After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

"Brother Lingzhou?"

Ke Xin frowned tightly.

"Xingchen didn't expect this either, right?" Ke Ming asked.

Ke Xin shook his head, thought for a moment, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Could it be the thing that Brother Jihua mentioned last time?"

“It’s not impossible.”

Ke Ming sighed: "There's nothing I can do about it. My second brother doesn't trust me."

Ke Xin said calmly, "So what Brother Jihua means is that it is very likely that Brother Lingzhou was the one who told General Liang the truth about Liang Xi's death?"

Ke Ming just smiled bitterly and said nothing, which meant he agreed.

Ke Xin couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lingzhou, what is this for?"

Ke Ming looked at him with a deep gaze: "What else can he want? He is sure that the reason why his little cousin is addicted to gambling is because of me. Isn't that right? He is trying to stir up a conflict between General Liang and Yu Hou, so that we can have an internal conflict and let him take advantage of the situation."

He chuckled and shook his head: "That's probably the reason."

"But Yu Hou's daughter did poison General Liang's son. This cannot be false." Ke Xin looked confused.

Ke Ming paused and said, "Xingchen, think about it this way. If my second brother had not told General Liang the truth, would there be a rift between General Liang and Yu Hou? If there was a rift, how could the two of them still work together in the future?"

Ke Xin nodded: "This is naturally because his mind is not in the same place."

"So, is this a waste of time, second brother?" Ke Ming asked.

Ke Xin answered yes as he meant.

He was thinking too much. Yu Lingling poisoned Liang Yu by herself, and it had nothing to do with others. Logically speaking, one life for another is the fairest. However, now that the truth has been exposed, Ke Ming is thinking about how to conceal it. It can be seen that he is also a person who will do anything to achieve his goal. Ke Ming only cares about the result.

He sighed inwardly.

I was indeed terribly blind in the past. How could I have mistaken the person in front of me as such an elegant and noble person?

"As Brother Jihua saw, it must be Brother Lingzhou who did it on purpose. Although the truth he revealed is true, if the truth is not known, it will be more beneficial than harmful to Brother Jihua. I think Brother Lingzhou wanted to alienate the relationship between General Liang and Yu Hou. He was afraid that Brother Jihua would suppress him."

After Ke Xin finished speaking, he added, "He is indeed despicable. Brother Jihua, you don't have to show mercy."

Ke Ming smiled and said, "Xingchen, what do you think is the best way to do this?"

Ke Xin expressed his opinion directly: "How can my brain be as good as Brother Jihua's? Naturally, I just do whatever Brother Jihua says."

"Xingchen, have some tea." Ke Ming poured tea for him.

Ke Xin: "Thank you, Brother Jihua."

……

An uninvited guest came to Prince Ren's palace.

Wenhui asked Nanny Wen to take the person to the main hall, and sent Bai Shao to the new garden to talk to Shang Tingli and told her to stay in the new garden with peace of mind.

Yu Jing did not come alone, but with Pan Yaying. When he saw Wenhui, he told her why he came, saying that he wanted to see his niece.

Wenhui refused directly.

She said, "The Crown Prince's wife caught a cold today and has gone to bed. If you have any questions, why not tell me? Maybe I can help."

Pan Yaying muttered, "How could it be such a coincidence? Is this an excuse?"

Wen Hui looked at her with a smile: "What did Madam Hou say?"

Pan Yaying asked awkwardly, "Did the Crown Prince's Consort really catch a cold?"

"How could it be false?" Wen Hui looked gentle with a smile on her lips.

"Princess, I don't doubt you—"

Pan Yaying looked at her expression and saw that she was not angry, so she felt a little relieved and continued, "The main thing is, I heard that the Crown Prince's Consort went to the Dali Temple at Chenshi?"

The meaning of her words was very obvious, and anyone could see that she was suspecting Wenhui of lying.

How could a person who had just left the house at noon catch a cold in the afternoon? How could such a coincidence happen?

Wenhui said: "It was then that the Crown Princess caught a cold."

These words left Pan Yaying speechless.

Yu Jing spoke up at this time: "It's like this. To be honest with you, Princess, we came here at this hour to see the Crown Prince's Consort. It's actually for my disappointing second daughter, who is also the Crown Prince's Consort's second cousin."

"Her second cousin suffered..."

Wenhui interrupted him with a smile: "I have heard about this matter too. I didn't expect that a man as kind as you, Marquis Yizhong, would raise such an ignorant girl."

Yu Jing choked.

After a while, he said shamelessly: "Princess, you don't know, my second daughter is not such a mean person, she must have been framed by a villain."

Wen Hui laughed out loud: "Really?"

Yu Jing nodded reluctantly.

"But I heard that this matter was planned by your second girl from beginning to end? Could it be that someone spread false information?" Wenhui said.

Yu Jing didn't dare to nod and remained silent in embarrassment.

Wenhui also remained silent. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, making Yu Jing and his wife feel depressed.

After a while, Wen Hui suddenly said, "I wonder what kind of mentality you had when you stepped into the gate of Prince Ren's mansion, Lord Yu?"

Yu Jing stared with wide eyes: "What do you mean, Princess?"

"There is no wall that is impenetrable. What do you think I mean, Yu Hou?" Wen Hui asked back.

Yu Jing and Pan Yaying looked at each other, both with shock in their eyes, and a sense of panic arose in addition to surprise.

Could it be that all their past actions have been thoroughly investigated by Princess Ren?

"I won't play dumb with you. I'm sure you know the answer yourself."

Wen Hui spoke frankly, "I can let bygones be bygones for what happened in the past. However, in the days ahead, I hope that Lord Yu and his wife will remember that it is best not to force you to do something you never did before."

If you did not fulfill your responsibilities as an uncle and aunt in the past, there is no need to ask Shang Tingli to fulfill her obligations as a niece in the future.

Wenhui spoke clearly, and Yu Jing and Pan Yaying also heard it clearly.

The couple didn't know how they walked out of the gate of Prince Ren's Palace, but the moment the gate closed, there was a hint of trance in their eyes.

They were driven out by the princess.

After getting on the carriage back to the mansion, Pan Yaying couldn't help but complain, "I told you that he was an ungrateful person, but you didn't believe me. Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, have you given up?"

Yu Jing held his forehead in annoyance.

Pan Yaying couldn't help but say, "I don't believe that the princess has the time to look into the past. It must be that damn girl who gave me a look in front of the princess."

Her jealousy was palpable.

"What a lucky guy."

"Alright, alright, tell me, what's the point of saying this now?"

"Master?" Pan Yaying was surprised.

Yu Jing closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Don't you know best how my sister got to where she is today?"

Pan Yaying shut up.

Who knows what was going through her daughter's mind at the time?

Why would she not marry a good prince, but marry a poor and hopeless guard?

It was said that he would be promoted to the fourth rank of General Zhengbei in a short time, but what happened? Not even a shadow of him was seen.

Thinking of this, Pan Yaying felt a little resentful towards her daughter. If her daughter hadn't done such unreliable things, how could that damn girl dare to be so arrogant? If she was in the past, it would be as easy to pinch her as to pinch an ant.

"Is that the end of it?"

Pan Yaying was by no means standing up for Yu Lingling. To be honest, she was quite happy with Yu Lingling's current fate.

She simply couldn't bear to see Shang Tingli living a good life, and always wanted to pull him down from his high position. In short, no one could live better than her daughter.

Yu Jing's eyes flashed with cruelty: "Of course we can't just let it go like this."

……

In the evening, the world is vast and quiet.

Cai He hurried back to Xinyuan, found Shang Tingli, and reported: "Princess, I don't know what's going on. People outside are saying that you are an ungrateful person."

Before Shang Tingli could say anything, Gan Tang was furious: "Hey, where did this rumor come from?"

Fang Zhi pulled her and said, "Listen to Shehe first."

Gan Tang then stopped scolding and stared at She He with his eyes open.

Shepherd's purse: "..."

Shang Tingli looked at Cai He as he was told: "Tell me, what is the rumor out there?"

"Yes."

She He reported truthfully: "What I heard was——"

"Now that you are the Crown Prince's Consort, you look down on your uncle's family. It is already difficult for your uncle and aunt to see you. Not only can they not see you, but you also have to endure the ridicule of your maid. You are now determined not to recognize your uncle's family."

"So, now everyone outside is calling you an ungrateful person, saying that the good intentions of the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion were not rewarded, and that the world is fickle and so on."

Shehe added: "These are all insults from outside."

Shang Tingli gave Gan Tang a look, then said to She He, "I understand. You go down first."

Shehe took the five gold leaves handed to her by Gan Tang, bowed, and then stepped back.

Gan Tang was furious: "Princess, did you hear what Cai He said? When did we servants show off in front of them? How could you not see them? It was obvious that you listened to the Marquis' instructions every time, and you also did a good job of pretending to be nice to him. When did you not recognize your uncle's family? If you don't recognize your uncle's family, why did you go to support Miss Lingling? Throughout history, how many people can be a niece like you?"

She was so mad, what an ungrateful family!

How could Madam have such a family?

What are the grievances that the Crown Prince's Consort suffered in the Yu family? Is it considered that the Crown Prince's Consort has suffered the most misfortune in her eight lifetimes?

Fang Zhi was also very angry: "If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in Nanwu and lived my own life."

She thought that even Madam Lian had not expected that the Yu family could be so excessive.

Shang Tingli already had a plan in his mind, so he was not as angry as the two girls. Perhaps it was because he had no expectations, so he would not be disappointed, let alone angry or not.

She comforted the two maids for a while, and then said, "Investigate this matter thoroughly to see if it is a rumor spread by the Yu family."

Shang Tingli paused for a moment and continued, "If that's the case, we can turn our past lives into a play and sell it to Fengtinglou to perform. When the time is right, we can reverse the rumor."

Fang Zhi's eyes lit up: "This idea of ​​the Crown Prince's Consort is brilliant!"

"It's just gossip. There's nothing to be angry about." Shang Tingli smiled. "If they can use rumors to ruin my reputation, why can't I?"

……

Two days later, everyone in the capital city had heard of this drama.

——An orphan girl from Jiangnan went to Beijing to seek refuge with her uncle. She thought her uncle was a living Buddha, but it turned out to be the King of Hell. The life she led at her uncle's house was not as comfortable as that of a maid. Her uncle didn't care about her and she lived in a deserted yard. Her aunt didn't like her and held the dowry left by her late mother in her aunt's hands. She had no choice but to listen to her aunt and was hastily promised a marriage to a low-class family. Her sisters bullied her and teased her all day long.

More than five years of such bitter life passed, and in the early summer of the sixth year, something happened by chance. Originally, they had each arranged a marriage, but the cousin wanted to swap the marriage with the cousin, and the cousin Jiangnan girl had no right to say no.

I thought that as long as I got married and moved into my husband's family, the life of a Jiangnan girl would be better. However, I didn't expect that my uncle's family would turn the tables on me for no reason and say that Jiangnan girls are ungrateful and impossible to tame.

...Then the song was "The Bitter Tears of a Jiangnan Woman".

——Such a straightforward excerpt from the play is hard not to remind people of the recent rumors. Everyone who listened to the play cursed the uncle's family for being shameless.

For a time, word of mouth began to reverse. Some people felt that the rumors about Prince Ren's wife were one-sided. Who knew if it was like the drama, that the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion was unkind first?

When the wind began to change, Shang Tingli asked Gan Tang to spread some rumors - the truth about Yu Lingling's poisoning of Liang Xi, and the real purpose of Yu Jing and Pan Yaying going to Prince Ren's Mansion. She said that she was powerless and that Yu Jing failed to force her and became angry and slandered her niece.

This time, the direction of the recent rumors in Shangjing City has been completely reversed.

It turns out that it wasn't that the Crown Princess of Prince Ren was unkind, but that the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion was too abominable.

When Yu Jing heard about this, he was so angry that he had a tantrum in his study.

After calming down, he said to his confidant, "Go to Prince Ren's mansion and call that ungrateful wolf over!"

The confidant went out empty-handed and returned empty-handed, but he did bring back two sentences: "My cousin's original words were, Uncle, haven't you heard it? You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

Yu Jing was so angry that he almost died.

Yu Jing cursed: "Good, good, very good! Just like her lowly mother, she doesn't even care about me as her uncle! If I had known that she would come to me begging for help, I should have closed the door and not even left a dog hole for her!"
