Han Yanqiu sneered, and looking at Bai Chen's gloating expression, he hated him to the extreme.
"You invited all the noble ladies in the capital that day, and the young masters all went to the Duke's Mansion!
Who would be so conscientious as to tell the truth? I am also very curious! "
Bai Chen rubbed his chin with his fingers, tilted his head slightly as he thought, with a comfortable smile on his face.
“Miss Lin, what are you talking about?” As expected, Miss Han refused to admit it even if she was beaten to death, and she was so angry that she burst into tears again, “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.
That incident was clearly someone framing me."
“Am I really talking nonsense
Miss Han, will it be useful if you come to my house and say that you were framed
In order to find out who is framing you, how about you file a petition with the government?"
"... Why do you keep mentioning the government? It's not a matter of life and death."
Han Yanqiu frowned and stared at Bai Chen.
Regarding the rumors in the capital, her first suspect was of course Lin Xuezhi. Even if she was not the one who spread them, the blame would still be put on her.
"That's right! No one died, so why are you afraid? Just pretend you didn't hear it!" Bai Chen continued to speak in an indifferent tone.
Han Yanqiu: "... It's really easy to talk without any pain in the waist."
Bai Chen thought about it for a while, and enthusiastically gave Han Yanqiu some advice, "In order to clear up those rumors that are unfavorable to you, why don't you post a notice in the capital.
The notice states that Miss Xiao's fall into the water was purely accidental, and you have no improper thoughts about Lin Xuezhi's future husband, Guan Jun Hou.
It would be best to put a written oath on the notice.
For example, if you, Han Yanqiu, had any intention of coveting the champion Hou Yi Chongxuan, you would definitely be struck by lightning.
In this way, wouldn't your reputation be saved
It's such a simple thing! Why are you running to the Lin family to talk nonsense? "
"Ah!" Han Yanqiu's brain was stuck and he stared at Bai Chen blankly.
If she really issues a notice, she can really clear her name, but in this case, she will never be able to find the love of her life again.
I have been planning this for so many years, how can I just give up? Absolutely not.
Therefore, Han Yanqiu was obviously very coveting other people's husbands, so how could she possibly swear to heaven
Recently, the Han family has been particularly uneasy. Her father, Lord Han Guo, is having a tantrum behind closed doors!
She kept scolding her for bringing shame to the Han family and she was almost punished by the family rules.
As a result, she didn't treat her mother well either.
During the past month, he has only doted on his concubines and never even looked at her mother.
The reason why she had to come to the Lin family this time was, of course, also because of the threat from her father.
What her father meant was that she should either find a way to save face herself.
Otherwise, just make this matter a reality, quickly dethrone the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and marry the Marquis Guanjun yourself.
The Han family's family background and status in the court are actually inferior to those of the Lin family.
It is almost hopeless to earn it honestly.
From the perspective of family interests, both the Han and Lin families wanted to marry into the Yi family, but the Han and Lin families had never gotten along, and the two sides often competed in the court.
This incident brought disgrace to the Han family and made them the target of ridicule by some officials.
In order to save the Han family's reputation, there is actually only one way to go, which is to make Yi Chongxuan love only Han Mingqiu and marry her.
But is this really possible
Before the bad reputation spread, there might have been hope, but after this incident, it becomes difficult.
But no matter what, you have to give it a try. If you can't win openly, then try it secretly.
The shady tricks, of course, are the ones used between women.
When Han Yanqiu recalled his father's attitude towards this matter, he forced a hypocritical smile on his face, with an expression that was almost pleading, "Miss Lin, I actually have an idea, do you think it will work?"
"Oh! What do you think?" Bai Chen looked very curious and leaned forward as if he was very considerate.
"Miss Han, you're welcome. You are a guest. If you have any ideas, just tell us."
Han Yanqiu looked at Bai Chen, who seemed polite but was actually contemptuous, and hesitated for a long time.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Miss Lin, we have always had a good relationship. Don't let that incident create any rift between us."
"Oh! Are you on good terms?" Bai Chen smiled very ambiguously.
Ever since Lin Xuezhi got engaged to Marquis Guanjun, Han Yanqiu always had a reason to gather all the noble ladies in the capital together.
It’s either a flower party or a tea party, and they spend a lot of money preparing lots of delicious and fun things.
She is always enthusiastic, courteous and does things very neatly.
And her enthusiasm for Lin Xuezhi seemed to be even greater than that for other girls.
But Lin Xuezhi was too cold. She always asked ten questions and answered only one, which made her feel at a loss as to where to start.
When the noble ladies in the capital saw this, they all felt that the rumors were true. Lin Xuezhi was indeed very boring and dull.
Then, of course, Miss Xiao took the lead in boycotting Lin Xuezhi, saying that she was not worthy of the title of Champion.
Then the entire circle of noble ladies began to discriminate against her and even hate her, thinking that their gods had been defiled by Lin Xuezhi, a pile of cow dung.
Han Yanqiu hesitated for a while, then pleaded, "Miss Lin, although we are not that close, we can at least get by. Can you help me
All you have to do is issue a notice in your name, stating that we are close friends and that the rumors are completely false.
Or, in your name, invite all the sisters in the capital to have a small gathering and make everyone believe that the rumor is completely false."
"Pfft... Haha!" Upon hearing this, Bai Chen laughed unkindly, "Miss Han, are we really just acquaintances?"
Han Yanqiu: "Although it's not the case now, as long as you post the notice, I will treat you with empathy and be your good sister from now on."
"Oh!" Bai Chen was extremely surprised!
There used to be many women in the capital who were eager to make friends with her, and some girls even followed her lead.
But Lin Xuezhi is not included.
She had never thought of becoming friends with Han Yanqiu.
What's more, her evil face has been exposed and her reputation has become bad. How can she be confident that others would be willing to be her friends
Then, Han Yanqiu continued, "Ms. Lin, you are actually a very talented girl, but why is there no one as talented as you in the capital
Instead, he only has a reputation of being honest, dull, boring and weak
Talent and reputation also need to be promoted.
As long as Miss Lin and I become good sisters, within ten days, your talent and fame will be known to men, women, young and old throughout the capital."
Bai Chen finally got some interest in what he said, "I see, so Miss Han's reputation for talent is all just boasting!
No wonder I have a bad reputation. People say I am weak, stingy, dull, boring, and sickly. Is this also your work?"
When he said the last few words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Your reputation for talent is blown up, and so is my reputation for mediocrity."
The reason why Lin Xuezhi became more and more withdrawn and less and less confident was of course related to those rumors.
Because of her reputation, the noble ladies in the capital were unwilling to make friends with her. Even if they met her occasionally, they would look at her with disdain.
