Everyone's eyes were fixed on the golden melon seeds in the plate.

"I wonder what other hobbies you have, sir? We can do everything except sell our bodies and kill people."

Yu Ruyue laughed heartily. "How could I let you kill people and sell your bodies? I just love to hear gossip. The more interesting and subtle the gossip is, the happier it makes me."

Yu Ruyue played with the golden melon seeds in her hand and looked at those people with a smile!

Everyone who hangs out in this kind of place can probably understand what gossip Yu Ruyue wants to hear!

Someone immediately wanted to try it out.

A girl with twin buns suddenly had her eyes sparkling as she threw herself at Yu Ruyue's knees. "I know the Minister of Rites' legitimate son may appear uninterested in women, but he's actually keeping a mistress! She lives in the third house in Tianshui Lane. I also know that mistress has a butterfly birthmark on her waist!"

Yu Ruyue handed over a golden melon seed in surprise, "How did you know?"

The girl smiled and touched her head, "Because of that concubine, I met a sister."

"Don't tell anyone, girl."

Yu Ruyue was even more shocked. "How did you find out?"

The little girl pointed to her ear with a smile, "You have a pierced ear. Only women would have this pierced ear."

Yu Ruyue didn't expect that even though she had tied her chest tightly before coming here and deliberately made herself ugly with thick eyebrows and no lip balm on her lips, she was still recognized.

She smiled helplessly, "Okay! Don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret. Don't tell anyone. If the Minister of Rites finds out, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

The girl took a handful of golden melon seeds, her eyes brightening surprisingly. "Don't worry, we've been here for so long, we naturally know what to say and what not to say. And if it weren't for you, I wouldn't say these things!"

The other beauty in red also nodded, "We all know you're different from the others!"

"Right!" A handsome man nodded in agreement. "When you came here, not only did you not touch us, you even treated us like human beings!"

Yu Ruyue looked at these people with sincere expressions and gave each of them a golden melon seed.

Although she felt very painful, she knew that these people came here because they had no other choice. A golden melon seed could help them reduce some of their burden.

Upon seeing this, these people expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

"Oh right! Concubine Yao's cousin came here a few days ago and said he was helping his sister transport some medicinal herbs. He was going to be very successful in the future!"

"And! I have even bigger news!" A chubby little girl suddenly stood up and asked mysteriously, "Did you know there's a bandit den in the mountains outside Kyoto?"

The dancers and musicians nearby all nodded repeatedly.

"I know! I heard that the bandit's background is not small, and they have a powerful backer in the court. Even the Jingzhao Yin dare not offend them!"

The little girl nodded, "Yes! It's that bandit's den. Yesterday, I and a few other sisters were called into a private room to dance for some of the bandits."

"These bandits have leverage over many high-ranking officials in Kyoto, so they come here to extort money almost every month. This time, one of the men had a deep scar on his face. You can't see how scary it is. I couldn't even look at him."

"The most important thing is that something seems to have happened on their mountain. It seems that someone has surrounded the bandit's den for justice. These people escaped because they came down the mountain to extort money, but they dare not go back. Because they came out in a hurry and failed to extort money, they didn't bring much money with them, so they came here to listen to music and pass the time."

Yu Ruyue didn't expect that there would be such arrogant bandits under the feet of the emperor. It can be seen that Qin Guoan is not a good emperor!

What little evil intentions he had, he used all on his eldest son.

After the little girl finished speaking, she saw that Yu Ruyue looked very satisfied, and quickly stretched out her hands.

Yu Ruyue grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds without hesitation and put them into her hand.

This made the girls and boys nearby even more jealous.

At this time, the girl who had been feeding Yu Ruyue grapes couldn't help but wipe her hands, then called everyone over and whispered, "I have a secret here too."

"It's about the Marquis' Mansion!"

Everyone gathered around immediately, and the girl whispered, "It's about the story between the daughter of Marquis Lecheng and Lord Lin, the director of the Imperial College. You've all heard about it, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"How could I not have heard of this? This is simply the most incredible thing I have ever heard in my life."

"Yes! That Miss Jiang was the most beautiful and talented woman in Kyoto before. Even the emperor wanted to take her into his harem as empress, but she didn't want to, so he quickly found a poor scholar!"

"It turns out that the scholar had been having an affair with someone for a long time, and even swapped Miss Jiang's child with that person, while that adulteress even came into the mansion to work as a wet nurse."

When Yu Ruyue heard this, she was surprised to find that it was actually gossip about her own family.

The girl feeding the grapes saw Yu Ruyue sitting up straight and quickly continued, "I always thought this news was fake, until two days ago, when that fake young master, Lin Gaowang, came to our place to listen to music. He got drunk and said in a half-asleep state that they had already discussed it and wanted to..."

The girl looked around when she said this.

Everyone was a little anxious, "What do you want to do? Just tell me."

The girl lowered her voice to a whisper, and everyone gathered their little heads together. "He said that Miss Jiang had caused his parents to be separated from each other, so the three of them had already planned to poison Miss Jiang and then lock her up in the house and burn her alive!"

All the girls present covered their mouths in surprise, and the young men also widened their eyes in disbelief!

"Oh my God!"

"Even with the family in such a mess, this Mr. Lin can still come and go freely in the Lin Mansion and spend money lavishly. This means that Miss Jiang still has some motherly feelings for him and doesn't want the elders' grudges to implicate him, a child. I didn't expect him to be so vicious."

Everyone agreed, all for the sake of virtue, and all wanted to speak up for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family!

Yu Ruyue never thought that she came here on a whim to inquire about information, but she actually got some useful information by accident.

She listened a little more and felt that it was getting late, so she made an appointment to meet again next time, and then quickly went home to tell Shen Zhiheng the news.

As a result, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Shen Zhiheng standing at the door with a gloomy face, like a resentful woman!

She immediately pounced on him with a smile!

Shen Zhiheng quickly caught the person, but he smelled the strong scent of rouge and powder on Yu Ruyue!

This smell doesn't belong to Ruyue, and it makes him upset...
