Chapter 56: Rumors
Listening to the news that Cheng Siyi brought back from outside that had been rumored, Cheng Xiangjin's mood was inexplicably a little irritable.
I really don't know how that Du Guogong raised his daughter! He has developed such a selfish and vicious character!
There are also those idlers and long-tongued women in the streets and alleys, and they don't know who instigated them, but they actually sympathized with Du Meifang and Wei Ke, but they pity that they can't become dependents if they have lovers, and they pass her on as a vixen who specializes in robbing other people's sweethearts!
As soon as he thought of being distorted into that way, Cheng Xiangjin was unhappy!
Even if there was no matter of Wei Ke and Du Meifang, Cheng Xiangjin never thought of marrying into the Wei family. What's more, after coming to Chang'an, I witnessed the two of them visiting jewelry shops together. Even if the two of them broke up later, her impression of Wei Ke had no room for change.
It can be said that she never had half an idea about Wei Ke.
Now, being passed on by someone with a heart, who would have thought that it would become like this?
It was only a few days after the case was closed, and people who were keen on gossip forgot that the original cause of the case was Du Meifang's poisoning.
The Cheng family, who was originally a bitter master, has now become the target of insults by some people.
Everyone knows that rumors are not credible, but when they do spread, they often enjoy it!
That's the humanity of most people!
Cheng Xiangjin, who did not go out of the door and did not step out of the second door, suddenly deeply realized what a real human being is terrifying!
Mrs. Cheng is in good health, and no one dares to tell her these bad things. Mrs. Cheng even hid this matter to the death.
Since this incident, there have been fewer cases in Jingzhao Yamen. Cheng Fuyin and his wife went to the old lady's courtyard every day to talk and chat with the old lady.
Cheng Chuyang was reading in his yard.
Xiao Yu'er, Qiaohui, Qiaoyan and others looked at Cheng Xiangjin sullenly, and they all complained on the side.
"In my opinion, the eight achievements of this rumor-monger were instigated by people sent by Du Fu. Who is Du Fu? That's the Prince's Mansion! Before this case, how majestic the sons and girls of Du Guogong's Mansion were! What's more, there is also a princess Anping in the younger generation. The status of the daughters of the Du family is even higher and more noble. When has there ever been such a scandal? Now, in order to divert people's attention, they deliberately exaggerate the friendship between Du Meifang and Wei Ke and scandalize the reputation of our girl. In my opinion, they are clearly venting their personal anger by doing this! ”
Qiao Yan disagreed with Xiao Yu'er's words, "This Du Mansion is a public family, and such despicable and obscene tricks don't seem to have come from their mansion." You think, this Du Er girl is the descendant of Du Guogong and the sister-in-law of Princess Anping. Now that he has been sentenced to life imprisonment, he has been thrown into his grandmother's house for all his shame, and what face is there to sell miserably? What's more, the matter between Du Meifang and Wei Ke sounds like a pity, but don't forget, the two of them don't have a marriage contract, and they have such an affair without a marriage contract, how can it be a scandal, how can they deliberately bring it out for people to talk about? Du Meifang is already miserable in prison alone, can her family still bear to let outsiders chew her tongue wantonly? ”
Qiaoyu nodded, "Yes, my own daughters are in prison, and normal people will shrink their necks to be people, not to mention the strict rules of the Guogong Mansion." There seems to be some truth to what you say! ”
Qiao Ling frowned, "Then if it's not the Guogong Mansion, who else can it be?" Could it be the Wei family? Could it be that Wei Shilang felt that he had been stripped of his power and punished for framing us, so he instigated someone to deliberately slander our girl, so that our Cheng family would not have a good time? ”
When everyone heard this, the situation was so complicated, and they immediately looked at Qiaohui.
Qiaohui has the most calm temperament among several maids, and she is also fair, so whenever there is a problem that is difficult to solve, several other people will take the lead in finding her to find a way.
But at the moment, even Qiaohui is stumped by this problem.
"I don't think it's very likely that the Wei family is either. You see, on the surface, these rumors seem to be using the matter of Du Meifang and Wei Ke to suppress our Cheng family. But in fact, Du, Wei, and Cheng were all pushed to the forefront, and the reputations of the three were actually greatly affected. Not only the girls of our family, but also the unmarried girls and sons of Du Mansion, and Wei Ke, the only seedling of Wei Mansion, who can be alone? No one! Therefore, it is impossible for the Du family and the Wei family, and our Cheng Mansion will not be able to. The biggest possibility is that someone else is fanning the flames behind the scenes, so that the three Du Weicheng families have a grudge, and the deeper the knot, the more beneficial it will be to the people behind it! ”
When Xiao Yu'er heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, "Isn't that afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" What a vicious intention! ”
"Yes! Who is so vicious? It's so damning! ”
"It can't be that the three families have offended someone together, right? Who is so powerful and so vicious? ”
Cheng Xiangjin was originally listening to a few girls chattering and was a little bored, but when she listened to it, she was unconsciously brought into the situation.
Yes, why didn't she think about it before, what is the identity of the person behind this rumor? What was his real purpose in doing this? Is it really as Qiaohui said, just want Du Wei Cheng and the three families to have a grudge?
After the poisoning case, the friendship between these three families is already difficult to reconcile, who wants to add another fire to the world for fear that the world will not be chaotic?
Cheng Xiangjin was puzzled!
After dinner, Mrs. Cheng waited for the old lady to sleep, and specially came to Yulan Courtyard to talk to Cheng Xiangjin. Seeing her wilting expression, my heart felt distressed.
"Jin'er, I discussed with your father, the rumors in the city have been spreading a lot recently, why don't you ask your brother to send you back to Meixian County to live for a while, and when the limelight passes, your mother will let someone pick you up."
Cheng Xiangjin shook his head, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." It's just some malicious rumors, and ignoring it quickly passed. What's more, my grandmother also came to Chang'an, and it didn't make sense for me to go back to Meixian alone. Let's just stay here and be with the whole family! ”
Mrs. Cheng was reluctant to let her go to Meixian alone, it was just an expedient measure, and when she saw that she didn't want to leave, she agreed.
"In a few months, it will be the Winter Festival, and it will be time for our family to worship our ancestors together, if you don't go back, you won't go back! The weather is getting colder and colder during this time, so you can stay in the house, it's really boring, so let the two sisters of the Gan family teach you some fists and feet, just to strengthen your body! ”
Cheng Xiangjin smiled, "I know my mother." Don't worry, with the Gan sisters and Xiao Yu'er, Qiaohui and others with me, how can I be bored? I won't pay attention to the outside affairs, let him go, there are so many big things happening in Chang'an City every day, and it won't take a few days for this little rumor to fade. Nothing! ”
Mrs. Cheng saw that she didn't seem to be a lie, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this way, my mother is relieved!"
