A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 309: Creating Rumors

It turned out that Zhao Yichen had also experienced a near-death experience, and he was lucky to return safely in the end. Shen Qingqian secretly rejoiced in her heart. But thinking of Yang Sheng's unfortunate death on the battlefield, Shen Qingqian felt a little uncomfortable.

After a war, some people return safely with the expectation of their families, but some people are buried in a foreign land and will never come back!

After Zhou Susu left, Shen Qingqian felt exhausted and went back to her room to rest. She did not come out of the room until lunch time.

Han Qingshan was there too. Ever since he learned that Shen Qingqian had been robbed and murdered, and that he and Zhizhu were both injured, Han Qingshan had come more often and basically had lunch and dinner here.

After dinner, Shen Qingqian called the educated youth to the study and asked her to do some things.

The educated youth knew that Shen Qingqian was going to do something, but she didn't ask anything and went out to do her work.

The educated youth was very efficient and returned in less than two hours.

She handed Shen Qingqian three sheets of paper and said, "Miss, the first sheet contains all the information about the Third Princess. It is very comprehensive, and I have found out everything from her birth to the present.

The second and third pages are the notes of Dong Yurou and Zhao Xinger respectively."

Shen Qingqian took the paper and praised, "Well done, educated youth."

The educated youth added, "Also, I heard that Dong Yurou asked Zhao Xing'er and Chu Sisi to have tea at Mingxiang Teahouse tomorrow morning, but Chu Sisi said she had to accompany her mother to the Fahua Temple to burn incense, so she declined. Zhao Xing'er will be there on time."

"Okay, you do this..."

Shen Qingqian explained her plan to Zhizhu in detail. After hearing it, Zhiqing thought that this method was very good, but when he thought that Zhizhu was almost killed, he felt that this was not enough to vent his anger.

"Girl, this method is good, but the damage it causes to them is still too light."

Shen Qingqian said: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. I have other plans later."

After the educated youth left, Shen Qingqian took out paper and pen and started writing, imitating the handwriting of Dong Yurou and Zhao Xinger.

Shen Qingqian's calligraphy was very poor before, but after practicing for a period of time under the guidance of Master Zhou, not only did his handwriting become much better than before, but he also learned the copying technique very well.

The next morning, Dong Yurou and Zhao Xing'er each took a carriage to Mingxiang Teahouse. After they got on, the driver parked the carriage in the backyard.

In the private room on the second floor, as soon as Dong Yurou and Zhao Xinger sat down, a waiter brought them tea and snacks.

Dong Yurou picked up a piece of dessert, tasted it elegantly, and said, "The desserts at Mingxiang Teahouse are really delicious. I've been missing them for a few days and I'm starting to get cravings."

Zhao Xinger said, "If Sister Dong likes it, why not bring the pastry chef here back home so that he can make it for Sister every day."

Dong Yurou touched the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Forget it. It's easy to get tired of eating it every day."

"Yeah, that's true." Zhao Xing'er agreed.

"Oh, Sister Dong, Sister Sisi went to Fahua Temple yesterday and said she would stay there for two days before coming back. Why don't we go there tomorrow too?"

Dong Yurou said, "I'd better not go. The Southern Border Army will return to the capital the day after tomorrow. I want to go to the streets to see what's going on."

Zhao Xing'er said, "Okay then, I'll go out with Sister Dong the day after tomorrow."

The two chatted for a while, and when they had almost finished their tea and snacks, they got up and left.

After they left, the waiter brought out the tea tray and teapot. When he passed by the private room next door, he whispered to another waiter standing at the door: "Brother, guess what I heard the two girls who just left said in the private room?"

Another guy looked gossipy and asked, "Tell me what it was about?"

The waiter leaned close to him and whispered something. The other waiter's face changed after hearing it. He asked in surprise, "Is this true? Is there such a thing?"

The guy said mysteriously, "That's what they said. I heard it clearly. You can't tell anyone, or you'll get into trouble."

After saying that, the waiter went downstairs with the tray, while the other waiter immediately went to find other waiters to share gossip.

Dong Yurou and Zhao Xing'er left the teahouse, and the carriage was already waiting at the door. They got in their carriages and left, not knowing that there was an extra bag on the top of their carriages.

Dong Yurou's carriage had only gone a few steps when the bundle on the roof slipped down, and the bundle spread out, with pieces of paper fluttering in the wind and flying all over the sky.

Zhao Xing'er is in a similar situation.

A passerby picked it up and examined it, and found that there were not only words on the paper, but also a copper plate sewn with thread.

This attracted attention. This was a coin falling from the sky! Soon, passers-by began to pick up the paper crazily. The content written on the paper was also quickly spread.

Within half a day, people in the streets of the capital were privately discussing one thing, which was that the third princess was born with a bad luck and had a difficult fate. Her fiancé, General Yang Sheng, died before she even got married.

Although it was discussed secretly, the rumor spread everywhere, including teahouses, taverns, and street corners.

"Have you heard? The current third princess has a destiny of being a star of misfortune. People with this destiny are more likely to be harmed by the people they are closest to."

"Are you talking about the death of the Third Princess's fiancé, General Yang? I think that's just a rumor. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. What does that have to do with the Third Princess?"

"You don't know this! In fact, we have always won battles in the southern border, but in the last battle before the army returned to the capital, General Yang died on the battlefield."

"Yes, yes. I also heard that before General Yang went to the battle, Madam Yang went to the Fahua Temple outside the city to pray for blessings and drew lots. The master of the Fahua Temple said that General Yang's marriage was not a good one. Now that I think about it, this sentence is full of deep meaning."

"Well, do you remember the third prince? He was the third princess's biological brother, and he died of illness when he was twelve years old. I heard that the third prince and the third princess were incompatible."

"According to this statement, the Third Prince might have been killed by the Third Princess."

"It's not a possibility, it's a fact! I also heard that when the imperial concubine gave birth to the third princess, she was actually pregnant with twins, two girls, but the other one died at birth, and only the third princess survived. What else could this be but the third princess's unlucky death?"

"Who said it wasn't true? Now her fiancé is dead. The Third Princess is just very lucky!"

"Stop talking! If you spread rumors about the princess, you will be thrown into prison. You might even get beheaded!"

Even so, the rumor still spread. If one or two people said something like this, they might be arrested, but with tens of thousands of people spreading it, it would be impossible for the government to arrest everyone!

This was indeed the case. When the rumor reached the ears of Concubine Dong and the Third Princess, they were both furious! Concubine Dong smashed the teacup fiercely.

"Go and investigate for me! If you find out who spread the rumor, bring him to me and I will deal with him personally!"

When the servants heard the order, they did not dare to delay and hurried to do it.
