Mrs. Chen found her roommate and told her, "I heard that Su Yueling will prepare meals when building roads, and will invite village women from Lushan Village to be cooks."
"When the time comes, try to bribe the cooks inside, add beans to their meals, and let them fuck you hard for a few days."
"They are all cheap people who won't die after having diarrhea for a few days."
At that time, it can be said that Su Yueling wanted to be famous and didn't want to spend too much money, so she deliberately bought cheap meat that had been killed by the disease and made them eat it and have diarrhea. In fact, if it directly killed people, it would be the biggest impact on Su Yueling's reputation.
It was a shock, but Mrs. Chen was worried that if someone died, she would have the same nightmares as before, so she resisted the urge, and finally asked her companion to buy laxatives such as croton.
She thought for a while and added: "Find a way to bribe more people, subcontract some of the glutinous rice, and say that Su Yueling deliberately bought moldy old rice to use as glutinous rice."
After these two incidents were exposed, no matter how good Su Yueling's original reputation was, the backlash would be severe.
Imagine that Su Yueling's reputation was discredited, and maybe even Xiangjun's title was revoked. Mrs. Chen's originally depressed mood improved a lot.
"Madam, if you want to bribe someone, I'm afraid you'll have to spend a lot of money."
Not to mention the swapping of glutinous rice. In this process, not only one or two people have to be bribed, but also just a few taels of silver, which is probably not enough. Even when she was in the state capital, she heard that Su Yueling was very generous to the villagers.
, the amount of money given was quite large.
Mrs. Chen frowned, but finally gritted her teeth and took out five hundred taels of silver, "This money should be spent wisely, save some." She added with a distressed look, "If the money is not enough,
Get it from me again."
After getting the money from the roommate, she immediately made arrangements. Of course she couldn't spend all the five hundred taels of silver on those poor people. She had to make this trip so hard that she had to keep at least two hundred taels as hard work expenses.
Mrs. Chen clutched her chest. She said that her chest pain had become more and more frequent in the past two days. If she hadn't been afraid of the news, she would have seen a doctor long ago.
I don't know how long this pain will last.
Mrs. Chen had no choice but to do something to divert her attention.
Mrs. Chen found a set of ruby headscarfs, which her grandmother had specially given to her when she got married.
She thought for a while and called her nanny, "You personally give this noodle to Yin Yin, just say it's my aunt's wish."
If she wants her mother-in-law to agree to the marriage, she still has to show her sincerity. She is now over forty years old, and is not suitable for wearing such bright jewelry, which will not look solemn enough.
Anyway, no matter how many things you send here now, when Yinyin gets married, won’t you bring them with you?
After comforting herself in this way, Mrs. Chen no longer felt so distressed.
…
Because they have opened an escort agency in the state capital, it is much easier for the Yuan family to collect information than before.
It didn't take long for Su Yueling to receive the news that Chen Youfei's marriage had been finalized and the wedding invitations had been exchanged. The bride was his cousin, Mrs. Chen's niece Zheng Yin, who was two years younger than Chen Youfei.
Su Yueling was surprised. Mrs. Chen was trying to deceive her mother's family. The two families had just gotten engaged, and the news spread immediately. She guessed that it must have been spread by Mrs. Chen to refute the rumors.
Isn't she worried that her mother's family will sever ties with her after knowing the truth? Or does she think that for the sake of the family's reputation, she will choose to swallow it when she learns the truth in the future. After all, Mrs. Chen is also a member of the Zheng family. If her reputation is bad,
, it will more or less affect the reputation of the girl from her mother's family.
Although Baoshu's crisis had been resolved, Su Yueling still couldn't turn a blind eye when she thought of an innocent girl falling into the fire without knowing it.
She looked down on people like Chen Youfei. If she really loved his old sweetheart, she would marry him, or she would never marry another woman for the rest of her life.
She asked Lao Song, the deputy steward of the escort bureau who sent the news, "Didn't anyone else in the prefecture find out about Chen Youfei?"
Old Song shook his head, "Chen Youfei behaved clean and collected outside. He also said that he yearned for the lifelong relationship in the book, and said that he would never take a concubine after his cousin comes in."
After this declaration spread, many people regretted not getting married to the Chen family before. This marriage more or less restored Mrs. Chen's reputation.
If their escort hadn't received the letter from the madam and the master, knew about the trick in advance, and kept an eye on the Nanfeng Pavilion, they wouldn't have noticed this.
Lao Song told what he had investigated, "Every time Chen Youfei goes to the Nanfeng Pavilion, he will disguise himself and darken his skin, so unless he bumps into an acquaintance, he will not be recognized.
His best friend is a waiter from Nanfeng Pavilion named Zhan Ling. In order to appear upright with him in front of others, Chen Youfei told the public two days ago that Zhan Ling saved him from accidentally falling into the water and used this as an excuse to redeem his life.
People called him Brother Ling, bought him a house, and gave him a lot of property."
Su Yueling understood that with this so-called life-saving grace, there would be a logical reason for the two of them to move around in the future. And no matter how good Chen Youfei was to Zhan Ling, outsiders would not think wrong about it, but would praise him for his kindness.
Bao, who has no regard for family status, can treat people with gentleness even if he is from a humble background like Zhan Ling.
Mrs. Chen was probably also afraid that the true relationship between Chen Youfei and Zhan Ling would be exposed, which would affect her son's reputation, so she acquiesced in this happening.
There was a touch of disdain in Lao Song's eyes, "Not only that, we have been keeping an eye on the two of them, so we also found out that Chen Youfei had made two sets of wedding clothes, and they happened to be the same size as him and Zhan Ling."
Su Yueling was surprised, "Does he want to secretly marry Zhan Ling?"
"It's a true love that touches the heavens and the earth."
Su Yueling said in a weird voice. If Chen Youfei dared to marry Zhan Ling in front of others, then she would still respect him as a man. His actions could only move her.
Baoshu's fists were hardened when she heard this, and her face turned red with anger, "This young master of the Chen family is too disgusting."
Thinking that Mrs. Chen had previously wanted to arrange a marriage between her and Chen Youfei, Baoshu was as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly, and she felt infinite sympathy for the Miss Zheng whom she had never met.
Su Yueling thought for a while and said, "Write a few more letters to the Zheng family and tell them the true relationship between Chen Youfei and Zhan Ling. Also tell them about their plan to get married secretly in private."
"By the way, you can write those letters like this."
She didn't believe that the Zheng family could bear such a tone and tolerate Chen Youfei burying their own girl like this. As for what the Zheng family would do, that was their own choice.
She should be reminded.
Yuan Baoshu opened her mouth and said, "Ah, if you write it like this, will Miss Zheng feel very uncomfortable?"
Su Yueling said: "If you write it like this, it will be easier to win her trust."
Yuan Baoshu thought it made sense.
Lao Song immediately returned to the state capital to arrange the matter.
Su Yueling felt that with how much they valued reputation, even if they wanted to break off the engagement, they should choose a relatively decent method in the eyes of outsiders. Regardless of whether the marriage was successful or not, Chen Youfei's authenticity would probably be concealed by both families.
However, Su Yueling had already made plans. She would remind Chen Youfei once when he discussed marriage.
