After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Go to Ji Yan to complain?

I'm afraid that Ji Yan will try to make a big deal out of a small matter for the sake of "family harmony brings prosperity", and finally say a few irrelevant words to criticize Liu, and then move on from the matter.

Since the Liu mother and daughter have set their sights on her, don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless.

"No, I have other plans."

"Yes."

After the master and servant returned to Fang Cao Xuan, Jiang Hao found Xiang Ling and whispered to her, "Remember to be careful and don't let anyone catch you."

Xiangling nodded with a firm look in her eyes: "Don't worry, young lady. I will be careful."

Soon, Xiangling carefully avoided everyone's sight and slipped out from the back door of Ji's mansion.

Xiangling walked to the south city, took a scarf to cover her face, and then found two beggars: "Help me do a favor, and these ten taels of silver will be yours."

Ten taels of silver is not a small amount in the eyes of a poor person. With this silver, they will not have to starve in the next one or two years.

The two beggars naturally nodded vigorously, fearing that the noble man in front of them would go back on his word.

Xiangling finished speaking, thought for a moment and said, "After you finish your business, leave Kyoto City immediately and never come back."

After hearing Xiangling's instructions, the beggars were stunned for a moment and then overjoyed. It was just spreading the news, which they were good at: "Don't worry, young lady, we will do a good job and won't let anyone catch us."

Within two days, news spread everywhere from nowhere that Master Ji's second legitimate son was dead again, and his wife was clamoring to remarry less than a month after her husband's death.

Ji Zhong told Uncle Ming the news he had heard, and Uncle Ming's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Who is spreading rumors?

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, the mere fact that it is spread is extremely disadvantageous to the Ji family.

Not only did the second wife's reputation suffer, but her daughter was also implicated. If the mother's character was like this, would the daughter she raised be like this as well?

The third young lady's marriage, first she lost her dowry, and now her biological mother's reputation is implicated. I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing.

After hearing Uncle Ming's words, Ji Yan's face turned extremely ugly, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you found the person who spread the news?"

Uncle Ming shook his head: "I only found out that it came from the beggars' den in South City."

This person was smart, he went to the south city to look for beggars. Even if he wanted to investigate, it would take a long time.

"Old Master, let's not talk about the Second Madam and the Third Miss, what about the Fourth Miss?"

You can't write two "Ji" characters with one stroke. Jiang Hao, as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, will be implicated by the second branch to some extent.

Ji Yan said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has looked for me."

Uncle Ming didn't quite understand what the old man meant by suddenly mentioning the eldest princess.

But before Uncle Ming could ask, Ji Yan said, "According to the Princess, the Prince has taken a liking to her."

"what?"

Uncle Ming opened his mouth slightly in shock.

This……

Ji Yan had just returned from meeting the Princess, and then he heard Uncle Ming talking about the rumors about the second house. It was outrageous!

Uncle Ming took a while to digest the news: "Old Master, what do you think?"

If you want to keep the marriage at the Princess's Mansion, no matter whether the rumors outside are true or false, the simplest and most brutal way is not to dispel the rumors immediately, but to separate the second house.

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

Even if the Ji government responded by refuting the rumor, how many people would believe it?

It would be better to take a one-size-fits-all approach and then clear the second branch's name after the matter is fully investigated.

Ji Yan was in a very complicated mood, and it was impossible for him to make a decision in a short time. He hesitated and said, "Send more people to investigate, and make sure to find the rumormonger and send him to the government office. As for the other matters, let me think about it..."
