However, within three or two days, the original rumors that Xie Rulan had been released had been extinguished. Not only that, but the matter in the capital about her being disliked by a little guard became more and more serious. Suddenly, Xie Rulan was pushed to the forefront and became the laughing stock of the entire capital.
"This is called shooting yourself in the foot."
Qian Bi smiled proudly, clapped her hands in relief, turned around and saw Xie Ruzhuo looking thoughtful, and immediately said, "Miss, are you listening to me?"
Xie Ruzhuo came to his senses and smiled and said, "Of course I'm listening." The reason why this rumor was suppressed so quickly was probably because of that person's involvement.
Qian Bi didn't know what she was thinking, so she just chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, this third lady deserves it. Who told her to have bad ideas about others, but she wants to have King Jing's ideas in mind."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Zhu walked in holding a snow-white dove and said, "Miss, your letter."
It really comes to whatever you want.
Xie Ruzhuo took the pigeon with some surprise, carefully took off the letter paper from its feet, and slowly unfolded it.
In the letter, Xiao Junxi briefly explained what she had done, and at the end she said euphemistically, "The mansion has been built, but I don't know how to make the flowers, birds, insects, and fish scenery. I would like some advice."
When Xie Ruzhuo saw this, he couldn't help but smile. He had long said that it was up to her to decide how to decorate Prince Jing's Mansion, but he was actually telling the truth.
After thinking about it, she got up and walked to the table, tilted her head and thought for a long time before writing a reply.
After all, the wedding ceremony has passed, and her wedding is one step closer.
Xie Ruzhuo was naturally in a good mood after receiving the letter from her lover. However, the atmosphere in the third room not far from her was not so harmonious.
In the house, Xie Rulan had just smashed the tea cup in his hand, and was so angry that he threw all the things he could get on the ground. He said bitterly, "This rumor must have been spread by Xie Ruzhuo's order! It's so deceptive!"
She thought she had a clever plan, but someone used new rumors to destroy the old rumors. Not only that, her reputation was also completely ruined. Not only will she have no hope of marrying Xiao Junxi in the future, but even if she marries someone else, others will weigh her against Xie Rulan! This is really unreasonable!
Xie Rulan was losing his temper in the house, but he didn't expect a woman's delicate laughter to suddenly come from outside the door, "Hey, what kind of anger is our third young lady having?"
The woman's voice was filled with obvious schadenfreude. It was none other than Ji Qing, who had just walked in.
Ever since she married Xie Huaiyang, she felt that she had never lived a comfortable life. Xie Huaiyang was away from home every day. Once he came back, he would probably make trouble with himself. As time passed, the conflict between Ji Qing and Ji Qing became more and more serious. Now that Ms. Lu was using excuses to ignore the matter, she didn't dare to go to Mr. Ji's place. The sullen anger she was holding in her heart had nowhere to vent, and it accumulated into a stream of evil fire.
After hearing about Xie Rulan's good show in the past two days, Ji Qing suddenly seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger. She cleaned herself up beautifully and vented her anger in Xie Rulan's yard.
Xie Rulan naturally knew that she was here to watch the fun, so she snorted coldly, "If you don't stay in the house, what are you doing here? Get out!"
She was in a bad mood, so her words were naturally not polite.
If it had been in the past, Ji Qing would have fallen out with her immediately. But when she thought of the rumors from outside today, Ji Qing smiled uncharacteristically and said, "I'm talking about Lan'er, it's not my sister-in-law who is talking about you. This person must be self-aware and don't think about things that don't belong to him."
As she said this, she said, "Otherwise, who will be harmed in the end? I am doing this for your own good, so you have to think about it carefully."
Xie Rulan was furious, and when he heard her words, he became even more angry and said in a cold voice, "What do I want to do to you? A dog takes a rat!"
Hearing this, Ji Qing immediately sneered and said, "Are you calling me a dog with a mouse? I'm not doing it for your own good. You don't understand good people's hearts. No wonder what you said outside is so unpleasant!"
Xie Rulan was stepped on the painful spot, and immediately cursed, "What are you saying about me? No matter what I do, I am much better than you, a woman who climbed into a man's bed before marriage!"
Ji Qing hates people mentioning this matter the most. When she saw Xie Rulan mentioning it, she immediately acted like a shrew, rushing to her side and grabbing her face, saying bitterly, "If you can, say it again, and see if I don't tear it apart." your mouth!"
Seeing her hitting him, Xie Rulan also gathered a wave of evil fire, and immediately refused to let her go, and the two started fighting together.
This woman's fight is nothing more than a few moves, scratching, pinching, biting, and kicking. The two men were of similar age, and their fighting techniques were similar. After several rounds, they could only hear shouts and curses in the room.
Jade originally went to bring refreshments to Xie Rulan, but was away for only a moment. When she came back, she saw that the room was already in chaos.
I saw that the two women on the ground had rolled into a ball, fighting and cursing at the same time. How could they still look like ladies? They are completely two street shrews.
Jade's face immediately turned pale with fright, and she was so busy that she shouted outside, "What are you doing here? Come here and pull away!"
But this person dared to enter the house, who would dare to start a fight? One is my young lady, and the other is my young master’s wife. Even if you are not favored, you are still the master!
That clever maid had gone directly to see Mrs. Lu early, hoping to get Mrs. Lu to help persuade the two of them to leave.
Who would have thought that when Mrs. Lu saw that her daughter was fighting with someone, she immediately went up to help her daughter start beating Ji Qing without caring about anything else!
Now it's complete. The three women put on a show, not only were they scolded and beaten, but the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors were also greeted.
The servants in the room were dumbfounded. Someone said, "Call the old lady quickly!"
Then some women ran towards Zizhuyuan.
When Ji came over knowing this, she saw that the three people's bodies and faces were all colorful, and their clothes were disheveled and their hairpins were scattered. Their faces were either black-eyed or blue, or they looked like they had opened a colorful shop. All colors are available.
Ji was so angry that she pounded the crutch in her hand and said, "What are you doing?"
Xie Rulan was the first to cry, "Grandma, you really should ask her this! I was fine in the house, but she came to provoke me, and she should hit me first!"
Ji Qing on the side was not to be outdone, "If you hadn't been a bitch and said something rude to me, would I have beaten you? Xie Rulan, you are so shameless. You failed to seduce your brother-in-law, but you didn't allow others to comfort you? Really? The dog bit Lu Dongbin!"
As soon as she said these words, Mrs. Lu immediately became unwilling, "What kind of good thing do you think you are? Ji Qing, how did you get married, who in this house doesn't know? Why are you here to comfort me? I think you are here. Looking for trouble!"
The three of them were going back and forth, and no one was willing to give in to the other. Suddenly, there were signs of fighting again.
Seeing the three people like this, Ji immediately said angrily, "Shut up!"
As soon as she said this, several people stopped talking at the same time and looked at her with some fear.
After all, she is the mistress of the family. No matter how arrogant the three of them are, they don't dare to act arrogantly in front of her.
"Not to mention whom to blame for what happened today, none of you are clear about it! Someone, please confine the third young lady and the third young lady to the house for a month! And you—"
When Mrs. Ji said this, she frowned and looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "As an elder, you actually have the same knowledge as the younger generation. The crime is aggravated. Go to the ancestral hall and copy the female ring! When will you copy it a hundred times? When will you do it again? come out!"
Ji's wife was angry this time. Xie Rulan and her mother looked at each other in disbelief. No one dared to refute, they agreed reluctantly, and then they went back to their rooms dejectedly.
Although this incident, which was neither big nor small, was over, it was enough to attract the attention of those who were interested.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't have much reaction to this. The three families never stopped, so they deserved their own punishment for being punished this time.
On the contrary, several maids in her room were excited about this for a long time. You know, these people are very annoying. Being able to see them being punished by the old lady makes me happy just thinking about it.
Prince Qi's Mansion.
In the evening, the fire clouds in the sky became more and more bright as blood.
Shen Jingci sat in the Ciyuan, leisurely brewing a cup of tea and drinking it slowly while listening to the servant report the accounts.
"Princess, this is our expenditure this month. As for our income—"
Before the butler finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted.
"Sister, it's quite a grand place here."
A female voice was heard, and then a woman was seen walking in first. He looked to be no more than 28 years old. He was wearing a gauze dress with gold and silver threads embroidered with birds and phoenixes on his upper body, and a gauze skirt with emerald lines on his lower body. He looked rich and noble.
Her appearance is not top-notch, but she has a majestic aura. It was Xiao Junhan's newly married concubine, Qin Wanyi.
Seeing the person coming, Shen Jingci's breath froze, and she turned away the sharpness in her eyes. She stood up, saluted and said with a smile, "It turns out to be the princess. I would like to pay my respects to the princess."
Qin Wanyi looked her up and down, and did not let her get up. She just said lightly, "I have not been in the palace for a long time, and I am not familiar with the things in the palace, so I would like to trouble my sister to teach me more. "
She pays the most attention to etiquette and rules at home and has always looked down on Shen Jingci. In her opinion, such frivolous behavior was not the behavior of a woman at all.
The other party didn't let her get up, so Shen Jingci held up her posture to salute. She secretly gritted her silver teeth, but she still had to keep a smile on her face, "I don't dare."
Qin Wanyi smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to be the best, but I am here today to ask, how come the accounts of the palace are in my sister's hands when I should be responsible for them?"
When Shen Jingci heard what she said, she immediately replied, "I also thought this was inappropriate, but the prince told me to do this, and he said I had to do it myself, so I took over the responsibility. I hope the princess will do it for me." Haihan.”
"Look at me, sister, why are you so polite? Get up quickly." Qin Wanyi seemed to suddenly remember, but said this without answering her words.
Shen Jingci's face froze and she stood up straight with a forced smile. Then she saw Qin Wanyi walking up to the housekeeper, taking the account and saying, "Since you know that you are overstepping the rules, you shouldn't go beyond the rules. Sometimes, pampering is one thing, but relying on pampering to be arrogant is not what a wise person does."
Qin Wanyi was teaching her a lesson both inside and outside her words. Shen Jingci couldn't refute her openly, so she could only bow her head and say yes.
Seeing her like this, Qin Wanyi relaxed her frown and said, "Well, I didn't want to get into trouble with you. Now that we have entered the same door, we are a family. In the future, we must work together to assist the prince." Yes, don’t go beyond the rules.”
Shen Jingci responded one by one and respectfully sent Qin Wanyi out, then slowly put away her smile.
