No one does not understand the truth of the tree, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Mingyuexi can now be said to be the most popular person in the capital, her every move is watched by many people, and the slightest mistake will be singled out.

The auction of the shop was carried out in public, and the matter was quickly spread, and the rich and powerful people who participated in the auction were very dissatisfied.

They gathered in the teahouse and couldn't help but talk about the shop.

"It's a pity, I've been looking at such a good shop for two years, and I finally waited for it to be sold, but I didn't expect to miss it like this."

"Yes, I thought there would be a fierce competition with all the old rivals and old friends here, who would have thought that it would end so hastily, if there is no black box, I don't believe it!"

A wealthy businessman stood up a little excitedly, slapped the table, and attracted everyone in the teahouse to look here: "Why did the shop go to Mingyuexi, just because she is the young lady of the Hou Mansion, or is she a little famous in this capital?" We don't do business by being famous! ”

The person next to him hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and hurriedly comforted: "Brother Li, you should be quiet, after all, our identity is not easy for us to provoke......

"I'm going to say it today, I'm going to say it fairly!" The man became even more agitated, he stood up and looked around at the people who were looking around, and said in a rough voice, "Guys, do you think this act of oppression with power is worth it?" Bringing the atmosphere of officialdom to the mall, isn't this bullying! ”

The onlookers sat in their positions and shook their heads, and those who didn't know the matter also asked the people next to them, and after a while, the whole teahouse was discussing the matter of Mingyuexi, and most of them were disdainful of each other.

"What's the use of her wanting such a good position, she's just a clothes seller, how can she steal the shop that others want without paying money?"

"Yes, how can there be such a merchant in this capital?"

"Shh......h She is not a businessman, she is the wife of a powerful family! ”

When the people around him were talking about it, no one noticed that the rich businessman who spoke "fairly" had already quietly disappeared and was no longer in this teahouse.

Discussions like this soon boiled in the capital, and many of them who had been in contact with Mingyuexi wanted to say two good words for her, but their voices were quickly drowned out.

Under the deliberate guidance of well-intentioned people, everyone's public opinion gradually became conspiratorial, and they felt that Mingyuexi took advantage of the situation to oppress people and squeeze Beijing merchants to accumulate more wealth for the Hou Mansion, and what to do with this accumulation of wealth, naturally there is no need to say much.

Almost overnight, Mingyuexi's reputation took a sharp turn for the worse, from praise and admiration to pertinence.

The next day, Gu Yanbai went to court as usual, and as soon as he walked into the main hall, many people looked at him with strange eyes, and his opponents in political affairs were gloating.

Sure enough, the emperor had just announced the opening of the dynasty, and immediately a minister stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

The emperor nodded slightly: "Present the fold." ”

After reading the excerpt of impeachment, the emperor's eyes became a little strange, he glanced at Gu Yanbai, closed the fold and put it aside.

"You want to impeach the Hou Mansion and use power to oppress people?"

"Exactly," the minister replied with confidence, "Your Majesty, everything the minister has heard and seen is written in the excerpt, and the young lady of the Hou Mansion is so domineering, which is not conducive to the city, and the emperor is asked to consider it carefully." ”

"Really?" The emperor looked at Gu Yanbai and asked lightly, waiting for his answer.

Gu Yanbai sighed in his heart and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the Hou Mansion has followed the emperor for many years, needless to say loyal, and is dedicated to assisting the emperor in governing a peaceful and prosperous world, how can he do something to disturb the capital?" Please ask the emperor to know about this matter. ”

As soon as his words fell, the ministers immediately opened their mouths to retort, and their voices were extremely fast, and their words were sharp and merciless.

"Hou Mansion naturally won't, but what about the young lady newly married by Hou Mansion? What can the woman's family know about the overall situation, I advise the little marquis to discipline more, so as not to end up with the reputation of a cholera dynasty! ”

"Okay, this matter hasn't reached such a serious point," the emperor waved his hand, he knew Gu Yanbai's character, and he didn't want him to be slandered more, and after suppressing the ministers, he looked at Gu Yanbai, his face was slightly solemn, "There is no wind and no waves, everyone is leisurely, and when you are in the court, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds, you can't always be willful, Gu Yanbai, do you understand?" ”

"I understand."

The emperor's chin tapped, and he glanced at the ministers majestically, and his tone could not be refused: "Then this matter will be handled by the little marquis himself, and all of you Aiqing can supervise it, and if there is anything unfair, talk about it." ”

Although the ministers were still unwilling, they felt the emperor's attitude towards Gu Yanbai, and if they said it, it would only anger the emperor, so they could only retreat for the time being: "The emperor is wise." ”

Mingyuexi also went out today, and she only heard about this matter from the mouths of others, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but she quickly put this matter behind her and got busy in the shop.

A burst of smoke rose, and Zhu Bajie suddenly appeared in the store, looking at Mingyuexi with a smile: "Girl, they are all talking bad about you, can you be so calm?" ”

Mingyuexi was used to him coming and going without a trace, and she wasn't so surprised, she just replied indifferently.

"It's all unwarranted, and when the heat of these rumors passes, the truth will naturally come out, so why should I worry?"

"Yes, the old pig appreciates your temperament," Zhu Bajie laughed, and then his expression suddenly became serious, "But I'm not here to joke with you today, I've been lurking in the palace for the past few days, and I've found something terrible." ”

Mingyuexi's eyes condensed slightly, and she closed the door: "You say." ”

"Xia Nanfeng is not from the queen, but a palace maid, she hopes that her child will be prosperous and rich, so she dared to drop the dead baby born by the queen at that time, and later Xia Nanfeng learned the truth and killed her biological mother by mistake......"

Hearing Xia Nanfeng's mother's murder, Mingyuexi couldn't help but shudder, she never expected Xia Nanfeng to be so mad.

"Also, I heard that there was someone behind Linlang Pavilion before, if I guessed correctly, that person should be Xia Nanfeng."

"Linlang Pavilion ......" unconsciously muttered this name that had not appeared for a long time, Mingyuexi clenched her fists, "Linlang Pavilion has always targeted me and Gu Yanbai everywhere, it turns out that this is the reason. ”

Coming out of the shock of this news, Mingyuexi felt a lot more relaxed, the enemy turned from dark to light, and they could also have a target.

She came back to her senses and bowed seriously to Zhu Bajie: "Thank you." ”

"What are you polite to my old pig, you girl, my old pig is decided."

On the roof, there was a slight sound from a tile, neither of them noticed, Zhu Bajie disappeared in place, Mingyuexi walked out of the shop, and Xia Nanfeng's secret guard quietly left.

"How did they find out? That's impossible! ”

Xia Nanfeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his anger was overwhelming, he kept walking around the room with his hands behind his back, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead with anxiety.
