Chapter 224 Reputation Ruined
"Yes, for a while now, everyone has been talking about Gu Xiangsi's good reputation. I thought she was a pure and beautiful woman! But I didn't expect her to be such a promiscuous and filthy woman. I really misjudged her!"
"This lady has a different opinion from you. From the first sight, I thought that Gu Xiangsi looked enchanting, like a seductive demon. She was not a good person at first glance! Fortunately, no one was bewitched by her."
"Yes, I also think that Gu Xiangsi is not a woman who stays content with her lot. It is indeed true."
"Wasn't Gu Qingcheng already betrothed to Prince Chang? After what happened, I guess the royal family won't want her anymore! This is truly shameful!"
Among all the discussions, the focus was mainly on Gu Xiangsi.
Princess Qinghe belongs to the host family and is the legitimate daughter of King Zhao. It is not appropriate to ridicule or scold her in person, and one must at least give her some face.
Gu Qingcheng had already been granted marriage to Prince Chang, and was considered half a royal family member. Talking too much would affect her brain and easily cause trouble, so not many people talked about her.
Among the three women, Gu Xiangsi became the focus of everyone's criticism.
There was an endless stream of discussion and abuse from everyone.
In an instant, Gu Xiangsi's reputation fell from heaven to hell.
He became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.
It even reached the point where anyone could kill him.
It has become a collection of various derogatory words such as shabby, lewd, shameless, lowly, and shameless.
Hearing these insults, Song Lianghua was so angry that his face turned red. He just wanted to find a hole to crawl into, hide there and never come out again.
She really didn't expect that her daughter's reputation would plummet and turn around so quickly.
Just now, Gu Xiangsi was highly sought after by everyone, but now she has to face everyone's extremely contemptuous looks and verbal criticism.
This made Song Lianghua feel uncomfortable all over, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
She was in disbelief and retorted in self-deception, "Impossible! ...Impossible! ...Absolutely impossible! How could it be Gu Xiangsi in there? You must have seen it wrong... You must have seen it wrong..."
In order to protect his daughter, Song Lianghua acted like a madman, constantly making hysterical roars.
"My daughter, Gu Xiangsi, is smart, capable, well-behaved, and sensible. She would never do such a shameless and immoral thing. Please stop talking nonsense. You must be mistaken... You must be mistaken..."
He pointed at the two ladies who had just spoken ill of Gu Xiangsi and angrily warned them, "If you continue to wantonly frame my daughter and defame her reputation, I will report you to the authorities and make sure you all pay the price. I will never let you go..."
A lady was a little frightened when she saw how crazy she was. She stammered, "We didn't say it was Gu Xiangsi who was inside. It was the maid from Prince Zhao's mansion who saw it with her own eyes. How could this be false?"
One lady couldn't stand Song Lianghua's vain face and said sarcastically, "You just said that a woman who behaved so shamefully should be beaten to death."
"I didn't expect it to be my beloved daughter. I wonder if it still counts now?"
"Don't be so rude when it comes to others, but when it comes to yourself, you try to get away with it, right?"
After saying this, he laughed loudly, with obvious provocation in his tone.
Song Lianghua still refused to admit it. "Of course it counts! But you falsely accused my daughter, that's another matter."
"In short, my daughter Gu Xiangsi would never do such a shameless thing."
At this time, more and more people got wind of the news and rushed over to watch the fun.
Prince Zhao, Huo Mao, Grand Tutor Gu, Gu Linchuan, Prince Gong, and others all rushed over.
The faces of Prince Zhao and Grand Tutor Gu were both gloomy, as if a violent storm was about to come, which was extremely terrifying.
When Lin Pianran saw them like this, she felt even happier, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
Baili Qingyun squeezed in from the back of the crowd. As soon as he approached, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "What's going on here? So many people have gathered here. Come on, tell me about it, and let me have some fun too..."
The gloating tone made Master Gu so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly. He really wanted to slap this tactless guy a few times.
Lin Pianran glanced at him unhappily.
This guy is really adding fuel to the fire, and he won't stop until things get out of hand.
When King Zhao saw this scene, he was afraid that the situation would get too serious and out of control, so he said to the guests present, "Dear guests, please move to the front hall. After I finish dealing with things here, I will definitely entertain you properly..."
This means that everyone should not continue to watch the fun here.
It also means to drive everyone away.
There was no way, many people were dispersed.
As the crown prince, Huo Yuchen was in a high position and had great power, so naturally no one dared to drive him away. Lin Pianran was lucky enough to stay and could continue to watch the fun.
King Zhao walked to Concubine Li again, pulled her aside, and carefully understood the situation inside.
Then, he rushed in angrily with his men.
After a while, several ragged men were pulled out.
Huo Yuchen quickly took Lin Pianran into his arms, and forcibly turned her face towards him, covering it tightly, not allowing her to look at those dirty and smelly men.
Lin Pianran clearly felt the strong possessiveness, and she just thought it was funny and cute.
She snuggled obediently in Huo Yuchen's arms, quietly listening to the discussions of the people around her.
Then, three more women came out after they had re-dressed themselves up, and were also helped out by the maids.
The three women now realized that they had been plotted against and had lost their innocence, and their faces were filled with fear and trepidation.
Gu Xiangsi and Princess Qinghe looked at each other, confusion in their eyes.
Princess Qinghe even came close to Gu Xiangsi and asked quietly, "What's going on? How could this happen?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiangsi also looked confused. She shook her head in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
The moment Gu Qingcheng saw Princess Qinghe, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Like a vicious tiger, he pounced on her fiercely and started fighting with her non-stop.
He kept cursing, "It's you... it's you little bitch who hurt me. I must beat you to death, you shameless bastard..."
Princess Qinghe has always been high and mighty, how could she allow herself to be beaten and scolded?
He immediately raised his hand and fought back.
The two noble ladies soon started fighting each other and the fight was fierce.
