Rue Xiang was suspicious when she heard this, she was not like Qianqian, and she didn't know anything about the news outside. I often go out and walk around, and I will know if there is any major news. When did Nangong Hou start to have rumors.

"The slave has never heard of such a big thing, where did my uncle know about it?"

"This is about my father-in-law, since it is a rumor, it must be secretly spread in the market, if it is spread with great fanfare, with the status of father-in-law, those who spread rumors would have been dealt with a long time ago!" Jinyu lowered her voice and whispered.

Someone happened to pass by, Jin Yu hurriedly stopped, the two pretended to be nothing, and when the person walked away, Rue Xiang asked, "What kind of rumor is it?" ”

"Do you really want to hear it?"

Rue nodded eagerly.

"You can't go back and talk nonsense, after all, it's an unreliable thing, and now there is no circulation in the Hou Mansion, if you go back and say it everywhere, it will not only damage your father-in-law's reputation but also bring trouble to yourself!"

"Uncle, don't worry about Ruxiang's appetite, what is it?"

Jin Yu looked at Ruxiang's eager eyes, and her heart was stable: I took the bait!

At the moment, he said with a restrained look: "My father-in-law has not renewed the strings for many years since his wife's death, and he only has a daughter under his knees. It is said that the father-in-law is so affectionate to the late wife that he refuses to continue the strings, but recently some people have spread rumors on the street that the father-in-law is pretending to be all this, in fact, he has already raised a concubine outside, and I heard that the concubine is already pregnant. My father-in-law has no children under his knees, and I am just a son-in-law who has entered the family, and the Nangong Hou lineage will also be broken in the future. The father-in-law was worried that there would be no successor, so he raised a concubine outside! ”

"How is that possible!" Ruexiang's face suddenly turned red and white, and even her breathing became rapid, repeating "Impossible!" Hou Ye is not like this. ”

Jin Yu quietly observed the changes in Ruexiang, she and Nangong Hou have been together for a long time, Rue Xiang is so desperate to stay in the Hou Mansion, and she dares to deliberately scratch Qianqian's hand, and use her hands and feet on the wound to prevent Qianqian and herself from playing in the double piano ensemble at the court banquet, Zhuo Yinfeng must have given her some promise.

He knew too well what means these humble but ambitious people would use to climb up desperately. Rue Xiang is no longer a woman in her twenties, and she must be dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival in her heart to one day turn over in the Nangong Marquis's Mansion.

Now that she said this, she must have stabbed her heart, Zhuo Yinfeng has someone outside, and she is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son, no matter what kind of identity that person is, once she enters the Hou Mansion, where will there be a place for her rue incense.

Seeing that Rue Xiang's lips were a little bloodless because of her suspicion, Jin Yu just added fuel and vinegar and said: "Originally, I didn't believe it at first, in order to punish the wicked, I specially sent someone to check, but those people were exactly what they said, and even explained where they lived." I'm not on duty today, and I'm going to go around and see if there's such a thing. If I had framed my father-in-law, I would have been able to arrest him justifiably. ”

The corners of Rue Xiang's mouth twitched and she gasped, and said earnestly: "Who dares to slander Lord Hou like this, Rue Xiang will go with you!" ”

"Yes! So you can be used as a witness! Jin Yu's face was full of smiles, but her eyes were shining, and the cold was terrifying.

At that moment, the two of them went to the jewelry store to retrieve the hairpin, and then Jinyu took Rue Xiang all the way to the West Market. He had already listened well, but he was familiar with the road all the way.

Guiyi Fang in the West Market is far from the center of the city, and even though it is the time of the morning market, it is very quiet.

At the end of the long white stone street is a small courtyard with a door, although it looks like the courtyard of a well-off family from the outside, but the interior decoration is very exquisite.

The wood carvings on the beams of the gatehouse are all tedious and detailed, and there are red lanterns hanging on the verandah of the two hands, and the vermilion door of the wing room in the middle is deeply locked, so it is not clear what it looks like inside. This is the last time Jinyu came to investigate.

And this time Jin Yu took Rue Xiang around the house, and couldn't find any place to go in, so she had to go around the backyard, but saw that the corner door was half-hidden, and she listened to the corner for a while and didn't find any movement, and the two of them quietly touched in.

I didn't meet anyone along the wall all the way to the front yard, and Zhuo Yinfeng didn't want to be too conspicuous, and the scary people arranged here were exceptionally few.

There is a small attic at the end of the verandah near the main hall, and there is a small door below, which should be a place to pile up sundries on weekdays.

After a while, I heard a woman shouting crisply and loudly: "Aunt Xiang has already come to deliver food, why hasn't this door been closed!" ”

A rush of footsteps brushed against the wall, followed by the sound of the door being slammed shut before another woman's voice came, "Oh, I forgot!" There should be no thieves coming in! ”

It sounded like a woman.

"Thief?" The young woman snorted lightly, as if she had come to the edge of the verandah, "Don't look at what kind of place this is, dare to come here, be caught and thrown to the Hou Ye, and then send it to the Ice Imperial Gate, and have a good life with him!" ”

The light in the attic is not good, but Jin Yu listened to it really, Rue Xiang took another breath of cool air, it was Hou Ye and Bing Yumen, plus Jin Yu's brainwashing before, Rue Xiang involuntarily thought about Nangong Hou.

"That's what the Jade Pot Girl said! Everyone around here knows that this is the territory of Nangong Hou, who would dare to come! ”

"I don't dare to come, but it's also very deserted, and I don't know when I will be able to enter the Nangong Hou Mansion justifiably!" The young woman named Jade Pot was sullen and spoke with resentment.

"The girl is still worried about this. It's not a matter of time before you have your belly! The fortune teller has said that the girl is pregnant with a male fetus. Hou Ye has no children under his knees, if it is a boy, the identity of a girl is soaring. Even the daughter of Nafu is incomparable! ”

The jade pot laughed twice, and said: "That's natural, if the young lady was willing to follow the Hou Ye to find a family with five surnames, she would not have fallen like this, but she just found a broken house like a demon." The jade pot let out a long breath, as if he was very relaxed, "This rich son is so unlucky, then he can only rely on the son in our belly!" ”

"That's not it, in the future, the slave and maid will depend on you, girl! The sun is cold when it passes, I'll help you go back to your room to rest! I'm going to give birth in a month, so it's not good to catch a cold! ”

You don't have to look at it with your own eyes to imagine what the woman named Aunt Xiang is like. After the two entered the house, Jin Yu saw the opportunity and hurriedly took Rue Xiang out of the yard.
