She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

Chapter 389 Another

"This time something really big has happened!"

Natsuka gasped.

Qiao Zhenzhen was as calm as ever.

Dongxiang put down the work in her hands, stood up and poured her a cup of tea.

Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Have a cup of tea first, and then talk slowly."

Xia Xiang drank the tea in one gulp, and after catching her breath, she said, "Dead, someone's dead... That concubine of Master Wei, your former classmate, is dead! Two lives lost!"

An emotion flashed across Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes so quickly.

She frowned slightly, "The last time I went to the Marquis' Mansion, she didn't look very well, but she wasn't at the end of her rope."

There is weirdness.

But it's also normal.

She shook her head with regret.

I didn't feel anything inside.

Sooner or later.

Xia Xiang said, "That concubine Zhang is dead, so be it. But the rumors that have spread have implicated you, and they are really unpleasant!"

"Oh?"

"It's said..." She lowered her voice, "They discovered your affair with Master Wei, and in a fit of rage, they caused a miscarriage. Then they didn't make it, and... one body, two lives, both gone."

Qiao Zhenzhen was speechless.

So outrageous.

But it is undeniable that it is somewhat lethal.

People always sympathize more with the weak, and here even unborn children are involved.

If she wasn't involved.

After hearing this news, I would think that this princess is too much.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Dongxiang's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

"This has nothing to do with the princess."

Xia Xiang said: "Of course I know this matter has nothing to do with our princess, but others don't know——"

Dongxiang: "Clarify!"

"Hey, how can we clarify this? The person is already dead. No one wants to listen to what we say, let alone believe it." Xia Xiang was angry. "It's really unfair! That concubine Zhang died at the wrong time!"

Qiao Zhenzhen compared the two rumors that had been circulating during this period.

Enlightenment.

The first rumor probably came from Wei Yunzhi.

The purpose is to alienate her and Han Zheng's relationship.

The second possibility is that it was the wife of Marquis Jian'an who did it.

Although Wei Yunzhi had previously taken a concubine, which damaged his reputation somewhat, it was not seriously damaged.

This would reveal that he had made his concubine pregnant before marrying his first wife, which might result in the birth of a illegitimate son, something many prominent families could not tolerate.

But it's still not fatal.

Because of this adultery, this concubine will die twice...

The target is still the currently popular Princess Fuhui.

This makes it difficult for those who want to get married to take the first step.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a vicious plan."

Wei Yunzhi might want Zhang Qingwen to die, but definitely not at this time.

The spread of this rumor completely eliminated the possibility of Wei Yunzhi marrying into a noble family.

Xia Xiang: "Princess, why are you still acting like nothing happened?"

Qiao Zhenzhen spread her hands and said, "What should I do? The rumors have spread. Can I still refute them to everyone I meet?"

The so-called rumor-mongering is to open your mouth and refute the rumors.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Xia Xiang was so anxious that she was sweating.

Even Dongxiang, who was usually dull and dazed, blushed, and it was obvious that she was getting so anxious that her blood was boiling.

"Don't worry, it's just some gossip." Qiao Zhenzhen picked up Xie Qianzhong's letter and read it again. "The more you care about it, the more it seems like you have something to hide. If you don't take it seriously, then others won't take it seriously either."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "It's just that a concubine died."

Yes, an aunt.

She is a princess.

If the news spread today was that she and Wei Yunzhi committed adultery and were seen by his wife, resulting in two deaths, then it would have weight.

Maybe even the emperor and empress will come to ask about it.

The Marquis's wife wanted to destroy Wei Yunzhi, but she shouldn't have used her as cannon fodder.

Oh, do you think she's easy to bully?

Xia Xiang was indignant: "So we're just going to leave it like this? They're treating us like soft persimmons!"

Qiao Zhenzhen flipped a page of her notes and said, "Clarification is never the best way to deal with rumors."

"What should I do?"

"Come here with your ears."

Qiao Zhenzhen hooked her finger at Xia Xiang.

Dongxiang moved closer out of curiosity.

After Xia Xiang heard what Qiao Zhenzhen said, her eyes widened in shock, "Is this true?"

"it is true."

Xia Xiang laughed joyfully, jumping up and down as she stood up. "I'll do it right away, don't worry."

Qiao Zhenzhen nodded with a smile.

Xia Xiang ran out happily, and the study became quiet again.

Qiao Zhenzhen is reading a book.

Dongxiang lowered her head to work again, and the redness on her face faded.

The room was quiet.

It's as if nothing had happened.

-

When the rumor spread earlier, the Mo family did not come to inquire about it.

This time it was a bit outrageous, so Mo Qingyang sent a personal attendant to deliver a letter to Qiao Zhenzhen.

Asked what was going on.

Qiao Zhenzhen asked her attendant to take the reply letter she had prepared long ago back home.

In the letter, I explained the whole story.

Or did he go to the Marquis' Mansion to treat the Marquis's wife's illness, and also help take care of Wei Yunzhi's concubine.

The concubine was in poor health and did not look well at the time.

But he died within a few days.

As for why such an outrageous rumor spread.

This is unknown.

Maybe there is something dirty going on in the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, so I asked my father to help investigate it.

I explained the whole story clearly and assigned her father some work to do.

The matter of the Marquis' wife was left to Mo Qingyang to handle.

Mo Qingyang is not someone who is easy to deal with.

How dare you use his precious daughter like this?

Just be prepared to be slapped hard in the face.

-

As for the Han family of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, no one came to inquire about it.

Just like Qiao Zhenzhen said, it was just a concubine who died, so there was no reason to hold the princess accountable.

Qiao Zhenzhen pretended to know nothing.

I still paid my respects to the old lady as usual.

On the surface, the palace seemed peaceful.

As for how turbulent the sea was beneath the calm surface, Qiao Zhenzhen pretended not to see it and didn't want to see it.

Don't dance in front of her.

She was too lazy to slap him in the face.

If you have this free time, you might as well read a few more pages of a book.

Of course, Mrs. Lin wanted to take advantage of the situation, but she was foresighted enough to be kept by Old Lady Han's side. She had to serve her mother-in-law day and night, which was extremely miserable, and she temporarily lost the opportunity to torment her daughter-in-law.

But given her personality, she naturally wouldn't give up.

What is being planned secretly is unknown to others.

After all, from the outside, it seems that no matter how violent the storm is outside, it does not affect the peaceful life in the Duke's Mansion.
