The grandmother who was holding Xu Luqing asked in a low voice, "Miss, what you said before, do you still have to do it?" ”

Xu Luqing bit her lower lip tightly, was silent for a moment, and finally took out the letter stolen from Lin Zhuyun's room hidden in her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Yes, now that the sword is on the string, it has to be sent." And last time, my father and mother signed it to me in the spirit of heaven, asking me to continue, how can I give up. ”

Mama opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

Recently, when Lin Zhuyun walks on the street, he often feels that someone is pointing behind him and whispering something. She thought it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't bother.

Until this day, she was inspecting the jade market, and took a fancy to a delicate jade carving, and when she was picking it up and wanted to ask the stall owner, she suddenly heard two women in simple clothes who were biting her ears with their backs to her in the next stall, but they were too unscrupulous, and the sound was so loud that it reached Lin Zhuyun's ears.

"Look, look, the woman in the white dress standing in front of Lao Zhang's stall is the young girl of Lin Ji Yudiao!"

"Wow! I saw that she was dressed in a white dress, her face was also plain, and she was dressed so purely, I didn't expect that she was a shameless prodigal! ”

Lin Zhuyun was stunned, such filthy words, are you talking about her?

She clenched the jade carving in her hand, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and continued to listen, she wanted to hear what kind of tongue these women were going to chew.

The two women, fearing that their own ears were not good for others, talked more and more boldly.

"Eh, have you been to the bars in the dark alleys?"

"Amitabha, I don't dare to go to those pickled places, they all say that those women are goblins who seduce men's hearts, on the surface they are talking about a quiet place to taste tea and appreciate the piano and chant poetry, but in fact, they all rely on their hands and mouths to hook men!"

When the woman heard this, she ignored her old face, stared at her eyes and asked curiously, "What kind of work can you do with your hands and mouth?" ”

Another woman raised her eyebrows: "I also heard from the princess next door, she said that her man had been there once, and said that the girl's jade hands were as soft as no bones, and then smeared with some kind of perfume, and touched the man's body, just like the snake letter is as soft and slippery, no matter what kind of willow Hui you are, you can't stand it!" ”

The woman's old face turned red, and she put her elbow on the other woman and said, "You said that this Lin Ji girl is a good lady, what are you doing in those places in the dark alley?" And I've heard that it's not just once, I'm afraid that there are more times than some men! ”

The other woman laughed "poof", her eyebrows fluttering, and said, "What do you say you can do?" Is she, a woman, to be served by women like men? That's for sure...... I went to learn from a teacher......"

Her wonderful facial expression successfully made the woman who chewed the root of her tongue with her think about it: "I said why is it that General Kuang, a dignified general stationed in the south of our country, although he said that he has a scar on his forehead, he is still a tall and mighty and majestic son, how can he be the daughter of a merchant like Lin Ji?" I didn't even stay in the room, so I was...... It's this Miss Lin who has high means! ”

When Lin Zhuyun heard this, her face was already flushed, and the knuckles holding the jade carving were so white that they turned blue, she put down the things in her hand, rushed to the two women and shouted: "Who gave you your dog guts!" Dare to choreograph me here! You are here to slander people's innocence out of thin air! ”

Xiaotang hurriedly rushed over and stopped in front of Lin Zhuyun, afraid that someone would hurt Lin Zhuyun if the scene was chaotic.

Seeing that there were only two women, Lin Zhuyun and Xiaotang, the two women were not afraid at all, but said with their eyes crossed and said in a weird manner: "What we said is true or false, Miss Lin, you know it in your own heart." ”

Xiaotang was so angry that he couldn't do it first: "What is true and what is false!" None of the filthy things you say about our young lady are true! ”

"Yo~ Miss Lin's frequent visits to dark alleys in broad daylight are also fake? Not to mention that the people who set up stalls at the gate of the dark alley have seen it, and now the news that you went to the dark alley alone is known to everyone in Manling City! ”

Lin Zhuyun was stunned, every time she went to the dark alley, she was masked, she usually never went to the stall at the entrance of the dark alley, even if she saw the stall, it was impossible to recognize her, and it was impossible for the head of Mo Xianglou to reveal the matter.

Even if a few people recognized her, it was impossible for the news to spread so quickly, and someone must have deliberately spread the news that she had been to the dark alley.

Talking to them now will only make the rumors worsen, Lin Zhuyun calmed down, and simply said without changing his face: "The little woman has indeed been to the dark alley. ”

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar.

"Isn't she crazy? Dare to admit this kind of thing! I think the people of Kuang Mansion are going to repent of marrying her this time! ”

"But she dares to say that, is there something else hidden?"

Lin Zhuyun ignored the surrounding discussions, facing everyone, with a frank and unrestrained look on his face: "It's just that I went to the dark alley because I was entrusted by the county prince to make a new batch of hosta jade bracelets for the women in the dark alley on behalf of our Lin Ji jade carving." And I didn't go alone, my second brother went with me. What did I do in the dark alley, those people in charge of the fence know, and the county magistrate also knows, if you don't believe it, you can ask yourself! ”

As soon as the name of the county prince came out, the surrounding onlookers gasped, the entire mausoleum city was under the jurisdiction of the county prince, and the hook fences and tiles in the dark alleys were also managed by the county prince, and there were even rumors that there was a place where the daughter of the criminal minister was imprisoned by the current saint Qin Yu.

Lin Ji was entrusted by the county prince to send Lin Zhuyun to make hosta jade bracelets, which must be reasonable.

At this time, the two women who were talking about Lin Zhuyun turned pale and no longer dared to speak.

Lin Zhuyun's fierce eyes glanced at everyone, and everyone dispersed, not daring to gather around again, and after a while, only Lin Zhuyun, Xiaotang and the two women who had just chewed the root of their tongues looked at each other.

Lin Zhuyun faced the two women and said sharply: "If you can sincerely apologize to me, then I will spare you for today's incident." ”

The two women were already sweating like rain now, and when they heard Lin Zhuyun say this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed as if they had been granted amnesty: "Thank you, Miss Lin!" Thank you, Miss Lin! It's all my long hair and short knowledge, and after listening to a few rumors, I started to make up random arrangements, damn me! I'm damned! ”

Lin Zhuyun watched them kowtow coldly, and said in a calm voice: "I will spare you today, and you will still do it for yourself in the future." ”

She pondered for a moment and asked, "Where did you hear the rumors?" ”

The two of them immediately explained where they had heard them from and which people they had passed them on, like beans poured into a bamboo tube.

……

As soon as Lin Zhuyun, who had just finished solving the problem of the jade market, stepped into the gate of the Lin Mansion, he felt that the eyes and aura of the people under him were very strange.

She walked in slowly, and the expressions of those subordinates immediately lowered their heads and busily took up the work in their hands, with a secretive expression.

Xiaotang also found out, she pulled Lin Zhuyun's sleeve and asked, "Miss......"

Lin Zhuyun touched her hand lightly and gave her a comforting look: "It's okay, if I'm not mistaken, it's still those rumors." ”

Sure enough, there was already a maid waiting for Lin Zhuyun on the road: "Miss, the old lady has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time." And also...... The lord and wife of General Kwong's family are also there. ”

Lin Zhuyun frowned, secretly wondering how they could be here. But now there was no time to think about it, Lin Zhuyun walked straight to the main hall quickly.

As soon as she entered the main hall, the gaze of the four pairs of eyes shot on her body, and Lin Zhuyun's heart trembled, she had not seen such a battle for a long time.

Master Lin and his wife sat in front of the door, and when they saw Lin Zhuyun enter the door, they shouted in a low voice with a calm face: "Yunyun, come here." ”

Master Kuang and Mrs. Kuang, who were sitting on the side, looked displeased, and snorted coldly in their nostrils, full of dissatisfaction.

Lin Zhuyun held his head high, without a trace of guilt, Shi Shiran entered the hall, and saluted Master Kuang and Mrs. Kuang in a thoughtful manner: "Old General Kuang, Mrs. Kuang." ”

The two of them only snorted coldly and ignored her.

Lin Zhuyun's face did not change, and he saluted in front of Lin's father and Lin's mother: "Daddy and Auntie." My daughter came back late, it's my daughter's. ”

Mother Lin grabbed Lin Zhuyun, covered her warm palm on her hand, patted it comfortingly, and then turned her head to Father Lin and said angrily: "You bad old man, the county prince gave you the business in the dark alley, of course we are grateful to Dade for taking it, of course, it's no problem, but you, a confused old man, actually let Yunyun be responsible for a yellow flower girl who has not been out of the cabinet, you are not out of your mind!" ”

Father Lin stroked his beard with a sad face: "I just think that Yunyun wants to learn to do business, then this businessman must not be afraid to go to the dark alley to make a big order, which will be of great benefit to her future housekeeper." ”

When the elders spoke, Lin Zhuyun didn't dare to interject, and only stood aside obediently.

At this time, Master Kuang got up suddenly, he was also a person who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and the domineering and majestic aura on his body immediately surprised everyone present.

He said with a dark face: "Master Lin and Mrs. Lin don't have to say this, you have your own way of raising your daughter, whether it is to raise a dignified and cautious lady or to raise a shrewd and capable virtuous helper, since the marriage contract has been under for many years, we will definitely not easily break the contract." It's just that now, in the streets and alleys of this city, it is said that Miss Lin is a ...... It's a prodigal woman who learns some unpopular stuff from the goods in the hook bar! This is what we need to do with Kuang Mansion! Can we still marry such a light and superficial woman with a sedan chair into the house?! ”

These words were full of anger, and everyone present heard them clearly.

When Master Lin heard that Lin Zhuyun was so badly evaluated, he was called a woman who was light and thin, and his face instantly turned blue.

"Slap" slapped a big palm on the Taishi's chair: "Old General Kuang, I call you an old general because you once fought on the battlefield for Lingcheng, not that our Lin family is a few heads shorter than you, you used to come to propose marriage when I was a child in Yunyun or Huang Hair, and the marriage agreement has been in place for many years, and I came to accept the lottery a while ago, but now you are going to regret the marriage because of a few untrue rumors?" How do you want my son to get along in this mausoleum after that?! ”

Every word of these words revealed Lin's father's love and maintenance for Lin Zhuyun, Lin Zhuyun couldn't help but have a sour nose, his eyes were also red, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

Master Kuang didn't buy it, put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "How to deal with yourself? When she went to the dark alley again and again, she should have thought about how to deal with herself in the future, and now it's too late! Our Kuang Mansion is a pure and innocent lady, not a frivolous and slutty woman! ”

"You! You! Father Lin was so angry that he covered his chest and couldn't speak.

"Hmph, it seems that there is no need to talk about it today! The marriage book was destroyed, and our Kuang Mansion sent it to the door in a few days. Farewell! After Mr. Kuang finished speaking, he pulled Mrs. Kuang and wanted to leave.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the main hall, blocking the way of the two
