Chapter 34: Rumors Spread
After Murong Shan left, Murong Xun sat back again, but he didn't have much plan to report that Murong Shan would help her, after all, people are always servile, and their mother and daughter have been living for so many years looking at the face of the eldest lady Shangguan, if they want to oppose her all of a sudden, it will take courage. But she was very sure that she would never tell the eldest lady what she said today, because Murong Shan came to her as soon as she came back, which had already shown that Murong Shan did not trust the eldest lady.
Yingge came back and said: "Something did happen on the way back for the third lady, and she met a thief on the way, according to the little girl who served the third lady, the situation was very critical at that time, but fortunately, General Shen Xiaoyi and General Shen arrived in time to save the third lady, and it was also escorted back by General Shen Xiaoxiao all the way!" ”
Murong Xun smiled lightly, his index finger gently twisted in a circle at the mouth of the cup, and his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not long after, a little maid came to visit Shangguan Zixuan.
Murong Xun hurriedly asked people to invite him in, and since his mansion moved back to the prime minister's mansion, he hadn't seen each other.
Shangguan Zixuan came with a body of sunlight, he was wearing a beige robe, an emerald jade belt, and black soft boots.
Shangguan Zixuan had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and his amber eyes were slowly warm, "Miss Murong!" ”
Murong Xun hurriedly invited Shangguan Zixuan to take a seat, "How can you have time to come and see me today!" ”
Shangguan Zixuan glanced at Murong Xun worriedly, and said, "I heard that everything happened when you went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense yesterday, so let's see if you are doing anything!" ”
Murong Xun smiled faintly, raised his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine!" ”
Shangguan Zixuan looked at Murong Xun, his eyes flashed, as if he wanted to say something, "It was King Qin who saved you, didn't you?" ”
"News spreads so fast?" Murong Xun smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Shangguan Zixuan pursed his lips, frowned briskly, looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and only then did he look at Murong Xun and said softly: "There are some rumors about you and King Qin......
"It's just how ugly it sounds!" An abrupt voice sounded from behind.
Murong Xun was no longer surprised by Shangguan Zisang's elusiveness, she stroked the petals embroidered on her sleeves, and said lightly: "What's an ugly way?" ”
Shangguan Zisang flashed in front of Murong Xun, frowning exquisitely, and there was a little more resentment in Yingying's eyes like water waves, "When you were about to fall to the cliff, King Qin came to save you regardless of your life, and the two hugged each other as if they were husband and wife, even when they were in the White Horse Temple, the two of them were eyebrows and often had trysts in private. It is said that the fifth lady of Murong Mansion has actually secretly Chen Cang with King Qin for a long time, and when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether Miss Murong will marry King Qin! ”
After a pause, Shangguan Zisang continued as if he was not addicted: "Some people also say that Miss Murong Wu is jealous of her third sister, and she is seducing King Qin, but in fact, she has already been secretly married!" ”
Murong Xun's fingers stiffened, what happened yesterday has been spread all over the market today, and you don't need to think about it to know whose handwriting, although half of the words are true, but I never thought that the rumors would spread to such an extent. I couldn't help but feel a little more worried in my heart, if this happened, even if I could replace Murong Shan and marry King Qin in the future, I am afraid that my reputation would not be good!
And the plan of the person who spread the rumors is that he has an affair with someone from the royal family, and the woman who seduces her brother-in-law's watery Yang Hua is afraid that no one dares to ask for it! Intentions are not vicious!
What she was worried about at the moment was that Murong Shan heard these rumors, so not only was there no hope of forming an alliance, but she would even deal with herself with the eldest lady!
Murong Xun smiled indifferently and raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Zisang's anxious little face, "Is there anything else?" ”
Shangguan Zisang's eyebrows widened, and he looked at Murong Xun in surprise, "Isn't it enough?" Aren't you worried at all? ”
"You said it was a rumor, what can I do? To explain? I'm afraid that it will get blacker and darker, so just let it go! Murong Xun gently wiped the water stains on his lips with a handkerchief and said indifferently.
Shangguan Zisang frowned and looked at Murong Xun suspiciously, "You don't think that King Qin is really interesting to him because he is handsome, right?" Biting his lip, he said again: "Do you know, brother, he ......"
"Ko-san!" Shangguan Zixuan interrupted Shangguan Zisang's words, he looked at Murong Xun's eyes with a little more worry, and sighed, "When I came, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to stand it, but looking at your attitude, I am much more relieved!" ”
Murong Xun looked at Shangguan Zisang and asked, "Isn't today the last day you made a bet with King Qin?" ”
Shangguan Zisang pouted, the scars on his face had almost disappeared, "Don't play!" ”
Murong Xun smiled, when he was in the White Horse Temple, he also heard that Shangguan Zisang was caught by King Qin again, and was hung upside down overnight in front of the gate of the palace, thinking that Xiao Sang must have lost face, but even if King Qin can take Xiao Sang under his command, if Xiao Sang is resentful, how can he be loyal to repay it? After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what King Qin is planning!
Shangguan Zixuan asked again: "Yingxue, let me ask you, what are you going to do with that person in prison?" ”
Murong Xun bit his lip and thought about it, his eyes flashed, "Shangguan, do me a favor!" ”
That night, Murong Hua called Murong Xun to the study.
Murong Hua was still dressed in dark red court clothes, under the dim candlelight, his expression was a little serious, his lips were tightly pursed, the official documents on the side of the desk were piled up, he held the pen in his hand, and quickly reviewed it.
"Father called me here for ......," Murong Xun said lightly.
Murong Hua raised his head, his eyes were a little dim, he looked at Murong Xun silently for a while, and then said lightly: "How do you plan to deal with the matter of King Qin?" ”
Murong Xun's eyes moved slightly, observing Murong Hua's expression, and said with a slight smile: "It's just a rumor, my father can't be so concerned!" ”
Murong Hua's eyes darkened, showing a little anger, he thought that he was invisible, this time he must be angry, but his tone was still indifferent, "You can still laugh!" staring at Murong Xun's eyes, "Aren't you going to get married?" ”
Murong Xun sighed: "What does my father think? What about smokers? Crying and talking about his innocence, didn't he have anything to do with King Qin? ”
Murong Hua paused, his expression was still serious but there was a little more tenderness, "Let me ask you, do you like King Qin?" ”
"What?"
Murong Xun got up, slowly paced to the window, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said lightly: "If you like King Qin, tomorrow I will play Your Majesty, change this marriage, and marry you to King Qin!" ”
Murong Xun frowned and looked at Murong Hua's back, and thought about it for a while, "Father, I am really on the cusp at this moment, I am afraid it is inappropriate to change the marriage now!" ”
"You're sober!" Murong Hua snorted coldly, turned around and said, "To be honest, I don't want to marry you into the royal family, this time I really have to do it!" ”
Murong Xun said: "The so-called boat is naturally straight to the bridge, there is always a solution to the matter!" Father will leave this matter to Xun'er to deal with by himself, okay? It's just that when the time comes, I'm afraid I should ask my father to come forward! ”
Murong Hua said in a deep voice: "You can just look at it yourself, and if you need help for your father, just say it!" ”
"Thank you, father!"
"You...... It looks like your mother! When it was over, Murong Hua looked at Murong Xun's back and said in a hoarse voice.
A sneer condensed on Murong Xun's lips. Regretted it? I knew why I had to do it in the first place!
Since the room has spread the news all over the room, how can there be any in the Prime Minister's Mansion to be spared.
It is said that after the third lady Murong Shan heard about this scandal, she cried in the room all night, and on the second day, her face was haggard and her eyes were red, but she still had to force a smile and ask the eldest lady and the prime minister to say goodbye. When the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion talked about the third lady, they didn't pity her suffering and sighed at her filial piety.
On the other hand, the newly returned fifth lady really deserves to have grown up in the countryside, she has never been to say hello to the eldest lady after returning to the house for so long, and such a big thing happened, but she is like a person who has nothing to do, talking and laughing freely, and she is really shameless. Speaking of her, it was all a look of contempt.
Murong Xun naturally felt the contempt of the subordinates in the courtyard except for Yingge, but he didn't care at all.
But Yingge was a little angry, she knew the truth, so she persuaded Murong Xun: "People always love to chew their tongues, if the master is troublesome, why don't you get rid of them!" ”
Murong Xun smiled faintly: "The body is not afraid of the shadow, let them say go!" ”
Sure enough, not long after, Murong Shan came to Murong Xun's Tingyuxuan again. Murong Xun was not surprised at all, if Murong Shan heard those words, he would definitely come to find out the truth.
Murong Shan said a light blue floor-mopping pleated skirt, the skirt was a solid color, without any decoration, she applied a little powder today, covering her pale face, and the whole person looked pitiful.
Murong Shan sat down, and after a few words of greeting, she asked tentatively: "The fifth sister and the King of Qin really love each other, if so, I will immediately enter the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, and ask her to take back her will and fulfill you!" ”
The marriage between Murong Shan and King Qin was indeed given by the Queen Mother, and this time Murong Shan prayed for blessings in Wan'an Temple instead of the Queen Mother. It is true that no matter what, the royal family will never give up such an innocent daughter-in-law and marry her as a virtuous woman instead, the worst case scenario is that the two daughters work together for a husband, and they can only be side concubines at most. And in the future, no matter where you are, you will not be able to hold your head up.
Murong Xun's eyes were gloomy, smiling but not smiling, "Third sister misunderstood, the things you said and heard were just rumors!" King Qin did save my life, but it was all for the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the relationship between the little sister and the King of Qin was innocent, and nothing happened at all! ”
Murong Shan frowned slightly, a little unconvinced, "Seriously! ”
"Nature is true!" Murong Xun smiled faintly, "If the third sister doesn't believe it, you can go to King Qin and ask, does he have a personal relationship with the little sister?" The soft sunlight poured down on her face, making it slightly unreal and indiscernible as it looked.
Murong Shan's face paused slightly, withdrew her gaze from Murong Xun's face, pressed her hand and said with a smile: "Since the fifth sister has said it, how can I not believe it!" It's just that after all, it is detrimental to the reputation of the fifth sister, why don't we wait for the third sister to enter the palace, the queen mother, we will marry into the Qin Palace, one is to protect the reputation of the fifth sister, and again, our sisters will be in one place in the future, and we can also have a care! ”
"Third sister!" Murong Xun said, "The third sister doesn't have to worry about the little sister's affairs, the marriage is all fate, and she can't force it!" She looked at Murong Shan's eyes and said slowly: "My little sister only wants to marry the man she admires, even if it is coarse tea and light rice, she is also willing!" ”
Murong Shan's eyes flickered, as if she had said something on her mind, she raised her lips and smiled: "Since this is the case, I don't need to persuade each other anymore!" ”
After a few more gossips, Murong Shan left. Out of Listening to Yuxuan, a maid behind her asked, "Miss believes the words of Miss Five?" ”
