Chapter 34 Rumors everywhere
After Murong Shan left, Murong Xun sat back again. There was not much intention that Murong Shan would help her. After all, people are always servile. Their mother and daughter have been watching the face of the first lady Shangguan for so many years. If they want to oppose her all of a sudden, they need courage. However, she was very sure that she would never tell the eldest lady what she said today, because Murong Shan came to see her as soon as she came back. It has been explained that Murong Shan also did not trust the eldest lady.
Yingge came back and reported, "Something did happen on the way back from Miss Third. On the way, she met a mountain thief. According to the servant who served Miss Third, the situation was very critical at that time. Fortunately, General Shen Xiaoyi arrived in time and rescued Miss San, and it was also escorted back by General Shen all the way. Yes!"
Murong Xun smiled gently, and his index finger gently turned around the mouth of the cup. His eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In a short time, a little maid came to talk about Shangguan Zixuan's visit.
Murong Xun quickly asked someone to invite him in. Since his house moved back to the Prime Minister's house, he had not met him.
Shangguan Zixuan came with the sun. He was wearing a beige gown, a green jade belt, and black soft boots. He was always as warm as jade, like an orchid, with a faint noble spirit.
Shangguan Zixuan had a light smile on the corners of his mouth, and his amber eyes were also slowly warm, "Miss Murong!"
Murong Xun quickly invited Shangguan Zixuan to take his seat, "How can you come to see me today!"
Shangguan Zixuan looked at Murong Xun worriedly and said, "I heard that everything happened when you went to the White Horse Temple yesterday, so let's see what happened to you!"
Murong Xun smiled faintly, raised his arms and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Shangguan Zixuan looked at Murong Xun and his eyes flashed as if he wanted to say something ordinary, "Is it the King of Qin who saved you?"
"Is the news coming so fast?" Murong Xun smiled gently and raised his eyebrows to ask.
Shangguan Zixuan squeezed his lips and frowned briskly. He looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. After a while, he looked at Murong Xun and whispered, "There are some rumors about you and the King of Qin..."
"That's right, how ugly it is!" A sudden voice sounded from behind.
It's not surprising that Murong Xun is not strange to have Shangguan Zisang. As she stroked the embroidered petals on her sleeve, she said faintly, "What a bad way?"
Shangguan Zisang flashed in front of Murong Xun, frowning delicately, and there was a little more resentment in Yingying's eyes like a water wave. "When you were about to fall to the cliff, the King of Qin came to save you regardless of his life, and the two hugged like a husband and wife. Even in the White Horse Temple, they were still frowned. Go, often have a private tryst. It is said that the fifth Miss of Murong Mansion has been secretly with the King of Qin for a long time. At that time, it is hard to say that Miss Murong married the King of Qin!"
After a pause, Shangguan Zisang continued as if he was not satisfied, "Some people say that Miss Murong Wu is jealous of her third sister, which is to seduce the king of Qin. In fact, she has already been secretly knotted!"
Murong Xun's fingers stiffened. What happened yesterday has spread all over the world today. There is no need to think about who it is. Although half of the words are true, he never thought that rumors will spread to such an extent. I can't help but feel a little more worried. If this happens, even if I can replace Murong Shan to marry the King of Qin in the future, I'm afraid the reputation will be bad!
And the intention of the person who spreads rumors is to have an affair with the royal family. I'm afraid no one dares to have a woman who seduces her brother-in-law! It's not cruel to be careful!
What she is worried about at this moment is that Murong Shan has heard these rumors, so she is not only hopeless to form an alliance, but even deal with herself with the first lady!
Murong Xun smiled indifferently and looked up at Shangguan Zisang's anxious little face, "Is there anything else?"
Shangguan Zisang stared at Murong Xun in surprise, "Isn't it enough? Aren't you worried at all?"
"You said it was a rumor. What can I do? To explain? I'm afraid it will get darker and darker. Let it go!" Murong Xun gently wiped the water stains on his lips with a handkerchief and said indifferently.
Shangguan Zisang frowned and looked at Murong Xun suspiciously, "You don't think the handsome King of Qin is really interested in him, do you?" He bit his lip and said, "You know, brother, he..."
"Xiao Sang!" Shangguan Zixuan interrupted Shangguan Zisang's words. He looked at Murong Xun's eyes with a little more worry and sighed, "I was worried that you would not be able to stand it when I came. I was much more relieved to see your attitude!"
Murong Xun looked at Shangguan Zisang and asked, "Isn't today the last day you bet with the King of Qin?"
Shangguan Zisang pouted, and the scars on his face have almost disappeared. "No more play!"
Murong Xun smiled. When he was in the White Horse Temple, he also heard that Shangguan Zisang was caught by the king of Qin again, and he was hung upside down in front of the gate of the royal palace overnight. Thinking about it, Xiaosang must have lost all his face. However, even if the king of Qin can receive Xiaosang under his command, if Xiaosang has resentment, how can he repay him loyally? After thinking about it for half a day, I don't know what the king of Qin is planning to do!
Shangguan Zixuan asked again, "Ying Xue asked me to ask you, how are you going to deal with the man in prison?"
Murong Xun bit his lip and thought for a moment, and his eyes flowed, "Xhangguan, do me a favor!"
That night, Murong Hua called Murong Xun to the study.
Murong Hua was still dressed in a dark red dress. Under the dim candlelight, his expression was a little serious, his lips were tightly squeezed, and the official documents on the desk were piled up like a mountain. He held a pen in his hand and read it quickly.
"My father called me..." Murong Xun said faintly.
Murong Hua raised her head. His eyes were a little dark. She looked at Murong Xun silently for a while, and then said lightly, "How are you going to deal with the matter of the King of Qin?"
Murong Xun's eyes moved slightly, observed Murong Hua's look, smiled and said, "It's just a rumor. My father can't be so careful!"
Murong Hua's eyes darkened and showed a little anger. He thought that he was happy and angry. This time he must be angry, but his tone was still indifferent, "You can still laugh!" He stared at Murong Xun's eyes, "Don't you plan to get married?"
Murong Xun sighed, "What does the father think? What about Xun'er? Crying and talking about his innocence, didn't anything happen with the king of Qin?
Murong Hua paused for a pause, and her expression was still serious, but there was a little more tenderness. "I ask you, do you like the King of Qin?"
"What?"
Murong Xun got up and slowly paced to the window. He stood with his hands behind his hands. He looked at the moonlight outside the window and said lightly, "If you like the King of Qin, tomorrow I will make it clear to your Majesty that I have changed this marriage and marry you to the King of Qin!"
Murong Xun frowned at Murong Hua's back and thought for a moment, "Father, I'm really on the cusp of the storm at this moment. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to change the marriage now!"
"You are sober!" Murong Hua snorted coldly and turned around and said, "To be honest, I don't want to marry you into the royal family. I really have to!"
Murong Xun said, "The so-called boat is naturally straight to the bridge. There is always a solution!" Is it okay for the father to hand over this matter to Xun'er to deal with it by himself? It's just that at that time, I'm afraid I'd better ask my father to come forward!"
Murong Hua said in a low voice, "You can do it yourself. If you need help for your father, just say it!"
"Thank you, father!"
"You... look so much like your mother!" When it came, Murong Hua looked at Murong Xun's back and said hoarsely.
Murong smoked a sneer on his lips. Regret? If I had known today, why should I have started!
Since the room has spread this matter all over, how can it be spared in the Prime Minister's mansion?
It is said that after hearing about this scandal, Miss Murong Shan cried in the room all night. The next day, her face was haggard and her eyes were red, but she still had to pretend to smile with the eldest lady. The Prime Minister said good morning. When the servants in the Prime Minister's mansion talked about the third lady, they felt sorry for her experience and lamented her filial piety.
On the other hand, the newly returned fifth lady is really worthy of growing up in the countryside. She has never gone to the eldest lady for so long since she returned to the house, and such a big thing happened, but she is like a person who has nothing to talk and laugh freely. It's really shameless. Speaking of her, she looked full of contempt.
Murong Xun naturally felt the contempt of the servants in the yard except for Yingge, but he didn't care at all.
But Yingge was a little upset. She knew the truth, so she persuaded Murong Xun, "People always like to chew their tongues. If the master is upset, he won't get them all out!"
Murong Xun smiled faintly and said, "I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting. Let them go!"
Sure enough, soon after, Murong Shan came to Murong Xun's listening to Yuxuan again. Murong Xun was not surprised at all. If Murong Shan heard those words, she would definitely come to find out the truth.
Murong Shan said a light blue pleated skirt. The skirt was solid color and there was no decoration. She applied a little pink today, covering her pale face, and her whole body looked pitiful.
Murong Shan sat down. After a few words of greeting, she asked tentatively, "The fifth sister and the King of Qin really love each other. If so, I will immediately go to the palace to the Empress Dowager and ask her to withdraw her will and fulfill you!"
The marriage between Murong Shan and the King of Qin was indeed given by the Empress Dowager, and this time Murong Shan replaced the Empress Dowager Dao Wan'an Temple to pray for blessings. I think the Empress Dowager should treat her differently. Is it to warn herself to be aware of herself by moving out the backing the Empress Dowager this time? Admittedly, no matter what, the royal family will never give up such an innocent daughter-in-law and marry her, an immoral woman. The worst case is that the two women work together, and they can only be side concubines at most. In the future, no matter where you are, you will not be able to raise your head.
Murong Xun's eyes were faint, smiling and not smiling. "The third sister misunderstood. The things you said you heard were all rumors! The King of Qin did save my life, but it was all for the face of the Prime Minister's mansion, and there was nothing between the little sister and the King of Qin, and nothing happened!"
Murong Shanxiu frowned slightly and didn't believe it a little, "Ser seriously!"
"Of course it's true!" Murong Xun smiled faintly, "If the third sister doesn't believe it, you can ask the king of Qin. Does he have an affair with his little sister?" The soft sunlight poured down and hit her face, which was slightly unreal and difficult to distinguish.
Murong Shan's face paused slightly, withdrew her eyes from Murong Xun's face, pressed her hand and smiled, "Since the fifth sister has said it, how can I not believe it! It's just that after all, it's harmful to the reputation of the fifth sister. It's not as good as waiting for the third sister to enter the palace. The empress dowager, we will marry into the Qin royal palace together. One is to preserve the reputation of the fifth sister. In addition, our sisters can also have a care in the future!"
"Third sister!" Murong Xun said, "The third sister doesn't have to worry about the little sister. The marriage is doomed and can't be forced!" She looked at Murong Shan's eyes and said slowly, "The little sister is only willing to marry the man she admires, even if it's a simple meal!"
Murong Shan's eyes flashed, as if she had something on her mind. She raised her lips and smiled, "In this case, I don't have to persuade her anymore!"
After a few more words of gossip, Murong Shan just left. Out of listening to Yuxuan, a maid behind her asked, "Miss, do you believe Miss Five's words?"
