The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

After returning from Coconut Island, Su Weixi has been staying at home and not going out.

It is not known whether the things that Mr. Fu and Su's father Xiao Yi were busy with had any results or had already been successful. Now that they have some free time, they naturally start teaching An An and Ning Ning again.

While the two little ones were in class, Su Weixi refused to go out. Wang Yingying had also traveled all over Qiongzhou City and rarely went out except for occasionally going out for horse racing.

Also because Wang Yingying went out of town to ride horses from time to time, many families in the city knew that Wang Yingying was Xiao Yi's cousin.

This cousin came all the way to visit her cousin. Although she was not staying at the General Zhennan's Mansion but was staying at the Su's house, she couldn't help but have some associations flying around.

In particular, Xiao Yi is the ideal husband for many unmarried girls in the city.

I don't know when a rumor started spreading in the city.

It is said that Wang Yingying came all the way to Qiongzhou City to marry Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi didn't like her, so he abandoned her in the Su family.

What's worse, they even said that Wang Yingying knew that her cousin didn't like her, but liked Princess An Ning. That's why Wang Yingying lived in the Su family just to be able to compete with her love rival up close.

As for why some people speculated that Xiao Yi liked Su Weixi, it was mainly because Xiao Yi usually did not go to other houses except for official business. However, he often came in and out of the Su family, and they were seen getting on and off the boat when they went out to sea.

There was little gossip in ancient times, so once these rumors and speculations were spread, they would spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and as time went by, all kinds of versions appeared.

The reason why Su Weixi knew so much was naturally because Su Ma went out to play mahjong and her mahjong friends revealed it to her.

After all, who says that other families don't hide their affairs from others? And with the Su family's status, no one would come forward to ask whether it was true or not. But the relationship between Su Ma and her friends was not in vain, so naturally someone would remind Su Ma.

.......

Su Family Garden.

"Sister Su, do you think these people are brainless? How can they come up with such outrageous guesses?"

"You actually said that I admire my cousin? I am sick. He is the person I am most afraid of since I was a child."

Wang Yingying grumbled indignantly while gnawing at the pork jerky in her hand viciously.

Su Weixi, one of the protagonists of the rumor, was lazily lying on a recliner. He did not show any emotional ups and downs about what Wang Yingying said. He even had time to slowly eat melon seeds.

"Oh, Sister Su! Aren't you anxious? They're talking about you!"

"It's just what people say. It's not true anyway. If you get impatient, they will want to laugh at you even more."

"Yeah." Wang Yingying also reacted at this time. Suddenly, she didn't think it was a big deal, and followed Su Weixi's example and lay down to spend a leisurely afternoon.

However, Su Weixi and the other person didn't care about it, but some people did care about this issue.

"General, the things sent from the capital have arrived."

Xiao Yi was handling official business when he heard Wu Wei's report. Without even raising his head, he said, "Send someone... Forget it, you arrange it, and I'll personally send it over in half an hour."

The things sent from the capital were prepared by the Wang family and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Some of them were sent to Wang Yingying, after all, she was raised and raised by the family, and they were afraid that she would not adapt to Qiongzhou Island. Some of them were sent to the Su family, because the Su family let Wang Yingying stay temporarily.

Xiao Yi thought that he happened to have some free time, so he went to the Su family in person to deliver the things. He also reminded his overly lively cousin to be careful not to cause trouble.

When Wu Wei heard Xiao Yi's order, he did not have the same motivation to act as before. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yi as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Yi, who was busy with his work and didn't hear the noise, noticed it. He looked up and saw Wu Wei frowning, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"General, how about letting your subordinates deliver it?"

It was rare to see Wu Wei interfering with his decision. Xiao Yi put down the brush in his hand and looked at Wu Wei curiously: "Oh? Why?"

Wu Wei pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.

Xiao Yi was almost laughing out of anger. Wu Wei was really too abnormal today. His eyes gradually became fierce.

Wu Wei couldn't bear the pressure from Xiao Yi's gaze, so he told Xiao Yi the rumors circulating in the city recently.

"That's right. I have already sent people to investigate the source of the rumor, but there is no clue yet."

"So, you don't want me to visit the Su family to prevent the rumors from spreading?"

"I know I was wrong." Wu Wei knelt on one knee and clasped his fists to apologize.

"Okay, go down. Find the source as soon as possible and suppress the rumor."

"Yes."

Wu Wei got the order and turned around to speed up the action. When he was about to step out of the door, he remembered something and turned around to ask, "Then will the general go to the Su family in person later?"

"Go. If you don't go, how can you lead out the person behind this?"

"Yes, I will go and make arrangements."

Xiao Yi went to the Su family in person in the afternoon. Not only did he go there in person, but he also went there in a grand manner, with several carriages following him. The curtains of the carriages were all drawn open. Anyone who saw it on the roadside could clearly see that there were many boxes on them.

After handing the things to Su Ma and Wang Yingying, Xiao Yi gave Wang Yingying a few more instructions and did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to the front yard to play chess with Mr. Fu for half a day.

.......

The study in the front yard of the Su family.

"Boy, why did you come to play chess with me today? Isn't the military camp busy?" Old Fu picked up a chess piece and asked casually.

"Sir, you are asking even though you already know the answer."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, you didn't care about these things before, why do you care so much this time?" Mr. Fu knew that there were many rumors about Xiao Yi in the capital before.

"Of course it's for the people I care about." When Xiao Yi heard Mr. Fu ask this, he told him his thoughts honestly.

"Oh? Is it for Yingying? Good, good. I think your grandfather will be very relieved to leave that girl to you."

"Sir, please stop teasing your students." Xiao Yi looked at Mr. Fu helplessly, and silently placed the white chess piece in his hand at a random position. Suddenly, the black chess piece had no chance of winning.

"You kid, you really don't want to suffer any loss." Mr. Fu threw the chess piece back into the box. "Does he know your feelings?"

"We'll find out eventually. Now is not the right time." After saying that, Xiao Yi stood up, bowed to Mr. Fu, and turned to leave.

When Xiao Yi left, it was almost dark.

The next day, there were new rumors in the city.

"Have you heard? General Xiao's cousin and Princess An Ning had a fight yesterday."

"I heard that General Xiao left the Su Mansion very late to deal with this matter."

Su Weixi: Wow, this is even better than the modern netizens who make up stories based on pictures.

Wu Wei successfully found the source of the rumor this time, which was a few hooligans on the street. However, they only said that they were paid by a woman to spread the rumor, and they did not know the other party's identity.

After Wu Wei interrogated them again and again, he was sure that the gangsters really didn't know who the other party was, so he sent them to the county government office. He informed Magistrate Ma about the matter, and Magistrate Ma immediately went to court to hear the case publicly.

Several hooligans told their stories one by one, saying that the rumors were all false. Magistrate Ma sentenced the hooligans to 20 strokes of the cane on the spot and ordered them to serve three years in the stone quarry.

It also stated that no one in the city would spread rumors about this matter anymore, and anyone who was reported would suffer the same fate as those thugs.

Then, on the surface, the rumor died down.

But it reminded Su Weixi of the previous incident with the Su family shop. Until now, Su's father and Xiao Yi have not found out the real mastermind behind it.

She felt that her family must have offended someone, which led to these two disasters.
