Chapter 231 The Powers Behind the Flower God Chapter

The next day.

Yan Yiyi slept in and didn't get up for breakfast. When she got up, it was already past ten in the morning, not yet time for lunch. However, the kitchen was busy preparing food, so there were not many choices of food. So, she directly took a sandwich from the space to fill her stomach.

"Aye, is there any new information about yesterday's stage accident? Will the candidates for the Flower Goddess Festival be announced tonight?"

“The stage has been destroyed, there will be no more activities tonight, and the government will directly post a notice of the final winners.

The stage accident has been determined to be man-made, but it has not yet been determined who caused it.

But compared to these, some rumors suddenly spread this morning, and I think someone was deliberately doing it. "

"Oh? What rumor?"

"Last night, the eldest daughter of the Xia family fell into the water and was rescued by a man. This was witnessed by all the people present. The fact that the eldest daughter of the Xia family had physical contact with a prostitute was widely publicized.

At the same time, they put the blame on the eldest daughter of the Xia family for the stage collapse, saying that she had brought a man, an immoral man, onto the stage without permission, defiling the purity of the flower god, and that the stage collapse was caused by the flower god's anger.

"Huh? Didn't they say that the stage accident was definitely man-made?"

"Yes, but this is new information found by the government and has not been announced to the public. This information is the result of the secret guards' own investigation."

“How do we determine that it is man-made?”

"The pillars supporting the stage were tampered with in advance. At first, we were not sure who the criminal was targeting. With the rumors this morning and the fact that the victim yesterday was the eldest daughter of the Xia family, we speculated that the target was the eldest daughter of the Xia family. The purpose is obvious."

"The other party doesn't want Miss Xia to become the envoy of this year's Flower God Festival?"

Xin Ye nodded: "The eldest lady of the Xia family is very popular and is a hot candidate for this year's Flower God Festival."

"So, the person behind the scenes is most likely the girl running for election this year, especially the other candidates? By the way, who are the candidates?"

"The third lady of the Lin family, the fourth lady of the Du family, the seventh lady of the Zhong family, and the eldest lady of the Ming family." Shen Ye named the ladies like a dish and added, "By the way, the third lady of the Lin family is the lady I met at the wonton stall last night. She is the cousin of the lady you checked her pulse and found she is in good health.

The eldest daughter of the Xia family is the sister-in-law of that lady, and her husband is the eldest son of the Xia family, who is also a brother of the eldest daughter of the Xia family."

After listening to this, Yan Yiyi asked, "Is it true that the famous Miss Ruan can't attend?"

"Yes, this year's new rule states that those who have been Flower God Festival Envoys for three consecutive years are no longer allowed to participate. Miss Ruan originally planned to continue participating, but because of this rule, she was not approved after signing up.

It is worth mentioning that the person who proposed this idea was the head of the Xia family, and it was only because the head of the Xia family and his friends strongly requested that the county magistrate agreed to change the rules. "

"What a coincidence!?" Yan Yiyi thought of the middle-aged man from yesterday. He seemed very domineering and strong at first, but he corrected his mistakes and became a reasonable person.

Moreover, this rule is quite reasonable. We can't let other girls always run by and serve as green leaves to set off a delicate flower, right?

For the people of Gaohuai County, obtaining the title of Flower God Messenger is comparable to the noble ladies in the capital competing for the title of the most talented woman. It is an honor that can enhance one's own value and make the future husband's family look up to them.

There has never been a person who has won such an honor for three consecutive years before, but the appearance of Miss Ruan has broken the balance of the years.

The point is, if Miss Ruan participates every time, she has a chance to win this honor every time. This means that other families that also have daughters to be married and need to improve their value through marriage cannot allow this to happen.

Who knows if without Miss Ruan, there will be Miss Wang or Miss Li who will also win honors consecutively in the future?

The reason why it was set at three years instead of two years is because Miss Ruan has successfully obtained the title of Flower God Messenger for three consecutive years. With her as a precedent, her excellent historical achievements cannot be directly erased. After all, the Ruan family is not a small family that can be easily controlled.

But three years is a long time, and for an unmarried girl, these three years are very important!

They don't have many three-year periods of youth to squander, and married people are not allowed to take part in the competition, so from the age of twelve to eighteen, they only have two three-year periods.

Xin Ye continued, "Gaohuai County is so small, and there are only a few wealthy and powerful families. It is normal for families to have in-laws.

By the way, although all unmarried girls can participate in the competition, there are talent shows every year. How can a girl from a poor family have any talent?

Therefore, few girls from ordinary people participated in the competition, and those who did were quickly eliminated, and in the end it became a fight between these wealthy and powerful families."

Yan Yiyi curled her lips, a hint of mockery flashed across her lips: It turns out that this Flower God Festival is a gimmick created by those people to increase the value of their own women who are about to get married, so as to achieve the purpose of marriage and earn more profits.

"Oh, yes, that lady... is the eldest lady of the Lin family. The eldest lady of the Xia family was once the envoy of the Flower God Festival. Although she was not as popular as the current eldest lady of the Ruan family, she was not bad either."

Speaking of them, Xin Ye remembered the agreement his wife had made with them yesterday: "Wife, do you think the eldest son of the Xia family will come to the inn to have your pulse checked?"

"I don't know." Yan Yiyi answered very straightforwardly.

Xin Ye raised his eyebrows: "Prediction?"

Yan Yiyi raised an eyebrow in response: "Do you have any relevant information?"

"Hmm~"

Yan Yiyi spread his hands and said, "I don't know what kind of person that young master is. Why do you want me to guess? Why don't you tell me his information?"

"Tell you, you didn't guess it right away~"

"Then I won't guess anymore." Yan Yiyi said she had no interest and didn't want to play anymore.

Xin Ye couldn't help laughing when he saw his wife's proud little look. He rubbed his wife's cute little head, then used his hands as a comb to comb her hair while telling Yan Yiyi the news he knew.

"The eldest young master of the Xia family and the eldest young lady of the Lin family have been married for five years. The eldest young lady of the Lin family has never been pregnant, but the eldest young master of the Xia family's two concubines have given birth to children, two girls, one three years old and the other one and a half years old."

"The eldest young master of the Xia family has a child?" Yan Yiyi was a little surprised, "Then why didn't they say that he had already had a child when I said yesterday that it might be because of the man?

Moreover, the ages of the two children clearly indicate that they were born after he married Miss Lin, but Miss Lin has no health problems and has never had a miscarriage. Could it be that she is not meant to have children?"

Xin Ye shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know. These were private matters in the inner house and he couldn't find out much in one morning.
