Chapter 242 Rumors are like knives, killing people like hemp
In the afternoon, the girls were tired of playing and were about to say goodbye and leave one after another. Cao Sijin left first, followed by Deng Wanru and others, and then came the Xie family branch.
Xu Pingting stayed to talk to Xie Yixiao for a few words.
"Now Yue Qingshuang is still in prison, and the Yue family is preparing to leave the Imperial City. She will never be proud again in her life." Xu Pingting was very happy, "I have to thank you more, girl. Apart from this disaster,
You don’t know, right? You don’t know how many people have been harmed by her using this method.”
"In the past, I had a very good friend who was very good-looking, but he was not from a high family background. His father was just a petty official, but he was gentle and talented. However, he was framed by her because he was an eyesore to her."
"It was said that she was dating a certain powerful and romantic young man. In order to gain wealth, she was so shameless and so on. My friend was criticized every time he walked out. In the end, in order to prove his innocence, he hanged himself."
Xie Yixiao was stunned, and the hand holding the tea cup became stiff: "Is there such a thing?"
If this is true, then Yue Qingshuang is really evil-hearted.
Previously, Xie Yixiao thought that Yue Qingshuang would be imprisoned for three months, and her father had lost his official position. Once the whole family was brought back to their original form, the punishment would indeed be a bit harsh.
But if Yue Qingshuang has really done anything to harm others with rumors, then she is not innocent even if her life is taken.
"Of course it's true." Xu Pingting sneered, "I, Xu Pingting, am not a good person, but she is really vicious-hearted, and I don't know how many people she has harmed."
"Some can't stand it anymore and can't live any longer, and some just stay in their yards and don't dare to go out on weekdays, for fear of being criticized and criticized by people outside."
"She was the only girl in my friend's family. After the girl passed away, her mother was devastated and died soon after. Her father was so disheartened that he resigned and took his son back to his hometown."
Xu Pingting said a lot in one breath, and she seemed to be gnashing her teeth in hatred towards Yue Qingshuang.
Qin Yinqing couldn't help but ask: "Then why didn't they report to the official?"
Xu Pingting sneered: "Reporting to the official? What's the use of reporting to the official? They committed suicide and were not killed by others. And even if they want to find the source of this rumor, who knows where this rumor came from.
?”
"Even if we found out, the other party only said one sentence. He was just trying to be happy for a moment and was talking nonsense. I don't know how it got spread like this. This can't punish him."
Rumors are like knives and murders are like hemp, and you still can't find the culprit and you can't convict the other party.
Everyone present felt chills in their hearts when they heard this.
Xu Pingting said: "In short, I feel happy that Yue Qingshuang has suffered such retribution, and I am also grateful to Miss Xie for punishing her."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "I don't have that much ability. When I was in Tai Chi Hall, I just told the truth. If Miss Xu wants to thank you, just thank your majesty. It's all your majesty's decision."
"Thank you very much. If you need my help with anything in the future, just come to me."
After Xu Pingting said this, she said goodbye and left.
Qin Yinqing looked at Jiang Zhaoling: "Do you think what she said is true?"
Jiang Zhaoling said: "We don't know if it's true or not. Xu Pingting is indeed a bit arrogant and domineering, and she also has a very bad temper."
Qin Ruxing said: "But I think a person like her would never tell such a lie to say thank you. When has she ever said thank you to anyone?"
Xie Yixiao pondered for a moment: "If this matter is true, someone should investigate it."
If so many people were really harmed by Yue Qingshuang's rumors, she couldn't just take advantage of her.
"Yes." Qin Yinqing said, "We must check it out. I thought she was a proud person before, but I didn't expect her heart to be so vicious."
Jiang Zhaoling said: "If you want to investigate, why not let Jingzhao Mansion do the investigation? Anyway, he is now in jail in Jingzhao Mansion."
Xie Yixiao also felt that how could these girls get in touch with the Jingzhao Mansion, and if they came forward, it would be a bit bad.
She thought for a while and said, "Why don't I write a letter to Ninth Young Master and ask Duke Rong's Mansion to ask Jingzhao Mansion to conduct a thorough investigation. In this way, those things can be found out."
Now it happens that the Yue family has been kicked out of Rong Guogong's mansion. Rong Guogong's mansion suspects that she has done such a thing before and wants to investigate thoroughly. Jingzhao's mansion will definitely investigate.
"This is a good idea!" Qin Yinqing clapped her hands, thinking it was a good idea.
"It would be good if Duke Rong's government came forward."
The group of people agreed on this matter and breathed a sigh of relief, and then talked about other things.
"Ayou is really going to marry far away?" Qin Yinqing sighed, "Speaking of it, she is also unlucky. How come she has such a fate? If not, she is the eldest daughter of the Hou family, how can she marry poorly."
"Speaking of which..." Qin Ruxing suddenly said, "Actually, when I come today, I have some things to tell you, and my marriage is also going to be finalized."
The people present saw that she was not happy when she talked about this matter, and they suddenly became a little worried.
Jiang Zhaoling asked her: "Which family is it?"
Qin Ruxing said: "Even if I'm not in the imperial city, I want to marry far away."
"What? You also want to marry far away?" Qin Yinqing stood up suddenly in shock, "Why is this? Is there no suitable one in the imperial city? Your home and your friends are all here, why do you want to marry somewhere else?
"
Qin Ruxing's face was calm: "Don't get excited yet, listen to what I have to say."
Qin Ruxing took a breath again and continued: "You also know that my cousin is going to marry into Prince Ning's palace, right? Who knows what Prince Ning is thinking? My mother was a little panicked, so she made the decision."
"The person my mother assigned to me was my aunt's cousin. Although my aunt and my mother are not biologically related, they have been as close as sisters since childhood and have been in constant contact over the years."
"My cousin is in his prime this year. He is a talented person and has good knowledge. Moreover, his family is not bad either. He is one of the famous clans in Jingzhou."
"I thought about it and thought it was good."
Qin Ruxing's mother was also afraid that the Duke of Qin would get involved in the fight for the throne, and she saw Prince Ning jumping up and down, but she really had no advantage. If she got involved, she would be seeking death.
Moreover, if she keeps him any longer, she won't be able to tell who she will marry.
She had met this aunt and cousin and felt that it would be more reliable to marry her.
Xie Yixiao also understood this truth, so he said: "Since you think it's a good place there, you can marry there. It's also beneficial to be farther away from the Imperial City."
If the Duke of Qin really joins Prince Ning in causing trouble, she might be in trouble if she stays in the imperial city if the matter fails.
It’s not like we are pushed to the edge of a cliff and have to fight hard. Since there is a way out, we naturally want to be stable in the future.
Jiang Zhaoling thought for a while and then said: "I think it's good for you to leave the Imperial City."
Qin Yinqing thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to marry."
