Chapter 82 Rumors
The women watching the fun around all showed surprised expressions.
Aunt Zhao was originally a concubine who was not worthy of being in public, and Xie Yuchuan acted as if he didn't care about her at all. As a result, they didn't have to worry about anything, and the discussion gradually became louder.
Public opinion and rumors are indeed sharper than swords.
this moment,
Aunt Zhao personally experienced the feeling of being in a vortex. She felt all the rumors that the out-of-place Shen Wei had endured in the capital.
It turns out that I feel so powerless and resentful.
So, this is the feeling...
"My Lord is right. A lowly concubine is not worthy of being on the stage. On such a big day, I should stay in my boudoir and not go out of the front door or the back door."
"She herself has bad character, but she had to come out and contradict Master Dong. She chose this time to come out and stroll in the back garden. Who knows what she is up to?"
"Maybe she took the initiative to seduce me. After all, Master Dong is a son of an official family. How could he flirt with a talentless and ugly concubine like her?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if Young Master Dong did something wrong, how could she destroy a man's foundation? Such an important event of continuing the family line has been ruined, which shows how vicious her heart is."
"In my opinion......"
It was these small, suspicious, and seemingly light slanders and defamations that made Aunt Zhao feel suffocated for a while.
She closed her eyes, clenched her fingers and said nothing.
Just like countless times Shen Wei was denied before, she remained silent, no longer defended herself, and was too lazy to argue, because Aunt Zhao finally understood...
There is no use explaining or refuting, this group of people won't listen.
"My dear, my dear son is so upright and honest, and he has never married. He was so kind to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but he was slandered by a concubine and ended up like this."
"Old lady!"
"My young master's foundation has been damaged. No matter what your mansion does, you must give an explanation to the Dong family." The servant demanded justice on behalf of Young Master Dong.
Master Dong curled up on the ground with a distorted expression, his head covered in cold sweat, his whole body shaking in pain, and he couldn't utter a word.
He could only grit his teeth and glare at Shen Wei viciously when no one was paying attention.
He glanced at the frightened Miss Lu unwillingly again!
It's her again!
It’s Shen Wei again!
Old Madam Hou was very reluctant to let Shen Wei go.
But her own son was determined to protect Shen Wei, and even pointed out in front of all the distinguished guests that he wanted Aunt Zhao to take the blame. Madam Hou, who did not want to hurt the relationship between mother and son, had to give up.
then,
The old lady pretended to be furious: "What the Marquis said is not without reason. If you were upright and honest, why would you come out to hang around at this critical moment?"
"How come Mr. Dong happened to see us?"
"After such a scandal, the Marquis' Mansion is too embarrassed to keep you. Since you injured Master Dong in the Marquis' Mansion, I will give the Dong family an explanation today!"
"Come here, send this concubine to the Dong family for disposal!"
Send it to the Dong family for processing? What can be done? I'm afraid it will go in vertically and come out horizontally.
Aunt Zhao raised her head suddenly, her pupils shrinking slightly.
She really didn't expect that the old lady would be so cruel that she would treat the lives of concubines in the harem so lightly and let them die like ants.
That’s when it happened!
Qin Shuyu, who was invited by Xiaoman, hurried to the back garden.
Shen Wei, who was standing next to Miss Lu, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Shuyu arriving.
Qin Shuyu walked over, and when she heard that Madam Hou was going to send Aunt Zhao to the Dong Mansion for disposal, her heart stopped for a moment.
She didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment: "Wait!"
"Mother, calm down. Aunt Zhao didn't go out for a stroll. I called her to tell her something. I didn't expect to run into Master Dong when I passed by the back garden."
"Mrs. Zhao certainly did something wrong. She shouldn't have kicked and injured Master Dong. But the backyard is a place for women. I don't know why Master Dong, a man from outside, came here."
Qin Shuyu shifted everyone's attention to Master Dong, and everyone was shocked.
Yes, why is Mr. Dong here?
Old Madam Hou stared at Qin Shuyu with a serious expression. After coming out of the Buddhist hall this time, she felt that Qin Shuyu had changed.
The Qin Shuyu who used to be sensible and knew when to advance and retreat has now become a bit like Shen Wei, and even dared to contradict her in front of so many people.
