Chang Lan couldn't laugh or cry, "Some people say that Miss Li would rather admire the eunuch than the fourth prince. It seems that the fourth prince is out of luck. Others say that this rumor is too outrageous. How can a big girl like the eunuch? The news must be It’s false. Along with the previous rumors about the Fourth Prince, there is probably someone who is jealous of you, girl, so they deliberately caused mischief."
Silk Lan said: "When the girl mentioned this idea before, I was worried for a while. I didn't expect it to be effective. I just don't know how Master Qin will react when he hears about it..."
Li Qingyi also wanted to know how Qin Zeng would react.
Next time they meet, she wants to take a good look at his face.
*****
Li Qingyi didn't take the rumors seriously, but Princess Yuanheng couldn't sit still and asked someone to come over to spread the word.
"Miss Li, the princess asked her servant to look for you and ask you to go there."
Li Qingyi looked normal and said: "I know, you go back and tell your mother, I will change my clothes and go over."
After the messenger left, Silan said worriedly: "The princess must have known about the gossip outside and asked the girl to go over and ask questions!"
"I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not afraid to ask."
When they arrived at the Jinhua Courtyard where Princess Yuanheng lived, there was a row of servants standing in the corridor. When they saw her coming, although their expressions were different, they still saluted her in a polite manner.
Lingxi always knew how to assess the situation and whispered a few reminders when leading her into the inner room. Li Qingyi nodded at her and walked in.
"Mother."
She acted calmly and walked calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Princess Yuanheng was half relieved when she saw her like this, "You're here."
Li Qingyi bowed and sat down, and said, "Mother heard the gossip outside, so she asked me to come over and ask?"
When Princess Yuanheng heard that she actually mentioned it on her own initiative, without any intention of hiding it, she knew that there must be nothing fishy like she thought before. She felt a little more relieved, and her tone became much smoother, and she said: "It's just for no reason. Are there any such rumors?"
Just as Li Qingyi was about to speak, a report came from outside, "Princess, something happened to the second room."
Princess Yuanheng frowned and said, "Come in and answer."
Cui Wei hurried in, glanced at Li Qingyi, and seemed to have something to say in front of her, so she walked up to Princess Yuanheng and whispered a few words.
After hearing Cui Wei's words, Princess Yuanheng asked, "How could such a thing happen?"
After that, she got up and walked outside. After walking a few steps, she remembered that Li Qingyi was here, and said to her, "Go back first."
"Yes, mother."
Li Qingyi returned to Zhuoxiangyuan, and Chang Ning had already found out the cause and effect of the matter.
"Sui'er in Aunt Wen's yard is already more than two months pregnant!"
"ah?"
The others all opened their mouths.
Li Qingyi paused while holding the tea cup, "How did this matter become known so quickly?"
She had just asked Chang Ning to keep an eye on Sui'er that day.
The rules of a wealthy family are very strict. No matter the master or servants, no one dares to break the rules easily, let alone having an affair with someone without a matchmaker. Once such a scandal occurs, what other way out is there except death?
Chang Ning explained: "This Sui'er was pregnant and was scared. She wanted to ask her sweetheart for advice. Unexpectedly, when the two were talking, Dong Ling, who was next to the second lady, bumped into her."
Silan asked: "Who is she in love with?"
"The boy next to the second master is called Sun Xing."
Silan suddenly said: "No wonder this kind of thing happened. The second master always asked Sun Xing to run errands with Wen Yuniang, and he was naturally familiar with Wen Yuniang's maid. These two people are also very courageous, and they even...even have children!" "
Heng Wu asked strangely: "But I saw Sui'er a few days ago and didn't see anything unusual about her?"
"This person from Sui'er is so slender that I couldn't tell that she was pregnant for more than two months. However, I saw her covering her mouth before and retching, but I just thought that she might be sick and not feeling well. , how can I think of going there."
Li Qingyi said: "The second lady is carrying it with Aunt Wen. If Dongling encounters such a scandal, she is afraid that she will go back and report it to the second lady immediately."
Chang Ning added: "That's not all. Regarding the two people that Dong Ling hit, I was afraid that he was too excited. He opened his mouth to call for people to catch those two people. That Sun Xing was so anxious that he dragged Dong Ling in. He was strangled to death in the rockery!"
Several people were stunned, even Li Qingyi was shocked.
"Killed?"
Chang Ning nodded, "It's unlucky to say that the second lady couldn't find Dong Ling anywhere, so she asked the little girl Ning to come out to look for her. She just bumped into Sun Xing and Sui'er coming out of the rockery. Sun Xing didn't know that he was frightened. No matter how courageous she was, she ran away without looking back when someone came over. Sui'er might have been frightened because she was stuck there and couldn't move. As soon as Yindong saw something was wrong, he ran into the rockery to check. , I saw Dong Ling’s cheek being pinched and was bruised, her eyes were bulging, and even her tongue was sticking out!”
Shia Lan was horrified and subconsciously covered her neck, "This... this is quite terrifying!"
"We all heard it was so scary. Yin Dong was so frightened when he saw it that he ran back to Peilan Courtyard to report the news. Then the second lady took Sui'er to Suochun Courtyard to find Aunt Wen. Raise troops to investigate."
As soon as Wen Yuniang entered the house, she made the second lady suffer a lot. The second lady was holding back her energy! If she couldn't get hold of anything, she couldn't use too drastic measures against Wen Yuniang. If Wen Yuniang didn't seek death, she wouldn't be able to do anything for a while. If she seizes this opportunity, she won't let it go easily.
"But Wen Yuniang is not easy to handle, so she must be making excuses in every possible way, right?"
"The girl is right. Sui'er was so frightened that she didn't say anything no matter how she asked. Yindong only saw Sui'er and Sun Xing coming out of the rockery and didn't know which of them killed Dong Ling. But the two The madam was very shrewd. When she saw the strange look on Sui'er's face and thought about what happened, she guessed a bit and asked the doctor to diagnose her pulse. Sure enough, she found out that Sui'er was nearly three months pregnant and immediately gave her an injection. He has become a human being."
Li Qingyi said in surprise: "Beat him directly?"
"He's not dead." Chang Ning was still frightened when he thought of the scene just now, "The second lady didn't know what An De was thinking. When she asked someone to hit the board, she tied her tightly to the spring bench and didn't let her struggle to move. After passing through the stomach, I only hit the legs. I'm afraid both legs were broken into several pieces. The person is still alive, and the screams are so painful that it can't help but penetrate more people!"
Silan felt terrified when he heard this, "What about Sun Xing?"
Chang Ning sneered, "Seeing that Sun Xing couldn't hide it, he turned around and ran away! He hasn't been caught yet!"
Everyone looked at each other, shocked and sighing for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Logically speaking, if something like this happened in the backyard, it would be natural to ask the matriarch of the Dang family to deal with it, so he sent someone to find Princess Yuanheng.
Li Qingyi thought about it and said, "This girl Sui'er will not only die, but she will also suffer a lot."
