The general kneels on the washboard again

I originally wanted to let public opinion develop, but recently, when Yue Niang went out on the street, someone actually threw rotten eggs at her.

This made her very angry, and even under Dong Zhu's protection, she still came back in a mess.

"Yueniang, why do you look like this?" Qin Shaobai was shocked as soon as he entered the yard.

Dongzhu vividly described how rotten eggs were thrown at him on the street. His ferocious appearance made everyone in the yard laugh so hard that they fell over, except Yue Niang and Dongzhu.

"Still laughing? Go boil some water! It stinks." Yue Niang roared angrily.

"Oh." Dong Zhu went to the small kitchen quickly.

Qin Shaobai and his son stood in the courtyard: "Father, when can we proceed with our business?"

Qin Fengyang trusted Yue Niang very much: "Since the boss has promised you and me, he will definitely do it. Now that she really needs to find her footing, please don't bother her."

Yue Niang washed back and forth eight times before she finally got rid of the rotten egg smell on her body: "We can't let public opinion develop any further."

After washing, Yue Niang called Dong Zhu and said, "Dong Zhu, have you received any invitations to banquets recently?"

Dong Zhu's face was filled with disbelief: "What are you thinking? Miss, who would dare to invite you in Lingzhou now?"

Yue Niang was a little disappointed: "Really? Did you miss it?"

Dong Zhu thought for a while and said, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that there is a letter here, but it was sent by the servant who cleaned the stables. It smells of horse manure and has some unknown black marks on it."

I thought that I could show off my skills in house fighting when I returned to Lingzhou, but the current situation makes me feel that I am not good enough. It is even a problem for me to go out.

Dongzhu searched in the cabinet and finally found the post.

It was written in a prominent place on it: Duke Jiang’s Mansion.

Yue Niang burst into tears of gratitude: "As expected, Aunt Cao did not abandon me."

Dong Zhu looked at it a few more times and said, "But Miss, the date is today."

"Dongzhu, what are you waiting for? Change your clothes first, grab two veils, and go out."

Yue Niang didn't know that her physical condition was now as bad as that of a plague god. As soon as she arrived at the banquet at the Duke's Mansion, the table was empty in an instant.

Cao Jin, on the other hand, excitedly pulled Yue Niang over and said, "How come you've lost weight again, Yue'er?"

Yue Niang felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, aunt, I ruined your banquet."

"They are just some low-class people. What's there to destroy?"

Yue Niang looked at the empty yard embarrassedly.

At this time, Cao Jin gave orders to his servants: "Go and get out the things I asked you to prepare."

I saw servants carrying bowls of delicious food to set up the banquet again.

Cao Jin pulled Yue Niang to sit down distressedly and said, "If your mother knew you were bullied like this, I wonder how heartbroken she would be."

Yue Niang lowered her head and said, "Aunt, am I his biological daughter?"

Cao Jin sighed helplessly: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is true."

Jiang Yunxiao clumsily poured tea and served food to the two of them: "Sister Yue'er, Mother, this dish is delicious."

Yue Niang glanced over casually and found that it was braised fish.

Jiang Yunxiao felt embarrassed when being stared at: "I made it, but I tasted it myself, it's really delicious."

Cao Jin also took a sip and said, "It's delicious."

After the banquet, Jiang Yunxiao and Yue Niang's situation became even more difficult. There were even rumors that Yue Niang went to Duke Jiang's mansion while pregnant to ask for an explanation.

After hearing this, Yue Niang, the person involved, burst out laughing: "It's true that it takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them."

Yue Niang really didn't want to think about it anymore, so she decided to go to Yanhuapu for a stroll.

Fortunately, after buying a few sets of clothes, Yue Niang finally felt better. She returned home and slept until the afternoon.

After a few days, Yue Niang had to wear a veil when going out, otherwise she would smell like rotten eggs.

On the nineteenth day of the month, Yue Niang put on a veil and wanted to go to the temple to burn incense. Tian was leading a few maids to Yuechen Courtyard.

Now that there was no one around, Tian Shi stopped pretending: "You can choose among these maids and servants, so that others won't say that I don't know how to cherish you."

Looking at the situation, those who didn't know would think that Tian was leading people to beat Yue Niang.

Yue Niang glanced at the maids and servants and refused outright, "Don't bother. I have enough manpower in the courtyard now."

Tian was a little dissatisfied: "You are as difficult to please as your mother. Now there are rumors outside, why are you still so arrogant?"

Yue Niang glared at her. "What should I do then? Hang myself here with a three-foot-long white silk thread? Besides, my mother is the eldest lady of the Fu family, and not just anybody can understand her integrity."

Tian was so angry that her teeth were about to break: "You are just talking nonsense. When the two-year period is up, we will see if you will kneel at the door of the Fu family."

Yue Niang was harboring evil thoughts and suddenly said, "Outsiders may not know the Third Prince's feelings for me, but don't you, Madam, know about it too? Today I'm going to have a drink with the Third Prince."

Tian had indeed been tricked, and her tone suddenly became impatient: "What? You little bitch, you dare to set your sights on my Yuanniang's husband?"

Yue Niang hurried out: "Yes, that's right."

As soon as Yue Niang left the house, Tian ran to Fu Yuan Niang's yard and said, "You still have the mind to paint your eyebrows and eyes? The Third Prince and Fu Yue Niang are already drinking and chatting happily."

As soon as Fu Yuanniang dropped the charcoal pencil in her hand, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Tian pitifully and said, "Do you really mean what mother said?"

Fu Yuanniang's appearance was not outstanding, and she already had some low self-esteem. Now she felt even more desolate: "Mother, if my eldest sister wants it, then I won't fight with her."

Tian was furious and taught Fu Yuanniang a lesson: "What are you talking about? This marriage was originally yours. If she snatched it away from you, would you be willing?"

Fu Yuanniang squeezed her handkerchief tightly and said, "I'm unwilling to accept this, but what else can I do?"

Tian urged, "What can we do? Go out and follow her now. Your engagement with the Third Prince is known to everyone. As long as you act like the wife, how can she possibly cause trouble? I'll go and hold her back."

Tian completely forgot that this marriage was originally snatched away from Yue Niang.

In this way, the two sisters went out one after another.

Tian rode at full speed and finally caught up with Yue Niang.

"I also want to go burn incense, but my carriage is broken."

Yue Niang lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage, which was not damaged in any way. She felt helpless and said, "So, Madam, you want to ride with me?"

Tian arrogantly blocked the carriage and said, "They are all my Fu family's carriages, so naturally I can ride them too."

After saying that, he climbed onto the carriage on his own.

Yue Niang was naturally not interested in the Third Prince, but as it happened, the Third Prince was also in Yongfu Temple.

When Yue Niang heard what Wan Cheng said just now, she was also shocked, but she had already said that she would burn incense today, and it was not easy to go back on her word. The worst thing she could do was to hide away. The way the Third Prince looked at her like prey made Yue Niang very uncomfortable.

Now that Tian has arrived, this dilemma has been resolved.

Fu Yuanniang had a different idea from Yue Niang. She bumped straight into the Third Prince, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes, her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.

As a result of all this commotion, Yue Niang actually bumped into Tian, who was always by her side.

At the covered threshold, Fu Yuanniang and the Third Prince held hands tightly, with the Third Prince's hand still on Fu Yuanniang's shoulder.

When Tian wanted to block Yue Niang's sight, it was too late.

Yue Niang was also a dramatic person, and she immediately took out a handkerchief from somewhere.

He pretended to be serious and said, "I have already ruined my reputation. Sister Yuan'er must not do that again. Otherwise, the future of our daughter of the Fu family will be completely ruined."

Tian rolled her eyes inwardly: "Just take care of yourself and don't meddle in Yuanniang's affairs."

Yue Niang also put away her pretentiousness. "Really? The source of my current reputation should be clearer to you than I am. Why do you think I would keep it a secret?"

Tian pulled Yue Niang out and said, "Yuan Niang has always respected you as her elder sister. Don't spread rumors."

Yue Niang has always been suspicious of Fu Yuanniang. Not only is her temperament different from Tian Shi and Fu Shiqing, but her appearance is also different.

Tian has gained weight now, but she was a beauty before. Fu Shiqing is also good-looking, but Fu Yuanniang's face is really ordinary.

When they got outside the courtyard, Yue Niang shook off Tian's hand and said, "I know my limits. Madam, there's no need to persuade me any further. It's getting late, Xiang has already come in, so I'll go back first."

Meeting a man secretly was not considered a serious crime in Dacheng, not to mention that the two were already engaged. People like Yue Niang, who had been searched by robbers and went to the Duke's Mansion to seek justice while pregnant, would be the ones who would be despised.

At some point, raindrops started falling from the sky. Yue Niang felt like crying. She didn't care about her family background or status. She just wanted to have a place in this world, instead of being mediocre and lonely like in her previous life.
