Yuan Qing Ling said: "I have asked Princess Ji to search for evidence. If it is confirmed that someone from the Chu family sent the news, we cannot let this matter go."
Aunt Xi looked at Yuan Qingling, her eyes were gloomy and she said: "Princess, why don't you just give up? Why don't you go to the Chu family to make a fuss? It's fine no matter what the fuss is, but it will also increase the conversation outside? Why bother? Forget it.
After a while, people outside said they got tired of it, and it would stop naturally."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Mommy, I know you feel uncomfortable. It is indeed useless to explain this matter, but the people who spread the rumors cannot let it go easily, otherwise, they will be even more outrageous in the future."
Grandma still waved her hand, "No, no, forget it, it doesn't matter who said it, it's the same. Don't make trouble again. After the trouble breaks out, I don't know how many unpleasant things will be said."
She took the broom and swept the floor, "Princess, don't worry, this old slave has experienced so many bloody storms in so many years? This little gossip can't hurt me."
Yuan Qingling looked at her gray face, her whole body was lifeless, like a walking zombie, and couldn't help feeling sad.
Since she left the palace and lived in the palace, she has been caring for her diligently and very thoughtfully.
And when she was treating the Supreme Emperor, even though she made a mistake later, he was the only one who gave her a warm look and treated her injuries and pain.
She really couldn't swallow this breath.
However, she still had to pay attention to her mother's attitude. She knew that her mother didn't really want to let it go, but she was just afraid that if the news continued to spread outside, some uglier words would be spread, and she couldn't bear it.
She sighed softly and asked Ah Si to help watch her grandma and try not to let her go outside as much as possible.
The next day Princess Ji came and told Yuan Qingling, "The rumors first spread in a teahouse. I ordered people to go to this teahouse to investigate and found that the first person who told the story was Aunt Zhou who was next to Mrs. Chu.
."
"Are you sure?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"Of course I'm sure. Everyone in the teahouse knows Grandma Zhou. This teahouse is owned by Mrs. Chu's cousin." Princess Ji looked at her coldly, "Do you doubt my ability to do things? Such a trivial matter is too big.
It’s really hard for me.”
"I know you have many eyes and ears, so I asked you to investigate. Yesterday, my words were a bit biased, so don't take it to heart." Yuan Qingling said calmly.
"Come on, don't chew sugar and shit, as long as Princess Chu thinks my life is still useful." Princess Ji said coldly.
Yuan Qingling smiled, "It's really useful."
Princess Ji said: "But, I have something to say beforehand. Don't ask me to deal with the Chu family. The Chu family and Princess Ji are going to get married. Before that, I don't want to provoke the Chu family."
"Oh? Has the marriage been decided?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Ji's eyes were sarcastic, "Didn't you already know that? You are right, Chu Shoufu will not listen to Chu Mingyang's words. Whether she goes on a hunger strike or commits suicide, even if she dies on the spot, Chu Shoufu will not let her get married.
For Lao Wu, the two families will continue to prepare for the wedding, which will be held on the third day of next month."
"Is it so urgent?" We are already twenty-three now, so there are still ten days left? And it happens to be two days after King Sun's birthday.
"Having it done early will save all parties from worrying about it." Princess Ji looked at her, "Aren't you happy? Your wish has been granted."
Yuan Qingling was not hypocritical and nodded: "I'm happy and relieved."
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Aren't you noble? By passing on the suffering to others, does that make you look noble?" Princess Ji saw her grinning and was very angry.
Yuan Qingling smiled mischievously, "It's hard work for those who can do it. I can't deal with Chu Mingyang, but my sister-in-law can. Does my sister-in-law take Chu Mingyang seriously? In front of my sister-in-law, Chu Mingyang is just a clown. She can strangle him to death with one thumb of her hand."
She got it."
When Princess Ji heard what she said, she took another breath and said calmly: "That's all, my life is in your hands, whatever you say is what I want, how can I dare to resist?"
Yuan Qingling rarely said softly: "I am very happy that my sister-in-law thinks so. It shows that my sister-in-law is a person who understands current affairs and it is a pleasure to cooperate!"
Princess Ji had a sullen face and said nothing, but the disgust was obviously fading in her eyes.
She hated Yuan Qing Ling's condescending attitude, but even if she didn't really show weakness, it turned out to be very useful.
After Princess Ji left, Yuan Qingling asked Xu Yi to go out for a walk and sit in a teahouse and tavern. When Xu Yi came back, he said angrily: "This subordinate has fought many battles with others."
Yuan Qingling asked: "What's going on? I asked you to go out to inquire and you still got into a fight?"
Xu Yi said angrily: "Those people have shit in their mouths and the stench is unbearable. You were not there to hear it. If you heard it, you would probably go crazy and beat them."
Yuan Qingling frowned, "Are you really saying that so harshly?"
"Isn't that true?" Xu Yi snorted, "They said that Mammy had tried her best to climb into Chu Shoufu's bed. They said that she was shameless, licentious, and even different from many of the Imperial Guards in the palace back then.
What... what does it have to do with it? She committed adultery in the palace, and even the Imperial Guards were executed because of her. However, she relied on the Supreme Emperor's trust in her to ignore them completely. The names of the Imperial Guards who were executed were revealed. What was their name?
Yu.”
"Fang Yu?" Yuan Qingling said angrily: "You even have a name, it's really a fabrication that has no bottom line."
Xu Yizheng was about to say more, but when he looked up, he saw Ah Si waving his hands vigorously at the door.
Xu Yiyi was startled and hurriedly walked out, only to see Grandma Xi turning around and leaving. She was holding on to the railing of the corridor and walking very slowly.
Xu Yi turned back to look at Yuan Qingling, and said somewhat at a loss: "Mother Xi heard it."
Yuan Qing Ling An couldn't help but hurriedly chased after her and stopped Aunt Xi.
Aunt Xi showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying, "Don't worry, Princess. Rumors can't hurt this old slave."
Yuan Qingling watched her walking slowly, her back looking lonely and sad, which was really heartbreaking.
Yuan Qingling talked about this matter with Yu Wenhao at night.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "What did the Chu family say? You don't want to die?"
"How do you say that?" Yuan Qing was stunned and asked.
"It would be strange if Chu Shoufu didn't go crazy after hearing these words," he immediately shrugged, "but Chu Shoufu will not hear these words."
"Why can't you hear it? People are talking about it in the streets and alleys now." Yuan Qing Ling said.
"So you think Chu Shoufu has time to walk in the streets every day? The people below will definitely filter out the rumors about him and prevent him from knowing. Otherwise, how could the Chu family dare to let this rumor out? This is completely disrespectful.
I came here because of Aunt Xi, this rumor will not hurt Chu Shoufu at all, and Chu Shoufu will not know about it," Yu Wenhao said.
Yuan Qingling said angrily: "It's true, if he doesn't know now, he won't know it in the future. The rumors died down after spreading for a while. When they were mentioned later, there was no way to trace them. I asked Princess Ji to find out, and planned to go there."
The Chu family went to seek justice, but grandma said she didn’t want to make trouble. Today, when grandma heard what Xu Yi said to me, I could see her heart bleeding, but I don’t know how to comfort her.
It's useless for me to comfort you."
Yu Wenhao thought for a while and said: "You didn't go to the Chu family to cause trouble. You just need to tell Chu Shoufu about this matter, and Chu Shoufu will naturally handle it."
