"By the way, there will be some exciting gossip from the Rong'an Marquis Mansion tomorrow. Just pay attention and you'll find out." Ao Shichu smiled mysteriously at Qi Liangjun.
Qi Liangjun raised his left eyebrow when he heard this, making his usually cold and serious appearance become lively and lively. Ao Shichu's heartstrings twitched hard again, but after all, he knew that rabbits don't eat grass from the side of the nest, so he had to cover himself up to be disobedient. "It's getting late, Mr. Qi, you'd better go back and rest early," he said, "I'm going back to rest too."
Qi Liangjun nodded and went back to the room. Ao Shichu then turned off the oil lamp and went back to his room, changed his clothes, washed himself again, and quickly fell asleep without a dream.
When I saw Qi Liangjun the next day, Ao Shichu turned into the "well-behaved and sensible" good sister of Ao Shiyan, without any sign of running out to seek revenge in the middle of the night.
Qi Liangjun and her had a good rapport, as if they had never fought or talked in the middle of the night last night, and they still unanimously became good friends and sisters in front of Ao Shiyan.
After eating the food, Ao Shiyan and Qi Liangjun went out. They had only one place to go as scholars, while Ao Shichu continued to tinker with the flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables in his backyard.
Qi Liangjun and Ao Shiyan came back in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the door, Ao Shiyan said to Ao Shichu with a very complicated expression: "Sister, do you think I heard some exciting news when I went out today?"
Ao Shichu thought about it for a moment and realized that the fire she made at Rong'anhou's Mansion last night was probably very lively. However, she still pretended not to know anything and asked Ao Shiyan in a dignified manner: "I don't know. Brother, please tell me quickly."
"It's the scandal in the Rong'an Marquis's house. It's the news about the cousin's house that we wanted to seek refuge with before. Well, luckily we didn't come to seek refuge with him at first, otherwise we would be embarrassed now." Ao Shiyan said with emotion. said.
When Qi Liangjun heard what he said, his eyes darkened, and he asked as if casually: "Are you related to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion?"
Ao Shiyan thought he was just curious, so he waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I am a distant relative of the fourth lady of Rong'anhou Mansion, but I haven't had any contact with him for many years. When we went to Beijing before, we wanted to join their family." , but when I later found out that their reputation was not very good, my sister and I decided not to seek refuge. Fortunately, we spent some time to inquire about their situation first. Otherwise, we would have gone to seek refuge blindly, and we might have died in the end. You don’t even know, look, isn’t it going to cause a scandal now?”
Ao Shiyan said with fear on his face.
"Brother, you haven't said the important point yet. What kind of scandal is going on in the Ronganhou Mansion?" Ao Shichu quickly reminded himself of this unreliable brother.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, haha..." Ao Shiyan patted his head and said with a smile, "There are rumors in the capital today that it is the second son of Marquis Rongan and Marquis Rongan. My beloved little aunt had an affair, and was blocked in bed last night. It is said that after the Rong'an Marquis Mansion found out, he fainted from anger, and he is still awake..."
Ao Shichu blinked, pretending to be shocked and disgusted, and said: "Oh my God, this Ronganhou Mansion is too chaotic, isn't it? Fortunately we didn't defect to it, otherwise our innocent reputation would have been lost. "
Qi Liangjun saw Ao Shichu's exaggerated performance and looked at her with his dark eyes. Ao Shichu gave him a tacit smile. Qi Liangjun paused and looked away.
Ao Shiyan gossiped and shared the news he heard with Ao Shichu: "Hey, in addition to the Duke of Rong'an who fainted from anger, there was also the second master's wife who was so angry that she scratched the second master's face. Now she has gone back to her parents' house, and she said she wanted to make peace with the second master, but I don't know if it is true or not..."
Qi Liangjun watched speechlessly as the brother and sister discussed the scandal with gusto, and finally couldn't help but remind Ao Shiyan: "Brother Ao, although Miss Ao is your sister, you should also pay attention to your sense of propriety and not be careless with her. Are you talking about these private scandals of other people's families? And they can be considered your relatives and elders? "
Who knew that Ao Shiyan waved his hand indifferently and said, "What's the matter? We no longer regard them as relatives, they are just strangers. What does it matter if we talk about strangers' things? This kind of thing happened in Mobei. , what we have heard in the village is much more exciting than what happened at the Rongan Hou Mansion, such as father-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister and eldest brother-in-law, niece and uncle..."
"Ahem!" Qi Liangjun was so shocked that he choked on his own saliva when he heard these outrageous words. He kept coughing, and his handsome face turned red.
"Hey, Brother Qi is a gentleman. You probably haven't heard of these nasty things that can break people's eyes, right? No wonder they are so rare and strange. When you hear more in the future, you will feel that it is nothing more than this..." Ao Shiyan He patted Qi Liangjun on the shoulder as if he had come before.
"Brother is right, Mr. Qi. I have heard much more disgusting things than this when I was in Mobei, so you don't have to worry about me. I have a strong ability to accept." Ao Shichu said, saying to Qi Liangjun He smiled pointedly.
Only then did Qi Liangjun remember that the affair between the second master of the Marquis of Rongan and his father's aunt was exposed by the clever and sensible young girl in front of him, so he couldn't treat her in a normal way.
So he didn't care about the brother and sister.
The scandal in Rong'an Hou's Mansion caused a stir in the capital because the best time for secrecy and clarification was missed. Even though Rong'an Hou's Mansion later spread the news that the man and woman who had an affair were a pair of slaves and not Ron'an Hou. Everyone no longer believed the master of the mansion. Instead, they laughed at the people in Rong'anhou's mansion who told lies with their eyes open. There was no three hundred taels of silver in this place and they were guilty of being thieves...
In short, their clarification not only failed to clear their reputation, but instead gave everyone another laugh.
In the end, Marquis Rongan, who finally regained consciousness, was called into the palace and scolded severely by the emperor, who asked him to take good care of his backyard and stop causing such scandals.
After the Marquis Rongan was humiliated and punished his second son and his aunt for cuckolding him, he fell seriously ill.
Of course, with such a scandal standing in the way, the "little things" such as the fourth lady Cui Zhihuan having her tongue cut off and suffering from a strange disease that caused severe pain all over her body were not so noticeable.
Except for Cui Zhihuan herself, her tongue was cut off and she couldn't curse anyone she wanted to. She was still in constant pain and couldn't even get up, so her abilities were limited. She was looking like a cripple and wanted to be as domineering as before. Bliss is impossible.
