Chapter 1115: One after another, the big melons can make people die of bloating
A huge melon suddenly fell, hitting the crowd of onlookers, and they all shuddered.
This melon is too big for them to carry!
If you are not careful, you will lose your head!
Everyone looked at each other in horror.
immediately--
"Come on...have some tea..."
“Eat melon seeds…eat melon seeds…”
Everyone shouted loudly, pretending that they had not heard anything just now.
"Oh, right, have you heard? The concubine of the Yongning Marquis's mansion is the girl from the Ye family that the Yongning Marquis' son was willing to bring into the mansion even at the cost of offending the Bai family..."
"What's the matter?"
"What else can I do? I'm crazy!"
People started a new round of gossip.
"What's wrong with you?"
The gossipers curled their lips and said, "It is said that she is unfaithful to her husband and seduces men in broad daylight. So, guess who she seduced?"
The expression becomes mysterious, trying to create a gossipy atmosphere.
"Who is it? It's definitely not you, Old Zhang..." someone said mockingly.
"Tsk! If it was Lao Zhang, would he still need her to seduce him?" Someone said with a smile: "She just stretched out her finger and Lao Zhang would crawl over on his knees..."
Everyone laughed.
Just as Lao Zhang was about to open his mouth to retort, someone immediately said, "Alright, Lao Zhang, stop listening to them. Tell me who it is and what's going on."
"Yes, yes, tell me quickly!" someone urged.
When Lao Zhang heard this, he didn't keep the secret any longer.
They were used to joking with each other anyway.
Then, he tucked his lips and said, "He is the new top scholar of the current era."
A crowd of onlookers: "..."
Well, it’s also a big melon!
The people eating onlookers all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
"No wonder, the top scholar is so talented and handsome that he is liked by many young girls and wives..." someone said sourly.
"Then... does the number one scholar have..." Someone gave a look that you know what I mean.
Everyone naturally understood and looked at Lao Zhang.
"He's a top scholar, so naturally he wouldn't look down on a concubine like her!" Old Zhang said disdainfully, "He's well-read, self-disciplined and respectful, so naturally he wouldn't do anything that goes against the rules."
The idler gossiping about the Second Prince said, "In my opinion, if it weren't for that bastard Prince of Western Qin, it would be like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh! Our Princess of Dayan and the newly crowned number one scholar are the most suitable match!"
The idle man's words immediately aroused people's approval.
You know, the storytellers in teahouses often tell stories about the top scholar being recruited as the concubine of the emperor.
Over time, they came to think that the princess and the new top scholar were an official match.
"That Western Qin Crown Prince, isn't he the Second Prince..."
Someone said this, aligning and nodding the index fingers of both hands.
"But!" Someone slammed the table, remembering the first big news, "Why doesn't he ask to marry the Second Prince?"
“That’s right…”
Everyone's topic was immediately diverted.
Fortunately, some people still remember the latest gossip.
"Lao Zhang, tell us quickly, what happened next?" someone urged.
"Yes, yes! Tell me quickly..."
Everyone's attention was back.
"What else could it be? He was caught!" Old Zhang said, "Just tell me, how could it be such a coincidence that he was caught red-handed by the Prince and his wife of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion?"
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip!
"Oh my! So the prince of Yongning Marquis's Mansion must be so angry that he must die," someone shouted gloatingly.
"That's right!" Old Zhang smacked his lips and said, "It is said that he beat the man half to death, then took him back, and then he went crazy..."
After hearing this, everyone who was watching showed an expression of understanding.
Naturally, wealthy families have plenty of ways to deal with concubines who cheat on their husbands.
Being crazy is a mild crime, and most people will die quietly.
"What do you think... why is this girl from the Ye family so fickle?" someone sighed.
"That's right! I heard that the youngest daughter of the Ye family's eldest wife had already been engaged, but now her husband has come to break off the engagement..."
"The Ye family has a daughter who has brought disgrace upon the family. I'm afraid all the other girls in the family will be implicated in the future..."
“…”
Everyone started discussing the gossip about the Yongning Marquis Mansion and the Ye family.
It seemed as if he had forgotten the shocking news he had just heard.
However, once some things have been exposed, they are quietly revealed to more and more people.
Something has begun brewing in the darkness...
At this moment, the idle man who was originally gossiping about the Second Prince lowered his eyes, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, covering up the gleam that flashed quickly in his eyes.
When the person who exposed the gossip at the table left, he immediately put down his tea bowl and followed him without making a sound...
**
Princess's Mansion.
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin looked at each other, and both of them showed an expression of "as expected".
"It turns out that what the emperor uncle lost was indeed the imperial seal." Tang Bao sighed.
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
Pursed her lips.
It seems that the person behind the scenes has lost his patience and started to jump around.
Zhang Cheng, the idler in the teahouse, looked at Tang Bao and then at Xuanyuan Jin.
My two masters, why don't you look shocked at all?
You know, this is a major event that can shake the foundation of the country!
From time to time, he disguises himself as a sloppy man and goes to teahouses to listen to gossip, or perhaps deliberately spreads some gossip. Is it easy?
"Your Highness, Princess, you... all know?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Zhang Cheng with disdain.
"Is your head solely focused on getting married?" Xuanyuan Jin said venomously, "You've been busy dealing with women's cosmetics all day. I'm afraid your head has been completely smeared with cosmetic paste!"
Zhang Cheng: “…”
Master, we don't make personal attacks...
No, what does this have to do with me getting married?
Li Er is a fool, and his son is just a bystander.
I am such a smart and brave young man, but I am still single. What's wrong with wanting to get married?
Zhang Cheng felt wronged.
Master, you can’t take your anger out on others just because you were almost sold out by Fu Ya and almost had the Third Prince’s consort by your side!
However, even though Zhang Cheng was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare show it on his face.
My master has been in a bad mood these days. He is dissatisfied with everyone and makes sarcastic remarks to everyone he meets.
If his master found out anything, he would definitely be ridiculed by his master.
"I have always been stupid, so naturally I am not as foresighted as you!" Zhang Cheng flattered him bluntly.
"Hmph! You're quite self-aware." Xuanyuan Jin snorted and said.
Zhang Cheng: “…”
Touched his nose.
Tang Bao looked at Zhang Cheng sympathetically.
It's unfortunate to have such a vicious master.
"Brother Zhang, do you have any more flawless cream?" Tang Bao said, "If you don't have any, just tell me. I'll give you as much as you want!"
"Yes! Thank you, Princess!" Zhang Cheng said with a grateful look on his face, clasping his fists. "The scar on Yu'er's face has healed a lot."
Tang Bao nodded.
Tang Bao has long known that Zhang Cheng has a sweetheart.
However, the girl had been in a fire and was severely burned.
Although he survived, his face was disfigured.
Over the years, the two have been on and off, and have been in a love-torn relationship.
Others don’t know what to say, they can only give their blessings.
"Have you found out who spread the news?" Xuanyuan Jin asked Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "I quietly followed that person to Chunliu Lane. He entered a house and never came out again..."
"Send someone to keep an eye on that house!" Xuanyuan Jin ordered.
"Master, rest assured. I've already assigned the task. Someone will be guarding outside for twelve hours." Zhang Cheng said, "I've also instructed spies to secretly investigate that person's identity and background, as well as his regular contacts..."
If he didn't want to catch the big fish behind him, he would have arrested the man long ago.
Of course, this person may not be the source of the news.
But it's still a clue after all.
