Chapter 550: He won’t run away with the money, right?
"Miss, I'm telling you, please don't be angry!" Luo Kui saw Xiao Jiuyue's serious expression and immediately changed her previous playful smile. She said seriously, "The rumors outside are all groundless. They are just sour grapes because some people can't eat them!"
"Seriously!" Xiao Jiuyue interrupted her. Luo Kui's expression made her even more curious about how bad the rumors were. She guessed, "Maybe they're saying that I won the Third Prince's favor with my face? Or that my engagement was broken off?"
There are so many rumors, but these are the main types, right?
"Is it worse than this?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Luo Kui, who looked hesitant and unsure of what to say. She asked, "Is there anything worse?"
Luo Kui nodded, and finally, unable to hold it in any longer, she said, "Miss, those people are just jealous of you, that's why they say you became the prince's consort because of your looks."
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuyue nodded in agreement. She touched her face. She was going to be a magistrate soon. The maids in the palace came to teach her the rules. She even paid special attention to her diet. The daily regimen, internal and external nourishment, made her skin so tender that you could pinch water out of it.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "Their gossip is quite good. It proves that my face is really beautiful!"
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror with satisfaction, as it was praising her beauty.
"Miss, but they also said that the third prince is ill and will abandon you sooner or later." Luo Kui looked hesitantly at Xiao Jiuyue who was admiring the bronze mirror. What those people said was so unpleasant that she was angry after hearing it, let alone the young lady.
"They are right, Jun Lie does have a disease, but I am the only one who can cure him!" Xiao Jiuyue raised her lips slightly. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the novels she had read before, in which the male protagonist was sick or couldn't touch other women.
When seeing this plot, Xiao Jiuyue really felt that he must have a problem with his brain. How could he only touch the heroine?
Now it seems that maybe it was fate?
"As for what they said about abandonment, isn't there this risk if I marry someone else?" Xiao Jiuyue analyzed slowly, without any sign of anger.
Luo Kui and Lian Xin beside her looked at each other. Miss Song was so angry that she gave birth prematurely when she heard the rumors about the young lady. Why was the young lady not angry at all after hearing it?
"Miss, they say that you have been broken off your engagement and are a fallen woman...a broken willow." Lianxin paused, and looked ready to appease the angry young lady.
"Heh." Xiao Jiuyue sneered, "The world is just unfair to women. A man's engagement is broken off, but the marriage is not affected. But when it comes to women, they think she's a fallen woman."
"Yeah, those people are just talking nonsense. Not only do I get angry just listening to them, even someone as good-natured as Lianxin would want to hit them." Luo Kui nodded in agreement. "It's clearly the Song family who's taking advantage of someone's misfortune. How could they even slander the young lady?"
"Well, what else?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her and asked. This was nonsense and it was easy to solve. Just catch the person who made Yao Yao and he would shut up.
"Also, someone is making a bet on how long it will take for the lady to be divorced!" Luo Kui was so angry that his back teeth were almost bitten off. He really wanted to arrest all those people who were talking nonsense and slap them hard in the face!
"What are the odds?" Xiao Jiuyue asked with interest.
"Huh?" Luo Kui was shocked by her reaction, then replied, "Five to one, no one thinks you'll be divorced."
"Go, bet 10,000 taels and I won't be divorced." Xiao Jiuyue said, looking at the stunned Luo Kui and Lian Xin, "Such a good opportunity to make money, how can we let it go?"
Now that the imperial power is stable and Yongzhao has surrendered, coupled with the enormous power of gunpowder, it has shocked neighboring countries. The emperor is now in his prime, and it will definitely not take long for the prince to ascend the throne!
As long as Big Brother leads the people of Jiangnan to grow high-yield crops next year, the people of Nanyue will be able to live and work in peace and contentment for at least three years!
Unless Jun Lie broke his promise, there was no way she and Jun Lie would get divorced, let alone be divorced.
This is a sure win business, so why not bet more?
"Hmm, wait a minute." Xiao Jiuyue thought for a moment before saying, "I still need to find out who this banker is. What if I bet so much money and he runs away?"
"Wait a minute, miss, aren't you angry?" Luo Kui swallowed her saliva. She was so angry that she didn't eat for a whole day, and she didn't dare let the busy lady know. She felt suffocated.
But now that the young lady really knew about it, she was actually... not angry at all?
"What's there to be angry about?" Xiao Jiuyue curled the corners of his lips and said, "The people care about me so much, which shows that I am also a person that everyone cares about, right?"
"Uh." Luo Kui tilted her head and looked at Lian Xin with a puzzled look on her face: "Is that so?"
"That seems to be true. What other girl has attracted as much attention as you do?" Lian Xin vaguely understood Xiao Jiuyue's thoughts. She said, "Miss, you don't have to worry about those rumors. The Third Prince has already dealt with them for you."
"Him? How did he deal with it?" Xiao Jiuyue was a little curious. For a man to deal with rumors, he probably just took a loud speaker and argued with others, right?
"The Third Prince is very powerful. He brought the Imperial Guards with him. Whenever he heard someone making up a rumor about the young lady, he would ask if they had any evidence. If they didn't, they would be arrested and taken to Jingzhao Prefecture."
As Lianxin finished speaking, Luokui beside her quickly said, "That's right, I heard that the prisons in Jingzhao Prefecture are full."
"What?" Lianxin looked at Luokui in shock.
Luo Kui said, "I found it when I came back from delivering something to Miss Song today. I wanted to tell her, but I was afraid she would ask about the rumors..."
Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue a little embarrassedly and said, "Miss, I really didn't hide it from you on purpose. I just didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid you would be angry."
"Deduct one month's salary and don't do it again." After Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, he looked at Luo Kui's little face drooping like a bitter gourd.
"Miss, I was wrong." Luo Kui suddenly felt like an eggplant hit by frost. Although she was doing it for the young lady's good, she did hide something from her.
"Well, but, there are rewards and punishments. You concealed the rumors, so you will be fined one month's salary. This reward..." Xiao Jiuyue stretched out her tone, looking at Luo Kui's sparkling eyes, which reminded her of the Bichon Frise she raised before, whose eyes were sparkling and made people want to touch them.
"Miss, are there any rewards?" Luo Kui looked at her eagerly, with a look of anticipation.
"I am very clear about rewards and punishments. If there is a punishment, there will be a reward. I will reward you by having ten meals at Fengchunlou." Xiao Jiuyue clearly felt that after she finished speaking, Luo Kui's eyes became brighter.
