After receiving his wages, Wei Qing left Xie's house and went to Baoqing Pavilion to help with some work.
He is tall and strong. With him around, not only Tangli, but everyone else in Baoqing Pavilion feels much more relaxed.
Chang Lu and Zheng Ding both liked him very much. Although he was the shopkeeper's husband, he was humble and mingled well with them.
Wei Qing stayed in Baoqing Pavilion and felt the horror of the rumors even more.
There were often groups of people standing outside, pointing fingers at Baoqing Pavilion and saying unpleasant things.
Chang Lu and Zheng Ding pretended not to hear it. It was obvious that they were used to it.
Wei Qing's fists itched, but he endured it.
If he hits someone, things will be even worse.
The next day.
The day after Wei Qing left Xie Mansion, the rumors became even more intense.
"Have you heard? Wei Qing left the Xie Mansion. It was said that Miss Xie wanted to marry Wei Qing, but Wei Qing ran away."
"Isn't this too irresponsible? He did that to a girl and then just walked away."
"Yes, he deceived a girl's body and soul, and he was irresponsible. How can a girl live like this? I heard that Miss Xie was about to commit suicide."
"Actually, it's not necessarily that Wei Qing doesn't want to marry, it's probably that Shopkeeper Tang doesn't agree. For a man, isn't it a good thing to have more wives?"
"Don't be fooled by the gentle manner of Shopkeeper Tang. When he gets angry, he can be really scary. He'll hit you with a broom!"
"Manager Tang, this won't do. Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? She's so jealous, she's committed one of the seven grounds for divorce and should be divorced!"
"Yeah, I've got her man this time, but I'm not sure about the next time."
"Women should be more generous. Besides, isn't she pushing Miss Xie to death by doing this?"
"You all say that Shopkeeper Tang and Wei Qing are friendly, but I think they're mean. I won't buy rouge from their shop."
"I'm not going either. My sister-in-law is a regular customer here. I have to go back and tell her not to buy from here."
Seeing that the rumor was about to affect Baoqing Pavilion's business, Wei Qing became a little anxious. He turned around and saw his wife sitting behind the counter, looking at the account book with a calm expression.
Wei Qing walked up to his wife and stretched his head to look at her account book.
A furry head came over, and Tangli looked up and met her man's handsome face.
"What? Are you bored? Want to see the account book too?" Tang Li asked with raised eyebrows.
When Wei Qing saw the words, he felt overwhelmed and lost interest.
It is better to let him carry hundreds of kilograms of things than to let him look at the account books.
He shook his head quickly.
"Wife, this rumor can't be spread any further. I have to go and make it clear." Wei Qing said.
"How do you explain it clearly?" Tang Li asked.
"Find the brothers who found Xie Fangfei with me that day to testify for me, and let's find a place with many people to explain it clearly." Wei Qing said.
"What if people accuse you of being irresponsible and you try to make excuses? They'll poke holes in your spine and implicate your brothers as well."
Wei Qing grabbed a handful of hair. He was almost annoyed to death by having to endure this loss in silence.
Bang!
There was a noise outside.
Wei Qing quickly jumped up, rushed to the door, and looked outside. He saw a figure dive into the crowd and disappear in an instant.
Wei Qing turned around and saw a pile of rotten vegetable leaves on the ground. It was obvious that they were thrown by those people just now.
There were a bunch of people standing there pointing and talking.
"Miss Xie is so pitiful, yet they don't feel guilty at all. How could there be such people?"
"The shop owner is not a good person. The things he sells must not be very good!"
"This store is so unscrupulous, throwing away the vegetable leaves is a bargain for them!"
Wei Qing glared at him with a fierce look, scaring the gossiper away.
"Boss Wei, I'll clean it up, don't worry." Chang Lu hurried over, took the broom and started cleaning.
Wei Qing, like a frog, puffed up his courage and returned to Tang Li.
Tang Li looked at his angry look and felt a little amused, so he reached out and touched his head.
Wei Qing looked at his wife and suddenly thought of something: "Wife, do you have any idea?"
Tangli smiled even wider.
Wei Qing's eyes lit up.
My wife must have an idea!
Wei Qing sat down next to Tang Li.
He was almost suffocating from holding his breath, and if he continued to hold it in, he would definitely explode.
"Wife, please tell me."
His wife is so smart, she must have more ideas than him.
When it comes to brainpower, he still has to rely on his wife.
"Fight poison with poison." Tang Li said.
"What?"
"Xie Fangfei spread rumors and slandered you, so we can also spread rumors." Tang Li said.
Wei Qing's eyes lit up.
Yes!
Why didn't he think of that?!
Tang Li leaned close to Wei Qing and whispered to him for a while, and Wei Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter.
This is a good trick by my wife!
"Wife, leave the rest to me." Wei Qing said.
Tangli nodded.
"Be careful and don't let anyone see you." Tang Li instructed.
"Don't worry, wife."
He has a simple mind but strong limbs.
He can definitely do anything that requires using his limbs.
It was getting dark.
West Street, shrouded in darkness, is a dirty, poor place. This is the slum of Yaoshui Town, where many beggars also gather.
In an alley, a dozen dirty beggars were lying there.
In the darkness, a figure appeared in the alley.
"Want to make money?"
As soon as the man's voice came out, the dozen or so beggars immediately surrounded him.
The next day.
New rumors began to circulate.
The matter between Xie Fangfei and Wei Qing is now the topic of conversation among people in Yaoshui Town after dinner.
Once there is any sign of trouble, it will spread quickly.
"One of my relatives works at the Xie Mansion. He was one of the people who went to rescue Miss Xie. He said that there's actually a hidden story behind the incident between Miss Xie and Wei Qing. Guess what?"
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"It turns out that the person who spent the night with Miss Xie wasn't Wei Qing, but the robber! When Wei Qing and a few guards arrived, they saw Miss Xie's clothes were disheveled and there was that mark on her body."
"Oh my God, this is impossible?"
"Of course not. He was in a small wooden house. The door was locked, and it was Wei Qing who broke it open. There were several people there at the time."
Miss Xie and the robbers, this is much more exciting than being a security guard.
The rumor spread quickly.
Compared to a lady spending a night with a security guard, a lady spending a night with a robber is more explosive.
True and false, no one can tell which is true and which is false.
Not only that, the erotic affair between Miss Xie and the robber began to spread among the people, and the stories were told in such vivid detail that it seemed as if they had actually seen it.
Because the latter one is more erotic and more specific, it actually tends to overshadow the previous rumor.
Tangli had been in the town for a long time and had made many friends. In this situation, the voices that spoke for her gradually gained the upper hand.
"I also think the previous rumors are a bit strange. Shopkeeper Tang's husband treats her very well. How could he do something to let her down?"
"Yeah, they say Wei Qing and Miss Xie were in the same room. Did anyone see that? Maybe it's just a rumor spread by some people who are jealous of Shopkeeper Tang."
"Wei Qing left the Xie Mansion out of kindness, probably because he didn't want to affect Miss Xie's reputation. He was definitely not as irresponsible as the rumors said."
