Sure enough, as soon as the New Year's holiday passed, rumors gradually spread.

I don't know where the rumors came from, and it began to say that the Wushuang County Lord of the Xiaoyao Mansion had been missing for a few days, and although he had returned, something had happened. Gradually, there were more people talking about it, and it was rumored that the county lord of Wushuang and a certain little white face made a private agreement for life, because the family did not allow it, and they both eloped.

Later, the rumors became more and more unpleasant, and even secretly eating the forbidden fruit, and the secret knot of the pearl fetus came out. In the past few days, there have also been a lot of questions in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and the Xiaoyao Hou personally asked, Ji Hongbo had no choice but to tell the truth.

But Ji Wushuang didn't elaborate on it after he went back, Wen felt sorry for her and was frightened, and he didn't want to mention it again. So much so that Ji Wushuang disappeared for a few days, and no one knew what happened at all, only Ji Wushuang knew it in his heart.

The second and third rooms took the opportunity to make trouble, saying that Ji Hongbo didn't even raise his daughter well, and he lost the face of the Marquis of Xiaoyao. Zhang and Mengshi also sued the Marquis of Xiaoyao, saying that the rumors of the county lord outside had affected the reputation of the Hou Mansion and made the Hou Ye correct the family rules.

Wen listened to the rumors, although Xiaoyao Hou had not yet expressed her position, she was already panicking.

Originally, he had just recovered from his illness, but now that he was angry, Wen was bedridden again, Ji Wushuang felt that he had already affected Xia Jinse, where was he embarrassed to invite her to see his mother? I only went outside to find a doctor, but Wen didn't get better after a few days.

It just so happened that Lin Qianye heard about this, went to the Hou Mansion to see Ji Wushuang, and vaguely knew a little, but Ji Wushuang was wronged, and as soon as he got out of the Hou Mansion, he turned his head and went straight to the Jin Palace, and told Xia Jinse.

"Jinse, you don't know, their family has a terrible rumor. ridiculed Wushuang in front of me and was shameless, where is this to maintain the reputation of the Hou Mansion? It's clear that it's going to ruin Wushuang! Lin Qianyi can't change it until now, and still calls Xia Jinse's maiden name, Xia Jinse doesn't care about this, and likes her to call her by her name.

I thought I could hide it, but I didn't expect it to be so big, and Xia Jinse felt uncomfortable when she heard it.

Ji Wushuang's family is mild-tempered, and now the rumors are so ugly, most of them are related to the second and third rooms. The last time she went, she felt that Zhang and Montessori had a heart, and sure enough, something happened.

Lin Qian was also anxious and helpless: "I'm also angry, she won't tell us about such a big thing." If I hadn't heard about it and went to see her, I don't know how long I would have kept it hidden. ”

This matter is really tricky, it is related to Ji Wushuang's reputation, if it is really known that Ji Wushuang was taken away, he has been locked up in the same room with Ji Xiao for the past few days, I am afraid that things will make a big fuss.

The two decided to go to see Ji Wushuang, and by the way, they would see Wen's doctor and see if there was a solution.

The arrival of the two finally made Ji Wushuang smile a little, and as soon as he invited the two of them to sit down and retreated, Lin Qianyi complained: "Wushuang, do you still think we are friends?" What happened, you don't say, now I called Jinse too, do you still want to hide it? ”

Ji Wushuang looked at Xia Jinse, a little surprised: "You haven't told her yet?" ”

Xia Jinse patted her hands and comforted: "You didn't say it, how could I say it, isn't this just to ask you, what do you think, don't let Qianyi worry." ”

Listening to the words of the two, Lin Qian was also a little stupid, and said half-loudly: "It's been a long time, Jin Se, do you know?" ”

Xia Jinse smiled apologetically: "It's not that I won't tell you, after all, it is related to the name of Wushuang, if she doesn't say it, I can't reveal it." ”

Lin Qianyi didn't blame this, but he was angry that they didn't say it, maybe everyone thought earlier, and things wouldn't be like this.

"If I hadn't been gullible at the beginning, if I was more careful, how could this kind of thing affect him? If I admit it now, I'm sure my grandfather will go to him to settle the score. Although I know that a woman's name is very important, but he almost died for me, how can I tell him and bear this injustice for me? ”

"Alas, I knew it was like this, Wushuang, you just think too much about others." Xia Jinse was also helpless, Ji Wushuang was reluctant to say, he was also afraid of implicating Ji Xiao, although it was excusable, the two were also victims, but after all, it was also a fact that the two were in the same room.

Lin Qian also seemed to understand it, but he also roughly knew that Ji Wushuang was indeed with a man these days.

But she believed that Ji Wushuang had a reason, and she believed in her character even more, and only thought about how to solve this matter.

According to Daqing's etiquette, unless it is a husband and wife, it must be an unmarried couple, otherwise men and women spend the night in the same room, which will damage the woman's name. This kind of thing occasionally happens among the people, and the consistent way to deal with it is to let the woman hang and send it to be a sister-in-law. chaos, and be immersed in the pig cage.

Ji Wushuang and Ji Xiao are like this, unless they can get married, but the two families are not right, and the Hou Mansion will definitely not be willing. And if Ji Xiao is allowed to marry Ji Wushuang because of this, he may not be happy, obviously he is saving people, but he has a bad reputation in vain, and he has wronged him.

Ji Wushuang sighed: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, when the limelight fades after a while, it will be fine." ”

Seeing her like this, Xia Jinse and Lin Qianyi didn't know how to persuade her, so they could only go to see Wen's condition first.

Wen's family doesn't think about tea and dinner these days, and can't sleep at night, Ji Zimo was serving her decoction, and when he saw Xia Jinse coming, he hurriedly got out of the way. Xia Jinse examined Wen's family, and there was indeed no illness in her body, so she could only ask her not to think so much, to clear herself, and not to gossip about unexpected people.

But Wen didn't seem to listen, only sighed, Xia Jinse knew that if the matter was not resolved, Wen's condition would not be better. After thinking about it, I could only leave her some sleeping pills, and then prescribe some to regulate her appetite, and told Ji Zimo how to take it, so that Wen's could eat and sleep, and don't burn her body.

"Yes, I wrote it down, thank you, Princess." Ji Zimo said politely.

Ji Hongbo also came, thanking Xia Jinse for another trip, Xia Jinse suddenly remembered something, and asked him: "Shizi, I want to ask, is there a will in the palace these days to let Shizi be promoted, or praise and reward or something?" ”

Emperor Yuanqing said before that if Ji Wushuang's grievances were converted into rewards from his parents, it stands to reason that the benefits should fall on Ji Hongbo and his wife. But if the emperor has a will, why are the people in the Hou Mansion still disrespectful to him so much?

Is it more jealous?

Who knows, Ji Hongbo was surprised: "For no reason, how can there be a reward in the palace?" Did the princess hear something wrong? ”

"Oh, perhaps." Xia Jinse didn't say it, but he wondered in his heart.

These days, hasn't the emperor's promise been fulfilled?

After seeing Wen's doctor, Xia Jinse and Lin Qian were about to leave, Ji Zimo was about to send the two out, and two more people came to meet him.

Zhang and Montessori are still together, like conjoined babies, inseparable wherever they go.

Seeing that Xia Jinse was also there, the two immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that the princess is also here, it just so happens that we came to discuss something with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, if the princess is free, you might as well stay and listen, and help Wushuang get an idea." ”

Seeing that these two people had bad intentions, Xia Jinse and Lin Qian also left in a panic.

Zhang and Montessori entered the house and saluted Ji Hongbo first, but they also pretended to be very polite. Seeing that the two of them were coming, Wen struggled to get up, or Ji Hongbo asked her to lean on, anyway, the family doesn't need to talk about so many rules.

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't be polite, we also have good news for you to discuss."

Zhang's round face, smiling like a flower, wearing a green chrysanthemum brocade skirt with foundation embroidered with gold thread, looking particularly rich. A hibiscus flower made of gold pieces was inserted in her sideburns, and a jade bracelet on her wrist revealed her bearing as the grandmother of the second room of the Hou Mansion to the fullest.

"I won't beat around the bush, it's all family. Recently, rumors about Wushuang have been boiling, and even the reputation of the Hou Mansion has been tarnished. Originally, this thing was incomparable, but she was young and ignorant after all......"

Before Zhang's words were finished, Wen hurriedly distinguished: "Second brother and sister, Wushuang is innocent, she didn't do such a thing!" ”

"Yes, we all believe in Wushuang, but outsiders can't help it if they don't believe it."

Zhang said casually and continued: "But sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, there are still people who don't mind after all." Yang Degui, the owner of Tongbao Qianzhuang, and his second son, Yang Shaohu, are twenty-two this year, and they are a talent, and they are matched with Wushuang. Boss Yang fell in love with Wushuang's daughter-in-law, let's propose marriage, big brother and sister-in-law, you can see ......"

"Enough, don't say it, it's impossible!" When Ji Hongbo heard what was going on, his angry face was gloomy, and he immediately refused.

Ji Wushuang's eyes were even darker, and he almost fell, but fortunately, Lin Qianyi was next to him, and he hurriedly helped her to stand firm.

When the two saw Ji Hongbo's refusal, they were immediately upset, and finally Montessori said patiently: "Big brother, we haven't finished talking yet!" Boss Yang said that as long as the eldest brother and sister-in-law agreed, he was willing to pay a dowry of 3 million, and then give a set of five-in, five-out houses, and five shops......"

Ji Hongbo angrily drove people away: "Enough, needless to say, I don't have the ability anymore, and I won't sell my daughter!" You go, don't say this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face! ”

Zhang's face changed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Big brother, we obviously have good intentions to introduce this family business to Wushuang." Do you think Wushuang is still the former county lord? Now what's going on out there! ”

Montessori said bitterly: "That's it! Privately decided to elope for life, maybe she was pregnant with a wild seed, which affected the reputation of our Hou Mansion, didn't you think that our daughter was not married yet? ”

"Say no more, get out!" On the bed, Wen screamed and covered his head with excitement.

"Mother, calm down, don't be angry with yourself!" Ji Wushuang was frightened and hurriedly went over to comfort the Wen family.

Ji Zimo's angry face flushed, and he endured his temper and said, "Two uncles, please, my mother still has to rest." ”

Zhang sneered: "Good intentions are not rewarded, if it weren't for your sister doing this kind of ugly thing that can't see the light and affect the whole house, would we be so worried and anxious to help you remedy it?" Wushuang, you don't want to be yourself, you also have to think about your parents and us. ”

No matter how good Ji Hongbo's temper is, he is also turned blue by the anger of the two: "Come on, send off guests!" ”

Seeing what they were going to say, Xia Jinse's eyes were cold, and he stood in front of the two and said: "The two ladies are talking so much nonsense, whether they can't stop their tongues or can't close their mouths, this princess just brought a needle and thread, and she can help you sew it up!" ”

Listening to Xia Jinse's cold words, and then remembering her identity, Montessori and Zhang finally shut up and walked away.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy, Ji Wushuang barely squeezed out a little smile, comforting Wen's nothing, Wen's weeping, but he also felt sorry for his daughter, and tears flowed.

Ji Hongbo sighed, and he didn't know what to say: "I'm sorry, let the princess laugh." ”

The Ji family made such a fuss, and Xia Jinse and Lin Qianyi didn't have much to stay, so they quickly left.

Out of the Hou Mansion, Lin Qian also said worriedly: "Jin Se, although it is difficult for us to interfere in the affairs of the Wushuang family, since you know the inside story, I also hope that you can help her find a way." If this continues, I'm afraid that Wushuang won't be able to bear it. ”

"I know, don't worry, I'll figure it out." Xia Jinse was thinking, should she go to Ji Xiao to discuss? Also, the emperor said the benefits for Ji Wushuang's parents, why didn't there follow?
