After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

"As the young lady's newly hired maid, I think it is necessary to tell you some things in advance so that you can adapt better here and avoid unnecessary shock. After all, we all work for the young lady, and only by taking care of each other can we better serve her."

Upon hearing this, Xifeng did not show any obvious signs of relaxation, but he remained highly alert in his heart: "If the young lady needs our cooperation, she will personally give the order. There are no instructions now, so you don't need to say more."

Zhao Lin frowned when he heard this, obviously not expecting Xifeng to have such a reaction.

He originally thought that he could easily win over this newcomer to be his pawn, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

He pursed his lips and quickly adjusted his strategy: "Miss, you have a point. I was not thoughtful enough. But since we are both working for the young lady, it is our duty to help each other."

"If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me."

After he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared from Xifeng's sight, leaving Xifeng alone with full of suspicion.

Xifeng returned to Cui Rongrong with the brewed tea and reported everything that had happened to her.

After hearing this, Cui Rongrong's lips curled up into a playful smile, while Xi Feng muttered quietly beside her: "That man is really weird. If the young lady has any instructions, she will naturally say it in person. How can he meddle in other people's business?"

"You handled it very well. If he comes looking for you again, just deal with him casually." Cui Rong emphasized, "Except for Caiyun and Tianlang, I will not let anyone else pass on the order."

Xifeng nodded seriously, indicating that she had memorized it in her heart: "I understand!"

After getting Cui Rongrong's affirmation, Xifeng withdrew respectfully.

However, after breakfast the next day, when Cui Rong was chatting and laughing with Cui Yunhe and her sisters, Caiyun rushed in hurriedly. When she saw Xifeng standing behind Cui Rong, her expression suddenly became complicated.

Cui Rongrong keenly caught this change, and asked with some concern in her tone: "Caiyun, what happened?"

Caiyun's tone was filled with worries that were difficult to conceal. She hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to slowly open her mouth and tell what she had heard while out shopping: "I caught a few scattered gossips in the market. The content was about you, Miss. It was said that you left the bustling brothel hand in hand with two strange men two days ago... What's more, some people mentioned that Young Master Xifeng was of humble origin, and their words were full of contempt..."

"Along the way, I found that such false words are getting more and more intense. Every street corner and every teahouse has become a hotbed of these rumors. Your reputation has been ruthlessly tarnished by these groundless words. The situation is critical. What should we do?" Caiyun frowned, her eyes full of anxiety.

Cui Yunhe was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she turned her eyes anxiously to Cui Rong and asked with a trembling voice: "How could there be such a ridiculous rumor? Sister, we must think of a way to clear up this unjust injustice!"

Cui Rongrong's face was calm: "We must not act rashly on this matter. If we directly come forward to refute it, it will only play into the hands of those with ulterior motives. By then, even if we jump into the Yellow River, we will not be able to wash away this undeserved stigma!"

She clenched her fists quietly, and her mind suddenly became clear. She finally understood what kind of long-term planning was hidden behind Zhao Xianer's meaningful look that day.

It turns out that Zhao Xianer had already placed the chess pieces in this game!

Thinking of this, Cui Rong couldn't help but take a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the waves in her heart and forcing herself to calm down.

She knew very well that it was not easy to prove that she had never set foot in the Luoxian Tower.

Lin Yuanming and Zhang Wen's whereabouts have been witnessed by everyone, and their high-profile performance in the Luoxianyuan incident has long made them the focus of countless eyes.

Even if she had thousands of reasons to refute it, she could not withstand the pressure of public opinion.

Xifeng looked at Cui Rongrong, who was full of sorrow, and blamed herself in her heart. She unconsciously clenched her fists and said, "All this is caused by me. I have implicated the young lady... If I can save the young lady's reputation with my life, I am willing to go there immediately and bear all the consequences!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xifeng was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by Cui Rongrong.

"This will only be a futile sacrifice. They will only make a big fuss about it, saying that you chose extremes because you could not bear the humiliation. This will only make the situation worse." Cui Rongrong's voice was soft but firm.

Xifeng's face became paler and paler, his eyes were full of confusion and helplessness: "Then...then what should we do?"

Faced with this sudden dilemma, Cui Rong remained silent. It was obvious that the solution was not easy.

Just as the three of them were lost in thought, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the doorman's hasty announcement: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Cui Yunhe was surprised and asked in confusion, "Why is His Royal Highness visiting at this time?"

Cui Rongrong already had a plan in mind, and she knew that Song Yanyi must have come here to make his position clear.

She stood up expressionlessly, and Cui Yunhe asked softly: "Sister, are you going to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Cui Rong nodded gently and said, "I'll be back soon."

Then, carrying Xifeng, he left the yard with firm steps.

As he stepped into the front yard, Song Yanyi's figure suddenly came into view. Seeing her coming, he quickly stood up and said with concern: "As soon as I heard about those rumors, I rushed here immediately. Please rest assured, no matter what the outside world says, I will always stand by you."

"I have already started to deal with this matter and will calm down this storm as soon as possible. I will take full responsibility for everything."

Song Yanyi's eyes were full of affection, but Cui Rongrong seemed unusually calm, and there was even a hint of imperceptible disgust flashing in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes and responded indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Those are just nonsense. I don't take them to heart. The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. The truth is in people's hearts."

"It's just a small matter. Your Highness, don't worry about it. I can handle it myself."

Faced with Cui Rong's usual distant attitude, Song Yanyi felt secretly annoyed.

In his previous life, he only needed to show some appreciation and Cui Rong would be willing to give everything for him. But now, even though he treated her with such devotion, he couldn't get even a bit of tenderness from her!

Just when Song Yanyi was about to say something, Zhao Xianer rushed in, breaking the delicate atmosphere.

"Sister Cui, are you okay?" she asked with concern.

Cui Rong immediately came up with a plan. Since direct rebuttal was useless, why not use more massive rumors to cover up the truth?

When Zhao Xian'er saw Song Yanyi, she was stunned involuntarily. When she came to her senses, there was a bit more complexity and resentment in her eyes when she looked at Cui Rongrong.
