Chapter 234： Rumors are flying

Chapter 234 Rumors are flying

When Dongmei found this place, the boys were already playing games with their skin on their backs.

She stepped forward to pick up Jiayin, pulled off the handkerchief and wiped her face, "Girl, the old lady is cooking and is thinking about you. She asked me to take you back."

"Okay," Jiayin nodded, yawned, and waved to her brothers in Dongmei's arms.

Jia An Jiaxi also rarely had free time to play with her friends, so she waved her hand and did not follow them back.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiayin had a rare opportunity, so he leaned into Dongmei’s ear and said a few words.

Dongmei looked strange, but she still responded.

When the two returned to Li’s yard, the old lady was picking vegetables. When she saw that her granddaughter was eating like a tabby cat, she rushed to give her a bath.

There is a hot spring in the house, so taking a bath is the easiest thing.

Soon, Jiayin had a good bath, changed her clothes and sat in Dongmei's arms, waiting for her to talk about returning to the city.

Dongmei hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old madam, I'm afraid the Marquis will return from the expedition on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he has to go to the palace in Xindu to attend the palace banquet first. But there are not many people in the Marquis' mansion, can you and me Let’s go over together and clean up the Marquis’ mansion…”

This is really not a good excuse. Why is there a shortage of cleaning servants in such a large prince's mansion?

But Mrs. Li had no doubt at all, and was even happy to do some work for Mr. Hou.

She agreed immediately, and Jiayin immediately hugged grandma's neck and shouted happily, "Grandma, take Fu Niu with you!"

Orange Mrs. Li kissed her granddaughter, doting and scolding her, "You clingy spirit, no matter who grandma abandons, I can't forget you."

Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Li Laoer brought Liu Yang and Jiayi with a sullen face, and a strange man came in.

Dongmei stood up as soon as she saw the man, "Butler, why are you here?"

Great housekeeper? The butler of the Hou Mansion?

Old Mrs. Li was confused when she heard this. She dropped the vegetable basket and stood up.

The man was indeed the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, but he was bowing to the old lady very respectfully. It was obvious that he knew how the Marquis treated the Li family differently and did not dare to show any slightness.

As soon as everyone was seated, before tea was served, the village chief, Li Laosi, and Liu Biaotou all arrived.

The housekeeper was in a hurry to go back and didn't make any detours. After a brief greeting, he talked about Hua Ruyue and others, and then added another word at the end.

"In Xindu, rumors are flying all over the sky about our Marquis. They say that the girls from the Feitian Song and Dance Troupe were recruited by the Marquis, and Xindu is disturbed. I see that the momentum is not good, and I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this to bring trouble to the Marquis. I'm throwing dirty water, but I can't contact Mr. Hou for a while, so I can only come over and ask, do you know the date of Mr. Hou's return? "

Everyone frowned. They didn't expect that the matter would become such a big deal, and Hua Ruyue and others were so shameless.

Jiayi and Liu Yang were even more guilty and regretful. If they had not been tricked by those members of the singing and dancing troupe, they would not have been tricked and would have implicate the Marquis again.

The prince went to war and was **** on the battlefield, but no one praised him. Now because of such a bad thing, he has to be laughed at and insulted by others.

Dongmei whispered to the housekeeper that Mr. Hou would definitely come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were only four or five days left.

The chief steward was relieved, so he said goodbye and went back quickly.

Leaving everyone together to sit together makes them feel sad.

Li Laosi was the first to reflect, "It's all my fault for bringing back all this trouble."

Jiayi and Liu Yang, however, stepped forward and knelt down, admitting their mistakes with red eyes.

"It's not my fault, it's our fault. We didn't keep our mouth shut and told those women all the details about our family."

Liu Biaotou didn't know the detailed story. When his son said it, he stared.

“How many times have I told you that you can’t tell the truth when you go out and meet anyone? Why don’t you have a good memory?”

Both Jiayi and Liu Yang shed tears of regret. Jiayi even took the initiative to get his father's ruler and gave it to Liu Yang.

Bouncer Liu was really angry and slapped the two boys on the mouth several times. Even if he had some strength left, the mouths of the two boys were beaten like sausages, red and swollen.

Within three to five days, let alone talking, I am afraid it will be very painful even if I eat.

Everyone watched the master teach his apprentice, and even if they felt distressed, they could only endure it, hoping that the two boys would have long memories.

Jiayin lay behind her grandma, feeling sorry for her brother and not daring to say a word.

Until they were taken down by Li Laosi to apply medicine, she sneaked into the house and secretly stuffed a candy ball into each of her brothers.

You have to open your mouth to eat sweets. Jiayi and Liu Yang gasped in pain, but they accepted their sister's kindness.

At this time, for them, they were really depressed and regretful, and a little bit of sweetness gave them great comfort and encouragement.

Jiayin hugged his brothers and ran out to listen to the excitement.

Sure enough, with the village chief’s clear sense and the old lady’s decisiveness, this matter cannot be ignored.

Even though we are just ordinary people and can't help much, everyone has a mouth, right?

It is really not possible to go to teahouses and restaurants to tell the truth of the day and clear the name of the Marquis.

There is no way I can let Mr. Hou be slandered like this because of a few shameless women!

In the end, none of these are of use, so you can only go to court.

Whoever dares to accuse the Marquis of this matter should go to the emperor and make it clear.

The emperor is the cousin of the Marquis, how can he trust the Marquis?

Things have been settled like this. Entering the city, you must enter the city!

Sister-in-law Liu is now very skilled in managing the valley's accounts, and Li Laoer does not need to stay in the valley all the time.

Moreover, there were too many things involved this time. He was afraid that his family would suffer a loss, so he had to go along.

Li Laosi is born with supernatural powers. At any time, whether for self-protection or in trouble, having him around makes people feel at ease, so he must go.

The two boys Jiayi and Liu Yang must be taken with them, so that they can watch from beginning to end, and the lessons will be more profound...

Calculating it this way, plus Dongmei and Yeshan, the old lady and Jiayin, we have a full mule cart full of people.

No one dared to delay, they simply packed up and set off quickly.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into Mr. Wen’s carriage on the way.

In the new capital, he also heard rumors that were unfavorable to the Marquis, but he was afraid that rashly interfering would make the situation worse, so he had no choice but to come to Suijintan to discuss a solution.

I heard that everyone is going to the Hou Mansion. Ask them about the situation in detail and then think of ways to help.

Mr. Wen said, "Then I'll go to Liu's house and sit down. If you have news here, please send me news at any time. I'm the censor. It's not good for me to get too close to a general like the Marquis. At least I can't let him. Too many people know."

Everyone understood and responded one after another.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the new capital, the two parties separated.

With the guidance of Yeshan and Dongmei, the mule cart quickly arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady hugged the good news, got out of the car and took a look, and was shocked by the majestic house in front of her.

Compared to this house, the small courtyard of Broken Gold Beach is simply too simple and narrow.

It’s hard for the Marquis to stay in Suijintan for a few days every time he comes back...

Ye Shan was about to go in to find the butler. By chance, the butler took a regular attendant out and bumped into them.

The chief steward happily arrested Ye Shan and shouted, "I was about to send someone to deliver a message to you. The matter has been resolved! Everyone doesn't have to worry anymore!"

Everyone was surprised. They said in the morning that the incident was so serious, how could it be resolved after only one noon?

Two updates today, my dears, I will go back to the countryside to give my mother some food, drink and clothing on Mother's Day. The one update I owe will be made up one day later. In addition, I wish all mothers a happy holiday~~
