Chapter 179 179. Conversation by the River

Zhong Zhouyi admired his painting: "What did you say?"

The maid said angrily: "They said that you and Shen Ruoxi were alone in the mountains and must have done something shameful. What they said was very unpleasant."

Zhong Zhouyi's face darkened, he was silent for a moment, and walked towards the yard where Mrs. Zhong lived: "Grandma."

Mrs. Zhong was sitting on the rocking chair, closing her eyes to relax. After hearing this, she opened her eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard some bad things." Zhong Zhouyi hesitated, "Grandma, help me think of a solution."

Mrs. Zhong asked Zhong Zhouyi to sit down, and then looked at him lovingly: "Say."

Zhong Zhouyi pursed his lips and looked very ugly: "The people in the village said bad things about Ruoxi and me. The maid said, they said it very badly. Grandma, they said I can do it, but I don't want them to say bad things about Ruoxi."

Mrs. Zhong patted Zhong Zhouyi's arm: "Zhou Yi, for now, you can only marry Ruoxi to quell the rumors, otherwise these words will accompany Ruoxi for the rest of her life."

Zhong Zhouyi opened his mouth: "Grandma, I..."

Mrs. Zhong said earnestly: "Zhou Yi, Ruo Xi is the best girl in the village. You made a profit by marrying her. Didn't Ruo Xi say that your body has not deteriorated much? That doesn't matter.

Is Ruoxi married?"

Zhong Zhouyi hesitated, but his guard relaxed: "I..."

Mrs. Zhong added to the anger. She could see that her grandson had feelings for Ruoxi: "Zhou Yi, Ruoxi's reputation has been ruined by you. If you don't marry her, she will not end well."

"Grandma, I understand." Zhong Zhouyi was silent for a moment, "Grandma, if Ruo Xi comes back in the afternoon, I will ask her. If she is willing, I will, I will marry her."

Mrs. Zhong smiled happily: "Okay, okay, grandma is waiting for your good news."

Zhong Zhouyi returned to his room, thinking about how to tell Shen Ruoxi about this.

…

The sun sets and the scenery is beautiful.

Shen Ruohan took the medicine box from Shen Suhong's hand, her expression a little unnatural: "Second sister, are you back?"

Shen Ruoxi felt that Shen Ruohan was a little abnormal: "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Ruohan said haha: "I'll put the medicine box for you." Before she could finish her words, she walked to the room.

Shen Suhong scratched her hair: "There's something wrong with Ruohan!"

Shen Ruoxi looked at Shen Suhong, and Suhong realized that something was wrong with Ruohan. That meant something was really wrong: "We'll ask her later."

Shen Ruohan came out of the room slowly and saw the two of them standing in the yard looking at her, their expressions even more unnatural: "Second sister, Suhong, don't you have to be busy today?"

Just as Shen Ruoxi was about to say something, Shen Ruohao came back from outside angrily: "These people are simply sick. They don't even have enough to eat at home, but they still have the energy to meddle in other people's business!"

Shen Ruoxi turned her head and looked at Shen Ruohao: "Who are you scolding?"

Shen Ruohao didn't notice that Shen Ruoxi had gone home and quickly shut up: "No, no scolding, I just sighed."

Shen Ruoxi looked at Shen Ruohan and then at Shen Ruohao: "Give you a chance to confess and be lenient, otherwise I will be angry?"

Shen Ruohan and Shen Ruohao winked and complained to each other for a while, then Shen Ruohao couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Second sister, people in the village are talking bad about you and Zhong Zhouyi. It's very unpleasant. I even got into a fight with them today."

Shen Ruoxi understood it as soon as she heard it. Sure enough, the malicious slander was still unavoidable: "Rumors stop only the wise, don't take it to heart."

The most difficult thing to contain is rumors. Shen Ruoxi has seen too many.

Shen Ruohao was so angry that he put his hands on his hips: "I just can't see them talking nonsense. Second sister, why do you think they are like this? You can talk about things that obviously don't happen, as if you have seen them with your own eyes."

Shen Ruoxi didn't expect her younger siblings to be so concerned about her affairs, so she couldn't help but smile: "No matter how angry you are, it won't change anything. Okay, relax, it will get better after a while."

Shen Ruohao closed his eyes: "No, I have to think of a way to avoid taking this dirty water."

Shen Ruoxi actually didn't care. She was not from this place and didn't pay much attention to the reputation issue: "Stop fighting with others, otherwise it will be spread even more unpopularly."

Shen Ruohan grimaced: "Second sister, think of a way to stop this rumor."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Ruohan, the rumor has spread to everyone, and there is no point in stopping it."

Shen Ruohan lowered his head, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a handsome figure walked in and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Ruoxi."

Several people looked towards the door together.

Shen Ruoxi asked: "What's the matter with you?" She probably came because of the rumors, let's listen to what he said.

Zhong Zhouyi looked around and said a little apologetically: "Can we talk alone?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded: "Okay, where can we talk?"

Zhong Zhouyi thought for a while: "Let's go to the river."

Shen Ruoxi was silent for a moment: "Let's go." Things can't get worse than this.

The two of them walked side by side to the river. Along the way, there were so many people looking at them, as if they were really having an affair.

Arriving at the river, Shen Ruoxi squatted down by the river and washed her hands, then played in the water: "Fishing here is not bad."

Zhong Zhouyi especially likes Shen Ruoxi's character. It seems that she has never lost her temper: "Ruoxi, you are so optimistic and have such a good personality."

Shen Ruoxi joked: "I am a doctor. If I have a bad personality, I will have at least three quarrels with my guests every day."

Zhong Zhouyi smiled: "You can't. You are a good doctor. Not only are you good at medical skills, but you also have a good temper. Their patients are really lucky to meet you."

Shen Ruoxi said: "This is too serious, I just want to make money."

Zhong Zhouyi is particularly good at talking: "Everyone has to eat, and making money based on one's own skills is the most natural thing to do. There is nothing wrong with it."

Shen Ruoxi turned her head and glanced at Zhong Zhouyi: "I'm embarrassed by what you said."

Zhong Zhouyi's tone was sincere: "These are my words from the bottom of my heart."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Zhou Yi, why don't you tell me what you want from me? Otherwise, you won't even be able to explain it in the dark."

Zhong Zhouyi nodded: "Have you heard about the rumors in the village?"

Shen Ruoxi poured water, and the cold feeling in her palms made her feel very comfortable: "I heard it. Ruohan and Ruohao told me when I came back just now."

"I, I..." Zhong Zhouyi hesitated, tightened his fingers, and couldn't help but feel very nervous.

"You can say whatever you want, we are all so familiar, it doesn't matter." Shen Ruoxi didn't care about the rumors, after all, she had never done it before.

Zhong Zhouyi looked down at Shen Ruoxi: "Shall we get married?"

Shen Ruoxi was stunned: Isn't this a conversation? How did it turn into a proposal? No, this proposal is too simple, not true!

Zhong Zhouyi looked away and couldn't help but blush: "Ruoxi, the rumors are too ugly. Only when we get married can we put these words to rest."
