Yuan Qinqin was furious, but she still had to explain quietly: "I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation. I was just here to send my brother to the examination room. I just walked over and heard her say such unlucky words. I was also worried that you, Brother Fang, would be affected."
At this time, Prince Yuan also said with a smile: "It's just a small misunderstanding, Brother Shaohua, you don't have to care so much, right? And Qinqin, you should be more careful with your words next time."
Yuan Qinqin nodded with a smile: "Okay, brother, I understand."
Fang Shaohua was angry, but such an occasion was not suitable for venting. He just glanced at Yuan Qinqin coldly and said, "Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent. It seems that the Yuan family didn't teach this."
After saying that, he pulled Tong Ruyan to the other side, continued talking for a while, then turned and entered the examination room.
Tong Ruyan also planned to go home and come back to pick her up after the exam three days later. But she had just taken two steps when she was stopped by Yuan Qinqin.
"Miss Yuan, is there anything wrong?"
Yuan Qinqin was just in a bad mood because Fang Shaohua had just scolded her mercilessly, so she subconsciously stopped Tong Ruyan.
Now being asked by Tong Ruyan, Yuan Qinqin frowned and snorted: "Don't think I don't know your background. I know everything about you before."
Tong Ruyan was shocked when she heard this, and her heart was beating hard. But she forced herself to calm down: "I don't know what you mean by this? Is there anything shameful about me? What happened to my past?"
She was testing him. Her brother had said that he would take care of everything and that no one would find out about her past. Now even their old village was gone. She didn't believe that the Yuan family was so powerful. Even if she went to her brother's territory, would anyone be able to find out about her past
Yuan Qinqin frowned, thinking about the information her elder sister had found. She snorted and whispered two words in Tong Ruyan's ear: "Brothel."
Tong Ruyan looked at Yuan Qinqin with a puzzled look and raised her eyebrows: "I don't know what you mean by this? Could it be that Miss Yuan is interested in such a place at such a young age? What my husband said just now is not wrong. The family education of your Yuan family is indeed worthy of suspicion."
Yuan Qinqin looked at Tong Ruyan who seemed to be really unaware and was a little confused. Could it be that it was really not true? She looked at Tong Ruyan and said, "Keep pretending. You have been in a brothel. This is a fact."
Tong Ruyan stared at Yuan Qinqin with an angry look on her face: "Miss Yuan, I don't mind that you like my husband, but if you wrongly accuse me and destroy my reputation, don't blame me for being rude."
Yuan Qinqin laughed: "It seems that you are anxious, prove that what I said is true."
Tong Ruyan couldn't figure out this person, could it be that there was some evidence? No, she couldn't panic, she took a deep breath, looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go and ask Fuyou County Lady to come over and ask her to make the decision for me."
Yuan Qinqin looked at Tong Ruyan in confusion. Why did she invite Cao Suixin? You have to know that this person is very evil. When they confront her, Cao Suixin is never the one who suffers.
"Why did you ask her to do that? I'm talking about your business. You've been to a brothel before, you're not worthy of Brother Fang at all. If I were you, I would have killed myself a long time ago. How could I have the nerve to follow Brother Fang and be an official's wife? It's really shameless."
Tong Ruyan smiled: "Who is shameless? That's my husband, you keep calling him Brother Fang. It's shameless to covet someone else's husband, but you still want to slander my reputation and throw dirty water on me. I don't believe it. There is no law in Kyoto."
"Since you are still a young girl, I'm asking the county lady to make the decision. I'm already treating you well by not sending you to the government office."
Anyway, she believed in her brother, and everything had been arranged. Moreover, there were also means of the King and the Queen. The identities of the girls in Tongjia Village were all secrets, and no one would know them.
Yuan Qinqin looked at Tong Ruyan's calmness and began to wonder in her heart, could it be that she was really mistaken? Otherwise, this woman was too strong in her heart.
Not long after, Cao Suixin arrived. After all, she was worried about Tong Ruyan going back alone, so she came with her, but she did not get off the carriage, but waited in it.
Who would have thought that just walking down a few steps could cause trouble? "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the two women, Yuan Qinqin and Yuan Xiangxiang, standing beside her. She frowned instantly: "These two are causing trouble again. Really? What do they want to do this time?"
These two women, no, it should be said that it was Yuan Qinqin, who refused to give up and kept smearing Tong Ruyan. This matter even caused several jokes!
Yuan Qinqin frowned and said nothing. Tong Ruyan spoke angrily, "She wronged me, saying that I was a prostitute. I am also a girl from a good family, but she falsely accused me just because she coveted my husband. So please, county lady, make the decision for me."
Cao Suixin widened his eyes and looked at Yuan Qinqin: "Yuan Qinqin, are you really shameless? How can you say such a thing? Oh my God, let's go to the government office. This matter today concerns the reputation of my sister-in-law, and we must clarify it."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she mentioned the government. Yuan Qinqin felt that she couldn't be timid at this time: "She has been to a brothel before, and she is a brothel girl. This is a fact."
Cao Suixin's face looked ugly, because Yuan Qinqin said this loudly, and many people turned their heads to look over here and started pointing and talking.
"What's going on? That lady looks so dignified and elegant, but she actually came from a brothel?"
Cao Sui was so angry: "What? Who is my sister-in-law? Can you say anything based on your empty words? Someone, report to the police! This princess doesn't believe it. It's really not against the law to talk nonsense."
Then he turned around and glanced at the people who were pointing and talking: "Everyone, listen to me, this lady is my sister-in-law, and my eldest brother is Fang Shaohua who just entered the examination room. This is the second daughter of the Yuan family, I'm sure you have heard of her."
"This second daughter of the Yuan family has taken a fancy to my eldest brother. She originally just shamelessly approached my eldest brother, but now she has falsely accused my sister-in-law of being from a brothel. Although my sister-in-law was born in a small county town, she is from a family that knows my master very well. How could she be from a brothel?"
Princess Fuyou can be said to be a celebrity in Kyoto. Everyone knows that she is Qian Jiujiu's apprentice. Now that they heard that this lady actually knew Princess Bingjian, they all believed what Cao Suixin said.
Cao Suixin watched as those people pointed fingers at Yuan Qinqin, and then he spoke again: "Also, now it's my turn to say one more thing. The wedding of my sister-in-law and my eldest brother was officiated by Prince Bingjian."
"The prince values my elder brother so much, how could he allow a woman from a brothel to be my elder brother's wife. Miss Yuan, it's okay if you don't go to the government office today. I'll make the decision. You just apologize and the matter will be settled."
Yuan Qinqin was furious and hadn't said anything yet, but Yuan Xiangxiang spoke up: "In fact, we can go to the county government office. Why not? As long as this girl is really innocent, we are willing to apologize."
"But if she really came from a brothel, shouldn't she ask to leave Brother Fang? And my sister is just straightforward, the county lady is too aggressive. Brother Fang is a talented person, it's normal for my sister to admire him."
"It is precisely because she admires Brother Fang and learned that Brother Fang was deceived and married a prostitute that she came forward to testify. The county lady forced someone to apologize like this, and it seems that she is guilty. Could it be that there is really something wrong with the origin of this girl?"
Cao Sui was so angry: "If that's the case, then let's go to the government office. The eloquence of the eldest daughter of the Yuan family is still as good as ever. She is so admiring of Brother Fang that she can use such a despicable method to deal with my sister-in-law. She is really amazing."
"I just wonder if Miss Yuan will be like your sister in the future and fall in love with someone else's husband. If so, she will have to give up. Otherwise, she will be ruined at the least. The worst case scenario is that she will lose her life."
"Also, you just said that the eldest brother of the Fang family was deceived, and the person who presided over the wedding was my master and great-grandmaster. What's the matter? Do you think my master and great-grandmaster would lie? This is a matter of reputation for the Bingjian Palace, and we must clarify it."
This matter involved the Bingjian Palace, so it was no longer a small matter. The people around did not dare to speak at this time, for fear of getting into trouble.
But everyone in their hearts tends to think that the second young lady of the Yuan family has fallen in love with someone else's man, so she wants him to leave and destroy his reputation!
Tong Ruyan had been standing by, and her eyes turned red when she heard Cao Suixin's words. Cao Suixin patted Tong Ruyan's hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. You are kind and don't like to quarrel with others. I am here! I won't let anyone bully you easily."
Yuan Qinqin was so angry: "I told the truth."
Cao Suixin said the same thing: "Facts? Show me the evidence. I have evidence here. My sister-in-law grew up in the countryside, and there is household registration to prove it. She has never been far away from home. Later, it was my sister-in-law's eldest brother who went out to do business and brought my sister-in-law out from the countryside."
"And because my sister-in-law's eldest brother knew Brother Fang, he asked someone to act as a matchmaker and married my sister-in-law. These things are known to everyone in Xianyou Town. How come she was born in a brothel when you said she had a clean background?"
When the two got married, the county magistrate presided over the wedding, which caused a sensation in Fangjia Village and Xianyou Town. It is not wrong to say so.
Yuan Qinqin opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
