When Hongmei heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that my uncle knew it was me? !
Hongmei felt a little panicked and couldn't help but secretly glance at Bei Yutang. Seeing the look in the lady's eyes, her heart settled down and her expression became much calmer.
Lu He and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Sir, what rumors?"
Lin's son said this without hesitation, and angrily retorted, "How dare you, you traitors, spread rumors outside? What are your intentions? Bei Yutang, you brought these people here with you. You need to give us a reasonable explanation for this matter."
I have been thinking about how to drive away these maids and old women these days. Now I have the chance.
Fu Yibo looked at her with the same eyes.
Lu He and Nanny Wang were completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
"YiBo, can you tell us what kind of rumors are spreading outside?" Bei Yutang asked calmly.
Fu Yibo said with a sullen face, "There are rumors circulating that I, Fu Yibo, look down on Li Xiucai and the others, that I don't take them seriously, and that I even mock them as mediocre. You know, if these rumors are true, my reputation will be ruined. Even if I pass the imperial examination, my future will be ruined."
Lin hadn't reacted to the first words, but when she heard the second words, her heart skipped a beat.
Bei Yutang looked at Lu He, Nanny Wang, and the others, and asked with a stern face, "Which of you is gossiping outside?"
When Lin heard this, she immediately concealed her guilty conscience and planned to shift the blame to them.
"You dogs, you want to harm my son. How did my son offend you that you want to harm him like this?" Lin began to turn the tables and started yelling in a singing and crying manner.
Nanny Wang and Nanny Liu waved their hands repeatedly, "Miss, Master, we really have never done such a thing. How could we possibly say such nonsense?"
Luhe and Hongmei also said that they had never said such words.
"I never said that. How could such a rumor be spread? Our Fu family doesn't dare to keep servants like you. You'd better leave here tomorrow." Lin took the opportunity to say.
Fu Yibo didn't say anything, but his attitude was there.
Bei Yutang looked at Fu Yibo, "Do you also think they said it? Perhaps someone outside is jealous of you and deliberately spreads such rumors? Have you checked it out?"
Fu Yibo was very displeased to see that she was still speaking for these servants at this time. He said with a cold face: "Someone has already told me that the rumor was spread by the family. In this family, apart from you guys, who else can do it? Mother would never say such things to harm me. If it's not them, could it be you?"
"Is that how you look at me?" Bei Yutang's face turned cold.
Fu Yibo was angry, and even though he realized that his words had hurt her, he couldn't bring himself to apologize to her.
Hongmei, watching the scene between the son-in-law and the young lady, had previously assumed that the son-in-law must have done something to wrong the young lady. However, she didn't know what it was. Now, seeing the way the son-in-law treated the young lady, she was even more certain that the son-in-law had done something to wrong the young lady.
Bei Yutang winked at Hongmei, and Hongmei understood.
Suddenly, Hongmei screamed.
"I remember now." Hongmei slapped her forehead and screamed.
