MTL - Help! The General’s Gone Mad With Pampering Me-Chapter 9 Debunk the rumors
Chapter 9 Breaking the Rumors
Inside the house.
Of course, the elders couldn’t hang around in the yard like the younger generation. They sat in the house, posing more upright one by one, chatting leisurely.
As for the content of the chat, it is naturally impossible for a woman to talk about the political affairs of the court. It is nothing more than the mess in the back house and gossip.
"Miss Lu, I heard that your Si Yan is back, will you not leave this time?"
It was He Ruhui who spoke, her husband is a lecher, and there are more than a dozen aunts in the family, one can imagine how much headache she has to take care of that house.
However, she also has a way to decompress herself, which is to see how bad other people's homes are.
Especially the Si family, they had long heard that Lu Xiangwan, that concubine, refused to accept discipline, and without saying a word, he joined the army and even gave up the house.
I heard that she came back from an injury, and it was rumored that she had a broken leg. He Ruhui was a little curious, but she couldn't ask directly, so she had to test it out.
Lu Xiangwan's answer did not disappoint He Ruhui.
"It's back, but it's just a pity... Alas, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, after all, he is a child. I will go to persuade him this time when I go back. It is not a solution to raise his body outside after all."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they put down the melon seeds in their hands.
"Really hurt?"
"Are you going to take him back to the Hou Mansion?"
Listening to everyone's chattering discussions, Lu Xiangwan didn't say anything clearly, so he took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"After all, he is the son of Lord Hou. He must have learned some lessons after this experience. If he can be safe and sound in the future, it will be a blessing in disguise."
He Ruhui continued.
"You are too kind. Thinking about what your concubine did before, your good intentions are really in vain."
He Ruhui was obviously picky about things, but Lu Xiangwan stopped talking.
There is no one who knows how to make decisions better than Lu Xiangwan.
He Ruhui felt itchy in her heart, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do about Lu Xiangwan.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly saw a figure, and the corner of her mouth immediately hooked.
"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Wu? Why did you come here by yourself without bringing your daughter-in-law with you?"
Wu Guifen froze, her daughter-in-law... Could it be Shen Li?
That broom star!
Wu Guifen came from a poor background, and she is able to get where she is today by relying on her husband and son.
Jin Changqing worked hard in the scientific examination and won the first place in the second class. After that, he stayed in Beijing as a scholar of the Imperial Academy. His official position was not high, but his future was promising.
Father Jin has come a long way, and he has caught up with the good times. He was just promoted to the third rank a while ago.
But even so, she didn't do well in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, mainly because she was not sociable, and she couldn't hide her petty air when she opened her mouth.
For example, at this time, when He Ruhui asked about Shen Li, Wu Guifen immediately became furious.
"Where did my daughter-in-law come from? Even Shen Li deserves it!"
In the past, people would have ignored Wu Guifen's vulgar words long ago, but today they seem to be very tolerant of her.
He Ruhui added fuel to the fire.
"Why not, I heard that your family beat gongs and drums to welcome you."
Wu Guifen immediately became furious when he heard this, and put aside the relationship.
"That was in the past, and now she has been ruined by bandits and lost her innocence. I went to save her with good intentions, but she even contradicted her. How could I let her enter my house again!"
If you know whoever put this sentence on a girl, it will be a disaster. It was just a rumor before, but now it is true.
He Ruhui's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Those rumors outside are actually true? Miss Shen's family..."
Before she finished speaking, He Ruhui suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures outside the door, and suddenly fell silent.
Shen Li and Jin Changqing looked at each other, Jin Changqing looked surprised, and walked up to Shen Li aggressively, with a tough tone.
"come over."
Shen Li had an expression of "Who are you", and didn't want to talk to him at all, but before she could escape, a figure suddenly rushed out of the room.
Mother Jin put her hands on her hips and looked angry.
"How did you come."
Shen Li felt that the one and the two were probably mentally ill, so she sneered.
"Is this your home, why can't I come."
Jin's mother choked, no matter what happened, she pulled Jin Changqing's arm, looked up and down at Shen Li,
"You are shameless, you have the nerve to come out and embarrass yourself when something like that happens."
Shen Li gave her a white look.
"Why didn't I dare to go out? On the day of our wedding, your son left me and ran away. Fortunately, I escaped the bandits by fate. I didn't expect that the men in your Jin family are not only cowardly, but also unresponsive."
People in the room tilted their heads and looked out when they heard the movement at the door.
He Ruhui pondered Jin's mother's words, rolled her eyes, and her face was full of surprise.
"This is Shen Li?"
As soon as the voice fell, the people in the room looked at each other in dismay. The Shen family had always lived in seclusion, and they only knew that the Shen family was a widow with a mute, and they probably did not go out to hide their embarrassment.
But who would have thought that the girl from the Shen family was so beautiful and could speak well.
Prime Minister Wen's wife went out to look for Wen Xiaoxiao. Just after she came back, she heard Shen Li's words at the door, and she couldn't help frowning.
In the past, she only knew that the Jin family encountered bandits on the way to welcome their relatives. After the girl from the Shen family came back, her temperament changed drastically. Even her elders dared to insult her. The Jin family had no choice but to withdraw the marriage.
But she didn't know that it was Jin Changqing who left the bride behind.
You know, Wen Xiaoxiao is discussing marriage with Jin Changqing, if the Jin family boy is really so irresponsible, she will never marry her daughter.
Xiao Ting looked at Shen Li and asked sharply.
"Is what you said true?"
Before Shen Li had time to respond, Wen Xiaoxiao over there was in a hurry, she said angrily.
"She must be talking nonsense. Brother Changqing has always been gentle and polite. How can he be such a person? It is obvious that you do not obey women's morals first and insult elders later. Brother Changqing doesn't want you."
Shen Li didn't know where the girl came from, so she just sneered and said in a calm manner.
"On the day I married him, he left me alone. I hid in the countryside for a night, and I didn't have any transgressive behavior with anyone. Why did I not behave like a woman.
Back home the next day, his Jin family insisted on labeling me as disrespectful, and even tried to demote his wife into a concubine. I scolded him lightly. "
When Shen Li said these words, everyone at the scene almost dropped their jaws in shock.
A grown-up man would leave his wife behind and even want her to be a concubine after she gets it back. Isn’t that a poor person, anyone who leaves her will have to beat her out.
Feeling the strange eyes around him, Jin Changqing couldn't hold back.
He was indeed reluctant to part with Shen Li, to be precise, he was not reconciled. Although he had already engaged in marriage, Shen Li seldom went out these few years, and he didn't even hold hands.
But looking at the current situation, Shen Li refused to compromise with his mother, and he couldn't help her anymore.
Jin Changqing sighed, then walked to Wen Xiaoxiao's side with a sincere expression on his face.
"Xiaoxiao, I used to be with her just because of my parents' fate, but now my whole heart is with you, so don't think too much about it."
