Zhao Lin was jealous of Yun Zhiyi because of his close relationship with her, so he made a false accusation.
The news spread quickly.
"Miss."
Lan Er quickly came to Fu Liqing, who was reading a book. He looked up at Lan Er and said, "What's the hurry?"
Lan Er said, "It's Mr. Zhao's business."
"What's wrong with him?" Fu Liqing immediately put down the book and asked.
Lan Er said, "Yesterday, someone went to the Shengjing government office to sue Mr. Zhao for abandoning his wife and children..."
"It's a false accusation, absolutely a false accusation." Fu Liqing was immediately agitated. "Zhao Lin is not that kind of person."
Lan Er said speechlessly: "Please listen to me."
Fu Liqing said unhappily, "Hurry up and tell me."
Lan Er said, "It is indeed a false accusation. Lord Li has already investigated. It was a foreigner named Wang Lei who was jealous of Master Zhao and Miss Yun's close relationship and paid someone to make a false accusation in order to destroy Master Zhao's reputation. It would be best if Lord Li removed his honors. Now Wang Lei has fled..."
"Wait, are you saying that Mr. Zhao and Sister Yun are very close?" Fu Liqing interrupted Lan'er and asked.
Lan'er carefully observed Fu Liqing's expression and said, "It is said that this is the reason..."
"Impossible!" Fu Liqing stood up and said, "Sister Yun is not that kind of person."
Yun Zhiyi and Fu Liqing had a good relationship. After she entered the brothel, Fu Liqing often visited her, which helped to preserve her innocence. Given Yun Zhiyi's character, she wouldn't do such a thing, knowing that Fu Liqing had some feelings for Zhao Lin.
"Miss, people change."
Lan'er carefully considered her words and said, "Miss Yun is no longer the Miss Yun of the past. Miss Yun has no idea what a brothel is. Everyone who enters wants to get out. If it were someone else, they would just find a wealthy businessman and pay a small sum to redeem them, but Miss Yun is different."
"She and Young Master Bai Shiyuan were in love before, and this is something many people know. No one has bothered Miss Yun for so long, partly because of this, and it's not all due to you. But also because of this, no one dared to redeem Miss Yun, for fear of offending Young Master Bai Shiyuan."
"But Master Zhao is different. He has already offended Bai Shicheng, and his relationship with Bai Shiyuan is definitely not good. Even if he takes Miss Yun, it will only make their relationship worse, not worse."
"But for Miss Yun, Young Master Zhao is currently the only person who is most suitable to rescue her from the sea of suffering. Young Master Zhao is handsome, talented, and currently valued by Lord Li. His future is limitless. Even if he doesn't marry Miss Yun as his principal wife, but only as a concubine, he can still help Miss Yun escape from the sea of suffering."
"Although you and Miss Yun have a good relationship, this relationship is too fragile when it comes to matters involving lifelong happiness."
After saying so many words in one breath, Lan'er felt a little thirsty, so she quietly picked up Fu Liqing's cup from the table and drank the water.
Fu Liqing stood there blankly, muttering, "Sister Yun is not that kind of person. She knows that I... But this is indeed a great opportunity for her, and I shouldn't stop her. If she can escape from this suffering, I will be happy too. But, but..."
"But you can't accept that Mr. Zhao has fallen in love with someone else, right?" Lan'er said.
Fu Liqing glared at Lan'er and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lan Er said, "Miss, you're just worrying for nothing. The Master doesn't agree with you being with Young Master Zhao. It doesn't matter to you who Young Master Zhao is with. You might as well marry Miss Yun. Besides..."
Lan'er lowered her voice and laughed, "If the master changes his mind in the future, you and Miss Yun can still continue to be sisters. But then you will be the elder sister and she will be the younger sister."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart." Fu Liqing glared at Lan'er fiercely, but Lan'er's words moved Fu Liqing's heart.
Although Fu Liqing advocated lifelong loyalty, she also knew that it was impossible to stop men from looking for women. Take Fu Chengwang, for example, who was already a role model for men. He did not indulge in drinking, whoring or gambling, but he still had several concubines.
So if Zhao Lin could marry Yun Zhiyi and continue to be sisters with her, it would be better than finding another woman.
"I have to meet Sister Yun." Fu Liqing said.
Lan Er asked, "How can you meet me if you can't even go out?"
Fu Liqing suddenly sighed.
In order to prevent Fu Liqing from secretly going out to see Zhao Lin, Fu Chengwang had people watch her very closely and did not allow her to go out at all, let alone sneak out.
"Is there no other way?" Fu Liqing said.
"Yes." Lan'er said.
Fu Liqing immediately glared at Lan'er: "If you have a solution, why don't you tell me now? Do you really want me to hit you?"
Lan Er smiled and said, "Miss, you are so smart, how could you have forgotten? On the Double Ninth Festival, the Princess will hold a flower viewing party and invite all the ladies in the capital. You will definitely be among them."
Fu Liqing's eyes lit up: "Yes, how could I have forgotten? Then I would have a reason to go out, and Daddy wouldn't be able to stop me."
Fu Liqing became more and more excited as she thought about it, but Lan'er poured cold water on her: "Miss, you are so worried that you can't eat or sleep here. Mr. Zhao has never come to see you. You two have never had anything like this before. Are you sure it will be useful to see him?"
Fu Liqing: “…”
…
"Master, Miss Yun has been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as Zhao Lin and Su Di returned home, the doorman hurried to report.
Sudi glanced at Zhao Lin and said, "He delivered it to my door."
"Don't talk nonsense. This will only ruin Miss Yun's reputation."
Zhao Lin knew Yun Zhiyi had come because of the slander, so he quickly walked to the front hall. Yun Zhiyi stood up and bowed to Zhao Lin. "Mr. Zhao, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize I've caused you so much trouble."
Zhao Lin quickly said, "Miss Yun, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. You are also a victim."
Yun Zhiyi was purely misled by misfortune. She didn't know that Wang Lei at all. In fact, that Wang Lei might have been fabricated and there was no such person at all.
But he couldn't say this to Yun Zhiyi, so Zhao Lin could only say, "Miss Yun is so graceful and elegant, it's perfectly normal for someone to admire her. It doesn't affect me in any way, so don't take it to heart."
Yun Zhiyi said gratefully, "Sir, you are so generous. I really don't know what to say."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, then please protect yourself well so that I can admire Miss Yun's peerless beauty more often."
Sudi rolled his eyes at the side. This guy was so casual in picking up women.
Yun Zhiyi blushed at Zhao Lin's blunt words and said frankly, "As long as Master Zhao wants to see Zhiyi, he can do so anytime. But since the last Oiran Contest, Master Zhao hasn't come to see Zhiyi for so long. I thought he looked down on me."
Zhao Lin laughed. "Miss Yun is a famous courtesan in the capital. Which man would not like her? Unless he's abnormal. I'm just busy studying for the imperial examinations and really don't have time."
"Now that the scientific examination is over, we have some time, right?" Yun Zhiyi asked immediately.
