Within two days, the news that Shi Qingxue had regained consciousness spread throughout Kyoto.
Then it was reported that Shi Guogong went to Prince Rui's Mansion to pick up someone but was rejected. Finally, someone swore that he saw with his own eyes that Shi Qingxue, the once brilliant and proud daughter of heaven, had turned into a person who didn't even recognize anyone and couldn't speak. What a fool to say.
For a time, this matter caused a commotion in Kyoto. Mo Junyang's shocking act of "getting angry and becoming a beauty" was in front of him, and now it was reported that Shi Qingxue had become stupid. Many people were secretly laughing at Mo Junyang. This time, the work was all in vain, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Some people even maliciously speculated that it was a rumor that Duke Shi was rejected for picking up someone, and that the Shi family had simply given up on the good-for-nothing Shi Qingxue.
However, the rumors that were not conducive to Shi Qingxue suddenly disappeared before they could spread.
In less than a day, no one dared to say that Shi Qingxue was stupid. All that was said was Shi Qingxue’s beautiful character. Some people praised Shi Qingxue’s deeds of going to Qingluo Mountain alone to help his father capture bandits in order to save his father. After going out, he was immediately recognized within the Shi family army.
The people already respected Shi Jiajun. After knowing that Shi Qingxue was the most cherished granddaughter of old Duke Shi and the youngest daughter of General Shi, they respected Shi Qingxue to the extreme. No one said anything about Shi Qingxue. Bad words.
Later, the servants in Prince Rui's Mansion reported how Prince Rui had pampered Shi Qingxue to the sky, asking for stars to give to stars and picking up moons from the moon, and even swore a vicious oath to love only one person in his life, only to be with Shi Qingxue. Snow will be a pair for the rest of her life.
The woman is talented, beautiful and patriotic, and the man is powerful and loving. They are a match made in heaven.
The talented and beautiful people in Kyoto all regard these two as their idols or future partners. If anyone dares to say a bad word about them, public opinion will kill them.
What? You said they lived together before they got married
The wind is so strong that I can't hear anything clearly!
—
In the Shi family, Zhou Ruyu watched helplessly as public opinion once again favored Shi Qingxue, and her eldest daughter was full of infamy. Her death was not good enough, and her younger daughter was still suffering. She was unwilling to do anything, so she hurriedly ran to Mo Shujun. Added some fuel and vinegar.
Of course, it was about Shi Qingxue, a girl from the boudoir who went to live in a man's house regardless of propriety, justice and shame, and spread the news throughout the city. This not only ruined the reputation of the Shi family, but also made other ladies of the Shi family look like dwarfs in the aristocratic circle. cut.
"Mother! She, Qingxue, was shameless and had a private life, but our You'er is dignified and virtuous, with the best appearance and conduct. Even if she becomes a queen... "
The more Zhou Ruyu talked, the more enthusiastic she became, praising Shi Baoyou to the sky.
Mo Shujun glanced at her coldly and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think the reputation of the Shi family is not bad enough? Do you want people outside to think that the Shi family is arrogant and wants to take a lower position?"
Only then did Zhou Ruyu realize that she had said the wrong thing, and Nuonuo admitted her mistake, "No, I didn't mean that. I'm just not worthy of You'er, and I'm also worried about the reputation of our Shi family. Please mother think of a solution quickly. Otherwise By the time the Shi family's reputation is really ruined by Shi Qingxue, it will be too late!"
Mo Shujun didn't know if she was persuaded by Zhou Ruyu. Her solemn face was full of solemnity. After a while, the old man said quietly: "The boss has gone to Shi's house to pick up someone. What are you in a hurry for?"
Zhou Ruyu was shocked when she heard this, and thought to herself that if Shi Junhe really brought Shi Qingxue back, wouldn't all her previous calculations be in vain
She didn't care whether she was being too eager or not, and said bluntly: "Shi Qingxue has lived in Prince Rui's Mansion for so long. To put it bluntly, no one will believe that she is still innocent. Now go and do it." If someone takes me back to Shifu, doesn't this bring notoriety to our family for nothing
Mother, you must never let Shi Qingxue enter our home again! "
"Absurd! Shi Qingxue is a member of Shi's family. If you don't come back to our home, where else can you go?" Mo Shujun vigorously patted the armrest and stared at Zhou Ruyu coldly and asked.
Zhou Ruyu shrank in fright, then she felt reasonable, straightened her chest and continued: "Is it possible that we can't let her wantonly ruin our family's reputation and not care about it?"
Mo Shujun just looked at her and said nothing, which made Zhou Ruyu's courage shrink again and again.
Finally, she hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Even if Shi Qingxue is ignored, the Alchemy Iron Coupon should be taken back, right? She is no longer in our house now, is it possible that we should still let her take the Alchemy Iron Coupon? Are you giving them all away?"
The Alchemy Iron Coupon is a life-saving talisman for a big family. Even if the thing is taken back, it is not Zhou Ruyu's turn to guarantee it, and she is jealous!
If it were left to Shi Juncai, even if they did nothing, outsiders would definitely look down on their third wife.
"Alchemy iron coupon..." Mo Shujun pondered for a moment, and a trace of wavering flashed on his face.
Zhou Ruyu knew there was a way out at the first glance, and continued to persuade: "I understand the mother's unwillingness to give up every moment and the family's feelings, but this cannot encourage their arrogance to steal everything! And now Qingxue..."
She pointed at her brain and deliberately lowered her voice, "There is a problem here. I heard that she doesn't know anyone and only listens to Prince Rui's words. If Prince Rui covets our iron book of alchemy, wouldn't it be a little while? What a lie, our treasure went to someone else’s house?”
These words were conclusive, and their concerns were not groundless. They directly hit what Mo Shujun cared about most.
Mo Shujun's face suddenly turned cold, she stood up from her seat and said angrily: "How can the things belonging to my Shi family fall into the hands of outsiders? Ruyu, you go to Luotong Pavilion with me now, and you must not let Dan Shutie The coupon was cheated by Xiao Xiao!"
"Hey!" Zhou Ruyu responded quickly.
The news that the eldest princess and the third lady brought a large number of servants to Luotong Pavilion suddenly spread in Dongyuan.
By the time Dong Hui and Shi Baoning arrived, Mo Shujun had already ordered people to search the Luotong Pavilion.
Dong Hui immediately darkened her face and asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, mother? Luotong Pavilion is Qingxue's courtyard. Even if she hasn't come back yet, you can't tear down her courtyard, right?"
Mo Shujun looked at Dong Hui arrogantly and said coldly: "How can I allow you to criticize me for my actions? Besides, if I want to retrieve the Alchemy Iron Coupon, I should investigate Luotong Pavilion thoroughly!"
"The Alchemy Iron Coupon?" Dong Hui, as a married daughter-in-law, knew how precious it was even though she had never seen that thing before. She immediately said: "The Alchemy Iron Coupon was given to Qingxue by my father-in-law. I wonder what the mother’s purpose is in coming here now?”
"What do I want to do? Is it possible that I need to tell you in advance?" Mo Shujun squinted at Dong Hui and announced condescendingly: "Ms. Dong, I gave you the position of mistress of the Shi family. If the palace wants it, you can take it back at any time, you'd better weigh it yourself!"
These remarks were obviously a warning to Dong Hui not to meddle in other people's business.
Dong Hui suddenly felt extremely humiliated, but Mo Shujun's status suppressed her greatly. If she opened her mouth again, Mo Shujun's unfilial hat would suppress her forever.
She knew that the Alchemy Iron Coupon could not be saved this time, so she grabbed Shi Baoning, who was about to speak for her, and allowed the servants of Shou'antang and Nanyuan to turn Luotong Pavilion upside down.
The servants of Luotong Pavilion knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, but they could only watch as the precious paintings and weird gadgets that Shi Qingxue once treasured were destroyed by the searchers.
But when they searched every corner of Luotong Pavilion, they could not find the Alchemy Iron Coupon, as if they had taken something and disappeared out of thin air.
Zhou Ruyu saw Mo Shujun frowning and offered another plan: "I heard that the servants of Luotong Pavilion are the most loyal to protect the Lord. Maybe the thing is hidden on one of them! Why don't I ask me to send someone to look for it again." "
Mo Shujun looked at it coldly and nodded slightly.
Zhou Ruyu immediately asked his people to push the servants of Luotong Pavilion to the ground in the courtyard in public, and began to strip off their clothes, regardless of gender, saying that only in this way would there be no omissions.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Ruyu simply wanted to be the one to Jian Luotong Pavilion to give Shi Qingxue a blow.
The crying in Luotong Pavilion was so loud that Shi Baoning couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and asked: "Third aunt, you suddenly came to Luotong Pavilion, everyone was caught off guard, how could you have the energy to secretly hide the iron book of alchemy on your body? Besides, alchemy iron coupons are not small things that can be put in your pocket. You can tell the clues by peeling off their coats, so why continue to abuse them.
Servants are human beings too. If word of this spreads and others feel that our government does not treat our servants as human beings, can you bear the responsibility? "
After saying that, she also bowed to Mo Shujun and lowered her voice and begged: "Grandma is kind, please give the servants of Luotong Pavilion a way to survive!"
Mo Shujun's condensed eyes swept across the group of servants on the ground, then looked at Shi Baoning. After a while, she still agreed to her, "Then let's do this for now!"
"Mother!" Zhou Ruyu finally came here and was unwilling to give up without getting any real reward. She suddenly said: "There is still a lack of servants here. I remember that Qingxue also had a first-class maid named Dongshuang. Yes. She is missing now, she must have hidden the alchemy book and the iron coupon!"
Otherwise, can such a big thing really fly
When Zhou Ruyu said that Cao Cao had arrived, her people caught Dong Shuang at the door trying to sneak into the crowd.
Mo Shujun asked someone to press Dong Shuang in front of her and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the Alchemy Iron Coupon?"
"I don't know what the Alchemy Book and the Iron Coupon are, let alone where the things are! Please, the eldest princess, please be merciful and spare this servant!" Dongshuang stammered in reply, with a guilty look on his face, almost saying: "Things" That's what I took!
Zhou Ruyu smiled slyly, pointed at Dongshuang and said: "Mother, the things must have been hidden by this maid, but she has a very tough mouth. She will definitely not be able to do it without being tortured. How about handing the person over to me?" , I will definitely take your place..."
"No need!" Mo Shujun coldly interrupted Zhou Ruyu and told the first-class maid Zhu'er on the side: "Bring the person back to Shou'an Hall, I will torture him personally!"
Zhuer agreed and directly called a few guards to bring Dongshuang Gang to Shouantang Hall.
