Chapter 638: A mean plot
The women nodded immediately, with regretful expressions on their faces.
"Yes, it's this Lord Li."
"We live in the same alley as his family. Lord Li is the kindest and never puts on airs. Alas, I really can't bear to see such a good person being bullied."
Mrs. Feng couldn't help but clench her palms. She knew her own children best.
Fengnian was certainly wronged.
But how could the Li family be involved here...
According to this, the girl that Fengnian helped in front of the teahouse that day was the daughter of Master Li?
Was it a coincidence or... Mrs. Feng was muttering in her heart.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao also heard everything clearly. Her eyebrows were almost wrinkled into small twists, and her cheeks were puffed up like buns!
These women were shouting everywhere.
Wouldn't the eldest brother's reputation be ruined?
But how did this rumor come about? The eldest brother was obviously helping out with good intentions, so how could he be considered a bully!
Although the Jiang family should have clarified the matter in a timely manner, Feng Shi saw that these women were talking nonsense and guessed that there must be something fishy going on. If she stood up to explain now, it might only make things worse.
So she calmed down and did not make a fuss. Instead, she took Xiao Nuobao and Li Qiqiao away and went home to discuss it.
When they got home, the three people who were happy to go out all looked unhappy.
Jiang Fengnian happened to be still indoors, so he came over to touch his sister's face and asked curiously, "Mom, how come you guys came back so soon? Have you bought everything?"
But then he saw that Madam Zheng had nothing in her hands, and then he realized something was wrong.
Feng glanced at the east room and knew that Sun Chunxue was still resting inside.
She lowered her voice and said, "Big Boss, come in with me, I have something to tell you."
After they got to the inner room, Xiao Nuobao couldn't help himself any longer, and jumped to the ground with his chubby fists clenched, and told her everything he heard in the cloth shop.
"Brother, when we went to buy materials today, we heard someone spread rumors!"
"They said that you were inappropriate to a beautiful girl when you went to the military camp, and she felt very wronged, but you didn't give us an explanation, and you said that our family was bullying others!" Xiao Nuobao howled, and his face turned red with anger.
Li Qiqiao, who was sitting on the side, also said awkwardly, "It seems that it was a misunderstanding when brother was helping someone that day. The key point is that they even named the eldest master of our Jiang family."
Jiang Fengnian had just picked up the tea bowl, and when he heard the tea, he almost spit it out, his eyes were full of shock.
"What, they really said that, isn't this just throwing dirty water on others?" He couldn't help but get anxious, who could stand such slander.
Feng went on in a deep voice, "And what a coincidence, the girl that day happened to be the concubine of Lord Li."
After Jiang Fengnian thought about it, he suddenly realized, "No wonder, Lord Li was really not right that day!"
"He was fine teaching my sister in the morning, but he suddenly came to our house in the evening and said a lot of inexplicable things. He also hinted that I could divorce my wife and remarry, and asked me if I had been to that teahouse!"
Jiang Fengnian's face turned red with anger at the thought of being wronged. He felt angry and wronged.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to rush out, "Mom, I'm going to the Li family right now to explain this matter clearly. I can't let this stigma be levied in vain!"
But Feng stopped him, "Boss, if this is really a misunderstanding, there may be an explanation, but what if they did it on purpose?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Fengnian was stunned and turned around slowly.
"Mom, do you mean... the Li family deliberately slandered me?"
Feng was not sure, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.
She sat down again, lowered her eyes and thought, "When you came back that day, didn't you tell us that the girl you helped was waiting for the third brother on purpose, wanting to throw herself into his arms?"
"So, the girl had been scheming from the beginning." Feng frowned slightly, "And she didn't wait for the third brother, but ran into you, and now you are being lied to, can this be a coincidence?"
Jiang Fengnian's eyes widened, and he finally came to his senses.
So, he was wrong to be a good person, and was actually calculated for no reason!
"I didn't expect that the Li family would be such a family. I thought Lord Li was good and sensible." He clenched his fists in pain and his voice was hoarse.
Feng hesitated for a moment, not wanting to make a hasty conclusion, "This matter may not be entirely related to Lord Li. Mother, we still have to investigate it and find out what the girl wants to do first."
At this time, Xiao Nuobao also nodded his head vigorously.
Although Master Li had a lot of homework, he was a good person, and she was unwilling to believe that he would deliberately plot against her family.
Besides, Lord Li still had to teach her.
There was no reason to ruin her future.
The little fat girl scratched the back of her head and decided, "Mother, brother, those women today all live in the same alley as the Li family. Why don't we let Madam Zheng go to that alley first to inquire and see how the rumor spread."
Madam Zheng got the young master's order, and without saying a word, she flashed out and ran to the Li Mansion.
Feng touched her heart. The only thing she was thankful for was that the eldest daughter-in-law was persuaded by the fat maid to go back today and did not hear those bad words from the cloth shop...
Meanwhile
, in the Li residence, Li Hutu had no idea what had happened.
He was humming a little tune, lying on the table, scribbling the princess's study plan for the next month.
Aunt Wang took a peek at him, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, she trotted to Ziwu Courtyard to "report the good news" to Li Qingping.
"Ping'er, the news has spread!"
"Listen to Aunt, this trick will definitely work." Aunt Wang grinned.
Li Qingping was sitting in front of the dressing table, measuring whether her waist had become thicker.
After hearing this, she raised her head nervously, "Auntie, did you really do that? But...if the Jiang family knew that we were deliberately wronging someone, they wouldn't hate me and leave us with nothing, right?"
The girl was not completely brainless, but following someone like Auntie, even a piece of good meat would be stinking.
Auntie Wang looked very understanding, holding her handkerchief and said disdainfully.
"What are you afraid of, Ping'er? As long as you didn't say it yourself, they can't blame you. At most, they can say that the servants spread the word and sell a few maids at random."
"The important thing is that once this matter gets out, the Jiang family will have to give you an explanation to save their reputation!" She bared her yellow teeth and laughed again. "
If the eldest brother of the Jiang family is a normal man, he must have wanted to divorce his wife a long time ago. After this incident, it will be convenient for him to take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, marrying you home will not only restore his reputation, but also kick out the old woman and get the beauty. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Aunt Wang's eyes became more and more vicious as she spoke.
Before this, Li Hutu had just scolded her and told her not to mention the matter of marrying into the Jiang family again. Seeing that the man was not reliable, the woman began to think about it again.
She deliberately arranged for a few women and maids to spread rumors in the alley, saying how Li Qingping was bullied. She
deliberately confused the truth.
As the saying goes, three people can make a tiger, even if nothing happened, some rumors can spread.
Not to mention that this was a servant of the Li family, and the neighbors naturally took it seriously after hearing it, so they all stood up for Li Qingping.
Most of the people living in this alley are people with some reputation.
As long as it spreads for a few more days, everyone in Beijing will know about it.
Aunt Wang wanted to deliberately ruin the reputation of the family so that she could tie Jiang Fengnian and Li Qingping together, use her reputation to pressure others, and force him to marry her.
Although this trick is risky, once it succeeds, the gains will be huge.
Li Qingping did not refuse, but she also felt something was not right and was very nervous.
However, everything she learned from childhood to university was taught by Aunt Wang.
So she always subconsciously relied on Aunt Wang and thought that everything Aunt Wang said was right.
Even if she occasionally objected, as long as Aunt Wang brainwashed her a few times, the girl would let it go.
While the two of them were still whispering in the mansion.
On the other side, Madam Zheng had already arrived at the alley entrance. After taking a look around, she called a few servant-like women and went forward to inquire about something.
She pretended to be a new maid in Li's house, and said with a smile, "Old sisters, are you also working for the rich families here?"
"I just came here today and I'm working as a maid in the Li's house." Madam Zheng smiled innocently, but also showed her worry, "By the way, I wonder if the old sisters know my young lady, and if there is anything to be cautious about. I was assigned to her courtyard to serve, and I'm afraid of bumping into the master."
Hearing that they were also servants in this alley, the maids also let down their guard and came up to talk in a low voice.
"So you are going to the Li's house?"
"Hey, there is a big thing in your house recently. We told you that you have to pay attention."
"A few days ago, your young lady was touched by a man, and she must be in a bad mood recently. You should not hang around in front of her if you have nothing to do." The maids lowered their voices.
Madam Zheng pretended to be surprised, "What, there is such a thing? But this is a matter concerning the reputation of your young lady. You don't work in the Li Mansion, how would you know?"
A maid slapped her thigh, "Well, how can we lie to you? Your family said it themselves, that old woman Ma, Aunt Qin, and the two little maids Dan'er and Cui'er, aren't they all serving your young lady and aunt?"
"They also said that many people in the teahouse saw it at the time, and the young lady's reputation was also affected. Then the Jiang family should take responsibility for your young lady's life, otherwise, the young lady's second half of her life will be ruined." The few people continued.
Madam Zheng's eyes almost spit fire, but she still suppressed her eyes and nodded in agreement.
After those people went back to their respective houses, Madam Zheng also snorted, and hurried back to the Jiang family, telling them the whole story.
After listening, the Jiang family finally understood.
"So, this matter was spread by the people in the Li Mansion, and most of the servants who spread the news were serving the young lady of the Li family?"
"According to their meaning, they want our Fengnian to marry Miss Li. It turns out that they are actually plotting our marriage!" Feng suddenly frowned and her voice became deeper.
Indeed, with the current status of the Jiang family, there are indeed many people who want to marry into the family.
But the eldest and second sons already have wives and children, and most of them are eyeing the third son.
Who would have thought that this young lady of the Li family did not become Fengze, but actually set her sights on Fengnian, which is simply extremely mean!
Madam Zheng was so angry that she couldn't help saying, "Madam, if you look at it this way, there is no possibility of misunderstanding. They are just slandering the eldest master on purpose!"
If she hadn't had to come back to report, she couldn't help but slap him. She really wanted to rush into the Li family and slap everyone in the mansion!
After hearing this, Xiao Nuobao also rushed out of the house angrily.
She knew that her eldest brother must have been slandered.
But she didn't expect that the girl from the Li family did this just to marry her eldest brother?
What kind of thing is this?
She still has her eldest sister-in-law!
Could it be that Miss Li wants to be a concubine, or to be a second wife?
No matter which one it is, the young lady can't accept it.
She can't stand others plotting against her eldest brother, and she can't stand Miss Li relying on her youth to bully her eldest sister-in-law.
Now she finally understands what the strange constellation of her eldest sister-in-law is about!
Feng Jing and Feng Miao just came home from the department store,
and their faces turned red with anger. Although they always tease their eldest sister-in-law, in their eyes, they are the only ones who can "squeeze" their eldest
sister-in-law. If outsiders want to dig into the eldest sister-in-law's corner, they will have to deal with them two brothers alone!
"What a vicious girl, she wants us to call her sister-in-law? Unless she finds a rope to hang herself up and waits for my eldest brother underground!" Feng Miao slammed the table. Feng
Nian was furious, but he couldn't help shivering.
Even if he went underground, he didn't want such a woman.
Feng Jing also frowned and quickly grabbed Feng Nian's arm.
"Brother, you are not allowed to do anything to let down our sister-in-law. Even though she is a little bit dumb and her sewn book bags are ugly, we only recognize her!"
Feng Miao quickly put her hands on her hips and responded, "That's right, brother, if you dare to fall in love with someone else, we would rather not recognize you! Besides, our sister-in-law doesn't know how to do anything. If you don't want her, what will happen to her in the future? She won't even be able to get warm food even if she goes out to beg!"
"Pfft——" Little Nuobao was unhappy at first, but he couldn't help grinning when he heard it.
Why do the two brothers' mouths seem to be filled with poison?
Just at this moment, Sun Chunxue just walked to the door, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
So that's what happened?
No wonder, when the mother-in-law came back today, she looked a little strange, and it turned out to be related to Fengnian...
But Fengjing and Fengmiao's words really made her heart warm again, and her eyes almost wet.
At this time, Jiang Fengnian also patted his two younger brothers on the head, and said angrily and amusedly, "Look at what you two said, how could the eldest brother do anything to let down your sister-in-law? Am I that person?"
Sun Chunxue felt relieved, her eyes curved with joy, and then she held her waist and walked in.
"So that's what you were talking about. Why are you hiding it from me? I'm not a part of this family." She said deliberately.
Upon seeing this, Li Qiqiao stood up quickly and helped her, "Sister-in-law, come in quickly. I'm afraid that you'll get angry after knowing this and even have a miscarriage."
Sun Chunxue smiled and shook her head, "Look at what you said, am I so naive? Our family has been through so many ups and downs. If I don't make any progress, I really don't deserve to be a member of the Jiang family."
Jiang Fengnian hurried over, embarrassed and anxiously said, "Wife, believe me, I really have nothing to do with that girl, let alone do anything to her..."
"Do you need to tell me that? You're just a blockhead. Back then, we had been married for more than a month, and you still had the nerve to crawl into my bed. If you could do something like that, even a pig would climb a tree." Sun Chunxue clicked her tongue and shook her head.
"Hahaha!"
As soon as these words came out, the Jiang family couldn't help laughing, and Feng Miao laughed so hard that she almost choked.
"Wife, why did you tell me about my embarrassing experiences in the past? Mother and sister are here." Fengnian was embarrassed and kept shaking his head.
The whole family laughed for a long time, but this matter still had to be resolved.
Otherwise, if it spreads more and more, even if the Jiang family will not do as they wish, Fengnian's reputation will be ruined.
And at this moment, Xiao Nuobao scratched her head and had already thought of a good idea!
She put her hands on Xiaopang's waist, hum, want to plot against her family?
Then don't blame her for not saving face!
So the little fat girl waved her hand and said, "Mom, brother, since they want to make a fuss about reputation, why don't we fight poison with poison and let them shoot themselves in the foot!"
