The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"Most people were saying that they had long seen that there was something fishy going on between the two, but since Prince Ning's wife believed them completely, no one said much.

Some people also said that although Miss Xie was physically weak, her words and deeds were quite bold and unrestrained. She might have been Ning Shizi's mistress for a long time. It was just because Ning Shizi could not take concubines that she always regarded herself as Ning Shizi's savior.

Then some people took advantage of the situation and speculated that Prince Ning's wife had finally discovered the affair between the two, which was why she pushed Miss Xie into the water that day..."

Lan Ruo lowered her voice considerably at the end, but when she saw Yin Feier's brows furrowed tightly, she raised her voice again and said, "This old servant believes Madam Ning. Since Madam Ning said she didn't push Miss Xie, but that she tried to help her when she slipped but was dragged into the water with her, then that must be the case. After all, with Madam Ning's temperament and status, if she really did push Miss Xie, she wouldn't deny it, and there's no need for her to do so!"

Yin Feier nodded in agreement, her brows still tightly furrowed.

Soon after Ning Jin brought Xie Yu back to the capital, his attitude of putting Xie Yu first in everything attracted a lot of attention.

If it weren't for Sister Ali who always defended them, others would have been talking about them in private.

And it seems that because Sister Ali always defends them, whenever they appear in public together, no matter what the occasion, they no longer care about the eyes of others and always act so intimately that they seem like a couple.

However, up to now, there has not been any rumor in the capital about their ambiguous relationship.

You must know that Ning Jin cannot take a concubine.

Moreover, Ning Jin had vowed in public that he would never take a concubine, and that having Sister Ali alone in his life was enough.

Under normal circumstances, if there is someone around him with whom he has an ambiguous relationship, it will immediately become a topic of conversation among others.

Therefore, she was certain that Ning Jin's mother must have often secretly silenced people in order to prevent the information about Ning Jin and Xie Yu from leaking out.

After all, Ning Jin's mother was a powerful woman when she was still unmarried, and after she got married, she firmly controlled the huge Dingbei Marquis Mansion in her hands.

In addition, she only has one son, Ning Jin.

We will definitely do our best to prevent Ning Jin's reputation from being damaged.

So……

Who could have spread the news about Ning Jin and Xie Yu in the capital at this critical moment?

The news spread so quickly that Ning Jin's mother didn't even have time to respond...

At this moment, her mother's voice rang out, "Those things have spread to the palace. I'm afraid people in the capital are already talking about them. Although A-li is ill and won't be going out, she has many people around her. It's only a matter of time before she hears about it. If she continues to defend those two people as she did in the past, it will be fine. But if she continues to act abnormally like she did in the past two days, I will ask your father to come forward and give Ning Jin a lesson. So, Fei'er, there's no need to worry about A-li. Just wait for your marriage with peace of mind."

"Yes! I feel relieved with what you said, mother! But mother, after I get married, you must always protect Sister Ali!"

"Do not worry."

Murong Hui smiled dotingly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

She's been acting a little strange lately.

Sometimes I forget what I was doing the moment before.

I hope it’s not some complicated disease!

……

In the mansion of Marquis Dingbei.

When Xu Daijun learned around noon that the matter concerning Ning Jin and Xie Yu had suddenly spread throughout the capital, he immediately sent people to investigate the source and try to stop it.

However, her people were busy the entire afternoon, releasing a lot of news that they considered to be breaking news, but they were unable to stop the spread of news about Ning Jin and Xie Yu in the capital.

There is no clue as to the source.

Therefore, in the evening, Xu Daijun received a letter from a friend who had come to the palace to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet. After learning that almost everyone in the palace knew about it, he was furious and punished many people.

After finishing the work, he said to Madam Xiang with a sullen face, "To prevent the situation from getting worse, there is only one way!"

Nanny Xiang almost immediately understood Xu Daijun's thoughts.

But she didn't say it directly, instead she lowered her voice and said, "The princess means..."

"I'll hold a banquet and invite all the influential ladies in the capital, and have Li Shu speak for Jin'er."

"The princess is wise, but... the Crown Prince's wife seems to be still angry. I'm afraid..."

"Li Shu is not someone who can't distinguish between the important and the unimportant. No matter how angry she is right now, she can't ignore Jin'er Qingyu."

"The princess is right. Does the princess want me to go and invite the Crown Prince's wife, or..."

"Come with me to the Bamboo Garden. We still need to coax Li Shu now."

"Yes!"

She responded cheerfully to Madam Xiang.

The Crown Prince's wife has been married for so long, but the princess has never condescended to coax her.

The Crown Prince's wife not only attaches great importance to filial piety, but is also very easy to talk to.

The princess went to comfort her, so no matter how angry she was, she would calm down.

On the way to Zhuyuan, Xu Daijun also temporarily instructed someone to go to Tongxin Garden to call Ning Jin back to Zhuyuan.

This made Nanny Xiang feel even more relaxed.

However, after they arrived at Zhuyuan and saw Li Shu for the first time when they entered the room, Nanny Xiang had a hunch that things would not go as they wished.

Because ever since Li Shu entered the room, she has been very respectful and a bit flattering towards Xu Daijun.

Today, not only was there no flattery at all, there was almost no respect at all.

He just bowed slightly and asked, "Why are you here so late, mother?"

Her attitude changed drastically, and Xu Daijun naturally couldn't fail to notice it, and he felt a little unhappy at the moment.

But her complexion looked quite bad, and there was a faint smell of medicine lingering in the room, as if she had just taken the medicine not long ago. Xu Daijun didn't want to get angry right away.

In addition, Xu Daijun still needed her to speak for Ning Jin.

For this reason, Xu Daijun secretly suppressed most of his displeasure, then put on a smile and asked instead of answering, "You look so pale, have you called the court doctor to check it out?"

"I've checked it out. It's just a cold. Nothing serious."

Li Shu was certain that Xu Daijun would not ask anyone to find the court doctor for confirmation.

After all, in the dream, Xu Daijun was jealous and hated her to the core.

In addition, she also guessed Xu Daijun's purpose.

It was simply that the affair between Ning Jin and Xie Yu had spread throughout the capital, and he wanted her to go and tell others, as she had done before, that Ning Jin and Xie Yu were absolutely innocent.

really.

After Xu Daijun pulled her to sit down, he didn't even bother to exchange a few false pleasantries with her before asking her, "Have you heard about the news that's been making the rounds in the capital today?"

Li Shu shook her head. "I had a nightmare last night, and I wasn't feeling well. I was mostly asleep today, so I don't know anything yet."

"Alas! It's about Jin'er and Xie Yu. I don't know who exaggerated the story between Jin'er and Xie Yu and spread it out. Right now, most people in the capital are saying that Jin'er and Xie Yu are having an affair. They're waiting to see if Jin'er will disobey the emperor's will in order to marry Xie Yu!"

"..."

Li Shu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xu Daijun added, "Others may not know, but you, Shushu, should know. Even before Jin'er got engaged to you, he had only you in his heart and eyes. He only has feelings of gratitude and pity for Xie Yu, and there is absolutely no way he could have any love between a man and a woman!"

Li Shu lowered her head, coldness surging in her eyes.

She didn't know how many times she had heard words like that in her dreams.

And I heard it from different people.

This includes her father and brothers!

Even in her dream, she saw Ning Jin and Xie Yu hugging and kissing each other, and someone kept saying that to her!

In the end, her reputation was so bad that people said she was not worthy of being the wife of the prince of Dingbei Marquisate, and her father and brother almost severed ties with her. Ning Jin finally admitted his feelings for Xie Yu without offending the emperor, and after demoting her to a concubine, he married Xie Yu with full legal standing!
