Shi Qingxue frowned and glanced at Xia Mang helplessly, quite helpless at the bright eyes of her maid.
After being dumb for a long while, he said: "The second son of the Minister of Hubu, um, isn't he Zhao Zhuer's second brother Zhao Liang?"
Xia Mang nodded and said proactively: "Miss Zhao used to have a good relationship with Auntie, but now that she came back from Serenity Temple, she has become closer to Sanniang. I heard that Sanniang even made an appointment with Miss Zhao to go to Zhao two days ago. The academy where the second young master resides.”
As for what to do, Xia Mang didn't need to explain.
"The third sister has always been arrogant. How could she be satisfied with the status of the second son of the Minister of Revenue? This is a bit strange." It was not Shi Qingxue who slandered Shi Baojin. In her previous life, Shi Baojin once became the new successor. .
How could such an ambitious person marry him just because of his status as a young master? Not to mention that the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue has an unclear relationship with the Third Prince Party. Aren't they worried that Mo Junhao will get angry and kill them directly? Will the family eliminate the four princes
Xia Mang shrugged, "Who knows! Sanniang has always been flamboyant in her behavior, and she doesn't go out of her way every day or two. Didn't she do those dirty things before to become the Crown Princess of Rui? Now she takes the initiative to approach Zhao Er The young master is nothing unusual.
I want you to tell me, as long as Sanniang doesn't make a joke and lose the face of Duke Shi's palace, why are you paying so much attention to her? ! "
Facts have proved that Xia Mang is too cunning sometimes.
The day after she said these words, the Duke of Shi's mansion, which had been abuzz with rumors, made another big news: someone saw the second son of the Zhao family and the third wife of the Shi family sleeping disheveled in the famous gentle village in Kyoto. On a bed, something unspeakable seemed to have happened.
As soon as this topic came out, it quickly swept through the entire aristocratic circle, and the previous rumors about Shi Qingxue disappeared in an instant.
After all, compared to Shi Qingxue's rumors that are based on rumors and have no real evidence, the public prefers this kind of hard-hitting materials with complete witnesses and material evidence.
Although the national custom of Mo is open and there are not so many taboos between men and women, having a private meeting in the Goulan Women's Branch in a grand manner is still a bit too much.
When Shi Qingxue heard the news, he frowned again and asked Xia Mang strangely: "Why is this matter so exaggerated?"
Xia Mang smiled nonchalantly, "How great is this! Everyone else has turned their attention to the matter of catching an adulterer, and no one will stop gossiping about you!"
The best way to break a rumor is to create a more powerful rumor, and Shi Baojin's gossip is obviously more attractive than Shi Qingxue's gossip.
Shi Qingxue knew this was the case, but she always felt that something was wrong, "I'm just worried that someone is deliberately targeting Duke Shi's mansion. By the way, how is the third sister doing now?"
"What can you do if you lose such an adult? On the surface, it is said that she is unwell and needs to recuperate at home. Who doesn't know that it is because the eldest princess thinks she is embarrassed and has locked her up." Dongshuang said while dancing and excited. It's like picking up a gold ingot.
Shi Qingxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Hey! If I can't write a single word "Shi" in one stroke, it's fine for the third sister to be in bad luck alone. Now it's our Shi family's reputation that is being tarnished."
It's true that she hates Shi Baojin, but she also doesn't want others to slander members of the Shi family!
Yes, that's how she defends her shortcomings.
Xia Mang glanced at Qingxue and said quietly: "Sanniang's matter may be a bit embellished, but the facts are not much different from the rumors."
This drama is really too exciting, leaving no room for passers-by to spread rumors!
Shi Qingxue's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you saying that the third sister is really with the second son of the Zhao family..."
When Baojin failed to seduce Mo Junyang, she used the trick of "cooking raw rice into cooked rice", and she was speechless.
"And what's even more exciting is that the Second Young Master Zhao is also a young man who can't stand up to the public. He even sleeps with others and makes a storm in the city. If he is more sensible, he will definitely marry someone back home to support him, but the Second Young Master Zhao No! It's been two or three days since this happened, and no one from the Zhao family has come to propose marriage. I heard that someone saw Mr. Zhao appearing at the theater today to listen to music!" Dong Shuang said with excitement as she talked about the gossip she had gathered. There was so much gloating on his face!
But this time Qingxue wasn't angry. She was just protecting someone's shortcomings and wasn't stupid.
Shi Baojin should bear responsibility for the monster he created himself. She saved Shi Baojin once, but she didn't plan to worry about it a second time.
She just sighed with emotion: "It seems that she will miss the chance to be the queen this time."
Thinking about this, Qingxue found it funny again. In her previous life, she and Shi Baojin had been fighting for the position of queen for so long, but in this new life, she gave up that position from the beginning, while Shi Baojin did not. qualified.
It has really changed!
Shi Qingxue sighed for a while and simply ignored the matter, but Zhou Ruyu came to the door at this time.
"What are you doing here at Luotong Pavilion?" Shi Qingxue said calmly after doing the courtesy.
She wasn't afraid that Zhou Ruyu would take advantage of her attitude. If he really made her angry, she could just kick him out.
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Zhou Ruyu smiled flatteringly at Shi Qingxue and said, "It's nothing serious. I just saw that your third aunt didn't like to go out these days, so I came to see if you were feeling well. If you feel uncomfortable, aunt will help you call Divine Doctor Shen... "
There were endless words of concern, and it really sounded like that.
However, Shi Qingxue couldn't bear to play out this intimate and friendly drama with Zhou Ruyu. She raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "I thought Third Aunt should know why I haven't gone out these days?"
If it weren't for those evil things that Shi Baojin did, would she need to hide in Shi's house
Zhou Ruyu's smile froze on her face, and she managed to say after a long time: "Auntie knows that we did something inappropriate before and offended you, but in the end we are still a family, and we must never do anything to make our relatives angry. It’s a quick thing.”
"Oh." Shi Qingxue's expression became even colder and she said unceremoniously: "I think it might be more appropriate for Auntie to say this to Third Sister."
Zhou Ruyu: "..."
Zhou Ruyu came here wholeheartedly to seek peace, but his attitude was already extremely low. With her fiery temper, she would have definitely retorted when someone pushed her around like this, but thinking of Shi Baojin who was still locked up in the boudoir, she suppressed her temper.
She licked her face and said, "Qingxue! You know your third sister's temper after knowing her for so long. Her temper is a little hot, and she doesn't speak and do things with her brains, but she has a good heart. She is currently being held by her mother. He got up and tried to apologize, but there was nothing he could do.
As a mother, your aunt also has to bear the responsibility of poor upbringing. Your aunt is also willing to apologize to you for the wrong things she did in the past. After all, we are still sisters, so just forgive her! "
Shi Qingxue was so surprised that if it weren't for the inelegant posture, she would have wanted to rub her eyes hard to see if she had recognized the wrong person.
Are the above humiliating words really something that Zhou Ruyu, whose eyes want to grow to the sky, can say
Shi Qingxue was silent for a moment, and then simply asked: "Third aunt, please just tell me what you want to say, and let's stop beating around the bush."
Zhou Ruyu thought Shi Qingxue was 'touched' by her, so she was overjoyed and said quickly: "Auntie, I won't tell you any other lies. I hope you can do me a favor and let the second son of the Zhao family, Ming Yuanzheng, marry your third sister."
"What?" Qingxue glanced at Zhou Ruyu in surprise, and said depressedly: "Auntie thinks too highly of Qingxue. The relationship between the Shi family and the Zhao family is average, and the relationship between me and the young master of the Zhao family is even more estranged. You let me Is it possible to propose marriage to the Zhao family and succeed?"
Not to mention that Shi Qingxue, a girl who has not yet left the court, if she really believes Zhou Ruyu's lies and proposes marriage, then she really doesn't need to get married in the future.
Zhou Ruyu turned a blind eye to the difficulties Shi Qingxue said, and instead encouraged her more and more excitedly, "What you said, even the Queen Mother has to give you some face, how can it not succeed
Qingxue! Your third sister's happiness in this life is all in your hands. Now she has given everything to that damn white-eyed wolf of the Zhao family. If the other party doesn't marry her, then she really won't have to live! "
Speaking of sadness, Zhou Ruyu actually shed a few tears and looked very sad.
Shi Qingxue was speechless for a while, saying that she didn't understand Zhou Ruyu's logic at all. Since everyone knew that Zhao Liang was a white-eyed wolf, why was he still so persistent in sending Shi Baojin into the fire pit
What a good mother!
She curled her lips and did not express what she was thinking, but said: "The so-called matchmaker is marrying, naturally it should be the words of the parents who ordered the matchmaker. Even if the third uncle is a grown man and can't handle this matter, why doesn't the third aunt call her grandmother? How about standing up for Third Sister?"
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhou Ruyu's eyes, but she quickly hid it and explained helplessly: "Mother, she doesn't want to take care of these small things, and we juniors don't want to bother her. So Qingxue, you must... "
It turns out that Mo Shujun didn’t care about this matter at all!
Shi Qingxue understood clearly that Mo Shujun's attitude was actually what she expected. She was just curious, "I am just a weak woman. What does the third aunt think I have the ability to do to persuade the Second Young Master Zhao or the Zhao family?"
It would be more reliable to go to Shi Baoning for this matter than to go to her. Why is it that Shi Baoning is a princess and has a good personal relationship with Zhao Zhuer.
Zhou Ruyu only saw Qingxue playing riddles again, with an ambiguous smile on her face, and said covertly: "It's not strange that Qingxue still played riddles with the third aunt. Now who doesn't know that you and Mo Shizi..."
"Third Aunt." Shi Qingxue interrupted Zhou Ruyu's words with a cold voice, and her eyes suddenly became extremely cold.
Zhou Ruyu still insisted on finishing her words: "You have such a good relationship with Prince Mo, you just need to tell him about this matter and ask him for a small favor. The matter was solved casually!"
Shi Qingxue never thought that one day she and Mo Junyang would be connected in this way.
Mo Junyang is not her subordinate.
No, Zhou Ruyu's wording was even worse. It sounded like Mo Junyang was the dog around her who came and went when she abandoned him.
She didn't feel happy, but felt extremely uncomfortable!
Shi Qingxue had a sullen face, pointed at the door, and issued an eviction order unceremoniously, "Third Aunt, please leave!"
