Chapter 20: Don’t spread rumors, don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors
Just as Mo Linqing kept glancing at the window with his peripheral vision, his arms slightly bent to show off his muscular build, he heard a servant's voice: "Master, don't worry. Miss Shen has left the house for something."
Mo Linqing felt his face burning, and pretended to be calm and said, "That's fine, I'm just afraid of offending the beautiful lady."
After saying that, he strode out with big strides, while the villain in his heart beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Then I saw my second and third brothers with mocking expressions on their faces.
He instantly jumped up, "Second brother, third brother, I haven't checked your kung fu for a long time, let's have a sparring match!"
The smiles on Mo Linfeng and Mo Linming's faces disappeared. They exchanged a tacit glance, rolled up their sleeves, and said in unison: "Brother, if you have the guts, fight with us. If you don't, we won't spar with you."
"You have no moral principles!" Mo Linqing shouted angrily. After failing to roll up one sleeve, he confronted the two of them.
When the prime minister rushed back to his house after hearing the rumors in the market, he saw his three sons fighting with each other.
"Nonsense!" The prime minister said with a cold face, and asked the guards to separate the three people.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, his anger grew even stronger.
He knew that the three brothers were not on good terms with each other because they did not live together when they were young, but he did not expect that they would fight each other in the mansion!
"The three of you go to the ancestral hall and kneel for an hour!"
After saying that, he went to the study with his hands behind his back.
The servant immediately reported to the prime minister what had happened in the palace recently.
The prime minister frowned. "Are you saying that the eldest brother tore off his sleeves to seduce that woman? The second brother deliberately took off his shirt to seduce her? The third brother cried so hard to seduce her?"
The servant agreed reluctantly.
The prime minister was so angry that he stood up and went to the ancestral hall in a rage.
He took down the staff from the wall and said in a deep and authoritative voice, "Do you three recognize your mistakes?"
Mo Linqing was the first to speak: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have let my second and third brothers bully the weak."
Mo Linfeng then said, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have urged you to learn martial arts when I knew I couldn't beat you."
The Prime Minister laughed angrily, "Father is referring to the fact that the three of you fell in love with the same woman, and you are so slick and smooth-talking!"
Mo Linming blinked his clear and innocent eyes, "Father, as the book says, 'A gentleman seeks a beautiful lady.' Although the three of us brothers like the same woman, we have agreed that as long as she makes her choice, the other two will withdraw, so there will be no quarrels between brothers."
Mo Linqing and Mo Linfeng nodded in agreement. They knew that their father owed them something. As long as they were not in conflict, they would not say anything more and would not attack Shen Shuangyue.
The Prime Minister's anger subsided a bit, and he couldn't help asking, "What's so good about that wonton shop owner being in the spotlight all day? And he even let you bring him to the palace?"
Mo Linqing and the other two were stunned for a moment, then said in unison: "Father, the person we like is Miss Shen, not Miss Su."
Mo Linqing: "Father, Miss Shen can beat my second brother, so I admire her."
The prime minister said "hmm". It seemed that the boss was not deeply in love. He just suddenly met a unique woman and became more interested in her. If she was not chosen in the future, it would not be a big problem.
Mo Linfeng: "Father, Miss Shen's words have enlightened me. I no longer dwell on the past." In order to increase Shuangyue's weight in his father's heart, he said something he had never said in two lifetimes:
"Father, I feel heavy-hearted on your birthday, not because I don't want to wish you a happy birthday."
He took a deep breath and mustered his courage. "When I was little, I was often bullied by that family. The first time I was bullied was on my birthday. That's why I thought the word 'birthday' was unlucky. It was Miss Shen who helped me resolve this issue."
The Prime Minister still said "hmm" lightly, but he was a little worried in his heart. In this situation, if the second son was not chosen, there was a high possibility that he would end up living alone like him.
Mo Linming only said one sentence: "Father, Miss Shen is willing to block the sword for me."
The prime minister's body swayed slightly. When he first brought his mistress back home, she had nightmares every night.
The humble pleas for mercy, “I was wrong, stop hitting me,” still echo in my ears.
The sad cries of “Why is no one willing to protect me?” are still hard to forget.
But he is the eldest son who shoulders the responsibility of the family's rise, and he cannot allow his son to rely on others for protection when encountering problems.
So... Miss Shen must have fallen into the mistress's heart by accident.
It also means that one of his sons may end up living alone like him.
He sighed and put down the stick in his hand. Now the most important thing was to ensure that Miss Shen became his daughter-in-law.
"Remember what we said today, as long as you three brothers can unite to the outside world.
I heard that Miss Shen has left the house, but now the people are talking about it. The second and third sons are attracted to Miss Su. You should go and explain it quickly."
The three brothers immediately stood up and ran towards the gate of the mansion, forgetting even to greet their father.
The prime minister could no longer bear it: "Boss, put on your clothes before leaving the house! The three of you should stop embarrassing your father outside!"
The three brothers used the power in their hands to start looking for someone. As it was getting dark, they still hadn't heard that Shen Shuangyue had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they became more and more anxious.
And the rumors among the people made them even more nervous.
It wasn't until the servants came into the guest room to clean it on time and saw the note on the table that they sped up their search again.
Even Mo Linqing, the least intelligent of the three, could figure it out:
Since Shen Shuangyue knew their fate, she might have misunderstood their relationship with Su Hanwan and suspected that their previous statements were lies.
The news of the three of them looking for someone caused such a sensation that even Su Hanwan heard about it and asked the Fourth Prince to go look for him.
The protagonist who was being looked for rolled around in bed, scratched his head, was in a daze, and shouted that he was bored. Finally, he couldn't help but take a small stool to find the aunt on the street.
"Auntie, you guys are having such a lively chat, can you please add me?"
"It's little Shen, come and sit down." Aunt A greeted her warmly.
Aunt B immediately asked, "How old is little Shen? Where is she from? Why are you alone? Is she married?"
Shen Shuangyue immediately lowered her head, looking sad. "To be honest, Auntie, I lost my parents and came to the capital to find them. My family arranged a marriage for me as a child. I will go back and get married once I find my parents."
She wiped away the non-existent tears, rubbed her eyes until they turned red, and looked up with a more pitiful look.
She smiled, but in the eyes of the aunties, it seemed like she was pretending to be strong.
She was particularly considerate and said, "Auntie, let's not talk about my troubles. I saw you guys were chatting lively just now. What were you talking about?"
Aunt B looked at Shen Shuangyue with pity, and couldn't bear to bring up other people's sad stories. She followed her words and replied, "We were talking about the strange things happening in the capital."
"Little Shen, you don't know that the Prime Minister's Third Son actually took the sword for the owner of the Su Wonton Shop today!"
"Is there such a thing?" Shen Shuangyue pretended to be surprised.
"Of course!" Auntie A continued, "What's even more bizarre is that the third daughter of the Minister of Revenue blocked the sword for the third son of the Prime Minister, and now her life or death is uncertain."
Shen Shuangyue: "???"
She asked in her heart: [System, did you do this? ]
System: [Not really, host, let me tell you, right now the Third Daughter of the Minister of Revenue is still banging her head on the table, demanding to find the person who slandered her! She's saying how could she possibly do such a stupid thing! But if it weren't for your butterfly effect, she would definitely have blocked the sword.]
A question mark appeared on Shen Shuangyue's forehead, and she heard the aunties continue, "Poor Minister of Revenue's Third Miss was so sincere that she even took the sword for him, but the first person the Prime Minister's Third Son cared about was the owner of the Su Wonton Shop."
The system said consciously: [Host, the situation at that time was that Su Hanwan saw that you were injured, so she pushed Mo Linming away and held you in her arms.
Don't you notice Mo Linming's lips are extra red today? That's because he got a mouthful of mud from being pushed and had to wash it off too many times.
Another question mark appeared on Shen Shuangyue's forehead.
Auntie C shared the news she heard today: "There's something even more bizarre. Let me tell you, the Prime Minister's second son also likes the owner of Su's wonton shop. I heard that the Minister of Revenue's eldest daughter even took poison for the Prime Minister's second son, but the Prime Minister's second son only has eyes for the owner of Su's wonton shop."
Shen Shuangyue frowned. These rumors actually matched the plot perfectly! Was it the power of the plot, or was there someone who knew the plot?
But none of the male supporting characters had a good ending. How could they hold back when they knew the plot?
If the male protagonist knew the plot...
Shen Shuangyue touched herself and felt the goose bumps all over her body. This hypothesis was so terrifying that she decided not to think about it anymore.
"Hey, little Shen girl, what do you think the owner of the Su's Wonton Shop looks like? He can actually hook up with two young masters from the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time." Aunt B asked casually.
Shen Shuangyue replied with a forced smile, "Auntie, I don't understand what you're saying. I heard that Boss Su only treated the Prime Minister and his sons as guests and didn't do anything out of line. How can you accuse her of seducing them?"
"Besides, the Prime Minister's two sons are not fools. How could they possibly have feelings for someone who seduced them at the same time?"
Aunt B thought about it and nodded, "Little Shen's analysis makes sense."
She slapped her thigh and said, "What a sin! Who spread these rumors? This is damaging the reputation of this girl!"
Shen Shuangyue curled her lips. That’s the right way to think!
But she didn't expect Auntie B's next words to be, "But the owner of the Su Wonton Shop must be incredibly lucky to be favored by two noblemen at the same time."
Shen Shuangyue lowered her eyes slightly to hide the coldness in her eyes. Thinking of the little figure who was willing to stand in front of her when in danger, she still couldn't help but meddle in the girl's affairs.
She held Auntie B's hand and said, "Auntie, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the owner of the Su Wonton Shop is awesome! She's a role model for us poor people! For an ordinary person, being a concubine would be great. But I've heard about her story. It's inevitable that she was pursued. Do you want to hear about it, Auntie?"
"You are still keeping us in suspense, little girl!" the aunt laughed.
Shen Shuangyue's expression became mysterious, making her words seem more real: "I heard that Boss Su was previously favored by the blacksmith in her village. That blacksmith looked like a caring person."
At this moment, she paused deliberately to attract the curiosity of the aunts.
Sure enough, the aunties asked, "And then?"
And there was an urging voice in her ear: "And then?"
She deliberately slowed down her speech: "I heard that the blacksmith was willing to give half of his wealth as a betrothal gift, and he's not bad looking!"
As she spoke, she subconsciously observed everyone's expressions until she saw Su Hanwan who had walked up to her at some point. Her head exploded with a "bang".
This was the first time in my life that I spread a rumor and someone started to spit it out right in my face.
It turns out that people should not make rumors, believe in rumors, or spread rumors.
