Chapter 342: Rumors Approaching the Truth
"Okay, you bastard girl, even the old man dares to tease!" Old Chen clutched his shoes in his hands and pursed his lower lip angrily.
But when he was angry, he suddenly laughed, and shook his head helplessly: "I'm still a girl." ”
He turned his head, looked at you, the people in the courtyard, looked at the green mountains and green waters, looked at the youthful and energetic faces, I didn't know what I remembered, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but the sadness in his eyes was about to overflow.
After losing his mind for a moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him, suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Deputy General Zhang who was walking towards him, rubbed his eyebrows, and returned to his unsmiling appearance, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
……
Yun Xiaoshuang went down the mountain and secretly went back to Zhao's mansion, where she heard two maids gossiping. If they were placed in another yard, these two girls would definitely be beaten to death by slapping their mouths.
But Yun Xiaoshuang prides herself on being a benevolent and righteous person, they can talk about it if they like it, and only talk about this kind of gossip can be used to relieve boredom in this boring era.
She didn't want to pay attention, but as she passed by them, she suddenly heard a key word, and couldn't help but stop and listen to them.
The voice of the conversation became quieter and quieter, and she had to lean her ear to that side in order to hear it clearly, but the sound continued to decrease until it was completely gone.
Yun Xiaoshuang turned her eyes in confusion, and looked at her in horror at the two maids. A slightly bold girl asked tremblingly, "Madam, if you are interested, do you want to ...... Listen together? ”
The maid next to her looked at her sharply, thinking that she had said the wrong thing.
Xiaoyun gently tugged at the sleeve of the interrogator girl, and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you crazy?" Actually invited his wife to listen to other people's gossip? Madame is on top, how can she mess with us gadgets? ”
As she spoke, Yun Xiaoshuang had already come to them, making Xiaoyun and Xiaoxiao tremble together.
But suddenly I heard a sentence in my ear: "Okay, what you are saying, I will listen to it too." ”
Xiao Xiao trembled and said: "Mrs. Hui, there are rumors outside that the matter of East Lake was planned by you, Madame. ”
"Me?" Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes widened in astonishment, feeling that this was a bit interesting.
Could it be that this rumor-monger let the donkey kick in his brain, and this crime is better on anyone's head than on her head. Xiaoyun tugged at her little dress again and winked at her.
Yun Xiaoshuang just didn't see it, and asked curiously and in astonishment with a pair of big eyes: "What else?" What else do you say about me? ”
"And you ...... Said that you ......" the little fingers wrenched the clothes, and the nervous heart almost jumped out, "Say that you have long been tired of seeing this Miss Lin family." But this Miss Lin is a gentle and kind-hearted person, and she wants to have a good relationship with you, so she has been invited many times by visiting the lake.
You can ...... You actually said something to ask her to invite in person, which caused Miss Lin to be furious, and she decided to come and ask you in person why you hate her so much. But not only did you not give her an answer, but you also scolded her and beat her with a stick. ”
Yun Xiaoshuang was already stunned.
She had long known that those people outside had powerful mouths, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful, she could make up such a bizarre story with just a little thing she knew, the key was that in addition to getting the wrong persona, the steps were quite the same.
Yun Xiaoshuang was amused and couldn't hold back her laughter. The two maids were frightened, and immediately fell to their knees on the ground, shaking like chaff.
"Eh, what are you doing here, hurry up, I haven't heard it yet! What's up there? Yun Xiaoshuang bent down and looked at them with a smile.
However, this gentle and kind appearance she deliberately made was a naked threat in the eyes of the two little girls, and she was so frightened that her body trembled even more, and she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
Yun Xiaoshuang could only squat down, tilting her head and trying to meet their line of sight, and said helplessly: "Why did you stop halfway through this?" I haven't finished listening to it yet, how uncomfortable it is for me! ”
However, the two of them didn't say a word anymore, and the cold sweat was swishing out, and even their clothes were wet after a while.
Yun Xiaoshuang saw that the two girls were really scared, and she didn't force them anymore, and waved her hand speechlessly to let them go down. As soon as the two girls who were still trembling heard that it was okay, they ran away, and in a blink of an eye, they disappeared.
With no one to tell her, she had to ask people to inquire. It's also idle to be idle, so it's better to listen to what everyone outside says about her.
After a while, Miss Rong came back, with a smile on her face, and when she saw Yun Xiaoshuang, she said, "Madam, you have become famous in our capital this time!" ”
"What do you mean?" Yun Xiaoshuang had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she vaguely felt that it had something to do with Xiaoyun, Xiaoxiao and the things she said.
Sure enough, Miss Rong continued: "Now, the streets and alleys of the whole capital are spreading your infamy!" It is said that you are a femme fatale, the most poisonous woman's heart. The set of lotus flowers of the beggar on the street has changed its new words, and it is all about your vicious incidents, and even the nursery rhyme you have become the protagonist! I don't know which gentleman is so talented that he made you into an ugly bad woman, and the words are quite smooth.
Oh yes, when the slave came back from the outside just now, he passed by a house, and the hostess was chasing the child to feed her, and the child didn't eat, so the woman said, 'Little rabbit, if you don't eat again, the evil lady of Zhaofu will pick you up and throw you into the East Lake!' 'And there's ...... more"
Yun Xiaoshuang listened to Miss Rong happily and her eyebrows fluttering about these messy rumors, and her mood was very complicated. She wordlessly waved her hand to interrupt Miss Rong's words, and said, "You will be excited later, I'm still here, can you give me some face?" Say something useful. ”
"Oh, okay." Miss Rong pursed her lips, her face still unfinished. Yun Xiaoshuang looked at it, and she was already thinking about how to knock her out of the Zhao Mansion.
Where did someone make a maid like this, and the owner of the declining maid actually followed outsiders to join in the fun. Let's make it up, why do you still gloat?
"The rumors outside are ever-changing, and there are all kinds of things to say, but they are all the same. The slave summed up the rumors he had heard, and found that no matter how these rumors changed, the central point did not change. The spread of such rules is already regarded as the 'conscience of the industry' in the rumors. ”
She learned this word from Yun Xiaoshuang, and she probably understood the meaning, but she didn't know how to use it. She felt that it was very suitable to be placed here.
"These rumors, speaking of which, all say that the East Lake cruise was deliberately arranged by you. Jing Zhaoyin's daughter invited you many times, but you didn't agree, but then suddenly agreed, this matter is doubtful. Coupled with the fact that Miss Lin and Miss An both died later, and only you were alive, it was more like a stone falling on the truth, which convinced these stupid people. ”
When Miss Rong inquired about these rumors, she felt for a moment that the logic of the rumor-mongers was very good, and her thinking was thorough, not like a lie. If she didn't know the truth, I'm afraid she would have been a little suspicious, no wonder these people are stupid.
"Some people also say that this is a play written and directed by you, otherwise why are there people who are familiar with you near Lin Qianjin's boat that day, and why are you the only one who survived the rescue at the same time, isn't it, you didn't even think about saving other people."
"Don't say it, it's true." Yun Xiaoshuang listened and nodded silently.
They could indeed save Lin Yan'er and An Xinyue that day, but the people of the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng deliberately went to save them one step late, which led to a situation where they almost couldn't even catch the bodies of the two of them.
Moreover, Yun Xiaoshuang was rescued by Zhao Mocheng as if he was crazy that day, and he risked his death to pull her up, who would lose his life for a stranger with such a lesson from the past?
Not to mention whether the masters are willing or not, even these minions are unwilling.
Zhao Mocheng was willing to save it because it was his beloved daughter-in-law who fell. Then Lin Yan'er and An Xinyue have a hairy relationship with them, so what if they risked their lives to save them, aren't they taken for granted? and will not be grateful to marry them.
Besides, they are the servants of the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng, why don't they guard their own masters to save other people's masters? That's not idle. Even the master is not in a hurry, what are they doing in a hurry? Anxious to show half-heartedness in front of your master?
As for the masters, they are even more reluctant to save them.
Needless to say, Zhao Mocheng is full of his daughter-in-law. This Lin Yan'er and An Xinyue are the key to Yun Xiaoshuang with their hearts, he is already very kind if he doesn't kill them, and he still expects him to save them? Something simply impossible.
The eighth prince, cherish his life like gold. Not to mention that he doesn't like the eldest lady of the Jing Zhao Yin family, who is pretending to be all the time, just because they are not familiar with each other, he will not deign to save the daughter of a courtier.
Who is he Song Zhehao? The child of the Son of Heaven, the dignified Eighth Prince of Tianshuo, how could he jump into the lake to save a woman like Zhao Mocheng.
So this rumor is also a half-truth.
Miss Rong opened her mouth and didn't ask anything else: "What is the lady going to do?" ”
"Old rules, let it go."
Yun Xiaoshuang handed the tea to Miss Rong, who kept talking, and got up to leave: "Love how to say it, and don't delay me to make money and make a fortune." If you want to believe in me, you will be grateful, and if you don't want to believe me, let them go, it doesn't matter. But ......"
The corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and her bright eyes were less innocent and cute, and a little more cunning and cold: "However, the people who spread rumors behind this have to study and study it carefully." I'm a person who loves talents, and even rumors can be made up as if they were true, and there are reasonable evidences, I think I'm a well-educated person, I have to meet them. ”
Miss Rong couldn't help laughing, the smile in her eyes deepened, she held the teacup and bowed slightly to Yun Xiaoshuang's back, and said, "Yes, slave understands." ”
