Seeing Lu Zhu's expression, Bai Wanrou smiled slightly and waved to her.
"If it's okay, just go down first. If there are such rumors in the future, don't tell me, and ignore it yourself. They can say whatever they like."
She explained calmly.
Hearing this, Luzhu nodded heavily: "Okay, young lady! That slave will leave first."
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou nodded slightly.
Then, Luzhu closed the door before leaving.
Bai Wanrou was the only one left in the room.
A profound expression finally appeared on her face.
The fact that I was being rumored must be someone behind the scenes.
She was not a fool. She had already guessed the reason almost the moment Lu Zhu told her.
What I don’t know is, who is that person behind?
Bai Wanrou's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and there was doubt in her eyes.
Nowadays, there are many people who have hatred against me.
Who could be the person pulling the strings behind this?
That’s all.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Wanrou couldn't figure out the leader.
After a while, she chuckled and shook her head.
Anyway, it's just gossip, it won't hurt them, so they can talk whatever they like.
What interests her more now is that Lan Qi and Lu Yi didn't drive away by themselves.
When they tried to seduce Chen Ruzhi, he walked away with dignity.
Chen Ruzhi himself did not know how to show mercy and cherish the beauty, so he drove away the beauty, but in the end, he was the one who took the responsibility of this tigress and earned a reputation of jealousy.
What is this?
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the stiff and cold expression on Chen Ruzhi's face when he faced Lan Qi and Lu Yi.
He suddenly laughed, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.
Although she didn't care, some people cared very much.
Early the next morning, the housekeeper was called to the study by Chen Ruzhi. As soon as the door was closed, Lin Yi stood outside, listening to the faint voices coming from inside.
In the room, the housekeeper stood aside in a cold sweat, carefully trying to figure out the expression of Chen Ruzhi who was walking across from him.
Chen Ruzhi was sitting behind the desk, staring at the housekeeper with cold eyes: "I drove him away, and those people just talked about me, but why did they involve the princess?!"
Hearing this, the butler shook his body and said, "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know. The servant chased people away according to your order. As a result, the group of onlookers began to accuse the princess..."
Chen Ruzhi's eyebrows frowned fiercely, and cold air continued to emanate from his body, turning the entire house into a cold room.
After thinking for a long time, a look of sternness appeared in his eyes: "The matter is not simple, someone is deliberately slandering Wanrou behind her back!"
After he finished speaking, he cast his stern eyes on the butler without saying a word, just like Shura.
When the housekeeper saw it, he was so frightened that he lost his courage and said: "My lord, your lord, this was not done by a slave..."
Chen Ruzhi snorted coldly: "I know you don't have the courage."
He didn't know who he suddenly thought of, and his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Call Lin Yi in."
Hearing this, the housekeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out.
After a while, Lin Yi walked in with his head lowered.
Chen Ruzhi said coldly: "Have you found out who did it?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at him secretly, and then reported: "Reporting to the prince, my subordinates investigated and found out that it was Yue's intention of the Yue family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ruzhi's big palm suddenly hit the table, making a heavy sound.
"Presumptuous! He even dares to scheme against my king's Wanrou!"
Lin Yi quietly glanced at the table under Chen Ruzhi, and couldn't help but think to himself: It's so strong, it won't break like this!
"It seems that the Yue family is dishonest again. You go and warn them. Tell them that someone in the Yue family has offended my princess." Chen Ruzhi continued.
When Lin Yi heard this, he could only nod his head and walked out immediately.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the palace, Yue Chen knelt straight in the center of the courtyard, his brows furrowed, his face full of (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 113 Demotion
deep.
After a while, a eunuch slowly walked over from behind him.
The eunuch glanced at him coldly and waved the whisk: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back? Our Lord has made up his mind. No matter how much you plead for mercy, he will not take back his will."
Hearing this sharp voice, Yue Chen turned his head suddenly and looked at the eunuch's eyes full of prayer and doubt: "Please, father-in-law, please say a few kind words for me."
"Even if you can't change your mind, can you tell me the reason why I was demoted?"
As he spoke, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
He was serving his job well, but today he suddenly received the news that he was demoted. It was as if he was struck by lightning on the spot.
The key is that he didn't know which noble person he had offended, and he was demoted from his official position inexplicably.
How could you not feel wronged in your heart?
When the eunuch heard his question, the corners of his clean and smooth lips raised into a sneer: "It's really amazing to be an official like you. You don't even know who you have offended."
Immediately, he suddenly raised his chin, looked up into the air, raised his hands, and bowed his hands respectfully to the sky, with a serious and respectful expression on his face.
"Prince Jian'an's subordinate Lin Yi said that the young lady from the Yue family offended the princess, and the prince was furious."
Then he looked at Yue Chen and said, "If Mr. Yue wants to blame you, let's blame you for giving birth to a good daughter."
After saying that, he turned and left.
In place, Yue Chen's face gradually darkened.
At the gate of Yue's house, a sedan stopped. The driver carrying the sedan looked anxious and uneasy, and everyone looked downcast.
Then, Yue Chen walked down, with a sinister expression on his face, and entered the mansion.
At this time, passers-by outside stopped and started talking.
"What's wrong with Mr. Yue? He looks so bad."
"You still don't know? It was Miss Yue Yi of the Yue family who offended Princess Jian'an. The prince was furious and demoted Master Yue."
"The prince is so kind to the princess. Others just said something to offend the princess, and Mr. Yue was demoted by the prince."
"I heard that Miss Yueyi was also a concubine in the palace..."
"How can she compare with the princess?!"
Yue Chen walked straight to the courtyard where Yue Yi lived. Along the way, all the servants turned pale when they saw his gloomy expression.
Who made them angry again?
In the room, Yue Yi was sitting at the table, drinking tea with a proud face: "This time the bad reputation of being jealous is Bai Wanrou's label!"
She still didn't know the blow the Chen family had suffered today, so she kept showing off.
There was a flattering smile on the maid's face: "How can that woman compare with you, young lady? She is just overestimating her abilities!"
Yueyi's words were very helpful. With a smile on her face, she grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and stuffed them into the maid's hand.
At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.
Yueyi and the maid were both shocked.
Yue Chen walked in angrily.
Seeing this, Yue hurriedly greeted her: "Why are you here..."
Before she could finish her words, Yue Chen kicked the table over, causing the tea to splash to the floor and the golden melon seeds to scatter.
Yueyi's face suddenly showed a sense of grievance, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Dad! What's wrong with you? You can't express your anger to your daughter!"
Yue Chen was already angry. When he heard these words, he slapped Yue Yi on the face: "You still have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't offended the princess, how could the prince demote me?!"
Hearing this, Yue Yi suddenly understood. She covered her stinging face and looked at Yue Chen with fear in her eyes: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Yue Chen didn't have time to pretend to be stupid with her, so he directly said sullenly: "From now on, you are not allowed to scheme against the princess, nor are you allowed to have any dealings with the prince."
"If I find you disobedient, I won't let you off lightly!"
Hearing this, Yueyi burst into tears of grievance: "Dad! Why are you facing outsiders?"
Seeing her unwilling expression, Yue Chen felt cruel in his heart: "Come here, lock the young lady into the woodshed. Don't let her out without my order!"
Soon, there will be (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 113 Demotion
The servants forcibly dragged Yueyi away.
In the palace, Bai Qingting walked straight to Bai Wanrou's room.
At this time, Bai Wanrou was chatting with Lu Zhu. When she saw Bai Qingting walking in, she quickly invited her in to sit down.
"Brother, why are you here free?" Bai Wanrou thoughtfully poured a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Qingting, asking with a smile.
Hearing this, Bai Qingting's expression became mysterious, and he waved to Bai Wanrou.
When Bai Wanrou saw this, she felt confused and walked over.
Just listen to Bai Qingting say slowly.
After a while, a look of surprise appeared on Bai Wanrou's face: "What? Is my brother joking with Wanrou?"
"Why did the prince suddenly demote Yue Chen?"
Hearing this, Bai Qingting said solemnly: "How could brother lie to you? Besides, this matter has been spread. If you don't believe it, send someone to investigate."
"Your Majesty, why did he demote Yue Chen from his position for you?"
When Bai Wanrou heard this, she still couldn't believe it.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Zhu had said to herself that day, and her eyes suddenly opened wide.
Your Majesty, he didn’t demote Yue Chen because of the criticism, did he?
Is it possible that Yueyi was behind this incident?
But how could he demote Yueyi's father for his own sake?
Her expression darkened, and she still couldn't believe it.
She couldn't understand, so she simply didn't want to think about it.
He immediately turned to look at Bai Qingting, smiled lightly and said, "Brother, what else can you do?"
Hearing this, Bai Qingting couldn't help but curl her lips.
A sense of helplessness arose in his heart.
A few days ago, for some unknown reason, Bai Fengqi forced him to practice martial arts, saying that it would be useful.
He was in the martial arts field almost every day, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Sometimes he was caught by Bai Fengqi when he was lazy, and he was not allowed to eat.
He couldn't bear it anymore, so he secretly ran out to avoid Bai Fengqi under the guise of reporting the news to Bai Wanrou.
Seeing that her thoughts were exposed, Bai Qingting smiled helplessly.
Whatever happened to him, he could not hide it from Wanrou's eyes.
Bai Wanrou looked at Bai Qingting's expression and laughed secretly in her heart.
She had long heard that her father insisted that her brother practice martial arts.
I must have thought that my brother suddenly came here today because he couldn't bear the fatigue, so he came to hide here for a while.
