Liang's clarification also indirectly cleared Wei Junhang's suspicion of her.

When Wei Junhang first heard those rumors, he was so angry that he started cursing, and Qiao Liu, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.

I've known this guy for so many years, but I've never seen him lose his temper like this. He is a well-known smiling tiger, smiling in front of others but doing sinister things behind their backs. It's easy for anyone to be so desperate as to provoke him.

After all, this guy dared to plot against the emperor. Don't you see that your Majesty has lost a lot of hair recently because of the repeated memorials from the Duke of England?

He suddenly felt some sympathy for the person who slandered Shen Xinyan behind her back.

How could there be such a person in this world who is unable to accept the truth?

"My Lord, we have found out that the rumor came from Qi's residence in the west of the city." Finally, the person who was sent out to investigate came back to report.

"The person surnamed Qi? Who is that person? Why would he want to hurt my wife?" Wei Junhang asked repeatedly.

"Hey, Wei Er, please loosen your grip first. You're about to strangle him to death." Qiao Liu cleared his throat and warned.

Wei Junhang then realized that he had grabbed the other person's collar with such force that the poor subordinate's face turned blue.

He quickly let go and touched his nose awkwardly. After thinking about it, he felt a little guilty and patted the other person's back considerately, but he didn't expect that the other person would cough again.

Qiao Liu stroked his forehead and couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"I don't know the details, I only know that the lady head of the Qi residence is surnamed Shen, and she is also from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion." After a long moment, the subordinate cleared his throat and reported.

"Oh, so it's a fratricide." Qiao Liu suddenly realized.

Wei Junhang glared at him angrily: "How can you tell that it was a fratricide? It's obvious that someone was jealous and secretly hurting them."

Qiao Liu shrugged his shoulders, looking like he didn't care what you said.

"Find a way to pass the information you found out to the people on Madam's side." Because the instigator came from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, Wei Junhang decided to let Madam deal with it.

The man retreated in response.

On the other side, Shen Xinyan soon found out that the origin of the rumor was Shen Xinlan.

She was not too surprised by this result.

Since she could say that the Marquis of Jing'an and his wife would divorce as soon as she left, this person must have some connection with the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. The second and third branches have never been troublemakers, so Liang's suspicion can be ruled out. The only one left is Shen Xinlan.

After all, she is a married woman in the mansion, and the people in the mansion may not be on guard against her. If she reveals even the slightest bit of information, given Shen Xinlan's personality, it would not be strange for her to express herself and involve herself in the matter.

It’s true… She sighed helplessly.

I thought that after all we were sisters, and we should just stay away from each other for the rest of our lives and live happily. But I didn't expect that she would still not let go of any opportunity to cause trouble for her.

"This third girl is really going too far!" Xia He gritted her teeth in hatred, and Chun Liu beside her also looked like they shared the same hatred for the enemy.

Qiu Tang was also very upset, but she was much calmer than them. She thought for a while and said, "But there is no solid evidence in this matter. The third lady can just refuse to admit it."

How could Shen Xinyan not know that this was the most disgusting part.

However...

She smiled slightly: "I seem to have heard that the third sister hooked up with Sister Luo not long ago, and wanted to get in touch with Sister Luo and find a good job for her husband."

Qiu Tang was startled at first, then suddenly realized and smiled, "I think I've heard of it too."

Seeing that the two were just smiling at each other, Xia He and Chun Liu looked at each other, both in a daze.

"Madam, what do you mean?" Xia He couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that her master was just smiling and sipping tea, with no intention of explaining, Qiu Tang accepted the task and said, "Ms. Luo is now the wife of Li Shilang, the Minister of Personnel. Li Shilang was promoted to the position not long ago, and his foundation is not stable at the moment. Madam Li naturally understands this and will not cause trouble for her husband. If the news of Third Aunt's demotion that day reached Madam Li's ears, with her prudence..."

Xia He and Chun Liu suddenly understood.

"Okay, what are you all standing here for? Go and do your own thing!" Shen Xinyan said, wiping the corner of his lips.

"Hey!" The three of them responded in unison, smiled at each other, covered their mouths and walked out.

Shen Xinyan smiled and shook her head helplessly.

Although Luo Xiuxiu has known her since childhood and has always looked down on concubines, she is an acquaintance of Shen Xinlan because of her connections. Shen Xinlan used her connections to get in touch with Luo Xiuxiu, hoping to get through Luo Xiuxiu's way to find another way out for Qi Liuxiu, but it all depends on whether she agrees!

Originally, she really planned to never have anything to do with Shen Xinlan again for the rest of her life, but she chose to provoke herself. If she didn't know how to fight back after being bullied like this, she would be too incompetent!

However, Luo Xiuxiu felt very uncomfortable seeing Shen Xinlan being so humble and flattering to her these days, and she thought that she might as well give her a little sweetness. After all, it felt so good to have Shen Xinlan's sister trying so hard to please her!

As soon as she expressed this idea, her trusted maidservant shouted "No".

"Why not? I've inquired about it. Shen Xinlan's husband Qi Liuxiu is a second-class graduate. His resume is not bad. If I give him a little mention, it might not be a bad idea to have an assistant for him in the future."

"Madam, you don't know that Lord Qi has a bad character. If you promote him, if something happens to him in the future, it may affect your official reputation."

"Bad character? Where does that come from?" Luo Xiuxiu was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"I heard that the reason why Lord Qi was demoted was not because he made mistakes while on duty, but because he had bad behavior and seduced a girl from a noble family, which offended the nobles and caused him to lose his good job."

Luo Xiuxiu frowned.

They have actually offended the nobleman. In this case, the Qi couple... must stay away from them to avoid being implicated.

When Shen Xinlan came to ask to see Luo Xiuxiu for the third time and was rejected by the servants of the Li Mansion with various reasons, she finally felt that something was wrong. The other party was not too busy to get away, but just didn't want to see her again.

What on earth is going on? Everything was apparently fine before, and Luo Xiuxiu had already let it go. She saw that her husband might be able to find a good job again through Minister Li, but he was just one step away from success, and yet he failed?

She became more and more unwilling. After thinking over and over again, she couldn't understand why Luo Xiuxiu suddenly changed her mind. She didn't know why she thought of Shen Xinyan, and then she recalled the words she had accidentally let slip not long ago, and she suddenly felt guilty.

Could it be that Shen Xinyan found out that I was the one who hurt her behind her back? However, there was no evidence to prove that I said it, so why would she suddenly turn against me? Although I thought so, there was a voice in my heart.

Of course, given her current status, if she wants, she can just poke you lightly and make you unable to stand up again.

She bit her lips tightly and twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly for a long time, then left reluctantly.

Not long after, Shen Xinyan also found out that Shen Xinlan was rejected by Luo Xiuxiu. She knew that her counterattack was effective and Shen Xinlan's efforts were in vain again.

"What are you doing? You want to make me unhappy when I have a good life. Aren't you just asking for trouble?" she said to herself.

"Madam, everything is ready, it's time to go!" Chunliu lifted the curtain and walked in. Just after she finished speaking, a small figure slipped in from her side. It was Xiao Yingzhi.

"Mom, let's go, let's go to my aunt's house!" The little girl pulled her hand and swayed coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, stop shaking. It's making my eyes dizzy." Shen Xinyan was helpless.

Wei Chenglin, who had just walked into the room, saw this and quickly carried his sister away.

"Mom, Dad is ready too, he's just waiting for you."

Today is Princess Qiongshu's birthday. As her family members, except for the Duke of England and the Grand Princess, all the younger ones will go.

"Mother is ready, let's go!" Shen Xinyan said, adjusting the golden hairpin on her bun.

The mother and her two children went out. Xiao Yingzhi looked around but couldn't see Pingfu. She couldn't help asking, "Mom, where is Pingfu? Why doesn't he go with us?"

Shen Xinyan touched her face and said softly, "Linfu will stay at the mansion to look after the house, so he won't go with us this time."

After all, Pingfu was still young and needed someone to take care of him. And in today's situation...if she took Pingfu with her, she would naturally be questioned. After all, no one would go out with a "servant" of such a young age. However, she did not want to label Pingfu as a "servant" in public, so she simply kept him in the house.

The little girl was a little unhappy. She pointed at Chunliu beside her and said with a pout, "Let Chunliu stay in the mansion to look after the house. Pingfu will go with us."

"Soooo, oooo, the fourth girl has abandoned Chunliu, and Chunliu is so sad..." After hearing this, Chunliu pretended to cry.

"No, no! I don't dislike you!" The little girl was a little anxious, afraid that she would misunderstand her, and said hurriedly with a blushing face.

But Chunliu pretended not to hear her and continued crying.

"Oh, oh, oh, the fourth girl dislikes Chunliu, the fourth girl dislikes Chunliu, Chunliu is very sad, very sad..."

The little girl explained several times, but she still kept crying. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Okay, okay, let Pingfu look after the house this time!"

"Thank you, Fourth Miss!" As soon as she finished speaking, Chunliu smiled at her ingratiatingly, her face was clean and there was no sign of having cried at all.

The little girl felt as if she had been deceived and her brows furrowed.

Shen Xinyan and others on the side had already covered their mouths with their hands, laughing uncontrollably; even Wei Chenglin couldn't control the corners of his mouth which kept rising.

This little fool!

The crowd walked away, talking and laughing, unaware of a lonely little figure hugging a tree trunk and staring blankly in the direction they were disappearing.

"Lingfu, come and have some snacks!" Qiutang called from a distance.

"Hey!" Lin Fu responded loudly, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and ran happily towards Qiu Tang who was waving at him on his short legs...
