Chapter 75: Bad things
  From the time Shen Zhuoxi woke up to now, she went to the palace besides going to Prince Yu's Mansion and Youxiang Mansion.
  There aren't many scandals that can involve her, unless...
  Shen Zhuoxi knew it well, but pretended to be ignorant on his face, and said in surprise: "I am innocent, so I would be implicated in something scandalous. Is it wrong, Madam?"
  The right minister's wife quickly said: "Of course I believe you are innocent, but..."
  She hesitated for a while and then said: "Wu Yong, the nephew of Mrs. Wu, the young minister of Dali Temple, is doing random things outside. He gave your name. He said that he had something personal with you. He also said that he had passed through the Grand Master. The government allows it.”
  "A woman's reputation is so important. If he did this, it would have spread long ago. The second lady should make plans in advance."
  After all, it is a family matter, and Mrs. Right Prime Minister cannot say much, so she can only leave it at that.
  It has to be said that Yu Qinglian's move was really vicious. Shen Zhuoxi thought they were colluding and planned to settle the matter quietly.
  Unexpectedly, he wanted to implicate her reputation in this way, so as to force her to submit obediently.
  However, she is not the Shen Zhuoxi who was bullied and resigned.
  Since Yu Qinglian wants to take advantage of Youyou Zhongkou, Shen Zhuoxi should follow suit!
  Who doesn't know how to act?
  Her eyes turned red, and she looked at Mrs. Right Prime Minister who was about to speak but hesitated, looking like she was wronged and did not dare to speak.
  Mrs. Right Prime Minister saw the clues, and I felt pity for her, and a sense of justice arose spontaneously. I took her hand and said, "Tell me if you have any grievances. You are Shen Zhi's savior and my benefactor." "
  "As long as I can help, and the Right Prime Minister's Office can help, I will definitely help you settle it."
  "Madam." Shen Zhuoxi sat down in the corridor and choked: "These are family matters and should not be brought out to embarrass people. There is really no way."
  "Not long after I recovered, the eldest lady asked many matchmakers to come to my door to propose marriage to me. They all said that my parents ordered me to go to a matchmaker, and I couldn't resist."
  "Who would have thought that the eldest lady actually believed in Mrs. Wu and wanted to match Mrs. Wu's nephew with me. She also said that Mr. Wu is a talented person with a gentle personality and will definitely be a talented person in the future."
  "I couldn't bear to look at this kind of thing myself, so I sent my maid to inquire about it. All the information I got was that Mr. Wu was a waste of time and had no knowledge and skills. He was an incompetent person."
  "If I really marry this kind of man, the rest of my life will be ruined. Now that I don't even have a character, Mr. Wu is just talking nonsense outside. I..."
  At this point, Shen Zhuoxi couldn't speak any more and started sobbing with her face covered.
  The more Mrs. Right Prime Minister listened, the more something was wrong. Until now, she couldn't believe it and said: "You mean, Wu Yong is really the marriage that the eldest lady told you?"
  She thought it was Wu Yong who was behaving badly outside!
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded, his eyes filled with tears after taking his hand away.
  The right minister's wife was shocked and said: "You are the legitimate daughter of Princess Xiaoqing. After knowing the truth, why didn't you go to the Queen Mother and tell her?"
  "Grandma went to ask the Queen Mother earlier. The Queen Mother said that the Shen family will make the decision on the marriage." Shen Zhuoxi sighed and said with a tearful voice: "That's the rule. The eldest lady is the mistress."
  "The marriage she mentioned must be approved by the Grand Master. I dare not resist, otherwise I will become an unfilial person."
  "Even so, Wu Yong is notorious, and it's impossible for the eldest lady not to know about it!" The right minister's wife was even more suspicious: "The eldest lady has always been kind, and she is famous for her good temper among noble ladies."
  "As for the concubine in your house, she raised her under her knees and loved her more than her own daughter, let alone your marriage. Didn't she ask about Wu Yong's personality beforehand?"
  Shen Zhuoxi shook his head with tears in his eyes: "I don't know, maybe Mrs. Wu has a good relationship with the eldest lady and deliberately deceived her."
  "The closer we are, the less likely we are not to know the details." After all, Mrs. Right Prime Minister is the mistress of a wealthy family. Then she thought of the key: "It seems that the eldest lady in your Grand Master's residence is not as kind as the rumors say." ."
  "The Grand Master is a man after all and will not participate in this. I will come to your door tomorrow to seek justice for you personally."
  Shen Zhuoxi wiped the corners of her eyes and said with red eyes: "I am very touched that the right minister's wife can say these words. Please don't wade into this muddy water for the time being. I will go back and communicate with the first lady myself."
  "In case it doesn't work, I'll ask for your help again, but how did you know that Wu Yong was trying to gain my reputation outside?"
  Mrs. Youxiang handed her a handkerchief and said casually: "There is a tea shop on West Street under the Youxiang Mansion. Next door is the largest brothel, Baihualou. Drunk people often go there to drink tea."
  "Today, when the boy went to deliver goods, a fight broke out in the Baihua Building. He took a chance to watch the excitement. One of the parties involved in the trouble was Wu Yong. He and Zhu Kun, the eldest son of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, fell out over a girl."
  "The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue is a senior official, but Wu Yong's uncle, Shaoqing, is a junior official, so he mentioned you and the Grand Master's office. There are many people in Baihualou, so this matter must have spread."
  Humph, thanks to this Wu Yong is really useless and has no brains!
  Shen Zhuoxi laughed in his heart, with a look of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face: "I'll go back and ask the eldest lady what she means."
  "You." The right minister's wife paused, then reminded: "Wu Yong dares to say it in public. I am sure that the family has already discussed the matter closely, and now it has become known to the whole city."
  "The Grand Master values ​​his reputation. For the sake of the reputation of the Grand Master's house, I'm afraid he will force you to marry Wu Yong. If you can't argue, send someone a letter as soon as possible and I will start making plans for you."
  Shen Zhuoxi thanked him again and again, then got on the carriage and returned to the Grand Master's Mansion.
  Halfway through, Huizhi couldn't help it and said: "The eldest lady is too despicable. Instead of asking what you mean, she just tied the knot with Mrs. Wu and sold you."
  "Now, you are forced to accept this trick of cooking raw rice into cooked rice. Why don't we go to the palace and seek justice from the Queen Mother?"
  "What are you bothering the Queen Mother about?" Shen Zhuoxi's lips raised a meaningful smile: "Yu Qinglian dares to plot against me, and I will let her have a taste of being plotted against!"
  Huizhi didn't understand what she was going to do and said suspiciously: "Then let's go back and find the eldest lady?"
  "If you don't look for it, pretend you don't know." Shen Zhuoxi smiled even more, straightened his clothes, and said, "The more innocent you can be, the better!"
  The news about Baihua Tower spread really fast, and someone reported the news as soon as Jing Muling returned home.
  He listened with a cold face, and the more he listened, the worse his face became. However, the servants were all gone, so he still said nothing.
  Zhengqing and Zhengyang looked at each other, neither of them dared to speak first.
  When the tea on the table was replaced with a second one, Jing Muling finally spoke, her voice hoarse: "How many more months will she have until she has haircuts?"
  Zhengyang was stunned for a moment before realizing who he was asking, and quickly said: "Hui Ye, there are still more than three months left."
  "Where is Shen Xinyu?" Jing Muling opened the tea cup, blew on the leaves floating on it, and then asked, "I remember that Yu Qinglian gave birth to two daughters."
  "Miss Shen is still half a month away from having haircuts." Zhengyang thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Shen does have a daughter who is twin to Shen's eldest son, Shen Zehuan, and she will be born in more than a year."
  "My daughter is doing these low-level things even before she is married." Jing Muling closed the lid of the bowl heavily and said, "I haven't been to see the emperor for a long time. I'm getting ready tonight. I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor." Drink!”
