However, as the news spread, it gradually took a different turn, shifting the focus to Su Muxi.
"I've seen Su Muxi with my own eyes, and she's really not good-looking. No wonder Prince Yong'an was so eager to bring the woman back to his mansion!"
"I heard that Su Muxi is incredibly shameless. She even followed Prince Yong'an back to his residence, but she was kicked out by him shortly after entering!"
"People who are ugly don't even realize it; that's what you call ugly people causing trouble!"
"It's said that her medical skills aren't as amazing as others claim. The reason she was able to cure the heir of the Marquis of Anyang's leg is all thanks to her father!"
“My cousin’s neighbor delivers vegetables to the Marquis of Anyang’s residence. He heard from the servants that the reason the Marquis of Anyang’s heir divorced Su Muxi was because Su Muxi was unfaithful and had an affair behind his back!”
"Huh? Cheating? No way? She's so ugly, what man would want her?"
"You don't understand, do you? Although Su Muxi is a bit ugly, her figure is top-notch! As long as she covers her face and blows out the lamp... hehe!"
"Now that you mention it, I've heard about it too. It seems that Su Muxi often wears a veil when she goes to those brothels. So it's because she can't stand being alone!"
…
In an instant, Su Muxi went from being a pitiful abandoned woman to a shameless woman who did not uphold traditional virtues.
Although some people who went to Shancitang to see Su Muxi for treatment spoke well of her, people tend to believe the sensational news more.
Moreover, Su Muxi did indeed go to Xunfang Tower, otherwise how would she have encountered Prince Yong'an?
Lady Li, the wife of He Xing, the Vice Minister of War, also heard these rumors. She initially just scoffed at them and then ignored them.
Unexpectedly, this spectacle ended up happening to their own family.
"Madam, Old Feng, the coachman, had a few too many drinks last night and let it slip that the master is keeping a mistress outside, and he also said..."
Upon hearing the maid's words, Madam Li hurriedly pressed, "What else did she say?!"
The maidservant lowered her head and continued, "She also said that the woman was pregnant..."
"Bang!"
Upon hearing this, Li slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground.
No wonder the master has been looking so happy lately.
It turns out he had an affair with a vixen, and she got him pregnant!
Li had been married to He Xing for fifteen years, but had never conceived a child.
She had seen countless famous doctors, all of whom said there was nothing wrong with her body. She had also tried countless herbal medicines and folk remedies, but her stomach remained unchanged.
If it were any other matriarch, to show her magnanimity, she would certainly personally arrange for her husband to take a concubine in order to continue the family line.
But she didn't want to pretend to be magnanimous and let other women into the mansion.
Outsiders would laugh and say that the people in the Ministry of War were infatuated.
Minister of War Qiao Xiuyuan had only one wife, Jiang, while He Xing also had only one wife, Li.
The only difference is that the former is unwilling to marry, while the latter is afraid to marry.
This was because Li was a shrew, and a notorious jealous woman in the capital.
Li was so angry that she couldn't speak. It took her a long time to catch her breath before she could find her voice again.
"Call Lao Feng over here!"
She wanted to find out exactly which vixen had seduced her husband and gotten her pregnant with his illegitimate child!
