For the next few days, Shu Fangyin wisely remained silent, just quietly waiting for the rumors to dissipate. However, the rumors that spread out of her have aroused the ideas of several people, one is the current crown prince, and the other is the second prince Wei Chi asked.

"How did the Shu family teach this? It is really annoying that a concubine dares to talk nonsense in such a dragon-like place as the capital. "The crown princess has also heard rumors these days, thinking that she is the crown princess, she has never dared to say that she will become a queen in the future, and a little concubine is so arrogant.

"The princess is angry, the old slave thinks that the eldest lady of the Shu family is a delicate person, but this concubine has always been a person who can't be on the stage, didn't she deal with her sister in the palace last time?" The old lady beside the crown princess clearly knows that the life of the crown prince and the crown princess is not easy now, especially when the old emperor is marrying the prince, he is worried that the power of the princess's mother's family is too great, and her throne will be threatened, and she is also worried that she will interfere in the government in the future, so the power of the princess's mother's family is not big.

Even if he has climbed for so many years, he is just an official with no real power, and now several princes are adults, although the second prince has been doing things for the prince, but the throne is really inaccurate, how many people have died for the throne since ancient times, this everyone knows in their hearts, especially the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the prince are not harmonious, and the two mothers' concubines are also considered powerful.

At this moment, if you face the upstart Shu family, the life of the prince and the princess will inevitably be even more sad, so the old lady still persuades the princess to be less angry.

"I also know that it's not the Shu family's fault, it's just that my heart is panicked, and I don't vomit unhappily." The crown princess is really angry.

"The old slave heard that this Marquis of An Guo not only has deep trust from the emperor today, but even the ninth prince has praised him a few times, and he can be regarded as a rare one among the ministers in the capital."

"Another day, invite the eldest lady of the Shu family to the house, I really want to see if the Shu family doesn't take me seriously, or a little concubine is jumping."

"Yes." When the old lady had received the will, she went down and prepared to go.

And Wei Chi asked if there were also advisers over there who were talking to him about it: "Second prince, these are all gossip, don't believe it." ”

"Mr. Sun is afraid that he doesn't know, this news has actually been spread for some time, as early as five or six days ago, but at that time, these news were only spread on a small scale, and the content was not like this, the prince also sent someone to verify, but at this time, but in the past two days, the wind direction has suddenly changed, and it is estimated that someone has also moved behind it." Wei Chi asked, pinched the slip in his hand and handed it to Mr. Sun.

Mr. Sun took a closer look at the slip in his hand, and when he raised his eyes, he was full of surprise: "Where did this news come from, Your Highness?" ”

"A few days ago, the prince's secret guard heard the news, it is said that the rumor that Miss Shu Er is Fengxing came from Guoguang Temple, and it was said by the traveling monk himself, at first the prince did not believe it, and deliberately asked people to investigate, and later confirmed, it is said that the two young ladies of the Shu family were in Guoguang Temple that day, and the eldest lady of the Shu family was very depressed when she heard the news."

"Well, then, it's well documented."

"Not bad."

"Second prince, do you think that since there is evidence to follow, this is a good opportunity to start?"

"Oh? Why? Wouldn't this news attract the attention of several others? Wei Chi asked, with one hand behind his back, and the other hand holding a jade seal.

"It's not this rumor that I've heard below, the rumors these days have overshadowed the news that the second prince got earlier, and several other princes have taken this matter as a joke, if the second prince makes a move at this time, it will be a surprise."

"Mr. Sun has a point." Wei Chidu asked for a while and then replied, but he began to think about it in his heart.

At this time, Shu Fangyin would not have thought of it at all, just because this self-defeating was self-defeating, but it attracted the attention of the owner who wanted to be the main one, and at this time, in order to make the rumors more true, she stayed in the mansion honestly.

"Miss, why hasn't there been any movement over there recently?" Lilac has always been staring at the courtyard over there, and she still can't figure out why Shu Fangyin's temperament hasn't made a fuss.

"At this time, the commotion doesn't confirm that the rumor was made by her, isn't she, she's not so stupid." Shu Manyin was bored and was embroidering and painting with comfrey and lilacs.

"Look, you're not paying attention, and you've embroidered this bluegrass into a weed." Shu Manyin saw that the work in Lilac's hand stopped, took a closer look, couldn't help shaking her head, and knocked Lilac's head.

"Miss, don't knock me on the head again, the slave is stupid, and if you knock again, you will really become a fool." Lilac knew her young lady's temperament, so she couldn't help pursing her mouth, lying coquettishly, and stopped the work in her hand as she spoke.

"Where do you need Miss to knock, it's not smart in the first place." As soon as the comfrey saw Lilac stop the work in her hand, she knew that this girl was lazy again, so she couldn't help but make fun of her.

When Aunt Feng arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw the appearance of the three masters and servants laughing together, she rubbed her palms, and was about to turn around and leave, when the girl who swept the yard greeted her: "I've seen Auntie." ”

This greeting put away the three people who were playing in the house, and Lilac hurriedly opened the door and said, "I've seen my aunt, what is my aunt doing here." ”

"The concubine wants to come over to meet the eldest lady, if it's inconvenient, the concubine will wait." Aunt Feng was obviously a little cramped.

"Auntie, come in, this will be empty too." Saying this, Shu Manyin came out of the house.

"I've seen the eldest lady, the concubine didn't know that the eldest lady was having something, and it was not the right time to come and disturb the eldest lady." Aunt Feng was a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing to disturb or bother, I'm also idle, but my aunt is here and there is one more person to talk to, and it's strange that the aunt who stays outside is cold and comes in to talk." Since the last time she opened up and chatted with Aunt Feng, Shu Manyin temporarily let go of her vigilance, so she was quite polite to Aunt Feng.

After Aunt Feng followed Shu Manyin into the house, she knelt down directly.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Shu Manyin could probably guess what Aunt Feng was here for, but she still had to confirm it.

"The concubine pleads guilty to you." Aunt Feng's face was ashamed: "The concubine heard the rumors and rumors that she was wearing outside recently, and she really felt ashamed of the eldest lady, and also ashamed of the lord and the lady, but the concubine was useless, and she taught such a cheeky daughter, which was really a shame for Shufu, and she had no shame to face the old lady, so she could only come over and ask the eldest lady first." ”

"Auntie, why bother, it's not you who did the wrong thing, I'm afraid that my aunt will be even more embarrassed." Shu Manyin is such a smart person, the way of nature is that Aunt Feng preemptively picks the crime on herself first, so that even if her father and mother want to punish in the future, even if it is for her face, she will be punished lightly.

"Eldest Miss, the concubine knows that she is soft-spoken, but after all, the second miss is a piece of meat that fell from the concubine's body, which is of course false to say that she is not distressed, but now that the second miss is older and has her own ideas, it is a dilemma that the concubine body cannot be left and right, I just hope that the punishment of the second miss can be reduced, and it is good to be a mother." Aunt Feng's eyes were full of tears as she spoke, and her words were sincere and sad.

"I know, aunt go back, if there is anything, I will try to intercede for my sister." Shu Manyin replied.

"Thank you, Miss." Aunt Feng kowtowed sincerely, and then withdrew.

"Miss, why is the difference between this person and a person so big, you said that Aunt Feng is such a soft person, how can she give birth to a daughter with such a big heart." Lilac also heard that her eyes were red, she had been going early since she was a child, and she didn't enjoy a few days of her father's love and love, so she couldn't stand this scene.

"This person is born different, some people are beautiful, some people are ugly, some people are good, some people are bad, no one can guarantee whether they will change in the future, let alone control others, a person has desires, has what he wants, there will be conspiracy, there will be unscrupulous means." When Shu Manyin was in the harem in her previous life, she saw too many examples of girls who began to be kind and became ruthless for the sake of their powerful position.

After Shu Zhenyuan returned home from the court, he hurriedly went to Zhou's courtyard: "Madam, I have heard some rumors recently, talking about the second girl. He was a little cautious, for fear of upsetting Zhou.

"Did you hear about these things?" Zhou didn't hide it: "I heard about this a few days ago, but I was worried that it would make the master sad, so I didn't tell the master." ”

"So, these rumors are true." Shu Zhenyuan is obviously also a little angry, God knows how his colleagues have some playful expressions when he goes to the court these days, you must know that Shu Zhenyuan is also an iron-clad man, where can he tolerate sand.

"Man'er told me about this, it's just a rumor outside, Aunt Feng and Man'er came over today, saying that they want us to punish lightly, and I'm also embarrassed." Zhou didn't tell a lie, Aunt Feng still went to Zhou's courtyard after leaving from Shu Manyin, saying that the second miss had ruined the reputation of the Shu family and wanted to take the second miss to live in Beizhuang for a few days.

"What did she say?"

"She said that she wanted to take the second girl to live in Beizhuang for a few days, so that the girl could reflect on herself." Zhou took off Shu Zhenyuan's cloak and handed him hot tea.

"Hmph, she admits her mistake quickly, I'm afraid that the second girl won't agree." After all, Shu Zhenyuan is the father of his two daughters, and it is clear which one has what kind of temperament.

"I'm also embarrassed, but the concubine thinks it's not a bad thing for the second girl to avoid it." Zhou said: "There are many things in this capital, but this matter will be over after it has passed, so as not to ruin the reputation of the second girl." ”

"Then let's drop it like this, notify the second girl, clean up, let her go to Beizhuang early the morning after tomorrow, Aunt Feng should not go, let her go alone, so that she can reflect and reflect well."
