C163 Rumor

Returning back to her living quarters, Ji Shuangshuang continued to do her own things. The time wasted at Lady Liu today was not useless. At least, she knew that the goal of Lady Liu wasn't simple. She also understood what kind of person the Lady Liu was. It didn't matter if her goal was pure, she might not interact with him in the future.

Some things were really just said casually. If the other party really took it to heart, then she would have nothing to say. Of course, if she really took what Lady Liu said seriously, then she would probably die.

"Elder sister, are you there?" Xiaoqiu's voice came from outside the door. Ji Shuangshuang's movements paused for a moment, she quickly picked up the towel placed at the side and wiped her face, then simply tidied up her clothes before going to the door.

"Xiaoqiu, why are you here?" Ji Shuangshuang looked at the person at the door.

Xiaoqiu looked up at Ji Shuangshuang: "I heard that you went to find Lady Liu."

Ji Shuangshuang was silent. How did she not know that the rumors spread so fast? She had only been back for a short while, and Xiaoqiu knew about it. Did that mean that the entire household knew about it?

"Why do you ask?" Ji Shuangshuang frowned slightly, "I remember you never asking about matters of the mansion."

Xiaoqiu stomped her feet, her tone sounding a little unwell: "But, big sister, do you know what the people outside said?" If she had not heard some rumors, Xiaoqiu would not have rashly ran over to look for Ji Shuangshuang.

It was also because Xiaoqiu didn't do anything else today and walked around outside.

"What did you hear?" Don't worry, take your time. I'll take care of everything. " Looking at Xiaoqiu's expression, Ji Shuangshuang had a bad premonition. It felt like something was about to happen. She sighed in her heart. Hopefully, it was just an illusion. However, she still comforted Xiaoqiu softly.

Looking at Ji Shuangshuang's face, Xiaoqiu also calmed down. She had learned quite a few things from Ji Shuangshuang's side, so she naturally learned how to remain calm in the face of danger. She was furious, you know.

However, after seeing Ji Shuangshuang, she calmed down: "I heard some things outside today, and I also know that you might be meeting with Lady Liu soon. When I was leaving today, I heard a maid talking about it. When you went to see Lady Liu today, you were extremely disrespectful to her. "

"And they also said that the reason why the Lady Liu sought you out, was actually because they hoped to eliminate the conflict between you and Yan Xiqing. However, not only did you not agree, you even taunted Lady Liu. Now people outside are saying you don't respect your elders. There are also people who say that if the general comes back and finds out about this, he will definitely punish you. "

"Elder sister, what should we do now?" After she finished speaking, Xiaoqiu looked at Ji Shuangshuang and asked with anticipation. It seemed to be hoping that Ji Shuangshuang could come up with a good idea right away.

Ji Shuangshuang was silent. Could this be the reason why Lady Liu was looking for her? Just to make her suffer a bad reputation?

She didn't care about her reputation, but in the end, this place wasn't like the village. This was the capital city, and many people cared about prestige. If their reputation was not good, Xiaoqiu would be implicated. Thinking about all these, Ji Shuangshuang frowned: "Who said that from?"

He had to find the source in order to stop him, didn't he?

After asking, Ji Shuangshuang scolded herself that Xiaoqiu had come to the General's Mansion at the same time as her. Furthermore, from the moment Xiaoqiu had entered the Palace until now, she had almost never stepped out of the house. Wasn't her asking Xiaoqiu these kind of questions for nothing? Even if Xiaoqiu was smart, she shouldn't have asked such a question.

Listening to Ji Shuangshuang's question, Xiaoqiu was clearly stunned, she obviously did not expect her to ask such a question. To be honest, she really didn't understand General's Mansion. Regarding Ji Shuangshuang's question, she had no way of answering it.

However, if Ji Shuangshuang asked, she would have to think about who spread it. Thinking about it, Xiaoqiu felt that Lady Liu was the most suspicious one. It was the Lady Liu who asked Ji Shuangshuang out, and such a thing happened right after Ji Shuangshuang returned.

"Elder sister, I don't know who spread it. However, I feel that Lady Liu is the biggest suspect in this matter. Because she invited you. It was also because of what happened after you went to see her that no one could help but doubt her motives. " Xiaoqiu said seriously: "Oh right, what is Lady Liu looking for you for?"

Seeing Xiaoqiu's stiff little face and serious and cute look, Ji Shuangshuang smiled in her heart, thought for a bit, and said: "What you said is also not entirely true. The only ones who know that I want to see Lady Liu are not only me and Lady Liu. "

Ji Shuangshuang's words made Xiaoqiu give him a doubtful look. She didn't know why Ji Shuangshuang would say that. In her opinion, the Lady Liu was the most suspicious. Even if the two of them didn't go out in General's Mansion, who would scheme against them for no reason?

As for the reason behind Lady Liu framing Ji Shuangshuang, she did not know. However, this did not stop her from suspecting the Lady Liu. How could there be such a coincidence? Just seeing the Lady Liu once had caused such a thing to happen.

"Yesterday, Lady Liu came to find me. I was in the past, too. However, Yan Xiqing was the one who brought me there at that time. She didn't take me to the Lady Liu's place, and took me there instead. Lady Yang is definitely aware of my meeting with him. " Ji Shuangshuang said seriously: "So, it could also have been done by Lady Yang."

Listening to Ji Shuangshuang's analysis, Xiaoqiu was stunned. She did not understand why Lady Yang would target Ji Shuangshuang, "But, why would Lady Yang target us?"

"Lady Yang and princess are at odds. I am the princess' daughter-in-law, and as long as there is this little, it will be enough for Lady Yang to target me." Ji Shuangshuang did not think too much into it, and spoke straightforwardly.

Ji Shuangshuang's words did not have any flaw to Xiaoqiu. If it was really done by the Lady Yang, then there didn't seem to be anything to doubt.

However, after hearing these words, Xiaoqiu still felt that there was something wrong.

"Elder sister, I think that if Lady Yang bribes you to deal with the princess, it would also be a solution. She doesn't have to be against you. In the eyes of others, if she were to bribe the princess' daughter-in-law to deal with the princess, then the one who will lose face will be the princess. " Xiaoqiu thought for a while, then tilted her head and looked at Ji Shuangshuang.

Ji Shuangshuang became silent. She looked at Xiaoqiu seriously, as if Xiaoqiu had said something extraordinary.

In truth, she really did not expect Xiaoqiu to say that.

You have to understand, according to Xiaoqiu, the Lady Yang would bribe her in the event that she succeeded. Then, she was the traitor. Such a reputation wasn't bad, but it wasn't good at all. She also didn't think that Xiaoqiu would say such a thing.

Ji Shuangshuang suddenly realised that compared to Xiaoqiu, her fighting capabilities seemed to be stronger. Not only that, she had her own ideas as well. Should she say that everything was out of the blue?
