Chapter 16 The Anti-Scumbag Alliance is Established!

Taking into consideration the force displayed by Chen Xun, the scholar's words were slightly more euphemistic.

But Qi Yunxi naturally refused to admit to something he had not done. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and almost turned the quiet little courtyard into a vegetable market again.

Zhong Danyue tugged at Shen Xun's sleeve, "Miss Shen, why do I feel something is wrong? Have they all been deceived?"

Shen Xun nodded. She felt the same way. It seemed that someone was deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and Qi Yunxi had not come to see these people in person, which led to the misunderstanding.

She made a gesture to keep quiet, and this time everyone obeyed and kept silent at the same time.

Shen Xun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Princess, there's no need to lie. Please think back, who was the one who actually canceled your benefits and made you do rough labor?"

"Did the princess give you these orders herself?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Not really," someone said bravely, "It was Miss Qingrong who told us, and she was the one who asked the servants to assign us tasks."

"Oh, by the way, there's also Jiang Xinming. He comes to our place almost every day to show off his power... If the princess is tired of us, she can just let us leave the palace. Why would she let her new lover humiliate us?"

These people talked a lot, and Qi Yunxi actually got to know a Jiang Xinming that was completely different from what she knew.

"You say Brother Xinming is domineering and arrogant? How is that possible! He is obviously the most gentle and polite person!"

Qi Yunxi couldn't believe it.

Zhong Danyue couldn't believe it either. She wondered if the "Jiang Xinming" everyone was talking about might not be her brother Ming?

She asked tentatively, "Everyone, the 'Jiang Xinming' you are talking about is the son of Jiang Kaicheng, the Minister of Rites?"

After receiving a positive answer, Zhong Danyue's heart finally settled down.

She couldn't believe it. Why was Brother Ming such a person behind the scenes?

Chen Xun hesitated and said, “Yun Xi, I asked your eldest brother. He gave you the maid in the palace and the maid named after the herbal medicine. Who is that Qing Rong?”

Qi Yunxi's eyes welled up as he spoke of this. "Mammy was seriously ill and has passed away. Xiangsi and Suzan, one died under the hooves of a mad horse while trying to save me, and the other fell into the lake. When she was found, she was already dead..."

"Qingrong is my newly promoted senior palace maid. I met her when I was out. She was a peasant girl selling herself to bury her father. Brother Xinming said no one wanted to buy her and she might sell herself to a brothel. I felt sorry for her, so I bought her."

The people present were somewhat cautious. Seeing that Qi Yunxi had not yet realized that something was wrong, the scholar could not help but say:

"You haven't realized something's wrong yet? How could three of your confidants die in a row? You dare to hire someone you bought from outside as a maid? I really don't know how you can..."

Stupid or brainless.

The scholar did not utter these words due to the pressure from Shen Xun.

Qi Yunxi is not stupid, she just has not experienced anything and no one has enlightened her.

Now she had a glimpse of the truth. She pulled Chen Xun's sleeve and asked, "Xun, do you think Brother Xinming knew Qingrong before?"

"Not only that," Shen Xun sighed, "Maybe the two of them have been colluding with each other for a long time, trying to undermine you as the eldest princess."

Qi Yunxi thought about it and agreed.

Before, there were nannies and palace maids given by her brother, so she didn't take much charge of things because she knew they were loyal.

After Jiang Xinming and Qing Rong came, she did the same and handed over all the affairs of the mansion to them.

I'm afraid the two of them have known each other for a long time, and even selling themselves was planned by them!

Shen Xun looked at Qi Yunxi's unpredictable expression and felt inexplicably grateful to Prince Su.

If Prince Su had not rebelled and sent people to capture Qinghe County, this silly girl might have been eaten by Jiang Xinming and the others until not even a bone was left!

"Where are Jiang Xinming and Qingrong? I want to ask them in person!"

Qi Yunxi bit her lower lip tightly. She didn't believe that Jiang Xinming's gentleness in the past was fake, and Qing Rong's loyalty was pretended.

Without waiting for an answer, Zhong Danyue stood up and said, "I also want to ask Jiang Xinming why he didn't save me, his fiancée, but instead lied to the princess."

She and Jiang Xinming were childhood sweethearts who loved each other. They had already agreed that even if the elders of both families canceled the engagement one day, they would still try their best to be together.

Therefore, Zhong Danyue tacitly agreed that the engagement was still there.

Qi Yunxi knew Zhong Danyue's identity in advance, but no one else knew.

The scholar muttered quietly, "I'm no worse than Jiang Xinming. Why can he win the hearts of the princess and other girls at the same time, but I can't?"

This girl is obviously a noble lady from a wealthy family. The scholar is really envious of Jiang Xinming.

If possible, he really wanted to see the scene of Jiang Xinming being interrogated by two girls on his back.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xinming is missing.

"He disappeared the first night the sheriff locked us up," the scholar said. "I shared a room with him, and when I got up the next day, he was gone."

"Not only him, Qingrong lived with me, and she's gone missing too."

so……

Qi Yunxi gritted his teeth: "Did he escape?!"

Zhong Danyue's eyes were cold, "And she brought Qingrong with her."

They say love breeds hate, and the two girls gave their whole hearts to Jiang Xinming, but Jiang Xinming coaxed them on the surface, while secretly hooking up with other women...

The scholar shuddered and said to the person next to him, "Why do I feel a little cold?"

The man said silently: "Jiang Xinming is probably even colder."

Didn’t you see the two girls’ gloomy faces? They must have tortured Jiang Xinming to death thousands of times in their hearts.

Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue looked at each other and clasped their hands.

"Sister Yue."

"Sister Xi."

Okay, the code matches, and the anti-scumbag alliance is officially established!

They both held Chen Xun's hands at the same time, and Qi Yunxi said coquettishly: "Xun, can you help me~"

Zhong Danyue was more reserved, "Miss Chen..."

"No problem," Shen Xun said with a smile, "Leave it to me!"

Seeing the three of them smile knowingly, everyone silently lit a candle for Jiang Xinming.

Knowing that they hated the wrong person, everyone expressed their apologies. In order to make amends, the scholar told Qi Yunxi something.

"Princess, do you know that your reputation was ruined by Jiang Xinming?"

Qi Yunxi said in confusion, "What? I have a bad reputation? That's not right, Brother Xinming... Jiang Xinming said that I'm very popular among the people!"

The scholar took a deep breath and said, "It's all fake. In fact, in the hearts of the people, you are a female bully who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil!"

Qi Yunxi: “…”

She held Chen Xun's hand, about to cry, "Xun, Jiang Xinming is so mean, when I find him, I will tear him into pieces!"

Qi Yunxi vaguely knew that she would not have a very good reputation, and she did not care about those false names. When Jiang Xinming used nice words to coax her, she just took it as a fun story.

But Jiang Xinming dared to slander her!

Unforgivable!

The scholar said helplessly: "Forget it, once we get out, the rumors will naturally be dispelled."

If someone asks, it doesn't hurt to explain.

It's a way to repay Qi Yunxi's kindness.
