Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yu entered the room, he frowned and covered his nose: "What's that smell? It's so strong?"
Shen Ruorou smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I just spilled the rouge..."
Xiao Yu ignored her and walked straight to Shen Weiwan's yard. At this time, Shen Weiwan was sitting under the grape trellis eating iced sour plum soup. Seeing Xiao Yu coming, she quickly stood up and saluted.
"How come you have time to come here, Your Highness?"
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "I heard someone is spreading rumors about you in the capital?"
Shen Weiwan took the paper and looked at it. It really said something like "The daughter of the general's mansion couldn't tolerate her cousin and framed her." She couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness also believes this?"
"Of course I don't believe it," Xiao Yu reached out to wipe the sour plum juice from the corner of her mouth, "but I heard that someone paid off a few storytellers in order to clear their name."
Shen Weiwan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Is that true?"
"Why do you think so many rumors that distort the truth suddenly appeared?" Xiao Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice.
Shen Weiwan suddenly realized and couldn't help but applaud: "Good job, Shen Ruorou! Not only did you fail to steal things, you also want to play a public opinion war?"
"But she obviously forgot," Xiao Yu chuckled, "She's still a little naive when it comes to manipulating public opinion in the capital."
Shen Weiwan looked at the smile in Xiao Yu's eyes and suddenly understood something: "Did Your Highness know this a long time ago?"
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "This prince just asked someone to check it out, but I didn't expect that they actually found something." He clapped his hands, and a servant walked in from outside with a cloth bag in his hand.
"This is the silver we found from the storyteller," the servant put the cloth bag on the table. "And this," he took out a letter, "is a letter from Miss Shen Er to the storyteller."
Shen Weiwan opened the letter and saw that it was indeed Shen Ruorou's handwriting. It described how to fabricate rumors and how to guide public opinion. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Shen Ruorou, Shen Ruorou, you are walking into the trap!"
"What should we do now?" Chuntao couldn't help asking.
Shen Weiwan raised a wicked smile at the corner of her mouth: "What to do? Of course, make these things... public!"
That evening, storytellers in all the major teahouses in the capital received a "gift." The next morning, the entire capital was in an uproar.
"Oh my god! Miss Shen Er not only stole things, but also paid the storyteller to spread rumors!"
"Isn't this too vicious? You did something bad yourself, and you still want to throw dirty water on others?"
"Tsk tsk, she's brought shame upon the General's Mansion!"
Shen Ruorou hid in the house, listening to the discussions outside the window, feeling dizzy. She knew that she was completely finished.
At this time, Shen Weiwan was sitting in the yard, looking at the iced sweet cakes that Xiao Yu had sent over, and was in a good mood.
"Miss, you are really amazing!" Chun Tao couldn't help but admire, "This trick of giving someone a taste of their own medicine is absolutely amazing!"
Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course. Fight with me? She's still too early!"
Xiao Yu leaned against the door frame, looking at her smug look, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't be so proud. This prince asks you, what are you going to do next?"
Shen Weiwan blinked and suddenly moved closer to him: "Your Highness, what do you think will happen if these evidences are sent to the palace?"
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing," Shen Weiwan smiled like a cat stealing fish, "I just feel that for some people, just confinement for three months is too easy for her, right?"
Xiao Yu looked at the gleam in her eyes and suddenly felt that this woman was becoming more and more interesting.
"It's up to you," Xiao Yu chuckled, "but this prince reminds you that the waters in the palace are very deep."
"What are you afraid of?" Shen Weiwan raised an eyebrow, "No matter how deep the water is, it can't drown someone who can swim."
Seeing her confident expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that the capital would probably be bustling again. And he was happy to accompany her and watch this good show.
Shen Ruorou, ah Shen Ruorou, do you think this is just a sisterly feud? You are wrong. This is the real beginning. Shen Weiwan looked at the sunset in the sky, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Next, she wanted to let everyone know what the consequences of offending her, Shen Weiwan, would be!
