Chapter Twenty-Four: Rumors
It's almost early summer, and it's getting hotter. As soon as the day is hot, people become more and more lazy, Bai Huanru is lying on the bamboo chair under the porch every day and looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, even the spring garden behind her feels that she is tired a lot, and even the fan in her hand feels much heavier than before.
But before Chunting was so lazy for long, Qiu Zhi's news blew Chunting to the outside and tender inside, and he couldn't be lazy anymore.
When Qiu Zhi ran in in a panic, Chun Ting also said that Qiu Zhi's temperament was too frizzy, and even the curvature of Xia Yun's mouth when he said that sentence Chun Ting remembered, and the next moment the shock and incredulity in Xia Yun's eyes were also clearly seen.
Seeing Bai Huanru and Xia Yun and Chunting behind her, Qiu Zhi didn't know how to speak for a while, if it was when Mother Qian was there in the past, Qiu Zhi could have mentioned this matter to Mother Qian, and Mother Qian naturally had a way to mention it to Bai Huanru without a trace; If Huanqing Huanpei is still there, she can also talk to them at night and discuss how to make Bai Huanru less worried.
But at this time, only Xia Yun and Chun Ting, who were about the same age as her, were there, and Qiu Zhi's mouth opened and closed, but she never spit out half a word.
Bai Huanru stretched out her hand to take the fan from Chunting's hand, and simply fanned it herself, seeing Qiu Zhi's appearance, she couldn't help but urge: "What news have you found again?" You weren't the most active in the past, why don't you speak up today? ”
Qiu Zhi looked around, and saw that the place Bai Huanru chose was excellent, not to mention the scenery in the courtyard, and it was extremely quiet, and there was not even a sweeping maid around, so he opened his mouth ruthlessly: "Girl, now it has spread all over the capital, saying that the girl is secretly and secretly with Su Ge Lao's eldest grandson regardless of the marriage contract, secretly, mutual affection, the girl went to Hanshui Temple a few days ago and met the gangster, who was the girl saved by Su Gongzi." The slave maid heard that she heard that the Dyeing Wind Pavilion had written this into a book, and now it is selling just right......
The fan in Bai Huanru's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and the camellia on the fan surface was instantly stained with dust, and the sound of Qiu Zhi became smaller and smaller, and it was almost inaudible in the end.
Chun Ting's head, which was standing behind Bai Huanru, was even more buzzing, almost bursting. It is true that he met the gangsters in Hanshui Temple that day, and it is not true that it was Su Hanran who saved Bai Huanru, but who can know what happened that day? There is also a Luo Yu ...... Could it be that Luo Yu couldn't spread the word about it?
If she had known that such a thing would happen, where would Chunting provoke Luo Yu, it would be to ask her to kneel down and kowtow to recognize Luo Yu as an ancestor, and she would have made it!
How important is the name of the daughter's family, not to mention that Bai Huanru is still a few months away from getting married, and there is Mrs. Han present at Hanshui Temple, if this matter is implemented on Bai Huanru's head, it will be worth it!
Bai Huanru thought deeper, this will even spread the book, then this rumor will not be able to spread for only a day or two, I am afraid that after returning from the Hanshui Temple, someone will deliberately spread the rumor. This person will not be Su Hanran, if Su Hanran does this, I am afraid that Su Ge Lao can break half of his legs, and it is unlikely that it will be Luo Yu, she and Luo Yu have no grievances, and there is no intersection in the future, not to mention that although this Luo Xiaohou has a bad reputation outside, I have never heard of him doing anything hurtful.
Bai Huanru thought about this for a long time, and glanced at Chunting, but saw that Chunting was almost fainting. Bai Huanru knew why Chunting was so shocked, so she sent her back to rest, leaving Qiu Zhi to ask about some side matters.
How dare Chunting go at this time, I am afraid that if I leave on the front foot, there will be something earth-shattering on the back foot, and she has been frightened this time, and it will not prevent her from coming a second time.
The wind and rain are coming, and Mu Yuanju's girl is now feeling like this, especially the two Spring Court and Winter Cocoon, her heart is like the wound on Bai Huanru's neck, and she feels like it will tear open when she moves slightly, and the pain makes people want to go crazy.
The rumors outside are full of tricks, and Qiu Zhi even received two books at a high price, and after reading them, he was so angry that he tore the book to pieces, and he couldn't wait to eat the person who wrote the book alive.
"Spring Girl, we have known each other for so many years, what happened to you and the girl in the days when you went to Hanshui Temple? Now that there is a lot of buzz outside, how can I know which sentence is true and which is false, is it so difficult for you to say a few more words to me? Qiu Zhi grabbed Chunting's shoulder, eager to shake her brain out to see what was inside.
Naturally it is difficult, what happened that night is not to mention the autumn branches, even the winter cocoon she didn't reveal half a word, if it can rot in the stomach is the best, but this matter has been spread, although it has been exaggerated a lot, but in the end there is a bit of truth in it.
After only three days of silence, there was news from the side, Bai Yi called Bai Huanru to go to the outer study, and Chen called Chunting and Winter Cocoon to go to Tangxiang Courtyard.
Chunting was apprehensive, she didn't know how to explain to Chen what happened that night, if Chen interrogated, how should she answer? Why did Bai Huanru go out in the middle of the night? She didn't know; Where did those men who pretended to be monks come from? She didn't know. The events of that night were like one mystery after another, and Chunting couldn't figure out the truth, maybe only Bai Huanru in the middle of the mystery could know a thing or two.
I just entered the flower hall, and before I could salute the spring court, I heard Chen say, "Don't kneel down yet!" ”
Chun Ting's legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, and Winter Cocoon was a little helpless when he saw it, but he also knelt down. Chunting had never seen Chen's anger, and he had the impression that Chen's was gentle and polite to everyone, and he had never been so angry as he was today, not to mention that this fire was still coming towards her, and Chunting couldn't help but feel even more panicked.
Winter Cocoon is a little calmer than Spring Garden, if it was in Mu Yuanju, she might have to pull this girl's ears and scold a few words before she was angry!
Based on Winter Cocoon's understanding of the Spring Court, it is absolutely impossible to say that the Spring Court does not know half of this matter, but it must not know much. But Chunting's kneeling is a bad thing, if she doesn't have a weak heart, what is she doing kneeling down so urgently?
Chen looked at Chunting who was kneeling on the ground, she remembered this girl, and she was the one who followed Bai Huanru that day. If she remembers correctly, Sister Ru also told her that this girl was injured, and now it seems that what this girl was injured is still to be explored.
The tea cup in Chen's hand was still steaming, and it was pressed against her face, making it difficult to understand her expression.
Chen didn't speak, and Chun Ting became more and more panicked, and cold sweat trickled down her back, making her feel sticky and tight. The Chen family never told them to get up, and they had to kneel as subordinates, who dared to refute the housewife, it was crazy.
Seeming to feel tired, Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Chunting for a long time before slowly asking, "Let's talk about it, what happened that night." ”
Chun Ting lowered her head, not even daring to look directly at Chen, "That night the girl said that she couldn't sleep, so the slave maid went to the backyard with the girl. The girl saw that the peach blossoms in the backyard were blooming well, so she stayed for a while, but she didn't expect to be looking for the girl when she returned to the wing, but the girl was taken aback, and I don't know why, but the ladies were alarmed, and the girl was very unhappy to go back. ”
The words were not leaky, and for a while, Chen couldn't find anything wrong. But Chen was angry when he heard this, and the tea cup in his hand fell directly to Chun Ting's feet, "If nothing happens, then you tell me where the rumors outside came from!" ”
The porcelain pieces splashed up from the ground and crossed over Chunting's hand, Chunting was in pain, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only reply with his neck stiffened: "Madam asked the slave like this, and the slave didn't know how to reply." The villain outside wants to smear the girl's reputation, but what kind of person the girl is, isn't it clear what kind of lady the lady is? Could it be that Madame did not trust the girl so much, would she believe that the girl would do such a thing? ”
Chunting said this to be regarded as the following crime, but the more Chunting said it, the more confident she became, this matter was not her girl's fault, why did they all slander her girl like this?
Chen's hands were shaking with anger, that was her daughter, her only daughter! Isn't she distressed when something like this happens?
"Yes, what a faithful maid! Drag her down and lock her up for me! ”
Chen gave the order, and two stout mothers-in-law stepped forward to take Chunting out, Chunting did not resist at first, and when he went out, he broke free from the hands of the two mothers-in-law, "I will go by myself, and I don't bother the two mothers." ”
Chunting walked into the firewood room under the guard of these two mothers-in-law, watching the wooden door in front of him slowly close, Chunting wanted to cry uncontrollably, but when he thought that Bai Huanru was still in dire straits, Chunting had to cheer up.
But this time, I'm afraid that Bai Huanru won't be able to protect her, and if the master does something wrong, he will have to be a subordinate to stand up and take the blame, and this time she failed to protect her girl, and she deserved to be punished.
It's rare that Chunting is willing to use his brain to think about it a little deeper, now that Bai Huanru's reputation has been damaged, how should the marriage with the Han family be calculated?
Although the marriage with the Han family has been decided a long time ago, after all, there are still a few months before the marriage will be married, who knows if the Han family will regret the marriage, not to mention that this matter is a loss of Bai Huanru's reputation, and the Han family is also reasonable to come to withdraw from the marriage, and it is not her girl who suffers in the end.
Chunting was so anxious that he didn't have the calmness that he had just walked into the firewood room, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Bai Huanru's side immediately. Besides, there is an unknown winter cocoon being detained in Tangxiangyuan, and I don't know if the winter cocoon can react, what if there is any difference between the two of them? And Bai Huanru, how can she tell Bai Yi? Will she tell her father about it as it is?
