Qian Yueji sighed.

Also, these filthy gossips probably didn't spread to the palace.

Qian Yueji glanced at Su Su helplessly, hoping that the rumors outside were just rumors, she waved her hand to the maid on the side, and the maid understood, and immediately took out a calligraphy and painting and handed it to Qian Yueji.

Qian Yueji unfolded it to Su Su, "Look, does this painting look familiar?" Now this painting is everywhere in the streets and alleys. ”

Su Su stretched out her hand to take it, it was the portrait that Ji Xinwen painted for her two months ago, and she kept the portrait he painted for her, how could it be circulated?

However, this portrait is obviously not original, it is imitated, and the figure painting skills look obviously much clumsy, but it can be seen that the character in it is Su Su.

Su Su frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Qiu Xue with a serious face, "You go to the warm pavilion to take a look and see if this painting is still there?" ”

Qiu Xue nodded, turned around and immediately went to look for a painting.

Qian Yueji thought that the rumors outside were deliberately fabricated and framed by well-intentioned people, but she didn't expect that someone really gave her a portrait of her daughter, which was a private gift!

The anger in her heart grew, and her face immediately became unsightly.

"Crispy, what's going on? Who painted this portrait of you? Who gave it to you? How can you casually accept something from a foreign man, you are giving it privately! Do you know what the outside is saying about you now? She said in a slightly cold voice.

Su Su was startled, and was frightened by Qian Yueji's voice, this was the first time that Qian Yueji had been so majestic and cold to her.

"Mother, what's going on? My daughter didn't give it to her husband privately, and this painting was a reward for thanking me for saving my mother. Su Su explained.

She knows that the ancient etiquette is strict, and men and women are guarded, but she has been in Dajing for so long, and she has felt it, and the communication between men and women is not too rigid about etiquette!

The ladies and young masters of the aristocratic families meet together to play.

However, a man painting a portrait of a woman alone is too unruly, and it will be criticized if someone knows about it, but if she honestly abides by the female precepts, then she doesn't have to be sultry, and she doesn't have to brush up on favorability.

"Humph! Now there are poetry and genius girls outside, the eldest lady of the Su family does not abide by the virtues of the girl, and the poor and prodigal scholar of the foreign man is privately taught and received, and the secret song is said, saying that you and the scholar have a private life, and you are a prodigal... A woman without virtue ......"

Qian Yueji was a little hated when she said this, "Su'er, you tell your mother, are you really in love with a foreign man in private?" ”

Su Su raised his eyebrows, his expression pretended to be grim, but in fact, there was no wave in his heart, and he replied very seriously, "Mother, how could my daughter do such a thing that violates etiquette, someone must have wanted to ruin her daughter's reputation and deliberately spread rumors." ”

She wants to make a love affair with others, but they may not be willing to do so!

Qian Yueji was suspicious, she was afraid that Su Su would be the same as Su Huan'er, and she would make a love affair with someone in private, and she would not talk to her if she didn't agree with the two of them being together.

"Madam, the slave maid thinks that Miss guessed right, this must be someone deliberately spreading rumors, you don't know how ugly it is to say that our young lady is talking about it, what kind of open-mindedness, not abiding by the female precepts and female virtues, and actually making a private agreement with the poor prodigal scholar for life, and said that the two must have exchanged love tokens, and they have a blind date...... How ugly it sounds! The mother-in-law beside Qian Yueji lowered her eyebrows and said a little worriedly.

At this time, Qiu Xue also came back to report to Su Su.

"Miss Hui, that portrait is not there, I don't know which thief stole it? But the slave is very tightly hidden! Not only is it locked, but it is also hidden in a secret cabinet, and this outsider has no way of knowing where it is hidden! Qiu Xue frowned, the meaning was obvious, there were ghosts in Su Su's house.

Su Su nodded, "I know, I'll find out." ”

After speaking, she looked at Qian Yueji again, "Mother, look, this is obviously someone premeditated to kill me, otherwise how could the portrait disappear for no reason, the rumors spread so quickly and viciously, and every word that passed on could make me ruined." ”

Qian Yueji had already trembled by her mother-in-law's words, "Smack! It simply doesn't make sense, what foul language is said! It's so damning! She slammed the table and stood up in a rage.

"Who is going to harm Su'er? If such rumors continue to circulate, Suer's reputation will be ruined, how will she marry in the future? ”

Qian Yueji was also very anxious in her heart, and took two steps back and forth to look at Su Su, "Su'er, you really didn't make a private relationship with anyone, right?" Who is the person who painted your portrait? How do you accept things from others casually? ”

Su Su was speechless, she was not casual, she was premeditated.

Her expression was indifferent, and her smile was as soft as ever, "Mother, would you rather believe the people outside than believe me?" Daughter, I didn't make a private relationship with others, just ordinary acquaintances, and people are not swingers, although they are poor, but they are honest and decent, talented, once won the first place in the poetry, calligraphy and painting competition, or the four princes to read, and participated in this year's imperial examination, maybe the top three will come back! ”

Su Su was saying good things for Ji Xinwen, but the more Qian Yueji listened, the more unhappy she became, and said that she didn't make a private decision, why did she defend him everywhere and thought he was good?

Qian Yueji knew that she couldn't show this kind of thing too fiercely, and the more she objected, the more Su'er might resist.

She tried her best to suppress the boiling anger in her heart, and secretly sighed, "Why don't you believe in you, I believe in you!" It's just that all these rumors are known outside, and this uninformed or ill-minded person still doesn't know how to slander you! For my mother to know that you have an idea now, what can you do now? Not only ordinary people, these rumors are the most like to say that they like to pass on the most when they have nothing to do on weekdays, and everyone knows about it, not to mention that you will talk about people in the future, even if you go out, you will be pointed at, and your reputation will be ruined! ”

Su Su didn't actually take this matter to heart, she didn't mean to marry at all, okay?

As long as the original owner's task is completed, it doesn't matter what else happens.

This kind of thing, Su Su really doesn't know how to deal with it for a while, unless it is to catch the person with bad intentions and let her clarify it in front of the world, but this is impossible.

"Mother, what can't we do now, the more we want to clarify the rumors, the more empty we become, and we want to cover it up!"

"Well, you can't let it go on like this!" Qian Yueji only stared anxiously.

Su Su knew that although Qian Yueji's tone was not good, her face was not good, but it was all because she cared about her and worried that she was in a hurry.

She poured a full cup of tea for Qian Yueji again, and raised a gentle and firm smile on her face, "Mother rest assured, my daughter will definitely find a way to solve this matter, don't be in a hurry to get on fire first, go back and rest for a night first, there is no hurry!" ”
