Chapter 24: Rumors
Yu Mingjiang stretched out his hand to help Xue Jiayi up, sighed, and said, "This is the capital, and I haven't gained a firm foothold yet." You and Jiawen are cautious, Jiawen has been too presumptuous these days. ”
When Yu Mingjiang said this, he didn't plan to pursue it. Xue Jiayi was happy in her heart, but when she looked up at Yu Mingjiang, she still had tears in her eyes, and her voice was even more aggrieved: "The concubine body knows, the concubine body and Jiawen were not sensible before, and the concubine body will restrain Jiawen for a long time." ”
Seeing Xue Jiayi like this, Yu Mingjiang was extremely distressed, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "I have always been relieved that you are doing things, Baoyun is not in good health now, you asked Jiawen not to go to the Home Security Courtyard again." I'll wait until it's over. ”
"Yes, the concubine listens to the master." Xue Jiayi's voice was gentle as if it could drip water, but the viciousness in her eyes seemed to be a poisonous snake spitting letters, and the slightest hint spread and wanted to bite Baoyun fiercely.
If she could swallow this breath, she wouldn't be Xue Jiayi!
It was still early, and when Yu Mingjiang went back to the study to deal with official business, she came to Juhua Courtyard to see Yu Jiawen.
Yu Jiawen's heart was still angry, and she didn't care when she saw her coming, so she turned her head and cried to herself.
Seeing that Yu Jiawen's cheeks were red and swollen, and her eyes were swollen from crying, she looked very pitiful, Xue Jiayi was very distressed, and walked over to take the hard-boiled eggs in Caiying's hand and wanted to help Yu Jiawen cover her face.
Yu Jiawen dodged away, and said angrily: "What is my mother still doing, everything is my daughter's own doing, I shouldn't have made that little slut angry, I deserve to be beaten!" ”
"You are the meat of your mother's heart, and your mother is more uncomfortable than anyone else when she sees you wronged. But if the mother didn't say this at that time, I was afraid that she would fall for that little slut's plan. Xue Jiayi explained.
Yu Jiawen was still angry, and said: "That little slut is just pretending to be sick, if my father knew, he would definitely not spare her!" ”
Xue Jiayi didn't know that Yu Baoyun was sick on purpose, but Yu Baoyun was able to get out, and she didn't know what method she used, but she was really sick.
"We know that she did it on purpose, but she deceived your father with a bitter trick, and it just so happened that the two adults, Wei Shangshu and Jiang Shangshu, also came, and your father had no choice but to handle it impartially. You don't have to blame your father, you can't blame your father for what happened in the officialdom. ”
Hearing Xue Jiayi mention Wei Rong and Jiang Mohan, Yu Jiawen's heart was even more annoyed, and she slapped the table and said, "Mother, that little slut doesn't know what kind of magic she used to seduce Lord Wei, and let Lord Wei defend her several times." ”
Speaking of this, Xue Jiayi also felt very suspicious, but she didn't take it to heart, and said: "It's just that she has a foxy face, don't worry, my mother has her own way to deal with her." ”
"What's the way my mother has it?" Hearing Xue Jiayi say that there was a way to deal with Baoyun, Yu Jiawen immediately became interested.
Xue Jiayi only touched Yu Jiawen's head with a smile and said, "You will know when the time comes, you just need to remember not to provoke her during this time, you can rest assured, your mother will help you get it back." ”
This is not the answer Yu Jiawen wants to hear, but it is unsatisfactory, so she did not dwell on it anymore.
As the sun rose the next day, the news that Wei Rong went to Yu Mansion to see Bao Yun yesterday spread in the capital, and even the interaction between Wei Rong and Bao Yun at the tea party spread all over the streets and alleys.
Almost everyone in the capital knows that Wei Rong, who has never been close to women, looks at Baoyun differently.
Kou Nuan went out to grab medicine for Bao Yun, and came back to tell Bao Yun about the rumors outside. Bao Yun's brows furrowed more and more when she listened, Kou Nuan knew so much just by going out for a while, so you can imagine what it was like outside.
At the tea party, the interaction between her and Wei Rong was seen by so many people, and they couldn't hide it at all. However, although it is not a secret that Wei Rong and Jiang Mohan came to Yu Mansion, they said that they came to see her, which is not something that anyone can spread out.
If it weren't for the people around her, or the people around Xue Jiayi and Yu Jiawen. However, Xue Jiayi and Yu Jiawen should not think that she has anything to do with Wei Rong, then the rest is the people around her.
She glanced at Yi Dan and Kou Nuan, Yi Dan was innocent and didn't see the deep meaning in Bao Yun's eyes. Kou Nuan was clever and well-versed in people's hearts, and saw Bao Yun's suspicion of them, so she knelt down and explained: "Miss, this word was not spread by the slaves. Yesterday, Yidan and the slave maid were in the yard all the time, and the slave and maid only heard these rumors when they went out today. ”
Only then did Yi Dan understand what Baoyun meant, and as soon as Kou Nuan's words fell, she also knelt down and continued: "Miss, the slave maid also just knew." The slaves and maids knew that the reputation of the young lady was greater than the sky, how could they spread such words to the outside. ”
Bao Yun was only suspicious, and after hearing the two of them's justification, Bao Yun thought about it again, unless someone was bribed behind them, it would not be beneficial for them to spread the word about this matter.
But this rumor seems to be only damaging to her reputation, and it is not beneficial to anyone.
It's Yu Mingjiang, I'm afraid it's Yu Jiawen who also wants to have something to do with Wei Rong.
"It's because I'm too careful, and you know my situation, and I hope you will forgive me." Bao Yun said apologetically.
"Miss is serious, it's all the uselessness of slaves and maids, so Miss is limited to this situation." Kou Nuan said in a deep voice.
Bao Yun chuckled lightly and said, "How can I blame you for being in this situation." "The real initiator is only afraid that he doesn't think enough of her situation, and wants to let her disappear into this world directly.
Yi Dan was also quite emotional, and said: "Even the slave and maid can see that the master and the lady are partial to the second miss, and they don't take the young lady to heart at all." ”
Baoyun doesn't take this to heart, after all, she is not really Yu Baoyun. Whether Yu Mingjiang and Xue Jiayi are good or not to her is not very important to her.
At most, Xue Jiayi and Yu Jiawen would be a little upset if they used methods against her.
"All right, get up." Bao Yun said.
Kou Nuan got up, thought about it and said to Baoyun: "Miss, your biological mother died early, and you don't have a grandfather's family, so the master doesn't pay attention to you, and Mrs. and Second Miss also bully you like this because you are helpless." According to the slave maid, the rumors in the capital this time are beneficial to you. ”
Bao Yun raised the corners of her mouth, raised her eyes to look at Kou Nuan, and said, "It's not that I didn't think of this layer, but who is Lord Wei, and how can we arrange it at will." It is not yet known whether the rumors will be good or bad for me this time, so I should not take the risk. ”
In addition to being the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wei Rong is also the sister-in-law of Prime Minister Wei, such an identity is more than enough even if he marries a princess, and he is involved with a girl from a mere squire's mansion, but I am afraid that if Wei Rong doesn't say anything, Prime Minister Wei will not be happy.
