Chapter 296: Rumors
() Qin Niang hasn't made a move, but the Lu family can't bear it anymore, it has been less than half a year since one of her good daughters was married, and these individuals have repeatedly spread rumors, if their Yang family climbs each other, it will be forgotten, but Gu Chen has no fame in the end, so he is always so ruined, how can she bear it?
"Shut up!" Lu suddenly shouted.
The crowd was suddenly silenced!
Then he turned his head in unison, looked at the mother and daughter of the Yang family, and suddenly turned pale.
They chatted very much just now, but they didn't notice that someone came in this courtyard at all, but they didn't expect to be listened to by the parties concerned, and now, they are afraid that they will be killed......
A layer of cold sweat instantly slipped down the foreheads of several people, and then they knelt on the ground in unison, crying and begging with sad faces: "Please Mrs. and Miss starve~"
Lu Shi was furious, glared at the few people kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did you listen to?" If you ruin my daughter's reputation like this without any evidence, aren't you afraid that I will send you to Jingzhaoyin Mansion? ”
When several people heard this, they immediately trembled, shrank on the ground and trembled slightly, and began to beg for mercy.
"Mrs. Yang spares her life, the little ones also listened to others, that person said that he heard about it from Cheng'an Houfu, and he saw it with his own eyes, and now it is spread everywhere in the capital, and it is not a small person who said this, please Mrs. Yang spare the little one this time."
"Yes, Mrs. Yang, a few of us just gossip a few words out of pure curiosity, and we don't mean anything else, and we also heard those things."
As they spoke, they kowtowed to the ground one after another, knocking louder than the other, for fear that if the knock was light, they would be dragged down to extinguish their mouths.
Qin Niang stared at the few people kneeling on the ground calmly, found a stone bench and sat down, and said slowly: "You say, it came from Cheng'an Houfu?" ”
The few people looked at each other, and the person who started to speak nodded vigorously: "Yes, the person who told me said that someone in Cheng'an Houfu saw it with his own eyes, and he was afraid that he would be killed, so it came out." ”
Now that everyone knows, they will not extinguish only one person's mouth.
That's a good idea.
But it's also a stupid idea!
Qin Niang hooked the corners of her lips and looked at the person with a smile: "However, on that day in Cheng'an Houfu, there will be no more than three people who know about this matter, and the rest are the masters of Houfu, I believe that they themselves will not spread the word, so who did you listen to that person?" ”
That day, except for the people of the Mu family, no one knew the inside story at all, even if they first saw the appearance of the killing class master, only the two personal maids of the two Mu Zhinian sisters saw it, and after that, even the two maids were separated.
She believes that the subordinates who can follow the two young ladies of the Mu family are trustworthy, and they will not do anything to sell the lord, let alone spread rumors.
So, how do these individuals know?
"The little one doesn't know, Miss Yang, what the old Wang who sells baked cakes in the alley said, you can ask him, he said that he has a nose and eyes, and the small one only knows when he goes to buy baked cakes and listens to it." The man said with a shudder.
Qin Niang stared at those people with heavy eyebrows, and didn't speak, Lu was so angry that his nose was about to smoke: "I asked you to come to work, not to chew the root of your tongue, since you don't know, you just said that."
Be energetic, do you know that rumors can also be sent to the official? ”
When those people heard this, their faces suddenly turned a little paler.
They are all ordinary people who do their duty, how can they know so much? It's just a quick mouth, just talking and playing in your spare time, where do you think so much?
At this moment, when they heard that they were going to be sent to the official, several people were so frightened that their faces were pale, and they almost didn't break their heads.
"Madame spare her life, the little one will never dare again!"
Lu Shi's face was blue, if his eyes could kill, then these people kneeling on the ground would have been Ling Chi a long time ago.
Qin Niang rubbed the bracelet on her wrist, thoughtful.
The mother and daughter didn't speak, and those people could only keep kowtowing, and in just a few breaths, they were about to knock a hole out of the ground, and blood was oozing from their heads, mixed with sweat, and they soon had a confused face, which looked terrifying.
"Alright, get out! Don't come to our Yang Mansion again in the future. Lu looked upset and waved his hand away.
When a few people heard this, they thanked them again and again, and then ran away with their belts, not daring to mention the matter of wages.
I'm afraid that if I say more, I will really send them to the government when I turn around.
Compared to being sent to the official, silver is nothing.
However, the Yang family is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private, and when they went out, the Lu family still asked them to pay their wages, so as not to go out and talk about it in the future, saying that their Yang family owes wages and does not pay.
After those people were sent away, Qin Niang took Lu's arm and comforted: "Okay, mother, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with those people." ”
How could Lu not be angry? It's been less than half a year since the good daughter got married, how many times have this rumor been spread?
This is thanks to the fact that she is not married to an official eunuch, if this is, it must not affect her career or be impeached in front of the saint by those old guys from Yushitai?
"What the hell is going on? Why did the third lady of the Mu family get involved with you again? There was no one at this time, so Lu pulled Qin Niang and asked.
There must be a reason for this rumor, and it can't be spread like this for no reason, right?
What those people said may be different from the facts, but at the beginning of the rumors, it must be half-truths and half-truths, the fact that the troupe died in a drama must be true, and Miss Mu San must be true when she was sent away, but the truth in it, those individuals who don't know it will be false.
"Mother, this matter is the Mu family's selfishness, I shouldn't have said nonsense, but now that the facts have been spread like this, I'm afraid I have to go to Cheng'an Houfu to discuss this matter, and I'll tell you in detail." Qin Niang didn't have time to explain more, she didn't go out for a few days, and she didn't know that it had become like this on the street.
Qiu Xue was surprised when she heard about this: "Miss, I walk outside every day, and I haven't heard of this thing yesterday!" ”
Qin Niang's eyebrows sank, it hadn't been spread yesterday, so it was spread like this overnight.
"You quickly go outside and inquire about it, and see if it is like this in the capital." Qin Niang said in a deep voice.
Qiu Xue answered and went out quickly.
Qiu Tao accompanied Qin Niang into the carriage and drove quickly towards Cheng'an Houfu.
"Miss, if you want to correct your name, you have to ask Cheng'an Houfu to come out and say a fair word, but this matter involves the private interests of Cheng'an Houfu, if they announce the truth
If it comes out, it will affect the reputation of their Houfu, if it is not announced, then the matter will be allowed to pass on like this, and it will ruin the reputation of the young lady, you say, this is not good. Qiu Tao thought for a while, "Whether I ruin the reputation of the young lady or the reputation of the Cheng'an Houfu, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the eldest prince and the Yang family." ”
The two are now one, and it is obvious that they will move together.
"How could the rumor-monger not know the point? That's why it's like this. Qin Niang tugged at the corners of her lips, "The people who spread rumors behind the scenes are really a good means, and they will ruin the relationship between the Mu Yang family left and right." ”
Qiu Tao looked at her young lady who was still calm and relaxed, and thought with a little worry in her heart, what if the Mu family chose to wronged her own young lady in order to protect her reputation?
A prestigious Houfu, an insignificant merchant woman, the gains and losses are so obvious, this changes everyone knows how to choose.
"What are you anxious about? After Qiuxue comes back, we will ask the Mu family how to deal with it, and it is not too late to make the next step. Qin Niang knew what she was thinking when she looked at her speechless appearance, and suddenly couldn't help but reach out and pinch her bulging cheeks, "I believe that the Mu family is not that kind of person." ”
That is the in-law she personally picked for the Yang family, but she can't be so morally low.
If that's the case, then while Mu Zhinian hasn't passed the door yet, he will immediately destroy the marriage.
The Mu family can give up her today, and he can give up the Yang family in the future, so what else can the Yang family hope for in the future?
"Since the young lady said so, then the slave also believes it." Qiu Tao said, her eyes blooming with a determined light.
While the master and servant were talking, Cheng'an Houfu had arrived.
The porter saw that he naturally recognized Qiu Tao, so he immediately sent someone to report it.
After a while, Mu Zhinian personally came to the Yimen to welcome Qinniang, and called affectionately: "Qin'er, are you in such a hurry, is there anything urgent?" ”
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here without saying hello in advance.
Qin Niang has always been a person who knows etiquette, and she will never do this kind of thing to come to the door without saying hello, thinking that there must be something urgent.
"Is your father and mother here? I do have something to consult with them. Qin Niang got out of the carriage and didn't talk to her politely, and directly said her intentions, "If your Mu family is not a spies, then someone has calculated it, this matter can be big or small, and they need to preside over it in person." ”
Mu Zhinian has been bored at home these days preparing for marriage, and she naturally doesn't know about the outside things, so when she heard that there was a spy in the house, her heart suddenly sank, and her face immediately showed a touch of solemnity, and she didn't dare to delay more, so she led Qin Niang to the main courtyard.
"My father went to the palace, I think he will be back soon, you go into the courtyard and talk to my mother slowly." Mu Zhinian led the way, and glanced at Qin Niang's side as he led, "What about the girl next to you who knows martial arts?" ”
Qin Niang has always liked to take Qiu Xue and Qiu Tao with her when she goes out, but now there is only one Qiu Tao, she suddenly felt that the matter might be much more serious than she imagined, and her heart suddenly lifted.
"She will come over in a while, and Qiu Tao and I will come over to remind you first, so that you won't be confused after listening to it for a while." Qin Niang glanced around, there were many people, and it was inconvenient to say anything.
Mu Zhinian didn't ask too much, and sent someone to invite Mrs. Mu.
