Chapter 224 Are You Still in the Marquis' Mansion?
Chapter 224 Are You Still in the Marquis' Mansion?
Xie Huaiguang finally showed some emotion on his face: "Tell me, who sent you to spread rumors and cause trouble?"
The monkey was frightened by the sudden scolding and fell to the ground, trembling all over, unable to utter a word.
"I, I..."
The monkey trembled: "Little one, I don't know what the adults mean..."
"It doesn't matter. You'll know soon." Xie Huaiguang said calmly, "Send it to the governor of Shunjing. I believe Lord Cao will be able to explain clearly what I mean!"
“…”
The monkey was completely confused.
He was not afraid of provoking Su Jin. After all, Su Jin was no longer the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. She was just an ordinary citizen. He could bully her. But Xie Huaiguang was different.
A scholar who has won three honors in the imperial examination would have to be given some respect by any official if he was thrown into the imperial court. Moreover, the common people generally know what it means for officials to protect each other. If Xie Huaiguang threw him in like this, how could he come out safely?
The monkey trembled: "I was wrong, I was talking nonsense, it was nonsense!"
Xie Huaiguang said calmly: "Why, the story about me having an affair with Miss Su Liu is fake?"
"Yes, yes, they are all rumors spread by me, all rumors!"
"Why, do you think I'm not worthy of Miss Su Liu, huh?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
The crowd who were originally planning to leave turned back, their eyes sparkling with gossip.
What? Are you serious?
The monkey was even more confused. What’s the matter? It’s not okay if you say you are, and it’s not okay if you are not. How can people still live?
A group of people were in a dilemma because of Xie Huaiguang, but Su Jin raised the corner of his mouth. Xie Huaiguang was a bad person who even teased a monkey.
"Ah, this, little one..."
The monkey was really confused, his brain was not working, he didn't even know what to say.
Su Jin said calmly, "Master Xie is the top scholar in the imperial examination. He is very talented in writing and beautiful. His carriage is filled with fruits. He is truly the most beautiful woman in the world. It's a pity that Su Jin is already old and ugly. If she were 20 years younger, she would have been with Master Xie every day. Now, I really don't dare to have any thoughts at all."
Su Jin said this sincerely.
Who is Xie Huaiguang? He is talented in writing, handsome, and the son of the emperor. He will inherit the throne in the future. Such a person is like the bright moon in the sky, bright and flawless. He is also the male protagonist in the book. She really doesn't dare to have any blasphemous thoughts about him. At most, she just takes a few more glances at him and admires him.
The passers-by around nodded frequently when they heard this, and then looked at Su Jin and Xie Huaiguang, one was bright and the other upright, which made them seem like they were talking too much.
Therefore, the rumors that the two had an affair seemed to be false at this moment.
Only the crowd around finally started to move. Since it was fake, there was nothing exciting to watch, so everyone dispersed.
But no one noticed that Xie Huaiguang's eyes seemed to have become a little colder.
Don't you even dare to have a baby?
The young man subconsciously raised his hand and touched the makeup on his cheek, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"How can these people spread such rumors!"
Zhao Jingyu was filled with righteous indignation. He turned his head and said, "Zhuifeng, send these people to Lord Cao and lock them up!"
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
The monkeys were all dumbfounded, but Zhuifeng didn't stand for it. He waved his hand, and someone came immediately to drag the monkey away and send him to the authorities.
"Humph, a woman's reputation is the most important thing. Today I will teach you ruffians a lesson!"
Zhao Jingyu was really angry.
Why did he have to spread rumors about Su Jin?
This woman has suffered so much pain and grievances. She finally got divorced and can live a good life. But there are still people who spread rumors about her and Xie Huaiguang. They deserve to die!
"Don't worry, Miss Six. I'm here for you."
Zhao Jingyu's diligence has already explained everything.
Zhao Jingcheng watched silently from behind, thinking that his younger brother had been single all his life, and who would have thought that he would end up finding a divorced woman.
I don't know what to say. How should I say it? It's fine as long as they can get married. It won't sound good if I tell others that the emperor's brother has been a bachelor all his life...
Zhao Jingcheng glanced at Xie Huiguang and found that the young man was also silently watching Zhao Jingyu and Su Jin. He subconsciously said, "Huaiguang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Xie Huaiguang said calmly: "Prince Rui and Miss Su Liu are close friends, and they are both clean. What can be effective?"
Zhao Jingcheng: ...
Suddenly I don’t know what to say.
Maybe he was overthinking it?
"Brother, come and take a rest together!"
Zhao Jingyu turned around and greeted people. Chen Hong saw that the emperor was coming to sit down, so he couldn't sit outside any longer, so he turned around and looked for the shopkeeper.
There happened to be a vacant private room, so Chen Hong invited the whole family to go in.
Lin Wan Huicong crawled out from under the table, looked up, and saw that Su Jin was surrounded by several wealthy men. Her eyes turned red with jealousy.
It felt like going back to my childhood, when those young masters from prominent families all liked to hang around Su Jin, calling her "Sixth Miss Su" left and right, and it was as if I, their little follower, didn't exist.
Yes, Su Jin is the daughter of Hexi Su family, and Hexi Su family is a farming family with a great reputation, but what about her?
Just because I am nothing and have nothing, do I deserve to be ignored?
Lin Wanhui followed without thinking.
Everyone followed suit and sat down, and she followed suit. Su Jin glanced at her and whispered, "Why are you still here?"
"Why can't I be here!"
Lin Wanhui deliberately spoke loudly, which really attracted everyone's attention.
She smiled warmly and brightly and said, "Didn't I tell you, this table is mine."
Su Jin: hehe
It's really funny. Do you know who are the people at this table? How dare you squeeze in?
Su Jin was also speechless, but, still, no matter what, she had already left the Marquis' Mansion, and she would definitely not be the one to die in the end.
Su Jin was too calm to remain calm. Chen Hong glanced at Lin Wanhui and could only go back to order tea and snacks without saying a word.
The room suddenly became quiet. Mighty guards stood in every corner. Lin Wanhui was frightened at the mere sight of them.
These guards are much braver than those in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion!
Zhao Jingcheng looked Lin Wanhui up and down.
There was no such person in his memory, so the emperor had no idea who Lin Wanhui was, so he asked politely.
"This is..."
Su Jin had no idea how to answer, but she didn't need to answer because Lin Wanhui spoke first.
"I am the concubine of Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Lin Wanhui."
This name is well-known!
Isn't this the person that everyone was talking about at the Enrong Banquet?
"Oh, it's you."
Zhao Jingcheng nodded with a smile and thought to himself, you are still in the Marquis' Mansion, huh?
