The Splendid Manor of the Peasant Girl in Space

Chapter 96 Gossip
"Who is it?" Everyone was curious.

"That man is Bai Zi'an, Mr. Bai, who married the daughter of the magistrate of Yang County. Ye Kexuan actually shamelessly robbed the magistrate's daughter of a man. Now that Li Qiming left her behind, he must have found out, and then he didn't want her anymore. "The woman said loudly.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and thought it was ridiculous. They didn't expect Ye Kexuan to be such a flirtatious woman.

Seeing that everyone was slandering the master, Qiaoer yelled: "You are talking nonsense, my master is not that kind of person, I want to tell the master, let the master teach you a lesson."

After speaking, he cried and ran to find the master.

Ye Kexuan, who was cleaning fish by the river, heard crying, stood up and saw Qiaoer running back into the house, cleaned the fish that had been killed in the river, got up and went back.

Qiao'er searched around the house but couldn't find the master. When she came out and saw the master came back, she jumped up and said, "Master, they all speak ill of you."

"What bad words?" He actually made the girl cry and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Master, Xiao Niuzi's mother said that Master didn't take you away because you had an affair with another man, and she also said that she saw it with her own eyes this morning. Qiaoer was so angry that she beat her, but there are too many people in the village, so Qiaoer I can't handle it, Master, you and I will teach them a lesson, and see if they will talk nonsense."

After hearing Qiaoer's words, she frowned, she didn't expect things to spread so fast.However, she is very happy that Qiaoer defends her master like this.

"Okay, the mouth grows on other people, we can't stop it, let them say it if they want to say it! Master just have a clear conscience." After finishing speaking, seeing the dirty fish in Qiaoer's hand, said, "Forget it, tonight we will not cook fish with pickled cabbage, but fish with braised sauce. Let's cook these two together."

Qiaoer nodded, looked down at the dirty fish, and said shyly, "I'll go wash it."

"Go!"

Looking at Qiao'er who was relieved, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Gossip will kill people, but she doesn't care, just be yourself, and believe that the rumors will be self-defeating.

a few days later.

"Ma'am, it's here."

Madam Bai got down from the carriage and looked at the house in front of her. She didn't feel much, but her eyes flickered when she saw the medicine field.

Ordinary people who can grow herbs by themselves, although she is Mrs. Bai, still know what some common herbs look like.

When Qiaoer came out, she saw a noble lady, took a few more glances, and then asked:
"Excuse me, is this lady here to see your master?"

Mrs. Bai looked at Qiaoer and liked it very much. Mrs. Bai, who always thought of her daughter, laughed when she saw Qiaoer.

"Is your master's name Ye Kexuan?"

"Yes, ma'am, wait a minute, I'll go talk to my master." After speaking, he turned and went in.

After a while, Ye Kexuan and Qiaoer came out.

Looking at the lady in front of him, he was sure he didn't know her.

Madam Bai also looked at her.

"You are Miss Ye Kexuan Ye?"

"Who are you, ma'am?" asked back.

"I'm Bai Zian's mother."

Upon hearing this, she suddenly realized, no wonder she felt familiar at the first glance, Bai Zian's eyes were very similar to this lady's eyes, both had double eyelids, very pretty.

"I don't know what you came to see me for?"

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Mrs. Bai smiled.

When she said that, she was naturally invited in.

Ask Qiaoer to make a cup of herbal tea for Mrs. Bai.

Madam Bai took a look, the smile on her face deepened, and she was even more satisfied with her.

Ye Kexuan could see Mrs. Bai's expression, but she was curious about the purpose of her coming here today.

"I don't know what's the matter with Mrs. Bai today?"

Madam Bai looked at her, courageous, she took a sip of tea, her craftsmanship was good, she liked it very much, except for her background, she was better than Yang Manxin in everything, and her son would marry her as well.

Seeing that Mrs. Bai didn't speak, she was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Madam Bai was watching while drinking tea, to see how patient she was, and she spoke only when the cup of tea was almost bottomed out.

"I heard from Zian that he likes you very much. I came here today to see what kind of woman makes him not think about food or tea."

After hearing Mrs. Bai's words, she smiled and said, "But I don't like him."

When she heard that she didn't like Zi'an, Mrs. Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Why? What's wrong with my family's Zi'an?"

"There's nothing wrong with him, but I don't like it. Since Mrs. Bai can find her here, she should know that I have a husband."

"But I heard that your husband doesn't want you anymore, and it's because of my family's safety." Mrs. Bai smiled triumphantly.

Seeing how Mrs. Bai knew her enemy and her friend, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Bai is indeed Mrs. Bai. You all know this. Before you came, you must have checked all eighteen generations of my ancestors!"

Mrs. Bai could hear the meaning of her words and knew that she was being sarcastic.

"It's about Zian's affairs. As a mother, I have to be cautious."

"Understood." She smiled, and continued, "However, Mrs. Bai, you may not know that my husband didn't abandon me, it's just that I don't want to go."

This surprised Mrs. Bai and wondered why.

"Why don't you go with your husband, I heard that he has become a general, isn't it good to be a general's wife?"

She smiled, and didn't answer Mrs. Bai's question immediately, but did so after a while.

"Perhaps my husband didn't force me to go to Youdu with him for my safety. Why don't you think so, Mrs. Bai?"

Ji Huiya really didn't think about this, but this kind of situation is very small.

"Why is Miss Ye deceiving herself?"

"Am I deceiving myself and others? Could it be that Mrs. Bai can't see it?" She asked back.

Seeing her like this, Ji Huiya felt that there was no need to continue, so she got up and said when she left, "Miss Ye can think about it, as long as you are willing, I will let Zian come to pick you up."

"I understand Madam Bai's heart, so I won't send Madam Bai off. Madam Bai walks slowly." She kept smiling.

Ji Huiya looked at her, nodded, turned around and left with her people.

As soon as they left, Qiaoer came in.

"Master, she didn't bully you, did she?" Just now, when the lady said that it was Bai Zi'an's mother, she knew that she was here to settle accounts with the master.

Looking at the nervous Qiaoer, he knocked on her head.

"Is your master the one who is so easily bullied?"

Qiao'er touched the place where it was knocked, smiled and shook her head: "No."

"But, master, what did she ask you for?"

"It's nothing, it's not something you should know. Well, you go to practice, don't be lazy, if you can't meet the master's requirements, when the time comes, the master will not take you to Youdu."

Upon hearing this, Qiaoer immediately went to practice.

After finally convincing the master to go to Youdu, he can't be wasted.

In fact, she decided to go to Youdu yesterday, but not now. She thought about it for a while and did what she needed to do.

******
The days passed quickly, and it was summer in a blink of an eye, and she changed into the newly bought thin clothes.

On this day, she was still waiting for Qiaoer at the door as usual.

After three days in the sun, Qiaoer did not come for a long time. She was a little worried that something happened, otherwise Qiaoer would not be able to keep time.

Thinking about it, I closed the door and went to the village.

When she entered the village, she heard that someone had died. As for who died, she didn't hear clearly, so she walked over and asked, "Who died?"

In fact, the first thing she thought of was Qiao'er. After all, in today's situation, anyone would think so.

Seeing that it was her, everyone stepped aside one after another, as if she was a dirty thing.

"Why did you come to the village, you shameless woman?" The rumors about her and Bai Zi'an were still circulating in the village, and not only did they not get depressed, they even intensified.

That's why she was rejected.

Ye Kexuan ignored their actions and asked again: "Who died?"

Seeing that her face was cold and a little scary, the woman who was questioned told her.

"It's Zhao Li who died."

When she heard that it was Zhao Li, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to Qiao'er's house.

Walking to the door of Qiaoer's house, he heard the sound of Qiaoer arguing with someone, and stepped in.

I saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a matchmaker coming to Qiaoer's house, and she kept talking to Qiaoer's mother.

"You go, my family doesn't welcome you." Qiao'er dragged her and forgot to leave outside. When she saw the master coming, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and shed tears.

"master."

Seeing her daughter throwing herself into Ye Kexuan's arms, Qiao Erniang began to cry, and she lowered her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't cry, what happened?"

Seeing that she looked familiar, the matchmaker didn't remember who it was, but she was sure that this girl should also be the one who passed her hands, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "The rich man in the neighboring village has his eyes on this girl, as long as she agrees to marry her, he will immediately give 100 taels There are also some dowries, which is a great thing."

"Since it's a great thing, why don't you marry?" She remembered this matchmaker, she was the one who pinched her once, and she didn't expect to meet her today, so she must be taught a good lesson.

The matchmaker smiled: "You really know how to joke. I want to marry, but they don't want me. I just like little girls like Qiaoer."

"Master, if I don't marry, the rich man will be in his 80s or [-]s."

Upon hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Qiaoer's mother.

"You promised?"

Qiaoerniang shook her head and said: "But what if you don't agree, the rich man will try his best to get it if he likes it."

After listening to Qiaoerniang's words, I understand.

"Qiaoer, don't be afraid, the master will protect you, and will never let you marry a bad old man."

The matchmaker at the side heard this, her face changed, and she warned: "This is up to you, my little lady, I advise you not to fight that rich man, you cannot fight."

"Really?" Ye Kexuan smiled, "Then I'll give it a try and see if I can win the fight. A small rich man is not afraid of retribution for robbing women like this, maybe He might die tonight, maybe."

"You, fine, if this is the case, then I will go back and report to the rich man to see how long you can last."

After finishing speaking, she walked out of Qiao'er's house, and fell hard just as she was leaving the door. The matchmaker lost one of her front teeth, and finally called it unlucky, and left in a hurry.
