Chapter 56 Rumors Spread
Yuan Xi smiled triumphantly: "Don't worry! My affairs are very secretive, I'll take you to see them some other day!" After speaking, he changed the subject: "But what's bothering you?"

Jingyi shook her head, "I'm not sure yet, let's see after two days."

After two days, rumors spread everywhere in the capital!They are all talking about how ignorant of etiquette and domineering Bai Min'er, Miss Sun of the Duke Huguo's Mansion is!She actually asked the second-rank lady in the court to make way for her, and her attitude was extremely arrogant!
This rumor naturally spread to the Houfu.

This day, Haitang was smoking clothes for Jing Yi in the outside room, glanced at the young lady who was leaning on the couch to read a book, and said lightly: "Miss, you don't know how bad things are being said about that Miss Sun of the Duke of the Protector's Mansion." ! What a relief!"

Jingyi kept her eyes on the book in her hand, and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to cause trouble!"

Haitang pouted and stopped talking.On the contrary, Nanny He said: "Miss, it's only been two days, and this rumor is so bizarre. In two more days, it's not sure what it will become?"

Only then did Jing Yi take her eyes away from the book, looked at Nanny He and said, "Rumours stop with the wise! So, from now on, this matter must not be mentioned in our yard again!"

Haitang finally couldn't help but said: "But Miss, those rumors are not all false! She asked Madam to make way for her, it is true!"

Jingyi glanced at her, shook her head and said, "Who do you think spread the rumors? We were shot while lying down!"

"Huh?" Haitang was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

Jingyi ignored her and continued to read books on her own.After a while, someone spread the word that the old man asked Jingyi to go to the study outside.

As soon as Jingyi entered the study, she saw the old man sitting on the main seat, Su Wei sitting on the side, and Su Qing and Su Ming standing on Su Wei's side.Jingyi saw that their faces were all pristine, and she couldn't help but know it.

Jingyi blessed Fushen and said: "Greetings to grandfather, and greetings to father, I have met my two elder brothers."

The old man asked seriously: "Yiyi, what rumors have you heard these two days?"

Jingyi nodded, "I heard that, it means that Bai Min'er is arrogant and domineering!"

Su Wei glanced at the three children, but said: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor ordered our family to enter the palace for a banquet. Yiyi, the emperor specifically mentioned you this time. You must be careful when you enter the palace tomorrow." Be careful! Don’t make the slightest mistake again!”

Jingyi nodded cautiously.She glanced at the still serious old man, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Grandfather, father, that day our carriage turned at a T-junction, and facing that T-junction was a 'Fugui restaurant. ', Yiyi vaguely felt that something was wrong at the time, so she looked up, but all the windows on the second floor were wide open, but no one was seen. Forgive Yiyi for speaking bluntly, I'm afraid this is too much of a coincidence!"

There was a touch of refinement in the old man's eyes, this girl is really delicate!

Su Wei also looked at this seven-year-old daughter in surprise. How could she think of paying attention to this as a child?Could it be that he noticed something?
Su Qing and Su Ming also looked at Jingyi with astonishment on their faces. They were riding on horses at that time, but they didn't pay attention to any restaurants or windows. This sister's thoughts are really delicate!

The old man asked: "Yiyi, let me ask you, why do you think it's too coincidental?"

"Grandfather, the main road was blocked by an overturned carriage, but we chose the nearest alley to cross after we saw the main road was blocked. This arrangement is the most normal. But that Bai Min'er was Coming out of the palace, logically, the road back to Duke Hu's mansion is not the only one, and what is even more puzzling is that the road she took is clearly the farthest way back to Duke Hu's mansion! Could it be that Didn't someone do it on purpose?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Wei couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up abruptly, looked at Jingyi with a serious face, "Yiyi, how did you know that she just came back from the palace?"

Jingyi tilted her head, "Yiyi just saw that among her entourage, there were a few people dressed as palace people, and they were holding some seasonal fruits in their hands, which I think were rewards from the nobles in the palace."

Only then did Su Wei's expression soften a little. He carefully looked at Jingyi's face, saw that her expression was calm, without panic or guilt, and heard what she said just now, in a clear and orderly manner, so he was relieved.

The face of the old man is also full of surprise, if you look closely, you will definitely see that the joy is greater than the surprise!

The old man stroked his beard with his hands and said, "Yiyi, you are really thoughtful and calm!"

Su Wei looked at the old man in surprise, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old man with a wave.

"Qing'er, Ming'er, I will go to the palace for a banquet tomorrow, so you guys should go back and prepare earlier."

"Yes!" The two brothers took a look at Jingyi and retreated.

"Yiyi, come on, tell grandpa, what do you think?"

Jingyi knew that what she said just now must have aroused the interest of the old man!The old man just wants to test how smart he is now!

Jingyi pondered whether to tell all the thoughts in her heart. After all, these things seem simple, but they are hidden murderous intentions. If one step is not careful, she may fall into the abyss!
Jingyi looked at the old man with a serious face: "Grandpa, my granddaughter always thinks that this incident has something to do with Bai Min'er's carriage collision incident last time! I'm afraid it was done on purpose."

Su Wei's face changed, the daughter's thoughts coincided with his own, but he still hadn't figured out what those people wanted to do?Who are you going to deal with?

Thinking of this, Su Wei said lightly: "Yiyi, I'm afraid you're thinking too much. It's just Miss Sun from the Duke Protector's Mansion, and she's a child. If these two incidents were deliberately planned by someone, then he planned it." What is it? Do you want to ruin the reputation of Duke Protector's Mansion just by these two trivial things? You are so stupid!"

The old man raised his eyebrows, but he didn't speak. He just looked at Jingyi, waiting to see what she had to say.

Jingyi didn't think much about it, and said bluntly: "Father, haven't you heard of Qianli dams being destroyed into ant nests? It seems to be a trivial matter, but how many times does it happen? What if it doesn't stop all year round?"

Not many words, but enough to shock the old man and Su Wei!
Both of them looked at Jingyi in disbelief, the surprise this girl gave them was too great!

Su Wei thought for a while, and retorted: "It's just a granddaughter. How can a little girl decide the rise and fall of the Duke Protector's Mansion? If troubles are caused frequently, the worst plan is to be abandoned by the family or imprisoned." That’s it. What big waves can we make?” After speaking, he stared at Jingyi’s face intently.
