Hearing this, Chu Yue raised her brows and reached out to pinch his ears, looking fierce.
"What do you mean? My husband thinks I'm stupid?"
Suddenly Chu Yue pinched his ears, and Lu Xinghe felt his throat became a little dry.
He lowered his voice slightly.
"No."
Chu Yue raised her chin with some pride.
"Lie! I praised you for being smart, and you answered to complement me. Aren't you just saying that I'm stupid?"
Lu Xinghe looked back at Chu Yue, took her hand and pulled her into his arms, frightened Chu Yue and almost screamed out.
Their eyes met, as if everything around them had lost their sense of existence.
Looking at Chu Yue with dark eyes, Lu Xinghe had a smile on his lips.
"Little girl, don't tease a man who likes you, otherwise..."
"Where can I have it?"
Chu Yue looked away guiltily, not daring to look at him.
Lu Xinghe took a long breath, suppressing the restlessness in his body, and let go of Chu Yue's hand.
"Go and do your business."
Feeling something strange underneath her, Chu Yue stood up from Lu Xinghe as if fleeing and walked towards the desk.
I wanted to write down my plan for Baiyuan Garden, but I couldn't write a word for a long time after I picked up the pen. I just felt so upset.
…
In the capital, rumors that the emperor was attracted to Chu Yue spread even more under Qin Feilan's suppression, so much so that she even wondered if someone under her had betrayed her.
"What's going on? Why are the rumors getting worse?"
"This slave doesn't know."
The little palace maid knelt down and replied.
Qin Feilan waved her hand, "You get up first."
Then he looked at Nanny aside and said, "Nanny, go and find out who is behind this."
"yes."
Grandma Fushen went down.
Rumors are nothing to the emperor, but they have a great impact on the reputation of a woman named Chu Yue.
Especially since she already has a husband.
If her husband's family becomes suspicious, life will probably be difficult in the future.
Not only was the queen investigating the person behind it, Lu Xinghe also asked people to investigate the person behind it after hearing the news.
Soon, Aji presented the investigation results to Lu Xinghe.
"Master, the queen personally suppressed the rumors before, and the rumors were suppressed in a short period of time. However, the Jin family in the west of the city and the Zheng family in the north of the city deliberately pushed behind the scenes, and the rumors started again."
"The Jin family and the Zheng family? Yueyue seems to have no connection with these two families." Lu Xinghe raised his head and looked at Aji, "What are the origins of these two families?"
"The Jin family and the Zheng family are both royal merchants. Originally, these two families had a monopoly on the rouge and gouache in the palace."
"I see."
Now that the emperor had handed over all the rouge and gouache business to Chu Yue, the two families became anxious and began to work together to deal with Chu Yue.
However, this rumor was suppressed by the emperor's personal order for the queen to suppress it.
They secretly carried out the murder, weren't they afraid that after the Dong Chuang incident happened, they would get into trouble with the two people in the palace?
Lu Xinghe looked at Aji.
"Have someone check to see if there is anything fishy about the rouge and gouache that these two families supplied to the palace in previous years, and whether the hands and feet of their children are clean. If anything abnormal is found, send all the evidence to Qianfu."
As an imperial merchant, the interests involved are huge.
It is definitely impossible to say that there is no inside story.
It's just that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as it doesn't have much impact, everyone will just turn a blind eye.
Unless someone is determined to check them out.
And Lu Xinghe has never been a soft-hearted person.
Aji looked in the direction of Lu Xinghe, said yes, and left the room.
Lu Xinghe stood in the house for a while, then looked at the sky outside the house, went out, climbed on his tall horse, and went back to Zhuangzi.
The Jin family and the Zheng family only thought that Chu Yue was a poor princess from a peasant family, with no one to support her and no one to stand up for her.
But the result was that within three days, the heads of the Jin and Zheng families were arrested one after another and put into prison. Many of the children of the two families were exiled and decapitated because they were involved in some lawsuits.
Although tragic, no one is truly innocent.
As for the others, they left the capital, a place of right and wrong, overnight with their few remaining foundations.
With the disappearance of the Jin and Zheng families, people in the capital seemed to have sensed something unusual, and no one dared to raise the topic of Princess He Yue.
Since then, the rumors have been suppressed.
…
Lu Xinghe had to worry about things that required mental use, and Chu Yue only had to do what he wanted to do.
During the following period, she has been busy preparing for the opening of Xingyue Medical Center and Baiyuan Garden.
Now that Xingyue Medical Center has officially opened, Wu Xiuwen is in charge there, and Baiyuan Garden needs an opportunity.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, after Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan took a vacation at the academy, they rode a delivery carriage to the capital with Chu Wenzhu.
In addition to Lu Xingping's brother and sister, Shui Changgen, who had previously worked in Shuiyue Village, also came with them.
Yun Dabao, an older brother and younger brother, could not easily leave Nanping Town. Shui Changgen was alone without parents and children. In his opinion, as long as he could fill his stomach, he would be the same wherever he went.
He had been in Zhuangzi before and had a thorough understanding of crop cultivation in Zhuangzi.
Therefore, Chu Yue left the matter of planting potatoes in cooperation with the emperor to Shui Changgen.
Inside the house, Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe.
"My lord, tell me, if I hold a banquet in Baiyuan Garden, do I need to send invitations to His Majesty and the Queen?"
"You have to give it, it's up to them whether they come or not." Lu Xinghe said while flipping through the book in his hand.
Chu Yue nodded.
"My husband is right."
Lu Xinghe glanced in her direction, "What? Do you want to use this banquet as a pre-opening ceremony?"
"Yeah, I won't invite too many people, just a few people I've met before. I don't bother to greet those I don't know."
Lu Xinghe pursed his lips and smiled.
"Can."
Seeing that Lu Xinghe also agreed, Chu Yue immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll write the invitation."
Looking at the little girl's fussy appearance, Lu Xinghe's eyes were full of doting.
"You should take it easy. The injury on your body will heal now."
Chu Yue picked up the pen and thought about how to write the invitation, while saying, "I'm almost three months old now, and the injury has healed greatly. The scar on my forehead was completely invisible after using the Shuhen ointment given by Master. ”
After thinking for a while, she really didn't know how to write, so she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xinghe.
"Mr. Sir, how do you think I should write this invitation appropriately?"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lu Xinghe put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked in her direction.
"Didn't you receive an invitation before?"
Chu Yue put down her brush, came to Lu Xinghe, and pulled his sleeve.
"There is a difference between receiving an invitation and writing it yourself. This is my first time writing it, so can you help me?"
Seeing Chu Yue acting coquettishly towards him, the corners of Lu Xinghe's lips rose.
He raised his hand and pointed at one side of his cheek.
"remuneration."
After saying that, he moved his face towards Chu Yue.
