In the capital~
"Second prince and Miss Li will get married next month!", a girl in green robe exclaimed. These few days, the hot rumors would be about Li Xi Rui and long Jie's marriage.
"What? Isn't that too early?", another young miss in purple asked.
"What early? They are not exactly young anymore", the green robed girl replied. Her tone filled with ridiculed.
"Or maybe it was because of something else", a young miss in yellow approached the girls. The miss in yellow wore a veiled with only her eyes showing. The eyes twinkled with mischief. While her maid is shadowing behind her miss.
"What do you mean?" the green robe asked with interest.
"Isn't it known that miss Li had been going everywhere together with different men?", the yellow robed miss spoke slowly. Who didn't know about two most loose-mouths young ladies in the capital? If they heard the news todays, by the end of the day, all common people will heard about it.
"Isn't it only with second prince?" the purple robed lady asked.
"Not only with second prince, she also had a close relationship with this year's top scholar Bai Wu Chen", the yellow robed lady spoke with disdain.
"Where did you hear this? Don't tell a lie" the purple robed lady is suspicious.
"I saw it with my own two eyes. This miss wouldn't lie. She must have been dirtied already that's why they hastily married her off", the yellow robed miss couldn't wait to dirty Li Xi Rui's reputation!
"Whose child is in her stomach, Second prince or Bai Wu Chen? Both are outstanding. She is too lucky!", the miss in green spoke with envy. Even if Li Xi Rui is dirty, the men she associated with are outstanding and talented.
"Maybe she also wouldn't know!", the yellow robed lady wanted to laugh. She couldn't wait to see the fruit of her works.
"Of course it's the second prince's child. I wouldn't look at another man besides my fiancée. Yes, our child will look good with both of our gene combined!", another voice interrupted the conversation of the three ladies.
Turning around, their eyes become big as they saw a lady with a white veil. Recognizing the scowling Xiao Xi as Miss Li's personal maid, the three gossips monger freezes in their place.
"Why don't you continue? This miss is truly interested in the subject. If there is anything you wanted to know, you could just ask this miss. This miss is not greedy with the information", the melodious voice speaks with sarcasm. Li Xi Rui is not going to just let herself be bullied.
"…a…h… we didn't say anything!", the young miss squeaks while the purple robed miss nodding her head up and down vigorously. One has to wonder if her neck would be okay afterwards.
"It's true! Hasn't your maid been buying too much sour fruits lately? Who are you trying to fool?", the yellow robed miss shout, attracting the attention of people in the vicinity.
"Didn't I just admit that? It's the second prince's child. Why? Did you wanted it to be a different man's child?", Li Xi Rui questioned that girl. Who is this girl trying to drag her name in the mud? Isn't her name has been totally black by now? So what is this girl intention?
The yellow robed girl looked around her and suddenly panicked. "This miss need to go first", she walked away with her maid on tow. Quickly, they disappear in an alley.
Seeing the girl run with her tail between her legs, Li Xi Rui couldn't help but thinking she had seen that silhouette before. But she couldn't recall which young lady is that.
"Shows over, there is nothing to see here!", Xiao Xi urged the crowd to disperse. She is now very worry about her miss. What would the second prince do if he heard about this? Isn't it will be troublesome? And remembering the time her miss's body become blue-black, isn't it confirming the gossip to be true?
"Miss", Xiao Xi called Li Xi Rui.
"Let's go back!", Li Xi Rui walked towards her carriage. They had just come to buy some cooking ingredients. It has been a while since she steps out from the house. Whoever would predict they would encounter three ladies badmouthing her? Smiling, her instinct told her that the young lady in yellow will target her again. She couldn't wait to catch that woman! As for her reputation, it's already black as the back of a pot. If Long Jie canceled the engagement, then it would be better for her. As for her being pregnant, well she just has to wait till Qi Qi comes back to the capital.
