The rumors about Lin Jiuniang became more and more intense in Fuzhou, although the lord of Shurong County did not leave the Hou Mansion for half a step, but he also quickly learned the content of the rumors from the mouths of the subordinates.

Lord Shurong was furious.

Originally, Bai Xiuyang and Lin Jiuniang were engaged, and the lord of Shurong had already regarded it as a great shame for the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.

Now there are rumors that Lin Jiuniang has lost her innocence, how can the county lord of Shurong still sit still?

She immediately sent the maid to call Bai Xiuyang, and said angrily: "Xiuyang, have you heard the rumors outside?" I want you to send someone to the Lin family to dissolve the marriage contract immediately! We can't afford to lose this person! ”

Bai Xiuyang was very calm, and said expressionlessly: "Dissolve the marriage contract? Then what should we do with the Lin family's 150,000 taels of silver? ”

The county lord of Shurong was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "It is the daughter of his Lin family who has lost her innocence, and the 150,000 taels naturally cannot be returned!" ”

Bai Xiuyang smiled: "Mother, what evidence do you have to prove that Lin Jiuniang has lost her innocence?" That Lin Zhilan has been in the shopping mall for many years, can he just let 150,000 taels of silver go down the drain? ”

Lord Shurong said hatefully: "It's all your father's ...... who killed a thousand knives But Xiuyang, I must not let a woman who has lost her innocence enter our door! ”

"Mother." Bai Xiuyang said comfortingly, "Everything is just rumors, Lin Jiuniang has not lost her innocence, she is still perfect." At this point, please rest assured. ”

"Reassured? How do you know? Lord Shurong asked, "Could it be that you sent someone to check?" ”

Bai Xiuyang smiled kindly: "Because, this rumor is what I asked people to put away." ”

"What?" Lord Shurong was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he stared directly at the baby son in front of him, "Xiuyang, are you crazy, why are you pouring dirty water on your head?" Do you know that you are now the laughing stock of the whole city of Fuzhou? ”

Bai Xiuyang's face did not change, and said with a faint smile: "Mother, what about the laughing stock?" One day, I will let those who laugh at me fall prostrate at my feet. ”

The county lord of Shurong only felt that she couldn't see through her son more and more, she helplessly supported her forehead with her hand, and said with a sigh...... "Xiuyang, no matter what, we can't just lose face in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion"

Bai Xiuyang poured a cup of tea for Lord Shurong and handed it to her: "Mother, now, we can only exchange face for silver." In the future, we can naturally exchange silver for face......"

.....

Zhixia and Qiuqiu didn't spend much effort to find a small hole in the corner of the Yixin Courtyard.

The hole is secluded and obscured by weeds.

Zhixia reached in and touched it, and he touched a stone.

She carefully picked up the stone, and a small note was pressed underneath.

Ji Qiu was literate, and hurriedly took out the note, only to see that the note was written crookedly: The young master of the Wu family wants to see Miss Jiu.

Zhixia hurriedly asked, "What is written?" “

Qiu Qiu said deflatedly: "The young master of the Wu family wants to see Miss Nine. ”

Zhixia was taken aback and said, "Sister Suo Chun wrote it?" ”

Qiu Qiu smiled bitterly: "If it's not her, who else can it be?" But I don't understand, why is she writing this? What's the use? ”

Zhixia shook his head and said, "I don't know......"

The two didn't dare to delay, hurriedly entered the house, and handed the note to Lin Jiuniang's hand.

Lin Jiuniang unfolded the note and glanced at it hurriedly, quickly closed it again, and handed it back to Zhixia: "Put this back." ”

"Put it back?" Zhixia was a little puzzled, "Why?" ”

"If you don't put it back, how can you know what Suo Chun wants to do?"

Zhixia said with a sad face: "Why doesn't Miss Nine find Sister Suochun and ask for clarification?" ”

"You think she'll tell the truth?" Lin Jiuniang asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Zhixia frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "How could Sister Suo Chun become like this......"

"People always change." Lin Jiuniang comforted her, "Just like me, haven't I also changed?" ”

"Although Miss Nine's temperament has changed, our hearts have not changed." Qiu Qiu said, "Then Miss Nine, shall I put this note back again?" ”

"Put, I want to see who is singing this play."

Early the next morning, Zhixia went to check it according to Lin Jiuniang's instructions, and sure enough, the note was gone.

Lin Jiuniang didn't ask much, and continued to copy Buddhist scriptures in the study.

After a while, Jiang Xuan came.

Not only Jiang Xuan came, but Wu Qiyu also came.

Lin Jiuniang immediately understood, put down the brush and went out to greet her: "I've seen my sister-in-law, I've seen my fourth cousin." ”

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Ninth sister, this is the first time you have seen Qiyu, right?" How did you know it was him? ”

Lin Jiuniang smiled softly: "It's not the fourth cousin, who else can it be?" Sister-in-law should know it in her heart. ”

Jiang Xuan heard that Lin Jiuniang's words were wrong, and the smile on her face suddenly became a little sluggish.

Previously, she asked Suo Chun to spread rumors outside in Yixin Courtyard, just to make Lin Jiuniang lose confidence in marrying into the Hou Mansion.

Later, she saw Suo Chun's note again, and found that Wu Qiyu seemed to be interested in Lin Jiuniang, so she thought about creating an opportunity for the two of them, maybe they could be matched.

After all, Wu Qiyu is young, handsome, and gentle, and is the type that girls like.

Wasn't Lin Wuniang fascinated by him?

If Lin Jiuniang loses confidence in marrying into the Hou Mansion, she may be interested in Wu Qiyu.

Therefore, when Wu Qiyu went to Tingyuxuan to visit Lin Zhilan today, and it happened that Lin Zhilan was not there, Jiang Xuan moved her mind and proposed to go to Yixin Courtyard for a walk. Sure enough, Wu Qiyu pushed the boat down the river and came with Jiang Xuan.

Wu Qiyu saw that Lin Jiuniang and Jiang Xuan didn't speak, so she said with some embarrassment: "I'm not invited, and please don't mind Sister Jiu." ”

Lin Jiuniang smiled slightly and said, "The fourth cousin is willing to come to Yixin Courtyard with a face, which is the honor of the little sister." ”

As she spoke, she turned sideways and said, "Sister-in-law, fourth cousin, please sit in the room." ”

Looking at the sophisticated expression on Lin Jiuniang's immature face, Wu Qiyu was suddenly a little disappointed.

How did the unrestrained girl who sat on the locust tree become like this?

With a sophisticated face, there is no innocence and innocence of a girl, and like other young ladies that Wu Qiyu has seen, she has developed a deep temperament in the house early.

It doesn't look as simple and innocent as Lin Wuniang......

Wu Qiyu followed Jiang Xuan to sit in the Yixin courtyard for a while, and soon left in a hurry.

Jiang Xuan noticed that Wu Qiyu was not interested in Lin Jiuniang, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still asked Lin Jiuniang with a smile: "Ninth sister, what do you think of Qiyu?" ”

Lin Jiuniang said lightly: "Fourth cousin...... Of course it's good, otherwise, the eldest lady wouldn't want to recruit him as a son-in-law. ”

Jiang Xuan smiled a little unnaturally: "You have also heard?" However, the matter has not yet been decided, and perhaps, Qi Yu has his own ideas. ”

Lin Jiuniang didn't answer, just looked at Jiang Xuan with a smile.

Jiang Xuan was a little hairy by her, and couldn't help avoiding her gaze, and smiled a little unnaturally: "Ninth sister, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Jiuniang said casually: "It's nothing...... My sister-in-law cares about me so much, and I am really touched. ”

As she spoke, she squinted her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xuan, her gaze was like an arrow, sharp and cold.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart......
