Chapter 256 Rumor
Around midnight (three o'clock in the morning), the sound of the piano in the yard next door stopped. Cen Xiyan, who was sitting in the bathtub, opened his eyes, got out of the bathtub, slowly dried himself, put on his middle coat, and lay back
On the bed.
This time, she let her mind go and stopped thinking, and soon she fell asleep.
When he got up during the day, Cen Xiyan didn't leave the small building all day long. He kept writing silently in his room the internal skills and mental methods for Cen Xiqin.
When Cen Xiqin came for dinner in the morning, she told Cen Xiyan a lot of gossip.
Cen Xiqin expressed her joy at Cen Xifen's punishment, and also briefly talked about the reactions of various courtyards in the mansion. Of course, most of them were just discussions behind the servants' backs. She did not know the real private reactions of the masters of each courtyard.
What the detectives heard could only make some guesses.
"This time, some people should calm down and not dare to provoke you, Sixth Sister!" Cen Xiqin smiled at Cen Xiyan.
"Maybe." Cen Xiyan replied lightly.
Because Cen Xifen's lesson this time has completely made those people remember it, and it is impossible not to cause trouble for her from now on, but it should be calmed down in the near future.
"Alas..." Cen Xiqin sighed and said depressedly: "The incident about the leopard has been spread in the capital. Now that it's over, I don't even dare to go out..."
That's right, "Cen Xiqin", the seventh daughter of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, hunted a spotted leopard in the royal hunting ground and saved the little princess of Prince Lu's Mansion. This matter has almost spread throughout the capital in the past two days!
There were many guards, maids, and soldiers from the royal hunting grounds present that day. Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen did not order the matter to be kept quiet, so the matter naturally spread.
Moreover, Prince Lu's Mansion didn't seem to care about letting people know that Prince Lu's Mansion owed a favor to Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, so this matter spread very quickly in the capital.
As for Cai Ruyu's murder of Jin Fang in order to survive, the Jin family did not allow it to be spread widely, out of consideration for the kinship with the Cai family. However, it is inevitable that the Cai family has been ignored by Prince Lu's Palace since then, and even
It was said that it was irreversible. The head of the Cai family went to Prince Lu's Mansion every day for the past two days to ask for an audience with Prince Lu and Princess Hua Qi, but he was turned away every time.
The attitude of Prince Lu's Mansion towards the Cai family naturally aroused a lot of suspicion. After some people deliberately inquired, some insiders were discovered. Suddenly, the reputation of the Cai family, which was already in decline, was even worse.
After a sudden decline, almost no one in the high-ranking aristocratic circle in the capital was willing to associate with him anymore.
Cai Ruyu suffered a lot of complaints and accusations in the Cai family. From the beloved daughter of the Cai family, her status suddenly dropped to the most disliked Miss Cai family. Even her biological mother didn't have a good look towards her.
Already.
Cai Ruyu felt sad and resentful in her heart. She didn't understand what was wrong with her! When faced with a life-threatening situation, who wouldn't want to survive? If someone were in her situation at that time, who could guarantee that he wouldn't want her to do that?
!Why are you accusing her now! Why!!!
Of course, others cannot hear the sadness, unwillingness, and anger in Cai Ruyu's heart.
Cen Xiqin complained to Cen Xiyan for a while. She said: "Sixth sister, what should I do? I can't go out to play these days. I have to wait for the wind to pass. It will be very boring at home...
"
After saying this, Cen Xiqin looked at Cen Xiyan with bright and hopeful eyes.
Cen Xiyan couldn't see her little thoughts. He was very funny in his heart, but he deliberately asked: "Why can't we go out to play?"
Cen Xiqin rolled her eyes at Cen Xiyan, "I don't want to be chased and intercepted when I go out! Or look at me with that weird, strange look! Or ask endless questions about the royal hunting ground!"
"Don't worry, I won't bore you while I'm at home." Cen Xiyan finally stopped whittling away Cen Xiqin's appetite and said, "Come and get what you want during dinner."
Cen Xiqin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sixth sister, are you serious?"
"Well, really." Cen Xiyan smiled and nodded.
Cen Xiqin was afraid of disturbing Cen Xiyan's silent writing, so he hurriedly left Jinglan Pavilion after breakfast.
However, she was in a state of excitement all day long, running around the house and running around the yard. She was always inexplicably silly and happy, which made the maids and mother-in-law around her a little confused.
Finally, it was almost dinner time, and Cen Xiqin couldn't wait to run to Jinglan Pavilion.
Seeing Cen Xiqin coming over, Yingxue had the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Miss Qi, dinner will have to wait a while. There are two dishes that are still simmering in the pot and they are not cooked enough."
"No hurry, no hurry, Sixth Sister, is she upstairs?" As Cen Xiqin spoke, he stretched his neck and looked towards the stairs.
"Ah? Oh, yes." Yingxue looked at Cen Xiqin with a bit of surprise in her eyes. Didn't Miss Six come here in a hurry to have dinner today?
"I'm going up to see Sixth Sister." Cen Xiqin didn't notice Yingxue's eyes and hurried upstairs with a "miso miso" sound.
"Tell me, Miss Seven, what's wrong with her?" Yingxue looked at Xiang Jingshuang and asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Jingshuang shook her head, also a little confused.
When Cen Xiqin went upstairs, Cen Xiyan happened to make the last stroke. Her ears were so good that she had already heard the voices downstairs. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head. This Cen Xiqin was really impatient.
"Sixth sister, sixth sister, I'm coming, I'm coming." Cen Xiqin shouted from outside before entering the room.
"Come in." Cen Xiyan said with a smile.
"Come in! Come in!" Little Amy was joking from the side.
Cen Xiqin entered the room, glanced at the booklet on the table, and said, "Sixth sister hasn't finished writing yet? There's no rush, I'm not in a hurry..."
Isn’t this called a lack of urgency? It’s too obvious to be duplicitous!
Cen Xiyan picked up the brochure on the table and handed it to Cen Xiqin, "Here, it's what you want."
Cen Xiqin's eyes suddenly brightened up in a frightening way. She reached out and carefully took the booklet handed over by Cen Xiyan, "Sixth Sister, you...have really finished writing it!"
"Hmm." Cen Xiyan lowered his head to collect the pen and ink and said, "But the ink at the back has not dried yet, so be careful when rubbing the ink on your hands."
Cen Xiqin's attention was all on the booklet in her hand, and she didn't hear clearly what Cen Xiyan said. However, she was very careful when holding the book, so she didn't let the ink stain her hands.
"Hey, Sixth Sister, your handwriting is pretty good." Cen Xiqin praised while looking greedily at the handwriting on the book.
Cen Xiqin just boasted casually, and of course Cen Xiyan noticed it and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.
Chapter completed!
