Chen Yaying muttered dissatisfiedly, "Everyone is saying these things, why do others say it's okay, but I say it's okay?"
"Sister Ying!" Mrs. Chen's tone was a little harsher.
Fu Zhao smiled bitterly, "Mother, don't blame sister Ying, she is right. And I don't think there is anything wrong with it, so don't let sister Ying shut up and think about it. I don't know why there are so many things about me in the Hou Mansion.
gossip."
Qian laughed and said angrily: "There can be no waves without wind."
Fu Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and there were some tears in her clear eyes, but she didn't look weak at all.
"Second sister-in-law, what you said is just a stab in my heart? If the prince comes back, how should I face him? I don't know who is spreading these groundless rumors in order to harm me. But
Whatever her goal was, she achieved it."
Fu Zhao's beautiful face showed determination and decisiveness, "Mother, when the prince comes back, can you please tell the prince that I have a clear conscience! Today, I will die to prove my innocence!"
With that said, Fu Zhao hit the wall.
Everyone in the room was startled, Liangsui and Siqi quickly hugged Fu Zhao.
Liangsui cried: "You are going to die, take your slave with you! I have been serving you for more than ten years, but have you ever heard these rumors? I don't know who killed Qian Dao, and deliberately poured dirty water on you!"
Si Qi also cried and said: "When the Crown Prince comes back, how will I explain to the Crown Prince!"
Fu Zhao only shed tears and pursed her red lips tightly.
Qian was shocked, she didn't expect that Fu Zhao could do this.
When Mrs. Chen and Mr. Ma saw this, they went over to persuade Fu Zhao.
Mrs. Chen said: "Fifth daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will find out what's going on behind your back and make you innocent."
Mrs. Chen had heard of these rumors a long time ago, but she was too lazy to take care of them and allowed the rumors to get worse.
But now, she couldn't care less.
With Mrs. Chen's assurance, Fu Zhao stopped crying and said softly and softly: "Thank you very much, mother. Please be sure to give me my innocence."
Qian was secretly annoyed that the situation she had worked so hard to create did not expect it to end like this.
She was filled with regret, and Fu Zhao's appearance would prove that the rumors were false and would not cause any harm to Fu Zhao.
Mrs. Qian glanced at the taciturn Mrs. Zhao, and said in a strange tone: "Aren't you and your fifth younger sister the best friends? Why don't you go and comfort her?"
Mrs. Zhao only frowned and said nothing.
Qian wanted to provoke some more words, but Mrs. Chen glanced at her.
Mrs. Chen urged: "Second daughter-in-law, why don't you come over quickly and apologize to the fifth daughter-in-law?"
Qian walked over reluctantly and said, "Fifth brother and sister, it's my fault that I said the wrong thing, so don't argue with me."
Fu Zhao nodded silently.
After everyone finished choosing the satin, they left Mrs. Chen's place.
After Qian left, he quietly returned.
Mrs. Chen stepped back and asked straight to the point: "Did you spread these rumors?"
Qian was about to lie, but in Mrs. Chen's insightful eyes, she nodded anyway.
"No wonder, I should have guessed it was yours." Mrs. Chen said, there was no anger in her tone.
Qian said regretfully: "It's just that these rumors must be put to rest."
"Isn't that right? She has come out like this and it won't work unless she calms down. It's just that some of the rumors you spread are too outrageous, such as her and her cousin..."
"That's not a rumor," Qian said hurriedly, "that's the truth!"
Mrs. Chen frowned, "Where did you hear that? Are you so sure?"
"I sent someone to the Fu family to inquire, and I found out. It is said that it was said by the personal maid of the third lady of the Fu family. It is definitely correct," Qian said, "Why don't we use this matter to make a good use of it?
"
Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "Well, if the fifth daughter-in-law is really good or bad, how can I explain it to the Marquis and the prince? When the prince went to the border to kill the enemy, because of my unfavorable stewardship, the fifth daughter-in-law was forced to death by rumors.
? Even though I have solved my fifth daughter-in-law by then, my strength will be severely damaged."
She recalled Fu Zhao's resolute look at that time, and she was sure that if no one was holding him back, Fu Zhao would really dare to die to prove his innocence.
Qian had no choice but to give up, "Listen to mother. By the way, I will ask mother to call everyone here tomorrow. I have something to say."
"What's up?"
Qian smiled mysteriously, "We'll find out tomorrow."

When Fu Zhao returned to his room, the tears on his face had dried.
At this moment, her eyes were as peaceful as an ancient well.
Liangsui fetched water and wiped Fu Zhao's face.
Fu Zhao sat on the couch and felt refreshed after wiping his face.
After so many days, Liangsui finally smiled and said, "Great, no one will dare to talk nonsense behind my back anymore."
Siqi said: "But the way you looked just now scared us. If we didn't catch you immediately, I'm afraid you would really hit the wall."
Fu Zhao smiled slightly, "If the acting is not the same as the real thing, how can others believe it?"
Under Mrs. Chen's vigorous and resolute methods, the rumors about Fu Zhao that were secretly circulating in the Hou Mansion were resolved by evening.
Mrs. Chen found out a few servants who were fanning the flames behind the scenes, and immediately called Ya Po to sell those people.
From then on, no one dared to say anything about Fu Zhao behind his back.
The next day, Mrs. Chen called everyone to her place again.
Halfway through, Fu Zhao met Su Yurong, and they went to Mrs. Chen's place together.
Su Yurong whispered: "My cousin scared me yesterday. Please don't do this next time. Life is of course the most important thing in this world. As long as you are alive, there is hope."
Su Yurong only said these words to Fu Zhao, with whom she was close.
Fu Zhao knew that Su Yurong was doing it for her own good, so she nodded solemnly.
The two walked for a while and met Zhao again.
Fu Zhao then asked: "Fourth sister-in-law, how are you doing, Sister Rui?"
Mrs. Zhao just lowered her head and said quickly: "It's okay."
After saying that, she seemed to be avoiding something and walked quickly into Mrs. Chen's house.
Su Yurong was surprised, "What's wrong with my fourth cousin? It seems like something is wrong."
"I don't know either, let's go in quickly." Fu Zhao also felt that Zhao was acting strangely these days.
The two entered the house.
When Mrs. Chen saw Fu Zhao, she pulled him over to greet him.
Fu Zhao smiled politely, knowing in his heart that it was just a joke.
Mrs. Chen must have known about those rumors about her for a long time.
But Mrs. Chen was willing to step in to calm Fu Zhao after he made a fuss, which shows that Mrs. Chen is not completely trustworthy.
