Chapter 1378: Forced to Eavesdrop
"But, Bai Shuzhi has been unlucky ever since we started discussing marriage." Xia Siya bit her lip and said, "If he hadn't returned to Qingzhou Prefecture, but instead participated in the Autumn Examination in the capital, he might have won first place in one fell swoop..."
Xia Siya later found out that the Bai family had already made arrangements so that Bai Shuzhi could take part in the autumn examination in the capital without having to travel thousands of miles to his hometown in Qingzhou Prefecture.
However, because of the marriage proposal with her, and the appearance of the Empress Dowager in Qingzhou Prefecture, the eldest master of the Bai family decided to bring his son Bai Shuzhi, who was preparing for the exam, back with him and let Bai Shuzhi take part in the Autumn Examination in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Then, by chance, Bai Shuzhi met Su Laowu, the top scholar.
If Bai Shuzhi had participated in the Autumn Examination in the capital, and Su Laowu had not been blocking his way, he might have become the top scorer.
Not only that, Bai Shuzhi failed in the spring examination and didn't even pass the imperial examination to become a Jinshi.
Furthermore, although Xia Siya didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the reason why Zou Shuqin was able to hook up with Bai Shuzhi was indeed because of her.
Otherwise, Bai Shuzhi had been in Beijing for so many years, and Zou Shuqin had not been able to say a word to Bai Shuzhi.
Now, Bai Shuzhi was castrated by Zou Shuqin on his wedding night...
Tang Bao understood what Xia Siya was thinking before she finished speaking.
"Sister Siya, you can't think like that!" Tang Bao said righteously, "Bai Zha Zha has fallen into this situation because of his poor character!"
"He knew that Zou Shuqin was your cousin, yet he still wanted to have an affair with her!"
"He's fickle, philandering, and lacks moral integrity. He's also arrogant and conceited! His failure in the Spring Imperial Examination was his own fault!"
"Think about it, while other candidates were studying diligently for the exam, he was having an affair with his fiancée's cousin. It would be unjust for him not to fail!"
Tang Bao said this and turned around to call for the allies.
"Don't you think so?" Tang Bao asked Princess Linghua.
Princess Linghua naturally nodded vigorously.
"That's right! That scumbag Bai got Zou Shuqin pregnant, but he refused to give her a legitimate marriage and insisted on marrying someone else." Princess Linghua said disdainfully, "Although I completely agree with this, from a woman's perspective, Bai Shuzhi's behavior is truly despicable. He deserves to be castrated by Zou Shuqin. If it were me, I would do the same!"
"You heard Sister Siya." Tang Bao said, "Bai Shuzhi's fall into this situation has nothing to do with you."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she waited quietly for Xia Siya to figure it out herself.
She believed that Xia Siya was an open-minded person and would be able to resolve the knot in her heart soon.
Tang Bao and the other two were standing behind a cluster of dense flowers when they heard footsteps in the distance.
Then, a faint whisper was heard.
"Have you heard? Something big happened to the Bai family!"
"What's the big deal?"
"The Third Young Master of the Bai Family was..."
The voice lowered.
Tang Bao and Princess Linghua looked at each other.
How come I keep encountering this kind of thing wherever I go?
It wasn't that they wanted to eavesdrop, the sound was just coming into their ears on its own.
"Oh, right, I heard it was Xia Siya's Third Young Master Bai!" A girl said mysteriously, "Think about it, how brilliant and talented was the Third Young Master back then? How learned and gifted was he? But after getting engaged to Xia Siya, not only did he fail the imperial examination, he was also entangled by Xia Siya's cousin..."
"That makes a lot of sense." Another girl's voice sounded thoughtful, "Maybe Xia Siya is a jinx! Whoever gets involved with her will be unlucky..."
"Really? I heard that many people inside and outside the palace are saying that whoever marries Shasyakov will be unlucky..."
"Bullshit!" Princess Linghua rushed out, pointing at the girls and cursing, "Stop spouting shit here! Xia Siya isn't a jinx, she's a lucky charm!"
The girls were startled when they saw Princess Linghua suddenly jump out.
"Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on other people's conversations?" a girl said unhappily.
Another girl also said, "Why are you speaking so vulgarly? We didn't spread the story of Shasyakov. We heard it from others, okay?"
"That's right, you have the ability to shut everyone's mouth!"
"You..." Princess Linghua was furious. She pointed at the girls and gasped for breath. "Okay! Then I'll block your mouths first!"
After Princess Linghua finished speaking, she pulled out the cork from the bottle and poured out the pills.
She poisoned and silenced all these people today!
"Sister Siya...Sister Siya..." Tang Bao's anxious voice sounded.
Princess Linghua looked back and saw Xia Siya running away.
Tang Bao followed Xia Siya closely and ran after her.
"Look at what you've done! If anything happens to Xia Siya, I, Princess Linghua, will not let you go!" Princess Linghua pointed at the girls and shouted, "Princess Fude won't let you go either. Just wait for her to ride on Dabai and come to your house to talk to you about life!"
Several girls showed panic on their faces.
The name "Dabai" is very famous in the capital!
The story of Tang Bao riding Dabai and smashing up the Empress Dowager's family home had already spread throughout the capital.
"We heard this from others, it's none of our business!"
After one girl finished speaking, she signaled the other girls to leave quickly.
Princess Linghua was not willing to let them go like this, after all, she had not given them the medicine yet!
"Stop! Don't go!" Princess Linghua shouted.
"Princess, go find the person who spread the rumors!" A girl said helplessly, "We are truly innocent."
After saying that, he called a few girls and quickly slipped into the path among the flowers.
However, just as they hid in the path, someone came towards them.
The girls' eyes lit up, and they all knelt down and saluted with shy faces.
"Meet the Third Prince."
"Greetings, Third Prince..."
The voice is like water, soft and gentle.
There were even two girls who quietly raised their eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Jin with an expression as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Jin didn't even glance at the girls.
His gaze turned directly to Princess Linghua behind him.
"Where is Tangbao?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
Princess Linghua pointed in the direction Tang Bao left and said, "He went over there!"
Xuanyuan Jin nodded and finally looked at the girls in front of him.
—blocking his way!
Xuanyuan Jin frowned, lifted his right foot, and turned into a side road.
Lord Linghua opened his mouth.
She wanted to ask Xuanyuan Jin why he was looking for Tang Bao?
However, Xuanyuan Jin's figure disappeared too quickly.
Before Princess Linghua could ask, Xuanyuan Jin had already disappeared.
"He left so quickly. I wonder if he has something urgent to do with Su Tang?" Princess Linghua muttered to herself.
