Bailiyuan maintained an eerie silence. Everyone watched Jingyuan leave with tears in her eyes following the ferocious Bai Baozhu. After a while, no one knew who started it, but a large-scale discussion broke out.
Since Bai Baozhu left on her own, her statement that she was not Bai Baozhu but the Lily girl in the Bailiyuan building was proven to be a lie by herself. Didn't you see that the brothel owner was already pale and shaky?
The Second Prince quietly signaled to a few people in the crowd whom he had arranged long ago, and those people naturally and skillfully set the pace, saying things like "Bai Baozhu actually likes the same sex and cheated on Sheng Jicheng", "Bai Baozhu actually grew up in a brothel", "Bai Baozhu's personality is actually so cruel"... all kinds of rumors were spoken out through their mouths, and fermented in the retelling of others, with all kinds of details added that even the person himself did not know.
Before the afternoon, someone had already sworn that he had seen Bai Baozhu having sex with a woman with his own eyes, causing onlookers to exclaim in surprise.
Fengming naturally knew the power of the people. The fire had already started, and the Second Prince would send people from behind to occasionally fan the flames. It would not be so easy to extinguish it. I wonder how the infatuated Prince Sheng would react.
"Okay, let's go. There's nothing to see here anymore."
Feng Ming let out a sigh of relief. She looked at Bai Baozhu being criticized by everyone, and she couldn't tell whether she felt happy or a little reluctant.
She is not a saint, but she is not a hard-hearted person either. After all, it was Bai Baozhu who made the mistake first, which gave them the opportunity to use it to incite public opinion. But after all, as a girl, seeing her being subjected to verbal violence like this, she still felt a little bit uncomfortable in her heart.
Xin Wu felt the same way. This was clearly the scene she was most looking forward to, but her face didn't show any joy. Instead, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. Feng Ming reached out and took her hand. Xin Wu let out a long breath and gave Feng Ming a calm smile that was unusual for her. "Let's go. Let's get this over with as soon as possible. I really miss the tofu pudding from Green Willow North Lane in the imperial capital."
"Ah, I thought about it too. I also want to eat the hot pot at Chengguanyuan."
"What are these delicious foods you're talking about? Why haven't I tried them before?"
When Feng Xiyun heard Xin Wu talking about the food in the imperial capital, she also came to join in the fun. Feng Yuyun had been staying in the palace before, and when she finally got out of the palace, she followed Feng Ming and the others directly to Mingcheng. To be honest, she had never really understood the imperial capital where she was born and raised.
The inexplicable depression in Xin Wuxin's heart disappeared in this conversation full of fireworks. Although the resentment towards Sheng Jicheng and Bai Baozhu had not dissipated, he was no longer living in a state of being full of resentment.
Now she has found her brother, has friends who treat her sincerely and don't have to worry about them approaching her just to get something from her, and has a career she loves. Her future life is extremely beautiful and bright.
She no longer wants the lives of those two people. Compared to a simple death, living a difficult life is the most painful. Let those two unscrupulous people who kill for money lose their reputation, identity, status, and everything they value, and then live in pain in this world!
So far, things have been moving pretty quickly.
Although the Bai Baozhu incident was quickly brought under control by Sheng Jicheng and Marquis Yi'an, who no longer permitted ordinary people to spread any information related to her, the surface of the situation remained calm, but the undercurrents continued. Bai Baozhu's reputation among the ladies of Mingcheng was completely ruined, as everyone knew her origins in a brothel. Furthermore, her suspected involvement with Sheng Jicheng in the murder of the Xin family was secretly investigated, and Xin Wei was taken away by the Second Prince and returned to Xing Wu.
However, although Bai Baozhu has so many dark histories, these are all because of Sheng Jicheng's love. In fact, it was even brought up this time because she took the blame for him, so the wedding was not disturbed at all and was still held as scheduled.
Originally, Sheng Jicheng wanted to use this incident with Bai Baozhu to maintain his affectionate persona, but with the Second Prince working tirelessly behind the scenes to spread the news that he was suspected of harming the three members of the Xin family, his image in the eyes of the people of Mingcheng had already been ruined.
The common people are so easy to control. Just a dozen days ago, Sheng Jicheng and Bai Baozhu were considered a perfect couple in their eyes, but just some rumors turned them into a forever couple of a bitch and a dog in their eyes.
Bai Baozhu was so angry that she had a big tantrum at home. She felt that nothing had gone smoothly for her since that Princess Daqing came.
Her reputation was ruined, past events were dug up, and even her adoptive parents began to doubt whether she was their daughter. She had to spend all her energy to finally calm them down.
But when all these things needed to be solved urgently, the communication was suddenly cut off, which made her really panic.
There is a mysterious organization over there. She doesn't know what it is called or what it does, but she only knows that it can help her.
When she was still in Bailiyuan, that organization found her and it was that organization that helped her design the scene where she was "accidentally" met by Xin Wu and then redeemed from the brothel.
It was also that organization that later helped her and taught her how to gain Xin Wu's trust, and snatched Sheng Jicheng away right under Xin Wu's nose. Even her identity as the daughter of Marquis Yi'an was chosen for her by that organization, and then she was taught to deceive Xin Wu and Sheng Jicheng to help her obtain it.
That organization also sent people to help Sheng Jicheng kidnap able-bodied men in Dongyao, and then taught him how to train these people into private soldiers. They also sent Mr. Feng Sanshi to assist Sheng Jicheng in searching for evidence against civil and military officials. It can be said that she and Sheng Jicheng were able to have what they have today thanks to that organization.
She had also been frightened before, wondering why this organization would inexplicably find her and help her for free. So far, the organization had only taken away a jade token that she had carried with her since childhood, and had never asked for anything else from her.
The manager of the organization did not explain to her why they helped her, but just told her that she would understand everything after she married Sheng Jicheng.
As time went by, she stopped asking questions and became more and more accustomed to the service provided by this organization. Her mentality also began to change from being terrified to taking it for granted. She felt that the organization had become her subordinate. Who knew that she could not be contacted at such an important moment? Only then did she realize that she was the "subordinate".
Sheng Jicheng's reply to her was that Feng Sanshi could still be contacted, but his attitude had changed a little. He could vaguely feel that he seemed to want to give up on them.
In such an anxious mood, the day of Sheng Jicheng and Bai Baozhu's wedding arrived, and everyone felt that the dust had finally settled!
