Chapter 12 Who leaked it?
After she finished her snacks and drank a few cups of tea, someone came.
"Madam, Qingju, who works for the old lady, is here. She said the old lady wants you to come over."
Nanny Pang looked worried, but Qingjue was a little girl, so tight-lipped that she couldn't get anything out of him.
The old lady had never liked her daughter and had not even attended the family recognition ceremony. Aunt Pang was feeling very upset.
Not to mention being unwell, she heard that on the morning of the day of the recognition, the old lady walked several laps in the Rongshou Hall courtyard after dinner.
It can be seen that he is in high spirits.
Now she specially invited the girl to Rongshou Hall, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing.
Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "It's not a dangerous place. Please don't frown. Mother is also in Rongshou Hall. With her protecting me, nothing can happen."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Pang breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Lu had her gray hair combed straight and smooth. She was wearing a dark blue silk dress and had a long and thin face. She looked gloomily at Yuan Wanru who had stepped into the main hall and said, "Evil creature, kneel down!"
The voice was full of energy, not like that of a person who had just recovered from an illness.
Yuan Wanru was not stupid, so she would not kneel down obediently. She looked at Old Madam Lu in confusion: "I wonder what Wanru did wrong to make Old Madam so angry?"
Wang Min immediately stood up and protected the person behind her: "Old Madam, the matter has not been clarified yet, why are you in such a hurry to make Wanru kneel down?"
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat stagnant. Zhou Fang advised in a low voice: "Don't be angry, old lady. Your health is the most important thing. If the second master knew that you were so angry, I'm afraid he would rush back from the government office immediately."
"Sister-in-law, you are really something. The younger generation should obey the orders of the elders."
"Since she did such a wicked thing and made the old lady so angry, shouldn't she kneel down? If she makes the old lady angry and the Marquis investigates, my sister-in-law won't be able to bear the consequences."
This is not persuasion at all, it's clearly adding fuel to the fire.
As expected, Madam Lu became even angrier: "She has been looking forward to pissing me off to death. Is she doing whatever she wants without a clear conscience?"
"Look at the kind of wife she found for Jiang Nian. It's ok if she has a humble family background, but can someone with bad character marry in?"
"Yusong is my savior. They treat Yusong like this. Do they want to piss her off and make me die of illness and pain?"
She was shaking with anger, but Wang Min spoke softly, not affected at all: "Wanru is the daughter-in-law recognized by the Marquis. If the old lady wants to blame you, then go and find the Marquis to argue."
"We are talking about another matter now, why bother involving other things."
Liang Yusong, whose eyes were red, had a slight twinkle in her eyes. She suddenly stood up, took Madam Lu's hand, and gently advised: "Madam, your love and care, Yusong is deeply grateful to you."
"Yusong just wants to make things clear. If the old lady gets hurt because of this, Yusong will feel uneasy."
She turned to Wang Min and smiled: "Aunt Lu is right, the matter has not been clarified yet, maybe this is just a misunderstanding."
"Old Madam, calm down and listen to what Miss Yuan has to say."
Old Madam Lu liked Liang Yusong very much, and after her consolation, he finally sat down again.
"The evidence is irrefutable. There must be some misunderstanding."
"You are just too soft-hearted, that's all."
"I want to hear what this evildoer's intentions are."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiangnian, who had been standing at the door for a while, walked in confidently.
Liang Yusong lowered her eyes to hide the dark light in them. When she saw a piece of robe corner just now, she had a hunch that the person standing outside must be Lu Jiangnian.
It is true.
After recognizing each other as relatives, Yuan Wanru never saw Lu Jiangnian again.
Today he was wearing a dark green coat and a white jade pendant with double dragon patterns hung around his waist, which made him look even more handsome, noble and proud.
His expression was calm as he greeted all the elders.
When Madam Lu saw her grandson, she suppressed her anger and asked with a smile, "Why are you here at this time?"
Lu Jiangnian handed over the long box in his hand: "I happened to get a ginseng, and I wanted to use it to nourish my grandmother, so I returned home."
"Child, I'll send you the ginseng another day. It will be the same. Grandmother knows how filial you are."
"There's nothing important here, just go and do your thing."
Lu Jiangnian stood straight, with no intention of leaving.
"Something seems to have happened in the mansion. Is it related to Yuan Shi? If so, I should stay."
Mrs. Lu didn't want her grandson to get involved, but then she thought that it might be a good thing if Jiang Nian could see Yuan Wanru's vicious heart.
Wang Min took Yuan Wanru and asked her to sit down.
Fortunately, his son arrived in time. His wife was in trouble, and as a husband, how could he just ignore it?
-
It turned out that it was because of the incident in which Liang Yusong sneaked away to Yanmen County.
"Your mother and I both ordered that no one should talk about that matter, but this morning, Yu Shuang was walking in the garden and heard two little maids discussing it."
"Upon investigation, it turned out that the words came from Yuan's mouth."
"The words were so nasty. How could a little girl like Yusong bear such foul language? She was so angry that she didn't even have breakfast. Her eyes were swollen from crying."
"She saved me several times. Her father wrote a personal letter to entrust her to our Lu family. Is this how we treat people?"
"She, Yuan Wanru, must give Yu Shuang an explanation for this matter. If you still recognize me as your elder, you are not allowed to beg for mercy."
The old lady's face turned pale and she pointed at Yuan Wanru.
Liang Yusong's eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed a few times: "Brother Lu, you don't know, they actually said... said..."
"I am a noble lady from an official family. I am going to Yanmen County. I don't know if I will encounter any scandals on the way. No wonder people are talking about me."
"They also said that I might not even be... innocent..."
Tears fell down, and the little girl looked as aggrieved as she could be.
She looked at Yuan Wanru, pitiful and said, "Miss Yuan, I'm sorry. The night we returned to Beijing was a good day for you. If I were more powerful, I would have cured the old lady earlier and would not have disturbed you."
"Also, you have to believe me. Although Brother Lu and I met in Yanmen County, nothing happened between us."
"If you are angry, you can vent it on me, but you should never destroy my reputation."
"If my mother heard these words, I don't know how sad she would be."
Lu Jiangnian frowned slightly, and glanced over with a sharp gaze, examining her.
Yuan Wanru was not afraid at all. She opened her beautiful eyes and glared back mercilessly.
She looked around and said in a loud voice: "I didn't do it."
"There were so many people at Rongshou Hall that day. How can you prove that I was the one who spread the news?"
"Miss Liang and I just met for the first time, there is really no need to harm you."
"The Lu family has a clean and upright family tradition. My husband is a child raised by his parents, so he is well-mannered, polite, steady and serious. I have never had any doubts about my husband. Miss Liang's words just now are really puzzling."
Liang Yusong seemed to be speechless and could only mutter: "Miss Yuan..."
Madam Lu couldn't bear to see her so pitiful, she sneered: "Do you think I would come to you without evidence?"
"Bring the man up."
