"Yes, I'll take care of it right away." The confidante nodded and turned to leave.
That afternoon, several men arrived in the capital: scholars, peddlers, laborers, farmers, and idle loafers.
They arrived together at the gate of Yunzhi's villa, each holding a keepsake belonging to Yunzhi. There were handkerchiefs, love poems, purses, and even personal clothing.
To watch the play, Madam Xu and Yunzhu specially found a teahouse not far from Yunzhi's villa. The mother and daughter reserved a private room facing the street, and then drank tea and ate snacks while keeping an eye on the situation outside Yunzhi's villa.
"Miss, something terrible has happened. A lot of men have come outside, all claiming to be your lovers, and demanding that you keep your promise and marry them."
As Rulan spoke, she looked at her mistress with concern.
This clearly indicates that someone is orchestrating this behind the scenes to smear their master. Otherwise, why would these people appear in the capital all at once, right after the young lady and the regent's wedding date was set?
They themselves know that someone is secretly plotting against them, but the common people don't. Now, those people are standing outside the villa, demanding that the young lady come out and give an explanation, which has already attracted a crowd.
If this continues, my reputation will be completely ruined. Then, the Regent will harbor resentment, and Miss's life will become very difficult.
"Let's go out and take a look." Yunzhi didn't seem to care much; the truth would eventually come out, and the falsehood would eventually become the truth.
She knew without guessing who was behind those things. Therefore, she directly ordered Rumei, "Go and find Xu Shi and Yun Cheng for me."
"Yes!" Ru Mei replied and went to take care of the matter.
Rulan accompanied Yunzhi as they walked through the gate.
The men who came to ask Yunzhi to fulfill her promise, as well as the onlookers, all became excited when they saw Yunzhi come out.
The men were captivated by Yunzhi's beauty, their eyes filled with both awe and lust. The onlookers, however, were curious to see how Yunzhi would resolve the situation.
Of course, some dim-witted people thought Yunzhi was too promiscuous, having affairs with many men. They believed it took two to tango, and since these people had tokens, they must be genuine.
In other words, Yunzhi must have had something going on with these people, otherwise where would they get the tokens?
Of course, some clever people saw through the scheme at a glance. They also realized that someone couldn't stand seeing Yunzhi doing well and was deliberately plotting against her.
There are also some who are just there to watch the show.
The news spread incredibly fast, and with Xu's deliberate manipulation, not only did many ordinary people come to watch, but also many people from the residences of officials and nobles.
After all, Yunzhi had already become their enemy by marrying the Regent Prince, bypassing their own daughters.
Now, who wouldn't be happy to see the enemy make a fool of themselves?
Princess Langhua also arrived and sat with Yunzhu and the others. She looked excitedly at the men surrounding Yunzhi and said to Yunzhu with a smile, "Yunzhu, you can finally vent your anger today."
Yunzhu smiled and replied, "Then I'll take the princess's auspicious words as a consolation."
She wanted to see Yunzhi suffer more than anyone else, and she knew better than anyone else that today's events were orchestrated by her mother. In the past, she thought her mother was useless, unable to even handle Yunzhi.
