Fu Hengyue's eyes were filled with disappointment towards her brother.
"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to go back and rest."
Fu Hengyue stood up and turned to leave, but she didn't expect that on the way back to her own courtyard from the old lady's house, she would meet Du Wan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
After Du Wan got married, she regarded herself as the master of the general's mansion and no longer thought about Fu Hengyue and Fu Hengjing in everything as before.
When he saw her at this moment, a hint of sneer flashed across his eyes. After all, Du Wan had also heard some of the rumors outside.
"Why are you here, sister? Did you just come back from the old lady's place?"
Fu Hengyue didn't want to get entangled with her, so he just nodded and wanted to walk past her, but was stopped by someone's words.
"Sister, don't you think the rumors out there are so outrageous? Is there someone behind this?"
Fu Hengyue turned around and looked at them blankly. "What do you want to say?"
"Sister, you are the apple of the General's eye. Your brother and I have always treated you politely. But your...ex-sister-in-law has always treated you badly, especially a few days ago, when someone spread the rumor that she had an affair with the prince. Not long after, the dirty water was thrown at the General's Mansion, which inevitably made people worry too much. What's more, that Madam Zhou originally had a good relationship with your sister-in-law, and the money was also returned by your sister-in-law."
It would have been better if Du Wan didn't say anything, but once she opened her mouth, every word she said pierced into Fu Hengyue's heart.
"You are still young, so naturally you don't understand the reasons behind many things. I want to worry about you, but I am afraid that you will think I am meddling in your affairs."
"Are you saying that all this was done by that bitch Shen Yuerong?"
Du Wan nodded, but pretended to say, "Maybe there is something she can't explain? Why don't you go talk to her? What if this is all a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? She is just using me as a shield. She has an affair with another man during her marriage and has even divorced my brother. Now she is throwing all the dirty water on the General's Mansion. She is really a person."
Du Wan looked at Fu Hengyue running out angrily and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
“Chen Yuerong, no one should have an easy time.”
Looking at her coming to visit, Shen Yuerong was speechless.
"What are you doing here?"
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
Shen Yuerong drank the freshly iced fruit tea in the cup, her eyes fixed on her.
"It seems like you haven't been doing well lately? You look much more haggard. It seems like you really took those rumors outside to heart."
"Should I just pretend that never happened?"
"Other people have their mouths. As long as you do your job well, no matter what others say, it has nothing to do with you or me."
"You said it lightly. It's obviously because you are shameless and have an unclear relationship with the prince that people are talking about you. But in order to be with him, you are willing to throw this dirty water on me. How vicious."
"I'm so vicious?"
Chen Yuerong snorted coldly, "If I were really vicious, you and your brother would not know if they were still alive. Your brother left without saying a word, leaving you two siblings and the entire General's Mansion to me. If I hadn't worked so hard, how could you have such a good life now?"
"You farted."
Fu Hengyue didn't care about the lady's appearance, and her tone was really a bit angry, "All this was caused by my brother's fighting outside. It was bestowed by His Majesty. What does it have to do with you?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Shen Yuerong snorted coldly, as expected, people shouldn't be too soft-hearted.
"When I first married into the General's Mansion, they were penniless, and even the betrothal gifts were cobbled together. If my father hadn't really liked me, he would have tolerated my marriage to the General's Mansion."
If you don't listen to the old man at this moment, you will suffer the consequences, but the words are still ringing in your ears.
If Shen Yuerong could have heard what her father said at the beginning, perhaps she would not be like this now.
"Also, I don't care what people outside say about me and the prince. They don't know the inside story, and I'm too lazy to explain it over and over again, but you know it."
She looked at her and said, "The prince has never been in love with you. You are just being affectionate. Now that I am with him, I naturally don't want to damage his reputation for no reason, so I hope you can make it clear in the future."
"You finally admit that you're with him now? You two-timing slut."
Fu Hengyue excitedly poured the water from the cup in his hand directly onto Shen Yuerong.
Fortunately, the tea was specially chilled, so in this hot summer, pouring it on your body makes you feel a little cool.
Qinghua hurried over, stopped in front of Shen Yuerong, and looked at her unkindly.
"Ms. Fu!"
"girl."
Meihua had just come back from outside. When she saw this scene, she hurried over, staring fiercely at the person in front of her.
"Fu Hengyue, I am not the one who has gradually made you live such a miserable life. Instead of acting like a child in front of me, you should think about how to escape the fate of marrying into the prince's mansion."
"How do you know I'm going to marry into the prince's mansion?"
This news has never been leaked, although the prince has promised Fu Hengyu.
But after the matter was resolved, it seemed as if it had disappeared without a trace.
"Why do you care how I know? I just know."
Shen Yuerong raised her head, her tone was somewhat provocative, "You deserve it, it's because you were disobedient that your brother could only sell you as a pawn. I really feel sorry for you."
The sister who must have been loved and cherished in every way has now become a transaction.
It’s really ridiculous to think about it.
"That's enough."
Fu Hengyue stood up with some displeasure, "I'm telling you, if I don't have a good life, you won't have an easy life either. You and the prince will not have a good ending in this life."
Fu Hengyue left in a hurry and happened to run into Chi Mu who had just returned from Fuwai. Seeing that she looked bad, he hurried into the house with some worry, and indeed saw Shen Yuerong who looked a little embarrassed.
"Why did you think of meeting someone from the General's Mansion?"
"It's not that I want to, but she just barged in, and I can't let anyone drag her down again."
"What's wrong with this? If you're unhappy, you don't have to stay here."
"Don't do that."
Shen Yuerong reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
"It's just some ice water, just to cool me down. The weather is getting hotter day by day, and I feel very dry all over."
He wiped the water from her forehead with some concern, "There is something. I have to go out recently."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Jiangnan."
"Why are you going to Jiangnan again? Did something happen, or is Your Majesty..."
"There's a small incident over in Jiangnan. I'll go and take care of it."
