Enraged, Qian Qingqing waved her hand, flung down the curtain, and rode away in her carriage.
"Who exactly is spreading these rumors behind the scenes?"
Li Youran frowned and muttered to herself.
Overnight, as if blown by the wind, rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys.
"Dajun, turn back."
Li Youran felt increasingly frustrated, so she decided not to go to the secret base; she was determined to catch the person behind it all.
It must be understood that a woman's reputation is of paramount importance in this society. This person deliberately spread such rumors, clearly intending to destroy Li Liyou.
She had planned to wear a veil to the teahouse to find out who was maliciously spreading such rumors, but she was caught red-handed by Tian Alang as soon as she got home.
"Leisurely!"
It seems that Tian Alang has grown taller in the few days since I last saw him.
Li Youran sighed inwardly, thinking how wonderful it was to be a boy. At the same age, she had already stopped growing taller, but Tian Alang was still growing.
"Don't get upset. Those hurtful words were deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives. I've already sent people to investigate who's behind it."
Li Youran thought Tian Alang was referring to the results of the imperial examination, but she never expected that he had come for her.
Am I the kind of person who takes this kind of thing to heart?
Li Youran said, feigning nonchalance.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Li Youran looked at Tian Alang with a loving mother's smile.
"Miss Jiang brings you a fruit basket every day, what are you really thinking?"
It turns out that the fruit basket Liu Zhiyuan brought to Li Youran that day wasn't meant to give her fruit, but rather to tell her that Jiang Qianqian had taken a liking to Tian Alang.
"We've been tricked..."
Thinking back to the day Liu Zhiyuan suddenly asked for the fruit basket, it wasn't until today that I realized I had been tricked by Liu Zhiyuan.
"You Ran, please don't misunderstand, there's nothing between me and Miss Jiang."
Tian Alang's first reaction was to explain the matter to Li Youran.
Speaking of Jiang Qianqian, Tian Alang had a real headache.
She was incredibly stubborn; even though he had clearly said he didn't want fruit, she still insisted on bringing him fruit every day.
"You idiot, Qingqing is such a good girl, everyone else would love to have her."
Li Youran said with a sense of disappointment.
Tian Alang wanted to confess his feelings to Li Youran again, but he felt that Li Youran must be in a bad mood because of the scandal, so he swallowed his words.
"Although Li Youran is the Second Prince's sister, her past experiences are far too complicated, and she is not a good match for our Jiaqiang'er. Let's put the blind date on hold for now."
Madam Wu originally intended to compete with Madam Wu Er to see who could marry Li Youran, but who knew that Li Youran would be involved in such a scandal.
Mr. Wu was a man who valued his reputation highly. After learning about Li Youran's past, he directly rejected what Mrs. Wu had said the night before.
"It's all a mix of truth and falsehood; who knows how much of it is fabricated? If we give up this opportunity and let Wu Er's wife marry Li Youran into our family, our eldest branch will have no chance of recovery."
Mr. Wu ignored what Mrs. Wu said and left directly.
"After all these years, nothing has changed. I only care about this face every day."
Madam Wu didn't think that everything Mr. Wu said was right. On the contrary, she thought that by proposing a blind date while Li Youran was being slandered, she could extend an olive branch and perhaps win Li Youran back.
"Xiao Hong, take the carriage to the Second Prince's residence to deliver the invitation."
After Madam Wu finished speaking, she hurriedly called the maid back.
As soon as Li Youran was involved in a scandal, she sent her an invitation to visit him, as if she were the one who spread the rumors and wanted to take advantage of his misfortune.
Thinking of this, Madam Wu seemed to remember something and turned to instruct her maid to keep an eye on Madam Wu's movements.
Madam Wu felt that it was very likely that the Second Madam was behind it.
Li Youran was unaware that the Second Prince's Consort, Liu Zhiyuan, and Tian Alang had all sent people to search for the person behind the trouble.
"Miss Li, you still remember me?"
As soon as Li Youran entered the room, Hua Ruyu teased her.
Since Hua Ruyu entered the General's Mansion, Li Youran has been so busy that he hasn't had time to make her a hot pot.
She came here for two reasons: first, to visit Hua Ruyu, and second, to ask Hua Ruyu for a few servants.
"This is the kind of thing that disgusts me the most."
After learning the whole story, Hua Ruyu slammed her fist on the wheelchair, almost breaking it.
Seeing this, Li Youran hurriedly and distressedly rubbed the wheelchair.
"However, the people here are good at fighting, but not at gathering information."
"I have my own clever use for it."
