Chapter 128: Consolation

When she returned to the mansion, Chu Xinyu did not go to Anshantang. Because at this time, Old Mrs. Chu was having lunch break, she went back to Xiaozhuyuan directly, and without saying a word, she plunged into the study.

Zhubo saw the girl with a tense face for the first time and couldn't help but wonder who made the girl unhappy, and asked Lan Yi, "What's wrong with her girl?"

Lan Yi shrugged, "I don't know either. Maybe she was angry with the Marquis of Peking."

"Marquis of Beiping?" Zhu Bo frowned, remembering the rumors he heard today, and looked at the study worriedly. If the girl knew about it, would she be even more angry?

"What's wrong?" Lan Yi saw that Zhu Bo seemed to be hiding something.

"Today, Danqing and I heard some maids talking outside the yard, saying that there were rumors outside that our girl snatched love and snatched Miss Fu Er's marriage, saying that the Marquis of Peking and Miss Fu Er's childhood sweethearts were already in love, and both parents have agreed that because of a competition, Miss Fu Er's marriage has been lost."

"Who told me?" Lan Yi frowned. No wonder when she entered the mansion just now, she saw some maids watching them whispering to each other. At that time, the girl was frowned and obviously didn't notice, but she thought it was a girl with a dark face, which made the maids curious about how the girl came back with a tight face. Now, when she thought about it, maybe they thought the girl heard rumors outside.

"I don't know, anyway, the spread outside is in full swing, and many people are standing on the side of Miss Fu Er." Zhubo thought for a while and said, "Do you think it was Miss Fu Er's propaganda? She was unwilling to let our girl win her. Not only did she win the best prize, the emperor also gave her a marriage, and even gave her two wishes. It seems that all the benefits were taken to the girl."

Lan Yi was silent, remembering that Miss Fu Er matched Princess Jing'an to provoke the girl today. She must be dissatisfied with the girl being given a marriage to the Marquis of Peking by the emperor. On the surface, she was friendly to the girl and Xi, but she secretly stumbling in private. Now the rumors outside may be spread by her.

But it would not be of any benefit to her as she spread it like this. No matter whether such rumors would affect the girl’s marriage to the Marquis of Peking, her reputation was bad, and it would not be good to her?

In the study, Chu Xinyu took out rice paper and pen and ink, thinking about seeing the middle-aged man today, he drew on the paper. Soon, a portrait was presented.

She asked Lan Yi to come in and hand the portrait to her and said, "You go to Zuixianglou and give the portrait to Shao Sanniang, and ask her to find out where this person lives now, who is, what background, the more detailed the better."

Lan Yi looked at the portrait and felt familiar. A picture flashed through her mind. By the way, when the carriage drove past a jade shop on the street today, the man with a scar on his face walked out of the shop.

How could the girl check this person? She was confused, but she didn't ask, rolled up the picture and said, "When the girl was having a meal, Shao Sanniang happened to come back from the tavern. She said that what you ordered had been arranged long ago and the person had been put in."

Chu Xinyu nodded, "Just make arrangements."

Lan Yi looked at her, wanting to speak but stopping, "Girl..."

"What do you want to say?"

"Zhu Bo said there were rumors outside that you stole Miss Fu Er's marriage, and most of them stood by Miss Fu Er's side to sympathize with her and slander you."

Chu Xinyu chuckled and said distractedly: "Let them spread it, let's not worry about it. The more you think about suppressing such a thing, the more people will add fuel to the fire and cause trouble. This is not a cheaper person to spread rumors, let alone there is no such thing. If I care about it, it will prove my guilt."

Lan Yi was not as relaxed as she said, and said worriedly: "What do you mean by scattering rumors? If this rumor is unclear, it will not be good for the girl's reputation."

The girl's reputation has just recovered. Now that this is the case, I am afraid that someone will be given a sword to take away the name of love.

Chu Xinyu said, "No matter what the other party intends, this rumor is obviously a rumor that is a rumor that is obviously a rumor that is a man who hates me or Miss Fu Er. It may also be the bad peach blossoms of the Marquis of Peking. No matter which one, I don't care, and there will naturally be someone to deal with it."

Since the girl was not worried, Lan Yi no longer had any worries. The girl was openly winning the recognition of the Marquis of Peking and the Emperor, so that she would give her marriage. As long as the emperor recognized it, how others said and spread it, it would be just a clown, and the rumors would eventually be broken.

Lan Yi took the portrait and went out. Chu Xinyu sat in front of the dressing table to remove makeup. Zi Ling combed her hair behind her. Chu Xinyu thought about something and said, "I will think of a way to let her leave for your sister-in-law. You don't have to be controlled by others. As for her job, if she wants to work and make money to reduce your burden, I will also find a way to find her a job."

"Thank you girl!" Zi Ling thanked happily. She had been uneasy because of her sister-in-law. Now that the girl knew about her, she was willing to help, she finally let go of the big rocks in her heart.

"Does she ask you to do anything?"

"Bingyan has come to me and asked where you went today. I'll tell you the truth as you told me."

"Well, she's looking for you in the future, do you know how to deal with her?"

"Don't worry, this girl, I will do what you said."

Chu Xinyu nodded with satisfaction. She washed her face and saw that the bruises on her face faded a lot again in the bronze mirror. The snow cream given to her by Lin Chenyao last night was effective.

Thinking of something, she asked Zi Ling to bring her a light-colored and elegant dress, combed her with a dangling bun, and then asked Zhu Bo to check out some skin-enhancing supplements.

"Miss, are you going to give gifts?" Zhu Bo asked curiously.

"Go and see the second sister. I haven't seen her because she was injured." Although I gave her ointment, I never visited her in person. This is unreasonable. Moreover, her second sister, although she was not close to her in the past, she never rejected her.

When I saw that I was going to see the second girl, Zhu Bo immediately went to prepare.

Chu Jiayi lives in the small yard of Langyuexuan. It was a distance from building the courtyard. Chu Xinyu took Zi Ling over. As soon as they passed by the garden, they saw a young man with a thin body, a straight body inlaid with indigo cyan, a blue belt inlaid with rubies, a white jade crown, and handsome eyebrows.

When Zi Ling saw him, she bowed, "Sixth Young Master."

It turned out that it was born by Yuan and was the sixth son of Chu Zhiyi, who was born with Chu Jiating. He heard that he went to Longshan Academy to study and was taken under the sect of Grand Tutor Cui, who was the presiding director of Longshan Academy and is currently the Imperial College Priest, and is his disciple.

She had been back for so many days and had met him in the mansion for the first time because he usually lived in Longshan Academy. Seeing that his face was gloomy, he must have come for him.

Chu Xinyuyang smiled and said, "Sixth brother, I haven't seen each other for two years, I've grown taller."

Chu Zhiyi ignored her smile and asked, "Is it you who designed to frame my mother and be seized from the family?"

Chu Xinyu raised his eyebrows lightly. He hadn't seen him for two years, but this younger brother was still arrogant. He used to be like this. He never treated Yu'er, which shows how disrespectful he is to her, the legitimate sister.

"Who did you hear me design your mother? You can ask others, I was still praising her in front of my grandmother, saying that the sixth sister, eighth sister and sixth brother she taught were good children who are knowledgeable and polite."

She said this clearly enough, but unfortunately Chu Zhiyi didn't care what she said. She just wanted to know if her mother was framed by her. Seeing that she refused to admit it, she sneered: "Just say yes or not, why bother with him? Is my mother not good to you enough? How could she be harsh on you? Your food, accommodation and use are the same as us. Even if you did something wrong, did your mother protect you that time? If you can go home, it's because your mother pity you and will take you back, but you will repay your kindness with grudges?"

Chu Xinyu looked at him and said coldly: "Sixth brother, you asked me as soon as you come back, do you take me, my legitimate sister seriously? Before you even figured out the matter, you came to find someone to argue. I doubt where you have read the sage books you have read over the years?"

Chu Zhiyi's eyes were a little deeper, but he didn't expect that she would not please him. He questioned him with confidence that he did not respect her. He was the same as before, and she had never said such words.

The sixth sister said that she has changed now and is eloquent, no longer the Amon who believed whatever they said before. When he didn't see her, he scoffed at his sister's words. Now when he saw her, his sister said right, she has changed and dared to contradict him.

Chu Xinyu was too lazy to worry about this topic with him, so he said: "If the sixth brother still doesn't know how to respect the elders and does not understand etiquette, the legitimate sister recommends that you go back and read the sages and ask me again. The legitimate sister has something to do now, so I won't be with her."

After saying that, he ignored how ugly his face was and walked forward.

Zi Ling held the gift box and quickly followed Chu Xinyu, whispering behind her: "The sixth young man always looks tall and arrogant. Seeing that we servants are also facing the sky, I didn't expect that he would be so disrespectful to you."

She thought that the fourth girl would be so disrespectful, but she didn't expect that the sixth prince, who has always been known as a talented man, had a real side in private, without any politeness.

Outside, he had a good reputation for the Sixth Prince, a humble and talented man. With an article "Fu Xue Ci", he was an exception and accepted by Grand Tutor Cui as his disciple, allowing him to study in Longshan Academy.

Chu Xinyu sneered: "I thought he should have grown up in more than two years, but I didn't expect that he still didn't improve. I thought that his father had only one legitimate son and his title was his. If he had the same moral character as him, he would be defeated."

It would be great if the second brother was still there. His closest blood relationship with Yu'er, so what if Yuan had a son? He had already been appointed as the crown prince by his grandfather, if it weren't for his disappearance later...

Thinking of this, she didn't expect that the long-lived lamp in the Longhua Temple lighthouse was turned off for so long, but it didn't go out. Is it possible that he was not dead at all?

I heard that his body was not found back then, but only his shoes fell on the edge of the cliff and there were blood stains. I searched under the cliff, but I couldn't find them. Everyone thought that he might have been eaten by wild animals, and there was a lot of danger.

Maybe she should find someone to check it out, what happened back then?

Lang Yuexuan and the third wife were very happy to see Chu Xinyu coming. She pulled her to talk for a while, all about Chu Jiayi. They originally planned to hide the fact that the Mo family broke up with an engagement, but there was a maid who accidentally let her say something missed. When she heard it, she kept feeling depressed and didn't even eat today.

When the third wife saw Chu Xinyu coming, she was like seeing a savior and told her to persuade Chu Jiayi. She was afraid that she would do stupid things or think of going aside.

Chu Xinyu walked into the small yard where Chu Jiayi lived. Although it was not big, it was clean and tidy, and there were not many flowers and plants planted. There were a few pots of azaleas in the yard as embellishments, and the place was not wet. She was curious, how could there be reptiles?

She didn't expect that Chu Jiayi's place would be so simple, not like the place where the daughter of the Hou Mansion lived, and it was not even as good as her small courtyard.

When she entered the inner room, a smell of medicine came to her face. Chu Jiayi was lying on the couch. Her maid was holding a bowl of soup for her to drink, but she only took a sip and felt the bitterness and pushed it away.

"Girl, Miss Five is here to see you." The little maid lifted up the pearl curtain and said to the person on the couch.

Chu Jiayi turned around and saw Chu Xinyu. She hurriedly asked the maid to set up a seat for her, and then said, "Fifth sister, thank you for coming to see me."

"On the day you had an accident, my mother called me to Longhua Temple. I didn't have time to see you when I came back. Didn't you blame me?" Chu Xinyu sat down and held her hand and said.

Chu Jiayi shook her head and said with red eyes: "How could I blame you? If you hadn't sent me ointment, the wound on my face wouldn't have healed so quickly."

As she said that, she gently stroked the cheeks that were stuck on the gauze and applied the ointment given by Chu Xinyu. Now it has scabbed. The doctor said that the scab will fall off in two days, and if she continues to apply it for about ten days, her face will return to the same as before.

Chu Xinyu looked at her, "I see that your yard is clean and refreshing, how could there be reptiles?"

Chu Jiayi said: "My yard has no insects in summer, and I don't know why. I didn't sleep very peacefully that night. I felt something crawling on my face in a daze. I instinctively brushed it. I didn't feel anything at that time. I thought I had brushed it away. But when dawn approached, I felt itchy on my face, so I scratched it a few times with my hands. The more I scratched it, the more painful it became, and it was bleeding. I got up, lighted the light and looked at the bronze mirror, and realized that I was scratching my face."

Chu Xinyu asked her about her situation, such as whether she was used to being at the bedside or putting some pastries, so that she could get up to eat when she was hungry at night.

Chu Jiayi shook her head, "After dinner, I rarely eat, and I always eat with my mother's side, and rarely eat in my own room."

Seeing that nothing had been asked, Chu Xinyu didn't ask any more. She asked Zi Ling to bring the gifts and handed her one of the wax-sealed incense boxes and said, "When it's night, you ask the maid to put the incense in the incense burner, and the reptiles dare not come in. Just put a little bit every day, don't let too much, a box can last for more than half a year."

This is the deworming incense made by Lan Yi. When she was in Puling Temple, many insects flew in at night. Later, Lan Yi adjusted this incense, so snakes, insects, rats and ants dared not approach it.

Chu Jiayi took it and thanked her with red eyes. She and Chu Xinyu had no interaction, but she didn't expect that something happened to her, and it was her who helped her.
