The passers-by are vicious

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I just happen to be free and have nothing to do. I can just chat with you about those interesting things in the capital!"

The Shangshu's wife smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly, her words full of enthusiasm and intimacy.

She seemed to be completely unaware of the implicit rejection in Jiang Wanwan's words.

Jiang Wanwan felt a little annoyed and secretly cursed the other party for being a brainless fool who couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Helpless, she could only smile perfunctorily. The Shangshu Fu’s wife’s eyebrows fluttered on her chubby face as she kept talking to Jiang Wanwan about the wife of the Marquis of Guanjun.

“I heard that when she was fished out of the water, her face was as pale as death.”

Although her tone was a little lamentative, it was not hard to tell that she was just watching the fun.

Jiang Wanwan was a little surprised: "It's so serious."

She didn't expect Rong Yuling to be so decisive, but at the same time she became more defensive.

"That's right. A lady of the marquis actually got into an argument with a little girl named Yuling. First she pushed her into the water, and then she was stupid enough to fall into the lake herself."

"I think it's her own fault that she's in a coma now." Perhaps to please the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Shangshu's wife covered her mouth in an exaggerated tone.

Upon hearing the Shangshu's wife say that the wife of the Marquis of Guanjun was stupid, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but shake her head in her heart. How could this fool call others stupid?

The life or death of Guanjun Hou is unknown now. Regardless of whether she fell into the lake because of a dispute with Rong Yuling, she is still the marquis' wife.

But the Shangshu's wife had the audacity to say in public that the Marquis' wife had brought all this upon herself. Wasn't this a slap in the face of the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion?

Sighing in her heart, Jiang Wanwan just smiled and did not agree.

He just watched the Shangshu's wife chattering on and on about the gossip of various families in the capital in front of him, raising her voice from time to time, fearing that others couldn't hear her.

"I remember a big scandal happened in Beijing two years ago..."

"Oh? What scandal?" Jiang Wanwan suddenly became curious.

Seeing that Jiang Wanwan was interested, the Shangshu's wife spoke even more excitedly.

"I heard that Concubine Xu was caught having an affair with a guard, and the emperor almost sentenced her to death. It was only because the crown prince begged for mercy that she was only banished to the cold palace."

Concubine Hu is the cousin of the late queen and the cousin of the prince.

It was after the Queen's death that the Queen's mother's family deliberately supported the Crown Prince in order to avoid the shaking of the Crown Prince's position.

Jiang Wanwan never expected that there would be such a scandal in the royal family. Looking at the Shangshu's wife who seemed to be completely unaware and continued to talk nonsense, she felt that she was not only stupid, but also a bit cruel.

However, the Shangshu's wife did not shy away from it, and her tone was a little excited: "Unexpectedly, within a few days, the situation would be reversed."

Just when Jiang Wanwan was wondering if Concubine Xu was framed innocently.

"The person who had an affair with Concubine Xu was not a guard, but the eldest prince."

As soon as the Shangshu's wife finished speaking, Jiang Wanwan's face changed slightly. This matter actually involved such a scandal as the prince having an affair with a concubine. The palace must have banned others from discussing it.

She knew that the Shangshu's wife was so stupid that she didn't even think of discussing the royal scandal so bluntly. She must be a fool.

He even dared to discuss the royal scandal with me openly. He was afraid that he would be blamed and would not be implicated.

Before Jiang Wanwan could speak, Ying'er had already warned the maids and servants around her not to spread what happened today.

When she thought about the punishment she would receive if the news got to the palace, Jiang Wanwan could not care about anything else and could not help but slam the table and curse, "You stupid woman, how can we discuss the affairs of the royal family? Shut up now."

Jiang Wanwan stood up and said angrily, "I consider you a good friend. You came here today just to harm me."

After saying this, without waiting for the Shangshu's wife to explain, she waved her sleeves and said, "Why don't you leave quickly? Just pretend you haven't been here today."

At this time, the Shangshu's wife also realized that she dared to criticize the royal scandal and was afraid that she would be blamed, so she forgot the purpose of her visit today and had to cover her face and leave in a hurry.

Seeing her leave, Jiang Wanwan returned to his chair and said in a deep voice, "Don't reveal a single word about what happened today. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished."

When the maids and servants in the courtyard heard this, they all looked frightened and responded quickly.

Although Jiang Wanwan has not severely punished the servants since she took over the family affairs, everyone knows that she manages the household affairs very strictly.

Even a young lady like Rong Yuling has suffered losses at her hands many times.

Thinking of this, the maids became even more terrified and did not dare to tell anyone about it.

"Why are you so angry?"

Rong Cheng walked into the yard and saw the atmosphere, and couldn't help but ask a question.

Jiang Wanwan, who was sitting on a chair, looked worried: "The Shangshu's wife came to chat with me today, and she mentioned one thing that made me a little scared."

Although she is the head of the Rong Mansion now, Jiang Wanwan doesn't believe that Rong Cheng will really not care about anything.

She did not hide the fact that the Shangshu's wife had come. After all, it could not be concealed. It would be better to tell it out loud, which would win the man's favor.

After all, no husband doesn't like his wife to be honest with him, and Rong Cheng is definitely no exception.

"It's about the palace..." Jiang Wanwan didn't say it directly but glanced at Rong Cheng implicitly.

"Old things, in the palace...you talked about Concubine Xu."

Rong Cheng sat down next to Jiang Wanwan and picked up the new teacup on the table. There didn't seem to be any surprise on his gentle face.

"My husband is smart."

"The minister's wife had discussed this matter with others before, causing Minister Lin to be reprimanded by the emperor. How dare she even talk about it with others?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan nervously grabbed Rong Cheng's sleeve and said, "Well...if she told me about it today, will you get scolded?"

"If I had known she was going to tell me all this, I wouldn't even let her in." Jiang Wanwan frowned with a worried look on her face, seeming to be regretting it.

Rong Cheng smiled and brushed her tightly knitted brows, his tone relaxed and casual, "She wanted to tell you, what does it have to do with you. Don't be afraid, if there is any problem, your husband will take care of it, you don't have to be so cautious."

He knew that Jiang Wanwan was always cautious, but he didn't want to see her being so cautious.

Since he is already her husband, he naturally has to stand in front of her and support her.

What's more, even if the government really blamed him, he could just do more government work to make up for it.

Anyway, he is now the prime minister and has no higher official position than the one he can be given, so there is no need to feel so wronged.

What's more, the affair between the eldest prince and Concubine Xu was known to everyone among the officials and their wives in the capital.

There is nothing that cannot be said.
