Chapter 344: Stinking the Swan Meat
The banquet is over.
The guests were seen off.
Lu Zhiyun held on for a whole day.
After watching the last guest get on the carriage and leave.
She couldn't hold on any longer.
She threw herself into Lin's arms, covering her face and crying bitterly.
"Mother, do you really want me to die? Why is the world so unfair to me? What did I do wrong that they frame me like this and refuse to even give me a chance to live?"
All day long.
She pretended to be calm and forced a smile.
She moved among the ladies of aristocratic families.
Watching them ask about each other's well-being in person, talking and laughing happily.
As soon as he turned around, he looked at you with disgust.
Talk about you behind your back and even slander you with exaggeration.
Lu Zhiyun hated such hypocritical faces. Even if she could still get married, she didn't want to get married.
I can’t imagine how picky I would be as their daughter-in-law.
Lin hugged her daughter, her heart aching.
I wish I could pull out the rumormonger and skin him alive.
How can there be such a bad person!
I can't let my daughter die for this fabricated thing.
She let go of her daughter and walked straight to Madam Lu's courtyard.
He knelt down in front of the old lady with a thud and kowtowed twice.
"Mother, you can't let Yun'er die. If she dies, I won't be able to live either. As long as you are willing to keep Yun'er and divorce me, or send me out of the capital, I will take Yun'er away and never return to the capital. The Lu family's reputation can be restored to some extent."
Mrs. Lu was discussing countermeasures with her daughter when she was suddenly stunned by her daughter-in-law's behavior.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I wanted Yun'er to die?"
Lu Qingyao was stunned and quickly helped Lin up. "What are you doing, sister-in-law? What's the point of talking about life or death? Your mouth is on others, but your life is in your own hands. How can a few false rumors kill Yun'er? Besides, there are ways to deal with it. We just need to find the person who spread the rumors and clarify the matter."
Jiang Miaomiao was sitting next to her grandmother, shaking her calves and throwing pomegranates into her mouth one by one.
Then I heard my second aunt speaking.
She almost choked.
What is my second aunt thinking? She doesn’t want to find the rumormonger.
I was actually wondering what my grandmother would do to Sister Yun.
Lin stood in front of Old Madam Lu, looking like a wronged young wife. Her eyes were red as she said, "Mother, but...but because of this, the entire female family of the Lu family has been implicated."
Old Madam Lu took the round fan from her daughter's hand and slapped it on Lin's forehead.
"Have you awakened your stupid head?"
"When encountering problems, instead of thinking of solutions, crying is useless. If you die, how can you be worthy of the men fighting bloody battles on the frontier? If no one dares to marry the daughter of the Lu family, then we won't marry. Even if we stay at home for the rest of our lives, it won't still make you hungry and thirsty."
Old Madam Lu scolded both the mother and daughter.
As she cursed, Lin smiled with tears in her eyes.
She thought her mother-in-law would deal with children who ruined the family reputation like other families did.
They may be married far away and sent to a farm, or they may die of illness.
I didn't expect that I couldn't just say that if I didn't want to get married, then I wouldn't get married.
In the past, she would have thought her mother-in-law's ideas were a bit unorthodox. She would agree with them on the surface, but would have grumbled a few words in her heart.
But why does it sound so pleasant now?
Even the sound of cursing sounds so nice.
Lu Yunzhi chased in and heard what her grandmother said to her mother.
She felt much more at ease.
Her grandmother, great aunt, aunt, and sisters didn't blame her.
No matter how strong the wind and waves are, she is not afraid as long as she has her family and the helmsman on the boat.
She only knew that she couldn't die.
She also has to take care of her mother and wait for her father to return triumphantly.
This is not her fault, she has to find out who spread the rumor.
That person has to pay the price.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, please take your sister-in-law downstairs to have some rest..." Seeing her second daughter-in-law crying and laughing, Mrs. Lu felt that she was quite upset.
Now I am not worried about my granddaughter, but my daughter-in-law.
Seeing them about to leave, he called his eldest daughter-in-law, Lan, over and whispered, "Keep an eye on both of them."
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her grandmother was a little unusual.
If this happened in another family, the grandmother would most likely sacrifice her descendants for the benefit of the family.
My grandmother is like the stabilizing force of the Lu family.
No wonder she gave birth to such a great daughter.
Princess Yuqing hasn't seen her daughter for a few days.
Bored to death.
"Mammy, Miaomiao went to the Lu family's old house for a banquet. How come she hasn't come back for so many days?"
Thinking back to Jiayue, I didn’t feel anything even after not seeing her for several months.
I felt relieved after leaving.
But Miaomiao is different, not just because of the mother-daughter blood relationship.
I love and hate the little girl. It seems like I can't bring myself to hit her. It feels like a long time since I saw her.
It's been several days.
What’s more, the little guy likes to eat walnuts and nuts, so Lu Garden and the Princess Mansion prepare them every day.
It's become a habit.
I didn’t like eating melon seeds before.
Just imagine, a dignified and beautiful princess, snapping like a mouse.
What a disgrace.
But now she is actually being taken care of by the little guy, and she likes to eat some melon seeds when she has nothing to do.
“Crack, crack…”
And the little girl has a strange habit.
I like to comb the dog's hair.
Oh no, it's a wolf.
If I didn’t hear the wolf howling next door every time the full moon came.
She almost forgot that Xiaobai was the leader of the wolves.
When Jiang Ziyan left, he asked someone to make a lot of furry white wolf dolls for the little guy. When he couldn't comb real wolf hair, he would use fake wolf hair.
This little guy brought several of them over a few days ago.
It is placed in the bedroom, the dining room, the study, and even the bathroom.
So she sees puppets everywhere she goes.
Then I thought of my daughter.
Nanny Feng watched the princess, alternately cracking melon seeds and fiddling with the princess's stuffed doll, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Lu family's flower viewing banquet doesn't seem to be going well. The ladies are whispering that Miss Yun may have lost her reputation during her exile."
"What?"
"How is it possible? The men in the Lu family treat the women in their family as their treasures. If something like that happens, I'm afraid they will fight to the death. Besides, hasn't the Mu family sent people to protect them and has made arrangements for them?" Princess Yuqing didn't understand the strangeness of it for a while.
I just feel that people who spread rumors have malicious intentions.
But when Nanny Feng continued speaking, she became alert.
"Ever since that rumor spread, other families have retreated, but there are still a few who come to us to ask for it."
"Which ones?"
"Duke Shen's family, Concubine Chen's maternal family, the Fang family. I heard that Young Master Shen has a bad temper and beats people up at the drop of a hat. And the Fang family actually wants to propose marriage for Fifth Master Fang. That person seems to have a problem with his brain. He wears a cotton-padded jacket in summer and a shirt in winter. Don't you think it's strange?" Nanny Feng knew that the princess would definitely ask about it.
So people have already found out everything clearly.
"Is this like a toad wanting to eat swan meat but afraid it can't get it, so it wants to make the swan meat smell bad?" Princess Yuqing widened her eyes.
It's really shameless and really eye-opening.
"Yes, I think it's one of them who spread the rumor. They even asked Miss Yun to examine their body. Their behavior is really ugly."
Princess Yuqing stood up and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped.
"Mammy, go and tell the censor that the Shen and Fang families want to destroy someone's innocence and force the Lu family to marry their daughter off."
