Chapter 252: Take Action, Rumors Start From All Directions
"Let's go back!" Qin Wanru said after seeing Qi Tianyu and Qi Baiyu leaving.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and it seemed that she had successfully aroused Qi Tianyu's attention. With Qi Rongzhi's temperament, Qi Tianyu might not take her words to heart, but now he saw the secret of Xingguo Duke's mansion in his father's place. The case file must have piqued his interest.
When Qi Tianyu was deep in thought, he would often stop and flick his sleeves. This habit might be just a subconscious move on his part, but Qin Wanru could see it clearly.
If he didn't have any ideas, Qi Tianyu wouldn't have stopped and started thinking as soon as he left Qin Huaiyong's yard!
The case file of Duke Xingguo's office was specially sent to his father's desk to make Qi Tianyu take the matter seriously and help Qi Rongzhi steal the identity of this adopted daughter.
Qi Rongzhi wanted to seize the identity of this adopted daughter, which was extremely sad, but Qi Tianyu's actions were different. She only made some guesses about some things. In the last life, she had been bored in the backyard, and even though she later entered the palace because of painting, I have been stuck in the house, rarely going out, and can't find out anything.
Besides, some memories have been blurry since her rebirth.
If his guess is true, I am afraid that there will be someone behind Qi Tianyu at this time, otherwise Qi Tianyu will not be able to disturb a pool of muddy water.
Sure enough, in the next few days, there were more and more rumors outside, not only about Di and Qin Yuru, but also about Qin Wanru.
There are even rumors that Qin Wanru is not Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, but that she is the posthumous daughter of a deputy general. They also say that someone can prove that although the deputy general died at the time, his wife is now looking for this girl. .
When this word first spread, everyone thought it was a joke, just because of the rumors about General Ning Yuan’s vicious wife and eldest daughter. However, within a few days, the rumors became more and more true, and even the rumors about General Ning Yuan’s vicious wife and eldest daughter became more and more true. Rumors about his family were also suppressed.
Others said that they saw this lady with their own eyes. She was also the widow of a soldier. She was on her way to the capital. It was said that she found Jiangzhou and went to General Ningyuan's house, but General Ningyuan's house was empty. , upon hearing that General Ning Yuan had arrived in Beijing, this lady came to the capital.
This matter was passed on by several traveling businessmen, and the news spread through noses and eyes.
Many people have not forgotten the rebellion a few years ago. Many people died at that time. At one point, the rebels even became more powerful. Some cities were destroyed one after another. Many people died in the war, including many. Some officials, such as lieutenants, were appointed in critical situations and went into battle without even having time to undergo examinations. In the end, they only left a name when they died.
It is extremely difficult to find out!
Qin Huaiyong was only a lieutenant in that rebellion, but he stood out in the end. On the one hand, it was because he was indeed excellent, and on the other hand, because his chief general and some lieutenants were all dead at the time, leaving him alone. A high-ranking military general.
Qin Wanru's life experience was originally erratic, and many people found it unbelievable. However, because of the background of this rebellion, and the repeated affirmation of others, the more rumors spread, the more people believed it to be true, and more and more versions were spread. stand up.
Some people say that Qin Wanru is an orphan. Her father is an ordinary soldier in the army, and her mother is a washerwoman in the army. Both her parents are dead. It was Qin Huaiyong who took her in because he felt pity for her.
Others say that Qin Wanru's father was also a famous general. Before his death, he entrusted Qin Wanru to Qin Huaiyong. After that, he went to the battlefield and never returned. Her mother was also lost in the war at that time.
Some people also say that Qin Wanru is a young lady from a certain family in Beijing. A certain family is currently looking for this young lady, but the identity cannot be determined at the moment, so they want to recognize the young lady as an adopted daughter...
There are various rumors, and everyone feels that they don't know which one is true, but no matter what, one thing is certain that Qin Wanru is not the biological daughter of General Ning Yuan, otherwise it would not be possible to attract so many rumors.
Moreover, there are rumors from insiders that there is indeed no biological mother of Miss Ning Er in General Ningyuan's mansion. One of General Ningyuan's two wives is the vicious Di family who wants to kill Miss Qin Er. Torma, of course this cannot be the biological mother.
As for the other one, she was the wife Qin Huaiyong married in order to take care of Miss Qin Er. Of course, she couldn't be the child's biological mother.
And there is another servant girl who used to work in General Ningyuan's Mansion in Jiangzhou, and now she has moved to the capital. She has repeatedly stated that all of Qin Huaiyong's concubines are here, and Miss Qin Er cannot be born to a dead concubine. He also said that Miss Qin was already a child when she appeared in the Qin Mansion, and she did not grow up in the Qin Mansion...
What this servant woman said is the most true. It is said that someone went to check and found that she was indeed a servant of General Ningyuan's Mansion in Jiangzhou. She came to the capital for some reason and caught up with this topic.
Of course, others believed this, but Qin Wanru didn't believe it. How could a servant girl travel all the way to the capital, and just happen to catch up with the current wave of rumors? As soon as she heard this rumor, she knew that this person was released by Qi Tianyu.
Of course, some of these rumors were spread by Qin Wanru herself. This was the effect she wanted. It was hard to tell the difference between true and false, false and true!
These things spread to Duke Xingguo's mansion and to the ears of Duke Xingguo. At first, Lady Xingguo didn't pay attention to it, but then as the rumors became more and more, and they became more and more mysterious, Duke Xingguo and Mrs. After thinking about it in her room, she was so angry that she kicked over her desk. Things changed so fast that she couldn't cope with it at all.
"Madam, please calm down." Aunt Sheng immediately put aside the screen and advised in a low voice. She had never seen Mrs. Xingguo so angry that she lost her composure, whether in front of others or behind others. Mrs. Xingguo Gong has always been a dignified and decent lady.
When would you do something so rude and disrespectful?
"Where did all this news come from?" Mrs. Xingguo asked with a sneer.
"Old slave can't find it. It seems that overnight, many people are talking about this Miss Qin. But because everyone was paying attention to the Qin Mansion before, it is not unexpected to talk about this Miss Qin. Originally, The second Miss Qin is the one General Ningyuan’s wife Di wants to plot against, and there is also the testimony of Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi.”
Grandma Xing said cautiously.
Princess Xingguo lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head: "Is there any evidence to prove that it was done by General Ningyuan's Mansion?"
"This...cannot prove that all the rumors about Madam are not good for General Ningyuan's mansion. If Miss Qin is not General Ningyuan's biological daughter, her status is far inferior to that of his biological daughter. Since General Ningyuan has kept this secret for so many years, He must be planning to raise Miss Qin Er as his biological daughter, and will not take the initiative to expose her!"
Aunt Sheng said in confusion.
"It can't be that bitch Di who ruined my good deeds!" Mrs. Xingguo was so angry that she said coldly.
"It shouldn't be the case. Isn't Mrs. Di locked up now? Even if she wants to stir up trouble, she can't." Sister Sheng said.
"She is the only one who can benefit from talking about this matter. She may want to drive Qin Wanru away from General Ningyuan's mansion and find an explanation for her previous behavior! What an idiot!" Mrs. Xingguo Gong said coldly She cursed loudly, although she knew that Di's possibility was unlikely, but the fire in her heart was rushing up and down, and she couldn't find a place to vent it, and a breath of bad breath was sprayed on Di's body.
"Have you found those people?"
"The old slave asked people to keep an eye on General Ning Yuan's actions, and discovered that the steward of the house secretly brought a few people back a few days ago, and they haven't come out yet!"
Aunt Sheng said fawningly.
Although they did not get Di's letter before, based on the actions of General Ningyuan's Mansion, they still found those people. But now these people have entered General Ningyuan's Mansion. No matter how long Mrs. Xingguo's hands are, she will not be able to find them now. He couldn't reach into General Ningyuan's mansion.
"What a useless fool, what have you been doing? You said you had to wait for the most suitable opportunity to let these people take action to defeat the Shui family's reputation. Now it's better, even the people are gone. With Qin Huaiyong's methods, these few people It’s impossible for an individual to speak out about Shui’s faults, no wonder he’s been locked up now, it’s really useless!”
Mrs. Xingguo sneered.
"Mrs. Di is indeed a bit stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have..." Aunt Sheng pointedly said.
She didn't finish what she said, but Mrs. Xingguo understood it. She kept sneering on her face, but she didn't say any more. After thinking about it, her words changed: "Where did the most mysterious sentence come from? of?"
"Which sentence?" Aunt Sheng had just told Duke Xingguo everything about the rumors outside, but the topic changed so quickly that she couldn't change it for a while, so she asked subconsciously.
After asking, I realized something was wrong. He lowered his head and said in a panic: "This... this old slave doesn't know, but in the end, I asked someone to check it out, but like all the rumors, I don't know where they came from. It has been reported, but one thing this old slave can prove is that this matter has nothing to do with General Ningyuan’s Mansion, it cannot be spread by someone in General Ningyuan’s Mansion!”
After saying this, Mrs. Xingguo was silent for a while, and her face became colder and colder. She thought about it and was about to speak, but suddenly she heard a maid outside shouting loudly: "Mr. Guo!"
"Kuo Gong Ye" "Kuo Gong Ye" "Kuo Gong Ye"
Then there were more calls for greetings from the servants. Mrs. Xingguo glanced at Aunt Sheng. Aunt Sheng understood and hurriedly walked to the door, opened the slightly closed door, and raised the curtain slightly.
As soon as I mentioned it, I saw the chubby Xingguo Gong walking in with his hands behind his back, a serious look on his face.
"Master Guo!" After he came in, Aunt Sheng put down the curtain in her hand and saluted Duke Xingguo. Duke Xingguo ignored her and strode in. He sat down on the chair next to Mrs. Xingguo Gong and looked at her face. The seriousness on his face turned into a gloomy look, which was completely different from what he looked like in front of others.
Others only know that Duke Xingguo is a kind and fat man. He looks kind and gentle to everyone. He seems to have a good temper. He and Duke Xingguo's wife are dignified and decent. They can be said to be a model pair in the family. They can be regarded as a pair. For a couple with a good reputation.
But now they all have gloomy faces.
Duke Xingguo waved his hand, and Grandma Sheng retreated silently. She carefully closed the door for them and took two steps back to guard the door.
The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, so quiet that Duke Xingguo and his wife were a little out of breath. She moved before she wanted to speak, but she saw Duke Xingguo's eyes turned coldly: "Stop that matter!"
