Chapter 14 Who Spread the Rumor
"Picking mulberry to pay my respects to my wife."

Mrs. Zheng leaned on the beauty's couch, ate a snack with a snack in her hand: "What's happened to your eldest lady recently?"

Cai Sang lowered her head, carefully said: "Missy is very well-behaved recently, she doesn't go out very much, she just goes to the greenhouse to fetch flowers every day, and asks the servant to send a bouquet to the front yard for the master." After a pause, he continued, "But that day, the young lady and the second young master Cheng met."

Mrs. Zheng sneered and said, "Caimulberry, if I don't come to ask you personally now, you won't be able to say a word."

Cai Sang knelt down when she heard this, and explained tremblingly: "Madam, please forgive me! The eldest lady may have doubts about the servant, and she has been keeping a close eye on the servant recently, and there is really no chance to come to see the lady!"

Although Caisang was terrified, she was also glad that she took the initiative to tell the story of Bai Shuangshuang and Cheng Ruohan's meeting.In this mansion, as expected, nothing is hidden from the Zheng family.

"What did they talk about?"

Cai Sang swallowed, and replied urgently: "That day, the servant stood a little far away, and vaguely heard that the second young master Cheng invited the young lady to attend the birthday party of the old lady of the Cheng family next month, but the young lady seemed to refuse."

Zheng was a little annoyed, thinking that Cheng Ruohan was really unreliable, and threw an olive branch at Bai Shuangshuang so quickly.

Cai Sang saw that Zheng's face was uneasy, and added cautiously: "Ma'am, the slave girl is looking at Liu Chuntao in the greenhouse, always whispering in Missy's ear, is she trying to encourage Missy?"

Mrs. Zheng came back to her senses, stared at Cai Sang, and snorted coldly: "What? You want to use my hand to get rid of Liu Chuntao?"

Cai Sang was really frightened by this, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground tremblingly begging for mercy: "Madam, you misunderstood, this is not what this servant meant, it really happened!"

Mrs. Zheng gave Caisang a disgusted look, then turned her head and asked Dongmei, "Is that Liu Chuntao the granddaughter of Mother Liu?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Zheng pondered for a while. She still didn't believe that Liu Chuntao could pull out any tricks. After all, she was a little girl and didn't have many contacts in the mansion, but that Liu Nanny was different. It is also possible for Chun Tao to advise Bai Shuangshuang.

If he hadn't been concerned about Bai Zhengzhong's attitude back then, Mrs. Zheng would have killed Nanny Liu long ago.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng became a little irritable, and told Dongmei: "Look for Lao Ma to send some people to check. Where does Nanny Liu live for the elderly? Watch her closely."

"Yes, ma'am."

When all the flowers and plants in Qinyuan's yard were refurbished, the winter snow had all melted, and the weather was gradually warming up. The White Mansion has been safe and sound, and everything seems to be calm.What Bai Mingzhu promised seemed to be fulfilled, Zheng Shi really treated Bai Shuangshuang much better, and stopped making trouble for her, and just let her concentrate on recuperating.

For this, Bai Zhengzhong seemed to be very satisfied.

"Do you know where those rumors came from?"

After pulling away the mulberry picking, Bai Shuangshuang and Chun Tao were chatting quietly with the door closed.

"It is said that the doctor who treated you spread the word."

Bai Shuangshuang smiled and shook her head: "Think about it, let's not say that those doctors are invited by the Zheng family and don't talk nonsense. Even if it really spread, how could it spread to the streets overnight?"

After Bai Shuangshuang set the fire back then, it was true that Liu Cheng and his daughter spread the news about her saving the memorial tablet by setting fire to it, so as to bring out the news that she was tortured by the Zheng family in the mansion, but it was only to give Bai Zhengzhong and those colleagues According to the officials who came, she didn't expect that this matter would spread. After all, with Liu Cheng and his daughter alone, it would take more than a month, no matter how fast.Besides, the Zheng family is big, so it's not difficult to suppress it.But now, this rumor seems to be somewhat uncontrollable.

Bai Shuangshuang unconsciously bit her lip and thought about it, who is manipulating the rumors?Does the person who spread the rumors know the details of the fire?

"Chuntao, have you found out about that doctor Wang?"

"Hmm." Chuntao sat on the small brocade stool, with a pair of embroidered shoes she was receiving on her knees: "Although the master said he invited them, the path in the front yard said that Lord Jue actually invited them."

"Prince Jue?" Bai Shuangshuang quickly searched the memory of the Fifth Prince in his previous life.

Prince Jue is the title of the fifth prince Li Yuanbo. He is the fifth son of the current emperor. Although his mother Qiu is one of the four concubines, her family background is not high, so she does not have a strong relative. After the death of Concubine Qiu Xian, The current emperor's attitude towards him is also somewhat ambiguous, whether he supports it or not, but he is not indifferent, and even rewarded him with a title.In addition, Li Yuanbo's childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the Hua family, turned out to be the noble concubine of the dynasty. This was not a small blow to him.Of course, this is all news from the previous life.

In her impression, Li Yuanbo, the fifth prince in the previous life, seemed to be the loser in the court battle in the end, and was executed after the crown prince ascended the throne.

Bai Shuangshuang thought about the influence of the rumors during this period of time, and wondered if it was really as the rumors said, it was the doctor Wang who came to see Bai Shuangshuang who said it?So it is the fifth prince who drives the speed of rumors?
Then why did the Fifth Prince spread the rumors?She has never met the Fifth Prince, so it must not be to help her, right?
Here Bai Shuangshuang was suspicious, Chuntao took a few injections as if thinking of something, then stopped and said, "When you saved the tablet that day, Lord Jue was also present."

"is it?"

Chun Tao said while recalling: "Miss, you asked me to watch the reactions of the people present. The prince seemed to have said something, as if to say... I didn't expect such an interesting woman to come out of the Bai family."

"..." Bai Shuangshuang recalled this sentence for a while, and felt that the word "interesting" was a bit strange.

It's a pity that Bai Shuangshuang had never had contact with this Lord Jue in his previous life, so he didn't know what kind of person he was, nor could he guess his thoughts.

She was wondering if this Prince Jue had some unknown enmity with the Bai family, and when he smeared Bai Zhengzhong, he helped herself by the way.But these news, based on the contacts of Liu Cheng's father and daughter, it is estimated that it is impossible to inquire about them.

"Alas..." Bai Shuangshuang once again felt so helpless that no one was available.I feel even more that the situation in this new life seems to have changed slightly, but I can't say what changes, let alone control it.

"What's the matter? Missy?"

Bai Shuangshuang leaned back on the chair without sitting down: "I'm thinking about going to Cheng's house to attend Mrs. Cheng's birthday banquet."

Chuntao laughed and pulled Bai Shuangshuang up to sit down: "Didn't you say that Second Young Master Cheng would handle this matter? What are you still worried about?"

Yeah, what is she worried about?
After her first rebirth, except for two people, she could pretend to be a snake to everyone, and old lady Cheng was one of them.When the time comes to see Mrs. Cheng, she really doesn't know how to behave.

Not only Bai Shuangshuang, but also Zheng's were also thinking about the Cheng family's birthday banquet.God knows how ugly her face was when she saw the invitation card written by Mrs. Cheng herself.

The status of the Cheng family among the rich and powerful should not be underestimated. If Bai Shuangshuang showed her face on such a grand occasion, then Bai Shuangshuang's status as the eldest lady of the Bai family would be truly irreversible, and everything that the Zheng family had done before would be irreversible. You have to pay for it.

"Master, do you think what I said makes sense?" Zheng Shi virtuously rubbed Bai Zhengzhong's shoulders leaning on him, and said in a soft voice: "Why don't we let her wait until Shuangshuang's health is better? Let's go out."

Bai Zhengzhong's life has been going smoothly recently, Bai Shuangshuang's matter has brought him a lot of praise, and his promotion has also taken shape, and he has always been in a good mood.

But as soon as Mrs. Zheng said this, he couldn't help frowning: "I heard that Mrs. Cheng personally wrote the invitation card, didn't you see it?"

"...I saw it, so I was thinking whether to consider Shuangshuang's body or not, so I had no choice but to say no to Mrs. Cheng."

"Hmph!" Bai Zhengzhong snorted coldly, walked away from Mrs. Zheng, and turned to point at her: "Stop messing around with me, what is the identity of Mrs. Cheng? She wrote the invitation herself, and you can ask the capital here. How many people in the city dare to refuse?"

Zheng was displeased, but she still made an aggrieved look and said: "I'm not worried about Shuangshuang, she is so weak, what should I say if she is tired after this trip?"

"That's her honor!" Bai Zhengzhong stood up and straightened his clothes, "It just so happened that if Shuangshuang wanted to attend Mrs. Cheng's birthday banquet, she fell ill again after returning. It would be a good story to spread the word." Another glance at the gardenia standing in the vase in front of the window: "Shuangshuang is filial to you, and your performance has improved a lot recently. Don't always try to embarrass her, you don't look like a housewife at all." .After all, people outside are watching."

... "What the master said is true." A few words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
