"My Women's Evening News is high-end and elegant. Writing these gossips is too cheap and pollutes women's eyes."

"Let's go eat next door."

"Find an excuse to push it!"

"it is good."

"Don't you ask why?"

"You can do whatever you want, no need to ask why."

The Seventh Prince and Princess did not come to the Prime Minister's residence for dinner, and the Prime Minister did not investigate further. However, when he heard that Ye Youlan had vacated her room for Yuhong to live in, the Prime Minister became angry and asked whose idea it was?

Mrs. Ye wondered why she didn't know about this. General Ye looked at Yuhua, and Yuhua shook her head.

"That room belongs to my sister. No one can touch it. Even if she doesn't come to live here, it must be kept." General Ye looked at Yuhua, "Arrange another room for Yuhong!"

The next day, the whole capital was filled with rumors about Li Da's joke. Li Da was unaware of this and, after leaving court, he met his colleagues for tea. Everyone was laughing and teasing him, but he was confused and asked what they meant.

Someone took out a tabloid from his sleeve. The headline on the newspaper was about a man who had taken possession of a maid in the mansion and was settled with money by his son. Although Li Da's name was not mentioned, every sentence told everyone that the so-called lecherous official was Li Da.

"Nonsense, complete nonsense." Li Da was so angry that he tore the tabloid into pieces, his face turning red.

At this time, a palace maid came to report that the emperor asked him to come over. Li Da groaned inwardly, wondering if the emperor knew about this.

He hurried to see the emperor and met Minister Qin face to face in the corridor. Minister Qin glared at him, then punched him hard in the chest, and he sat down on the ground.

"It's shameful and disrespectful to the elderly." Minister Qin said this and walked away.

Li Da struggled to get up. His buttocks hurt, and his chest hurt even more. He grinned and went to the imperial study. As soon as he entered and before he had time to salute, the emperor threw a book at him on the head, making him see stars.

The emperor scolded him severely. Li Da was terrified and did not dare to look up. He trembled in pain, trying to endure the pain.

After the emperor finished scolding, Li Da was called over by the empress dowager to continue scolding him.

Li Da complained about his pain in a wronged manner. He treated Yilan sincerely, but Yilan only hated him and had no love for him. He had no choice but to find another woman.

The Queen Mother couldn't bear to see a grown man crying. After all, she was the root of the matter and she still felt a little guilty. She asked Li Da to go back home and rest for a few days and not appear in front of the Emperor. After a few days, when the storm was over, everyone would naturally forget about it.

"This must have been done by the Seventh Prince. I just reported him to the Emperor, and the next day he made me look bad. He's the only one in the capital who could do this."

The Queen Mother said with a look of disgust: "You idiot, who told you to report the prince? What's the point of reporting him, a lazy prince?"

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty. I am a fool."

"The prince and princess are loyal and righteous. Can't you just take action against the people around them?"

Li Da smiled and said, "I understand."

But Li Da had always been puzzled by one question: why would the Queen Mother target the Seventh Prince? Wasn't that her son? Could the rumors from back then be true?

Li Da left the palace and went to Jinghua Academy, but was refused entry by the gatekeeper. He was so angry that he cursed outside the mountain gate. Seeing people watching, he quickly got on the carriage and returned home.

When he returned to the Shangshu Mansion, he saw his son Li Zong sitting in the study waiting for him with an angry look on his face. It seemed that he had also read the tabloids.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? You've brought shame to our Shangshu Mansion and even made it impossible for me to show up in public today."

"Why blame me? It's because you didn't handle the matter properly."

Li Zong sneered, "Dad, I cleaned up the mess you made, and you're still scolding me?"

"roll."

Li Zong came out and returned to his room. He saw Qin Yurou looking at the account book. He sat across from her and asked, "Why are you so calm?"

He thought about the last time when he dealt with A Miao's matter, Qin Yurou scolded his father for being disrespectful to the elderly. Today it was reported in the tabloids, but Qin Yurou acted as if nothing had happened.

Qin Yurou's face remained calm. "This isn't the first time your father has done something so embarrassing. The Shangshu Mansion is already notorious, and getting angry won't solve the problem."

"Why not kick A Miao out?"

"After A Miao left, the next girl came again."

Li Zong stood up, feeling extremely depressed. He was about to go out. Qin Yurou didn't even look up and was still concentrating on looking at the account book.

Li Zong went to Lanzhi's place, and Xiaobao reminded him to be careful, lest he get featured in the tabloids.

Lanzhi gave Li Zong an idea. If the master was not capable, there would be no more gossip like this.

Li Zong clapped his hands in approval. Father and mother were not in love anyway, they were just nominal husband and wife. Father was not honest, one maid left and another came, it was endless. If father was in poor health, he would be honest, but it was a bit cruel.

"I know there are some medications that can make you forget about it, and once you stop taking them, everything will be back to normal. You just need to mix it in tea."

Li Zong asked Lanzhi to write down the prescription, asked Xiaobao to get the medicine, send it back to the mansion, and find a reliable maid to do this.

He stayed here overnight and went straight to court in the morning. He didn't expect to encounter Chen Su's carriage.

The two carriages almost collided at the intersection. Chen Su lifted the curtain and found that it was the carriage of the Shangshu Mansion. Li Zong embarrassedly lifted the curtain and greeted him.

"Brother Li, why are you coming from that direction?"

"There's a bun shop up ahead. I'll buy two buns there."

"Which bun shop? Are they delicious?"

"I did not notice."

The two carriages continued their journey. Chen Su thought, working in the Ministry of Industry, that she must be familiar with the layout of the capital. "Where is there a bun shop?" she thought. "I don't remember it. Could it be newly opened?" Xiaoling liked buns, so she might as well stop by when she came back tonight.

When he came back in the evening, Chen Su's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Chen Su got off to buy buns, but he walked along the whole street and didn't see any food for sale.

When he returned to the Yong'an Palace, Chen Xiaoling saw that he looked depressed and asked him if he had encountered any difficulties.

Chen Su took Chen Xiaoling's hand and motioned for her to sit down: "It's just a little strange."

"What's weird?"

Chen Su told Chen Xiaoling about her encounter with Li Zong today. Chen Xiaoling was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up: "Li Zong is lying. He must be supporting another woman outside."

"Without evidence, you can't talk nonsense."

Chen Xiaoling sat down again and said seriously, "A few days ago, Yu Rou said that Li Zong was often away on business and didn't come home at night. When we talked about her husband, she avoided the topic. At the time, I thought it was just her personality. Now that you've brought it up, it means there's something wrong with Li Zong. There's definitely something wrong."

Chen Su caught a key word: "When you guys usually talk about your husbands, what do you talk about us?"

Chen Xiaoling couldn't help laughing: "They asked me if I was stupid in that area."

Chen Su was puzzled. "Which aspect?" He then understood what that aspect was from Chen Xiaoling's expression. "How did you answer?"

"I told them, you're not made of wood! You're amazing! Let them envy you!"
