Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Chapter 327: A Big Trouble at the Birthday Banquet

However, some people don't believe it, "Could this wine be fake? No one has ever successfully brewed this pine needle wine."

As for the female members, Meng Shiwei, the second daughter of the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Works, said in a deep voice: "I heard before that the Jinling Restaurant in Taohua County once hosted a literary gathering, and the prize was this jar of pine needle wine, but I heard that the person who got this jar of wine was a boy."

Sheng Jinxin, the second daughter of the Censorate, also interjected: "I know that it was Su Yu from the Su family in the capital who won the wine, but how did it end up in the hands of Miss Chen San?"

When they said this, some people started gossiping, "It seems that Su Yu and Miss Chen San have a very close relationship. She even gave away such a rare and good wine."

For a moment, the direction of everyone's discussion changed. Instead of praising Chen Manli for her filial piety, they discussed the relationship between Miss Chen San and Su Yu.

As Chen Manli listened to the increasingly biased talk, her expression became worse and worse. She glanced at the Crown Prince Zhou Yao anxiously, and sure enough, his face was extremely dark.

Chen Manli was both angry and anxious. This damn Su Yu, she had already broken off the engagement with him, but she could still be involved with him. When the prince knew that she had been engaged to that idiot Su Yu, he would despise her. What should she do?

At this moment, Xue Tao said loudly: "How could Su Yu, that uneducated idiot, who is ugly and loves to visit brothels, have any relationship with Miss Chen San?"

After saying this, a hint of exaggerated pride appeared on her face. She helped Chen Manli this time, so Brother Xiaosheng should at least be kind to her.

As soon as she said this, some young men who admired Chen Manli burst into laughter, "Although Su Yu won the wine, he was so eager to give the wine to Miss Chen San. He must be trying to be a toad and want to eat swan meat."

"Yes, yes, who is Su Yu? How dare he covet the third daughter of the Chen family? With the talent, character and appearance of the third daughter Chen, there are many people who can match her. Su Yu's father is just a small lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, he is not worthy of her."

"That's right. Su Yu's father doesn't care about him, and his mother doesn't favor him either. He is just a useless child."

As a result, the birthday party turned into a meeting to complain about Su Yu. Su Yu, who was unaware of the situation, sneezed loudly even though he was far away in the village.

The old man of the Chen family, who had been sitting there without saying a word, wanted to say a few words to defend Su Yu. After all, he was his grandson-in-law's future son-in-law. Even if Su Yu was not very ambitious, he would still have to give some face to his great-grandfather, Taifu Zhao.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Yiling walk to the main seat. She scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you guys? Mr. Su is not as bad as you say. What's more, this pine needle wine was bought by my fourth brother, and he personally sent his servant Bai Zhu to deliver it to Chen Mansion."

When she said this, everyone was surprised but did not doubt it. Some people had heard that General Bai had been in love with Miss Chen San for many years, and now it was confirmed by Miss Bai Wu herself.

At this time, Meng Shuchen also came out. He looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, "Mr. Su is a man of high character and integrity. He is not what you say. Please be careful with your words."

He thought to himself, Su Yu was obviously a handsome man, and these people insisted that he was ugly, which was really nonsense.

When his sister Meng Shiwei saw her brother stand up, she looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her brother had never spoken up for others like this before. This was not like his brother at all.

Chen Manli was so angry that she almost vomited blood after hearing Bai Yiling's words. Doesn't this mean that she and her fourth brother are not clear? She was worried. What if Zhou Shizi misunderstood her?

Prince Zhou's face did indeed become darker. If you looked closely, you could see the veins on his head bulging. However, he was still trying hard to suppress his emotions. After all, he was not in the right position to get angry.

But first there was a guy named Su Yu, and then there was Bai Mufan. How many admirers does Man'er have?

Although Chen Manli and Su Yu were engaged, they had never met in person. However, she and Bai Mufan had met many times, and there were always people in the capital who had seen them together.

So someone gossiped and said: "Oh, I once saw General Bai and Miss Chen taking a walk by the river."

"I also saw General Bai go to Jinlou to make jewelry specifically for Miss Chen."

“………”, the crowd was in an uproar for a moment.

Chen Manli saw that their words were getting more and more outrageous, and she had no other choice but to burst into tears in front of Bai Yiling.

She was crying like a pear blossom with tears in her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and she looked so pitiful and touching, "Sister Yiling, I know you have admired your fourth brother Bai Mufan for a long time, but there is no need to make things difficult for me.

You've ruined my reputation in public. I only saved your fourth brother's life a few years ago, and he gave me this pine needle wine out of gratitude. We're innocent, yet you've said this to me. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so kind. My reputation has been ruined for nothing."

She spoke with tears in her eyes, and everyone believed her, "It is true that I heard that she had saved General Bai, and General Bai was a grateful person, so he sent this wine over."

"This Miss Bai is really undesirable. She can't get the love she wants, and she also goes around defaming other people's reputations."

"Yes, I don't want to talk about what Miss Bai did. It's because she loves her fourth brother so deeply."

So everyone started pointing fingers at Bai Yiling again.

Meng Shiwei also looked at Bai Yiling in the distance. She thought to herself, no way, I just thought she had changed, no longer jealous of men, and only lived for herself, but now she is jealous again?

Bai Yiling listened to everyone helping her recall the stupid things she had done for Bai Mufan. She pressed her forehead with a headache and looked at Chen Manli who was crying delicately. She said in a serious tone: "Miss Chen, what I said is true. First of all, this wine was indeed a gift from my fourth brother, right?"

Chen Manli responded, "It was indeed a gift from General Bai."

Bai Yiling, "Secondly, I didn't say that you have any unclear relationship with my fourth brother. Why are you crying in front of me and saying that you are innocent? I believe you are innocent."

These words left Chen Manli speechless. She never expected that Bai Yiling would speak up for her.

After hearing what Bai Yiling said, Prince Zhou's expression eased a little. Maybe it was really just because of the life-saving grace. It was just that Bai Mufan loved Man'er, and Man'er had no other feelings for him.

But Bai Yiling's next sentence was, "It's just that my fourth brother is young and ignorant. He gave the night pearl that His Majesty gave to my eldest brother, and the string of beads on your grandmother's hand, which belonged to my second brother, to Miss Chen. Please return them all, Miss Chen. You can eat those supplements. They are also a little gift from my fourth brother. I will not pursue it."

As she spoke, Bai Yiling looked as if to say, "Look how generous I am!", which made Chen Manli so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Everyone said, "What? That night pearl is really a gift from the emperor?"

"I just want to know how I found that thing."

As if Bai Yiling didn't think things were messy enough, she took out the list in her arms.

"Miss Chen, my fourth brother can repay your favor, but my general's family has been in the army for generations, and the rewards given by the late emperor and His Majesty are countless. However, they are not something you can take, Miss Chen. I came here this time to celebrate the old lady's birthday and to take back these gifts from His Majesty."
