After all, Shi Jiang can't compete head-on with Du Baicheng now. Anyway, his goal has been achieved. Once this rumor comes out, no matter what, unless the Du family marries Du Yanran to Yang Yu, there will definitely be nothing they can do.
However, to Shi Jiang's surprise, the rumors were not curbed after Du Baicheng took action, but instead became more and more noisy.
Now the Du family's faces have been torn off and rubbed on the ground.
I don’t know which master secretly hates the Du family so much. He doesn’t want benefits, but only wants the Du family to be disgraced!
The most surprising thing was that even Du Baicheng couldn't suppress the other party, let alone find out who the other party was.
If Shi Jiang were Du Baicheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
Beside the bed, there is such an evil tiger that will appear at any time and is staring at it. If Du Baicheng is not careful, the Du family may be in a desperate situation.
For Du Baicheng, marrying Du Yanran to Yang Yu became a trivial matter.
My daughter's reputation has been ruined, but we can't ruin the reputation of the Du family with her.
At worst, marry your daughter to the Yang family first. In this way, the Du family's reputation will naturally be preserved!
Although Du Baicheng could not find out who was the secret promoter, the person who spread the rumor could not escape his grasp.
Yang Yu, this bastard, if it weren't for the good things he and his mother did, how could the Du family's reputation and his daughter's reputation be so ruined?
After ruining his daughter's life, he still wants to marry the daughter of the Du family and live a good life. That is just a dream.
As for this grudge, there are many ways to settle Yang Yu's case.
The easiest thing is to make the daughter a widow.
The presence of this secret person gave Du Baicheng a headache, as he was not sure what the other party wanted to do.
Although Shi Jiang said no one would add fuel to the flames, Qin Fang brought news and whispered in her ear.
After hearing the news, Shi Jiang was stunned for a while, then thought about it carefully, and finally remembered something in his mind.
But that happened a few years later in the previous life. It was the day when Yang Yu held a banquet and married Du Yanran while the original body was locked in the courtyard.
After the maid who came to deliver her food threw the rice bowl into the house, she stood outside the door and chatted about the new wife's gossip with the maid who was guarding her.
Among them, they talked about the person Qin Fang told her, the mistress of the Du family.
However, the mistress of the Du family had already passed away at that time. According to gossip from the maids, although it was rumored that she died of illness, it was actually because she was not good to the new wife.
The rumors were strictly blocked, but the servants all had their own channels for information, so they still knew a little bit about it.
At first, I was still a little suspicious, but seeing that the new lady had not yet married, she asked the adults to lock up the cousin, and looked like she wanted to kill the cousin, so I knew that the new lady was a powerful character.
The two maids felt sad when they thought that they would have to work under such a ruthless lady in the future. As servants, they were most afraid of encountering such a master. If they were not careful, it would be fatal.
Now it seems that the mistress of the Du family is still alive and well, but she is actually holding back her husband in private.
It seems that the rumor is indeed true. I am afraid that Mrs. Du is not loved by Du Baicheng in the Du Mansion, and may even be disgusted with her.
Otherwise, Du Baicheng didn't punish Du Yanran for his daughter's murder of her aunt.
Otherwise, even if it was to worry about the reputation of the Du family, Du Yanran would not have it so easy.
He also gave money and house title deeds to help Yang Yu take the exam in Beijing.
Because Yang Yu, his son-in-law, was admitted to the imperial examination and became a capital official, Du Baicheng became the king and hegemon in the city, and no one dared to offend him.
Even if Du Yanran died and Yang Yu remarried, the Du family did not break off contact with Yang Yu.
After all, because of the presence of the Du family, Yang Yu didn't need to worry about the expenses he needed in the capital. Anyway, the Du family would send a large sum of money to the Yang family every year.
Even for this money, Yang Yu would not completely sever ties with the Du family.
The Du family also had a relationship with the Hou Mansion because of Yang Yu's subsequent marriage. Naturally, no one dared to care about it in the city. Even the county magistrate had to avoid the Du family.
Now Mrs. Du is still alive, but Shi Jiang doesn't know when Du Yanran took action against Mrs. Du. The best way is to find out the truth.
However, she didn't want to expose herself too early.
After all, Mrs. Du is now Du Baicheng's wife and the head matron of the Du family.
Shi Jiang thought for a while, then pulled Qin Fang and murmured for a while.
A few days later, outside the Du Mansion, a monk dressed like an eminent monk came to alms with his young apprentice.
After taking a sip of the bowl of water given by the servant at the door, he pointedly asked to see Mrs. Du, the destined person.
If the servant who guarded the door hadn't considered him a monk, he would have kicked him out of the house.
But the monk's quasi-Zen words made the servant at the door murmur.
Unable to make up his mind, he naturally went in and informed the butler.
After hearing this, the housekeeper naturally went to report to his wife.
Mrs. Du believed in Buddhism, and when she heard the monk say that she was destined to be the Lord Buddha, she asked the housekeeper to bring him to her Buddhist hall.
As soon as the monk came in, he shouted Amitabha, then acted like an eminent monk and practiced meditation with Mrs. Du.
No one noticed that the young disciple who followed the eminent monk wrinkled his nose as soon as he entered the Buddhist hall, covered his mouth and nose with his hand, and then quietly looked around secretly.
When she saw the incense string inserted in the incense burner, a light flashed in her eyes, and there was indeed something fishy about it.
When Mrs. Du saw that the eminent monk had drunk three cups of tea, but kept flirting with her, her brows slowly furrowed, and she wanted to serve tea as a farewell to the guests.
The eminent monk was pretending to be calm, but in fact he was already very anxious inside. However, when he saw the young apprentice muttering in the eminent monk's ear, his expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his nose with Sharjah.
"Madam, sometimes you need to use good incense to be sincere. I'm afraid this inferior incense is disrespectful to the Lord Buddha!"
After saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Du to serve tea to see the guests off, she directly pulled off the young apprentice's sleeve and hurried out the door.
After hearing the incomprehensible words of the eminent monk, Mrs. Du was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked towards the incense burner with incense strings inserted in the middle of the Buddhist hall.
The housekeeper saw the monk running so fast and saw that the wife didn't speak, so he couldn't call someone to stop the master and disciple.
Mrs. Du grew up in a family of officials, so she was very familiar with the intrigues in the inner house.
Soon she came to her senses and wanted to ask the master and apprentice for clarification. The housekeeper sent people out to search for several streets, but no one was found.
