"This Jiang Zhinian is a vixen. She even managed to seduce the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince to fight for her."

"She still wants to be the Crown Princess, why doesn't she go to heaven."

"Jiang Zhinian went to Jiangzhou, definitely for the Crown Prince, in order to become the Crown Princess. I didn't expect that the Crown Prince would be influenced by her. It's simply abominable."

"What she said about developing an antidote to the plague is definitely false. How good can her medical skills be? The best doctors have studied for decades. She just stayed in the boudoir before. What could she learn?"

"It's just to get credit so that I can become the Crown Princess."

"Why does she do that?"

"Think about it, Mrs. Jiang Shi was not a good person before, but Jiang Zhinian was able to deal with Shi, so how could she be a good person?"

"If she becomes the Crown Princess, I don't know how she will harm you."

"Jiang Zhinian is different from what she appears to be. She is the most ruthless..."

"She is flirting with the Fourth Prince while flirting with the Crown Prince..."

Someone was arranged in the crowd to deliberately spread such rumors and slander Jiang Zhinian.

Many ordinary people didn't believe it at all. They only remembered that Jiang Zhinian donated food and medicinal materials.

I couldn't help but make a few excuses.

"Don't talk nonsense. Miss Jiang donated food and medicine to help Jiangzhou. She saved many people. Why are you slandering her?"

"Yes, Miss Jiang even went to Jiangzhou in person. Zhu Er, when the epidemic broke out in Jiangzhou, you said that anyone who went there would be stupid and would die. Why are you talking like that now?"

"Miss Jiang also has the blood of the Wei family in her veins. The Wei family lost their lives to protect the people of Yan. How can you have the conscience to say these things?"

"A distant relative of mine is a medical officer. He said it himself that it was Miss Jiang who came up with the prescription and saved everyone. Don't slander Miss Jiang like that."

"This Zhu Er is just a gangster. I saw him eating at a restaurant in the city these days. Who knows what's going on!"

"Don't believe him, don't listen to him."

"But I'm so angry. They actually said that about Miss Jiang. It's too much..."

Many villagers and ordinary people couldn't bear to hear such words and offered to say a few words.

But they are powerless and cannot argue with others.

And I don’t know how the rumor became so powerful and put Miss Jiang in such a bad light.

They were furious but didn't know how to help.

Moreover, the villagers seldom go out, so naturally they cannot go around and spread rumors like those who were arranged to do.

Even ordinary people in the capital city live their own lives and rarely participate in such discussions.

In their hearts, they thought Miss Jiang was a good girl. Every time they heard others say something bad about Miss Jiang, they would argue with them until their faces turned red and their necks became thick, but it was useless.

The rumors will remain the same.

Those people discussed these things all over the capital, and kept saying them. Some ignorant people believed what they said and followed their lead.

There are also some people who are not well-informed and don't understand anything, and they also believe such words.

After Jiang Zhinian came back, he was busy with business matters. He also went to inspect the farm and found that all the potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams had been harvested.

Jiang Zhinian thought about making the sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes, which would be easier to store and could last longer.

As for yam, she wanted to teach the people in the village how to make yam powder, which can be mixed into corn flour or wheat flour and used to make steamed buns and noodles.

The key is that yam has high yield.

This way everyone can have enough food.

Looking at the full granary in the farm, Jiang Zhinian smiled.

Just when Jiang Zhinian was busy, he learned the news.

Zheng Daniu on the manor said, "Miss, those people outside are really too much. They actually said that about you."

When Zheng Daniu heard the rumors outside, he got angry and argued with others, but those people were very good at talking and he couldn't win at all.

And no matter what he said, those people had twisted ideas.

Jiang Zhinian spent most of his time in the manor these days and didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside.

I never thought that such rumors would come out.

Jiang Zhinian listened to Zheng Daniu's description of what was happening outside, and his expression changed. "Don't be angry. If an enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Jiang Zhinian knew very well in her heart that the Crown Prince had asked the Emperor to grant her a marriage and let her become the Crown Princess. This matter affected the interests of many people, so someone was secretly fanning the flames to prevent her from becoming the Crown Princess.

These people didn't dare to take action against the prince, so they targeted her.

As long as her reputation is slandered, even the emperor will have to think twice.

The crown prince is the heir to a country and his reputation is very important, let alone the crown princess.

The Crown Prince's Consort must be able to help the Crown Prince, not be a burden to him.

Even if the emperor didn't say anything, Jiang Zhinian would understand this kind of thing.

"But, Miss, what should we do next?"

"We can't let them slander you like this. Let's take more people out to clear the name of the young lady."

Jiang Zhinian shook his head and said, "No, you don't have to do anything."

"The more it is at this time, the more we need to keep our composure."

It doesn't matter how others slander her or what they do.

What is important is the emperor’s attitude.

The emperor acknowledged her contributions, but now someone was slandering her. How could the emperor not understand what was going on?

If the Emperor wants to grant the marriage, it is useless for others to slander him.

Rumors will be dispelled on their own.

But the people behind the scenes were thinking, what if, what if her reputation was ruined, and the emperor had concerns and didn't grant the prince a marriage.

Then she would not be able to become the Crown Princess.

That’s what those people were thinking.

But Jiang Zhinian believes in Yan Jiyou.

But she couldn't just do nothing about this kind of thing.

"Don't act rashly."

"Yes, Miss."

Ever since Jiang Zhinian left Yongping Marquis Mansion, everyone has been calling her the eldest lady.

After Jiang Zhinian explained some things in the manor, he returned to the Bo Mansion.

She needs to discuss this matter with her grandmother first.

……

When Madam Wei Ying learned about the rumors outside, her eyes became sharp and her expression became angry.

At this time, the second wife, Mrs. Jian, and the fourth wife, Mrs. Guan, both came over.

Both of them looked at their mother-in-law's expression cautiously, not daring to breathe or speak carelessly.

After Jiang Zhinian was named the county lady, the influence left by the Shi family disappeared, and many families came to propose marriage to Fang Jie'er, which was much better than before.

The person mentioned before was the second son of Lord Zhu, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Although this second son has no official position and his medical skills are not very good, his family runs a clinic and does business in medicinal materials. Moreover, his father is the director of the hospital. It would be good for him to be arranged to work in the Imperial Medical Bureau as a medical officer and receive a salary in the future.

There is also the nephew of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he is a minor clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, it is only a matter of time for him to rise to power with his uncle, who is also the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

She was actually very tempted, mainly because Fang Jie'er was already fifteen years old and had reached the age of marriage. Also, their second wife was also a concubine's daughter in the Earl's Mansion. They all thought it was a good thing to let Fang Jie'er marry into a noble family and become the main wife of the legitimate son.

They are very self-aware because these two families are much better than the previous inconspicuous small families, and they look much more reliable.

But the old lady didn't seem too happy at the time, and Jian could see from her expression, so she quickly asked the old lady to help arrange it.

At that time, the lady told her not to be anxious and to take it slow.

She was a little unhappy at that time.

Who would have thought that Jiang Zhinian would come back from a trip to Jiangzhou with great merit, and would be rewarded by the Emperor again, and would even become the Crown Princess!

Jane was shocked when she heard the news.

Only then did she understand why her mother asked her to take it easy.

That's not the case. A few days ago, many noble families came to propose marriages for their outstanding sons, and they chose Fang Jie'er.

She knew that this was all due to Chinen's rising status.

She reported it to the lady and she was no longer in a hurry.

She never expected that there would be slanderous words against Zhinian again. How could she not be anxious?

I hurried over to ask the lady for advice.
