He was a little embarrassed to say it. If he had known that he would meet Lian Suisui today, he would have told his sister in advance and asked her to find an opportunity to remind her.
The two younger sisters had good feelings for Lian Suisui, but he was afraid that they wouldn't believe him if he told her, and it would seem like he was gossiping behind his back.
If you say it in front of the real owner, it's not just talking...
Lian Suisui looked up confusedly and asked, "Is it related to me?"
She didn't understand. She had been confined at home for two days. What other rumors could be related to her?
She didn't do anything inappropriate...
Chen Yongchuan nodded.
"There are rumors outside that you..." He paused, "that you are pestering your cousin from the Song family."
Who?
Lian Suisui took a while to react before he realized, was she pestering Song Jingwei?
The two met... three times in total. The first time was in Yongding Bo's Mansion, and the second time was in front of the Yamen of Dali Temple. It was almost dark at the time, but they were still talking at the Yamen. She didn't do anything to make people angry. Suspicious action.
Are the officials who work for the imperial court so idle?
"What else did you say?"
She wanted to hear how the literati spread rumors.
"These rumors are nothing to men. I also believe that my cousin is not that kind of person, but the rumors outside are very unpleasant. I am afraid that King Cheng will come to trouble you, so I would like to remind you."
When Meng Shuang heard the rumor and told him about it, he didn't believe it. When they met that day, he felt that Suisui was not as good as the legend said.
He still can't forget the expression on Meng Shuang's face.
Knowing that he meant well, Lian Suisui said sincerely: "Thank you, cousin. I understand and will pay attention to it."
"Aren't you indiscreet?"
Chen Yanxin's tone was unkind, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you didn't give others a reason to talk about it, how could others spread rumors out of thin air and talk nonsense?"
"Yan Xin!"
Chen Yongchuan scolded, "Is this what a girl like you can say?"
Chen Yan was dissatisfied that her eldest brother was protecting Lian Suisui and said stubbornly: "I'm not wrong."
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to have a conflict, Lian Suisui hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over.
"Don't hurt your kindness! I know that I have a bad reputation and it is difficult to redeem it. If there is any slight disturbance, others will make wild guesses. I can't influence other people's dirty thoughts. I can only make sure that I have a clear conscience."
She didn't bother anyone, so she didn't need to be afraid of other people's comments.
Her words are sonorous and carry a convincing power.
"We believe you."
Chen Wanli was kind to her.
Chen Yongchuan also nodded and said: "I also believe that sister Suisui will not act recklessly."
Chen Yongnian lowered his head to eat, and Lian Suisui was definitely the most scheming person present!
He didn't express his opinion!
After lunch, they said goodbye to the Chen brothers and sisters. Lian Suisui asked Xiao Tao to inquire about the rumors, while she sat on the curb by the street and looked up at the sky.
The world has changed. The person involved doesn’t know what’s going on, so he has to send someone to find out...
Tsk.
The weather was hot, and the afternoon sun could burn off a layer of skin on your body, and it could also easily make you doze off. Even Suisui covered his mouth and yawned.
The sun above the head was suddenly blocked by a huge object, and the light dimmed instantly.
Lian Suisui regained his idle thoughts and focused his eyes on Cheng Wang's elongated black face.
Gan.
Sure enough, I couldn't help but think, at this point, he was not at home and cares about his new wife, so why did he come to see her?
She looked away and pretended not to see him.
"Lian Suisui, haven't you seen me?"
Lian Suisui didn't want to speak and said bluntly: "I didn't see it."
"you!"
"Liansui Sui!"
One sentence succeeded in making Cheng Wang angry. Lian Suisui felt that this man was not well-educated and could get angry easily. He was not suitable to be a prince at all.
Her ears were shaken, and she kindly reminded: "My lord, if you have time to yell at me here, why not investigate who spread the rumor and what the other party's purpose is."
She pointed at her brain and reminded King Cheng to use his brain more and not to be driven by emotions all the time, so as not to fall into other people's traps.
Unexpectedly, her move was regarded as provocation by King Cheng.
"Are you saying that this king has no brains?"
Forget it, Lian Suisui gave up and couldn't communicate with the dog. She waited for Xiao Tao to come back and analyzed for herself what the person behind the scenes wanted to do. Why was he holding on to her and not letting her go?
She didn't think much about it before, thinking that her behavior was influenced by the original owner, so it was difficult to clear her name. This time she deliberately chose to be in front of the Yamen of Dali Temple, firstly to avoid the sight of gossips, and secondly, at that time It was dark, so there were probably not many people who saw her, and most of the people who came in and out of Dali Temple were officials from the imperial court, so no one was despising themselves to talk about her.
Finally, in order to avoid suspicion, Song Jingwei specially invited her to the side hall of the Yamen where he received guests. All four doors were open. She did not make any excessive movements at all. The two of them were eight feet away from each other from beginning to end.
It's very intriguing that rumors can spread under such circumstances.
Xiaotao ran back angrily.
"Miss, this is terrible. Now there are rumors outside that you have fallen in love with Lord Song again. You want to break off the engagement with King Cheng just to pursue Lord Song!"
Sure enough, even arrangements were made to break off the engagement, and she only mentioned it once.
Is it Weng Linger?
Even when Suisui shifted her gaze, Xiaotao saw King Cheng standing next to him. She was so frightened that she bit her tongue and did not say the next words.
There are also rumors outside that her young lady has been having an affair with other men before she married into Prince Cheng's palace, and she cuckolded Prince Cheng!
"The good things you have done yourself, what do you think this king will do?"
King Cheng became angry but calmed down. He wanted to strangle Lian Suisui to death!
Lian Suisui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to know who spread the rumors?"
"I remember that I only talked about breaking off the engagement once in front of Jingshan Temple. Who was present at that time? Why did the rumor spread that I was going to break off the engagement?"
King Cheng said angrily: "Are you doubting me?"
Lian Suisui shook his head.
"I dare not doubt your lord, why don't you think carefully about who would benefit from destroying my reputation? I'm still busy, so I'll leave first."
King Cheng stood there and fell into deep thought.
The Chen sisters were ruled out, the emperor's uncle was ruled out, and there were others at the scene...
His expression changed and he turned around and returned home.
He was very satisfied with Weng Ling'er, his wife, who had a sweet appearance, a unique temperament, and was clever and resourceful. The day after she entered the house, he took the two maids who were serving him to his concubine.
It's not like other noble ladies who made a fuss about letting the maidservant out of the house, or found something wrong to make things difficult for her.
Instead of suppressing them, she even took the initiative to help them improve their status.
Lian Suisui is just a concubine, there is no need for her to frame her like this...
King Cheng hesitated, and then thought of a possibility. Could it be that Lian Suisui deliberately instigated the relationship between their husband and wife?
Lian Suisui was deeply in love with herself and would do anything to marry her. Could it be that she deliberately designed it to remind herself and frame Weng Ling'er?
It's possible to think so.
"Damn, I almost fell into a trap!"
Even Sui Sui!
King Cheng gritted his teeth and let her fool him!
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
The maid reported that he was standing at the door and refused to come in. Weng Ling'er took the initiative to greet him and asked with concern.
"Why do you look so bad? Are you suffering from heatstroke?"
The noisy cicadas chirped endlessly, and the sun made the earth smoke. King Cheng stood in the sun, his body burning hot.
