The third sister is right, with this kind of thing, it's good for everyone to be more vigilant. However, it is important to know that rumors stop at the wise, and if these words get out, it will not benefit anyone. Lin Qinglan glanced at the many sisters in the lower room.

Several young ladies who followed Lin Qingping were a little shrunk by her slightly majestic gaze.

Lin Qinglan didn't want to talk to Lin Qingping and the others anymore, and was about to leave, but inadvertently found that Lin Qingxue was sitting on the side, not speaking from beginning to end. It struck her as a little strange.

For a long time, Lin Zhu's least favorite thing in the Lin Mansion was hers, and she used to sarcastically say a few words about Lin Zhu when she had something to do, but this time there was such a big thing, and she didn't see her speak, which was really strange. (To be continued......)
