The sharpest knife in the world is not the sword in the hands of soldiers, but the knife that pierces people's hearts, called rumors.
Rumors are like knives, every word pierces people's hearts, making them miserable.
The most poisonous thing among them is the rumors that are made out of nothing. Sometimes, just a casual word can ruin someone's life.
This is the knife Ji Yunkai is using now...
Her words were made out of nothing, but there were traces of them, making them sound true...
No, as soon as her words came out, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but look at Miss Qiu, and then at Butler Xiao...
These two people... seem to have a close friendship.
The Prince of Yanbei's Mansion has not had a master for many years, but Miss Qiu went to live in Prince Yanbei's Mansion for more than half a year when the Prince was out. Is this really because of the Prince?
Butler Xiao helped Miss Qiu so much and even gave the North Courtyard where Princess Yanbei lived to Miss Qiu to live in. Do these two people really have nothing?
You must know that the housekeeper of Yanbei Palace is also a well-known person in Yanbei. A mere Qiu family cannot bribe him. Unless housekeeper Xiao is willing, the Qiu family cannot threaten housekeeper Xiao to help Miss Qiu.
Of course, these are not the point. The point is that they dislike Miss Qiu and the Qiu family, and they are willing to believe this story.
Anyway, this matter is just for everyone to chat about, and it is not a case for the government to judge. What evidence is needed.
At the beginning, Miss Qiu, with her red lips and white teeth, said that the prince liked her and wanted to marry her as his concubine. He also said that the prince invited her to live in Yanbei Palace and gave her the power of housekeeping of the palace. Wasn't there no evidence?
Miss Qiu can say it, why can't they...
"It turns out that this is the relationship between you two. Let me tell you, Miss Qiu doesn't go home, but she insists on doing something in Prince Yanbei's palace. It turns out that she is a lover."
"Miss Qiu has always said that the prince likes her and wants to make her his concubine. We really believed it. Now we understand that this is a smoke bomb deliberately thrown by Miss Qiu so that we cannot discover the truth."
"It's really not easy for Miss Qiu. No wonder she tried her best to stay in the palace and did not hesitate to use the prince as a cover. With Butler Xiao's status and age...the Qiu family will never agree."
"Poor, pitiful..."
…
The five ladies, you and I discussed this matter seriously.
Miss Qiu was about to explode with anger, "No, that's not the case. I have nothing to do with this old guy. I came to Prince Yanbei's Mansion because of the prince. Don't talk nonsense."
"Hmph..." Mrs. Zhang sarcastically said, "Miss Qiu, don't get excited. Paper can't contain the fire. This matter will come out sooner or later. It's better to come out now than any other secret relationship between you and Butler Xiao.
Is it okay to come out?"
Don't talk nonsense?
They are allowed to talk nonsense to Qiu's family, but they can't even say a few words?
A word from the Qiu family destroyed her son, and they were afraid that her daughter-in-law would be killed. But now they said a few words, which was unbearable.
"You... shut up!" Miss Qiu angrily rushed towards Mrs. Zhang. The servant next to Mrs. Zhang saw this, stepped forward and pushed her away rudely: "Miss Qiu, please respect yourself."
"You..." Miss Qiu fell to the ground and her hands were bleeding, but no one sympathized with her.
People must respect themselves, and others will respect them; people must despise themselves, and others will despise them.
Miss Qiu has no self-respect or self-love. She is what she is today because of it. She cannot blame others.
Ji Yunkai couldn't sympathize with Miss Qiu: "Miss Qiu, the servants in the palace are not sensible and have made the palace a mess. I am going to seal the Yanbei Palace and deal with the matter when the prince comes back. However, you can continue to work in Yanbei.
If you live in Beiwang Mansion, Butler Xiao will also live there."
"I can't stop! I'm leaving, I'm leaving now!" Miss Qiu looked at Ji Yunkai with murderous eyes.
live?
How else to live?
If Ji Yunkai continues to live there, she may even give birth to Butler Xiao's child.
"Are you leaving now? Are you really not going to continue living here? Miss Qiu is a distinguished guest of Butler Xiao, and Butler Xiao is a person that the old prince values. You will be fine even if you stay in Prince Yanbei's palace. The prince and I won't mind.
"." Ji Yunkai not only tied Miss Qiu and Butler Xiao together, but also dragged Butler Xiao into the water.
"Princess, you must not insult my innocence. I have served two generations of masters in Yanbei Palace. I am loyal to Yanbei Palace. Princess, do you have any evidence for slandering me like this?" Butler Xiao was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
He had never seen anyone more unreasonable than Ji Yunkai, and it made him so angry.
"Slander? You didn't invite Miss Qiu to move in? You didn't arrange for Miss Qiu to move in to the North Courtyard? You didn't ask Miss Qiu to help you with the housekeeping? These things... But you and Miss Qiu said it yourself, so why did I, the princess, slander you?
You? Butler Xiao
, we have to explain this matter clearly. I have just arrived in Yanbei, and I don’t want to be the one to slander my servant.” Ji Yunkai sneered and sat down again, “I ruined my princess’s life for a servant.
The reputation is not worth it.”
Her body was weak after she was pregnant, and her waist ached after standing for a long time.
"Everything the princess said is true, we have all heard it." Before Butler Xiao could defend herself, Mrs. Xu spoke softly.
She could see that their princess was very capable, and was not afraid of the prince at all. She probably would eat him to death.
At this time, if you don't stand by the princess and don't show loyalty to the princess, you would be stupid and wasting a great opportunity.
"Yes, we all heard it. You and Miss Qiu said it yourself. Could it be that there is something wrong?" Mrs. Zhang and others also opened their mouths to help. Butler Xiao was so angry that his mouth was twisted and his stomach was full of anger, but he couldn't say a word.
Not coming out.
This matter... was done too passively. Why couldn't he calm down and wait until the princess entered the Yanbei Palace before he started to take action?
As long as the princess enters the Yanbei Palace, it is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Let alone letting him control it, even if the princess dies "accidentally", that is not a difficult matter.
However, he was too confident and ruined a good situation. Now if he could not control the princess, he could not even protect himself.
"Okay, seal the mansion. Ignore the servants in the mansion and let them stay in the palace until the prince comes back. Of course, don't forget to give them food so they don't starve to death." Ji Yunkai was too lazy to talk to Butler Xiao.
Nonsense, just give the order.
She already has the witnesses and confessions she wants, so what are you doing wasting your time here?
Butler Xiao committed the crime first, and there were many wives who testified that even if Butler Xiao made trouble with the old prince, she could still stand up and throw Butler Xiao out of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion.
With such a power-hungry and well-connected person staying in Prince Yanbei's Mansion, to tell the truth...she really didn't dare to enter Prince Yanbei's Mansion.
She's afraid, she doesn't know how she died... (To be continued)
