If it is just a little personal affair between children, people will talk about it, but if it rises to the level of character, it will not work. When people are officials, reputation and character are what they value.
Just think about it, how can a person with bad conduct be an official?
Especially for someone like Rong Ci. He is the son of the Rong family, but he wants to inherit the princely title of his maternal grandfather's family. Originally, there were many jealous people staring at him, but now that this incident has happened, it has become a problem.
He used weapons to attack him and wanted to drag him down from the clouds.
"how so?"
The people of the Yue family are really anxious.
When things go down like this, there are bound to be two results. One is that the court will ignore it, but Rong Ci also loses the chance to inherit the title of king. The other is that someone is sent to conduct a thorough investigation to find out the ins and outs of the matter.
If it's the former, it's like cutting off Rong Ci's future with one blow. In the future, he will be the ninth son of Duke Rong's family at most, which will not be of any benefit to the Yue family.
But if it's the latter, the court will investigate the matter. If the Yue family and Yue Qingshuang are found out for lying and spreading rumors, the Yue family's face may be thrown to the ground and trampled on.
It would even involve Yue Shaofu and Yue Liangdi in the East Palace.
How could it be so easy to become a young master, the tutor of the crown prince, and the tutor of the future emperor? You must have enough knowledge and a good reputation. If there is any stain or someone catches you, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will immediately turn into mad dogs.
, I’ll bite you if I catch you.
Not to mention anything else, just saying "his moral character is dirty and unworthy of being the prince's teacher" can make him so miserable that he may even be kicked off.
For this reason, there were some disputes among the Yue family that night.
Mr. Yue's face turned a little dark: "When you did these things, why didn't you discuss it with me? It's fine now. If there really is a commotion, our family won't be able to get any good results."
Mrs. Yue felt uneasy: "I didn't expect it to suddenly turn into this. Qingshuang and I are just, just..."
"Mom, my little sister is ignorant and is fooling around. Is it possible that you are also fooling around with her?" Mrs. Yue's daughter-in-law couldn't help but stand up, "Now that the situation is like this, we must come up with a charter."
"Mother-in-law, I don't care how you pampered her before, it was just a trivial matter, but now you are trying to poke a hole in the sky, what do you want me to do?"
"If the Yue family is really implicated, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"What do you mean by that?"
The Yue family members were noisy, and Yue Qingshuang sat on a rose armchair with her head lowered and silent. At this time, her face was pale, as if there was no blood, especially under the candle, it was so pale.
After a long time, she suddenly stood up: "Okay! Stop arguing!"
"Qingshuang, you still have the nerve to say, if it weren't for you, why would the Yue family be in danger?" Sister-in-law Yue is not afraid of Yue Qingshuang. In the past, she just coaxed this sister-in-law, but now she is in trouble like this.
Who can bear to do something that brings harm to the family?
Yue Qingshuang took a deep breath: "Sister-in-law, why would you say such a thing? Why do you say my mother is your mother-in-law? Do you even dare to scold your elders now?"
Sister-in-law Yue said: "Why do you blame me? I am willing to be a good daughter-in-law, but how can I sit still with such a troublesome sister-in-law in the family?"
Yue Qingshuang bit her lip: "Since it's all because of me, if anything happens, I'll just take full responsibility for it. Why would my sister-in-law say such unpleasant things?"
"It's a joke. You said that if you bear it with all your strength, you can bear it with all your strength. Can you bear it?" Sister-in-law Yue was full of anger. "I've said something ugly before. If something bad happens, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After that, she turned around and left. Seeing this, Mr. Yue had no choice but to chase after him. After Mr. Yue left, the room became quiet for a while. After a long time, Mrs. Yue's faint sobs could be heard.
Yue Qingshuang felt a little embarrassed and couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and left in a hurry.
.
Xie Yixiao was enjoying the coolness under the eaves. There was no moon or stars in the sky tonight, and dark clouds were slowly crawling above. They were also a little dark, fearing that it was going to rain.
But at this time, the night breeze came out again, which was refreshing and cool, and very comfortable.
Xie Zhu hesitated to leave her side, looking at her for a while, as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Xie Yi smiled and folded his clothes, feeling a little cold: "Why don't you go back? It's going to rain soon?"
Xie Zhu rubbed her fingers: "Auntie, are you really not worried?"
Xie Yixiao squeezed the handle of the fan in his hand and said with a smile: "What's there to worry about? I'm not blind after all. I don't even know who the person I want to marry is."
"Since I believe the Ninth Young Master, as for those ups and downs rumors, it is up to the Ninth Young Master and Rong Guo Gong's Mansion to handle them. If they can't handle even this matter, then it is not Rong Guo Gong's Mansion."
"Okay, let's go back. You see, your grandfather, uncle, and father are not worried. It's obviously nothing. It's going to rain if you don't leave."
Xie Zhu thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so she ignored it and left Qingshan Garden with others, and returned to her yard before the rain fell.
Not long after, the rain poured down from the sky, falling on the roof with a splashing sound, and then fell along the tile eaves and landed on the ground.
When the wind blew, it also caused the fallen beads to tilt slightly and wet the high platform under the eaves.
Xie Yixiao said he wasn't worried, but he was thinking about this matter in his heart.
The incident was caused by the Yue family, and they must have wanted to use this to force Duke Rong's government to acknowledge the incident.
Although she couldn't figure out why the Yue family thought that Duke Rong's government would recognize this matter, it didn't stop her from knowing the Yue family's ultimate goal.
It's just that these rumors have spread like this, which is really detrimental to Rong Ci.
They want to investigate, and the Yue family insists that this matter is true. If Rong Jiu Gong doesn't admit it, it means he started the chaos and gave up. Rong Jiu Gong can prove his innocence. Maybe some people say that Rong Guo Gong's government uses power to suppress others and deceives.
worldly people.
After much thought, Xie Yixiao wrote a letter, dried it, folded it and put it in an envelope.
"Ding Jing, call Qingluo over here. I have something for her to do."
"Yes." Ming Jing responded and went out, and soon he came in with Qingluo.
Xie Yixiao handed the envelope to Qingluo: "This matter is a bit urgent. Although it is raining, I still need your help to send this letter to Rong Guogong's mansion, whether it is for Master Rong Jiu or Rong Guo.
Both the father-in-law and the wife are successful."
Qingluo was so idle that he was almost rusty. Hearing this, he naturally said nothing: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely bring you here."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Looking at the rain, I don't know when it will stop. You should go and come back early. Thank you for your hard work."
"yes."
Qingluo put the envelope in her arms and went out holding an umbrella.
