The news of Chu Ying's rescue of Lei Mingji spread all over Hongcheng overnight, and the news of Huaiwang Mansion was also very clear. Chu Ying knew it at the first time.
Jia Feng said, "Princess, I have sent someone to investigate. I will soon find out who is behind the scenes."
Chu Ying said with a cold snort, "I offended Li Mian only yesterday, but today I'm telling you about my rescue of Lei Mingji. It's probably the bastard who did it, but I don't understand why he did it."
Jia Feng said, "It should be to discredit the princess."
Chu Ying was puzzled, and said, "I saved people and saved a hero who suppressed bandits. How can I ruin my reputation?"
Lei Mingji came to Jiangxi this time to suppress bandits. If several bandits in Qianzhou are wiped out completely, the local people will be able to have a peaceful life, which is a good thing.
Jia Feng said, "Princess, it's hard to avoid thinking about lonely men and women in the wild. But the Princess is still young, and we won't remember it in two or three years."
Chu Ying knows that fame is more important than life here. You are the only one who has lost your life. But if your reputation is bad, it will not only discredit the family, but also implicate the sisters who have not yet made five costumes. But fortunately, she is a royal family, and even if her reputation is damaged, she will not be involved in her siblings.
"Hurry to find out. If it is the news spread by Li Mian, I will beat him to the ground next time I see him again."
"Yes."
Listening to the news from the Snow Yard was a little late, but I still knew about it a day later. Princess Huai was so surprised and angry that she sent for Chu Ying.
Chu Ying held the book and lay down on the rocking chair, saying, "I can't go there if I want to read. It's the same here if I have anything to say."
Yesterday she got angry with Princess Huai, but she was affected by her original body. Chu Ying would not go to the Snow Yard to see Princess Huai even if he would bear the blame in the future.
Huixiang was very worried and said: "Princess, the princess said that she has something important to tell you. Princess, the princess is still waiting for you. Please go there!"
"Go out, and don't delay my reading."
Huixiang was shocked. You know, the princess was tired of reading. After going out, she took Qiuhan's hand and talked to one side.
Hearing her reading, Princess Huai said coldly, "Reading? If you want to find an excuse, you don't know how to find a better one. You can fool me with such an excuse."
Huixiang said softly, "Princess, the servant asked Qiuhan's sister. She said that the princess would read every day these days, and then would practice calligraphy for about half an hour."
Princess Huai asked dubiously, "What book did you read?"
"Three Character Classic."
When I said this, my voice went down unconsciously.
After hearing this, Princess Huai said irritably, "The Three Character Classic? Fortunately, she has the face to say that she can't help the wall with mud when reading."
Huixiang listened to her scolding and dared not speak out.
After half a ring, Princess Huai asked, "What else did she say?"
Huixiang dare not speak.
"Say."
Huixiang said carefully, "The princess said that since the princess is tired of her, she will not come to the snow yard to invite you. If there is anything, let the servants tell her."
Princess Huai was so angry that she smashed her favorite white glazed celadon chrysanthemum and plum tea cup. She regretted it when she came back to her senses. This tea set is a set. It can't be used without a cup.
Chu Ying thought that the rumor would disappear in two days, but he didn't want it to become more and more evil. At the beginning, she saved Lei Mingji, which is actually the truth; But the wind changed after a day, saying that she admired Lei Mingji, who knew his whereabouts and stayed in the inn together; Later, it was even more absurd. She said that she could not love Lei Mingji and deliberately asked the killer to perform a drama of a beautiful woman saving the hero.
Jia Feng was so angry that he said, "Sheriff, someone is behind this, to damage the reputation of the Sheriff."
"Didn't you find out?"
Chu Ying is not angry. Anyway, she is not ready to marry. It is said that if she is devoted to Lei Mingji, she can also use this to avoid marriage. Of course, this can only be thought of in the heart but not said.
Jia Feng shook his head and said, "No, but the person who spread the news found out that it was Li Mian. Princess, how should we deal with this?"
Chu Ying shook his head and said, "He didn't lie again. I really saved Lei Mingji. It would be unreasonable for us to go to him for this."
"Princess, do you mean that we have suffered this humiliation? If so, will they all treat us as bullies?"
Chu Ying, of course, could not just do that. He said, "Since he has spread my news, let's give him back by riding a man. I will spread the two things about beating the prince to take refuge in Hongcheng and having a habit of breaking hands."
"Princess, Li Mian only likes to go to Hualou and the theater these days when he comes to Hongcheng. He has never been to Nanfeng Hall. Besides, he has two servant girls in his mansion, so he can't be addicted to breaking his arms."
Chu Ying said with a sigh, "Lei Mingji and I have only met once, and we have been portrayed as crazy women who cannot love each other. What about going to Hualou, can't it be to hide the truth?"
She has always been in Hongcheng and Lei Mingji has been fighting bandits in the north. The two people do not meet at all. How can they love each other so much. So people who believe rumors are fools. Unfortunately, there are many fools in the world.
"Go ahead now."
After a while, Mu Wanhui came here. She brought three things with her this time. One is Huang Tingjian's running script "Songfeng Pavilion Poems"; Second, a purple jade pot spring bottle; The third is a pair of kilns with multicolored gold covered small bells.
On that day, Mu Wanhui said that he was trying Chu Ying by asking for something back. Unexpectedly, Chu Ying didn't even have any polite words, so she just asked her to return the things.
Mu Wanhui was bleeding, but she still sent back everything on the list. The three things returned were taken away by Zhang Shi, so they were delayed for two days.
After Mu Wanhui delivered the things, she apologized and said, "Cousin, there are still some things that have been damaged or lost, and they can't be found."
Chu Ying said, "Cousin, if you can't find anything else, you can forget it, but you must find the Painting of Autumn Mountains by Zhao Meng, the great painter of the previous dynasty. This painting is a gift from my father for my twelfth birthday. If I lose it, I can't explain it to my father."
All the things given to Mu Wanhui these years are listed separately. The list returned by Mu Wanhui is only about one third of the original one. The other Chu Ying wanted to forget, but changed his mind when he learned that Zhao Meng's paintings were valuable.
Mu Wanhui's face stiffened, and after a half tone said, "Cousin, I can't find this painting."
Chu Ying smiled and said, "In the capital, someone is willing to pay 4000 liang silver to buy Zhao Meng's paintings. Cousin, you told me you had lost such a valuable thing. Do you think I will believe it?"
Zhao Meng's paintings are rarely found in the market, so the price of his paintings is also very high.
