The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Qin Yanran returned home, her face pale and her anger still lingering.

She walked straight into the study and saw Old Master Qin sipping tea. She immediately told him everything about the conflict she had with Liao Qinglan in the tea room today.

Qin Yanran clenched her fists, her voice trembling, "Grandpa, I can't swallow this! How dare Liao Qinglan humiliate me like this and make me lose face in front of all the sisters."

Old Master Qin put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his granddaughter sharply, and said slowly: "Yanran, I have been an official for many years and never allow anyone to bully me. Naturally, I can't just swallow this anger."

Qin Yanran looked up at her grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what should we do?"

Old Master Qin pondered for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be handled skillfully. The Liao family girl must be brought to ruin."

"Then I'll tell the sisters who are going with me tonight and ask them to spread the word among their own circles."

"The scope of relying on them is too small."

"What does Grandpa mean?"

“We can find storytellers in the capital and ask them to make up a story and spread it throughout the streets and alleys.” Old Master Qin said in a cold voice with a gleam in his eyes.

Qin Yanran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Grandpa means... to use the storyteller to make Liao Qinglan's evil deeds known to the public?"

Old Master Qin nodded and continued, "That's right. These storytellers are best at turning rumors into stories, adding fuel to the fire, and making people talk about them with relish. We can secretly fund them and let them spread this matter as widely as possible."

"In this way, Liao Qinglan's reputation will plummet, and she will have no place to stand in the capital." Qin Yanran was delighted.

"That's right, but we need to be careful about this matter and not let anyone know that it was done by our Qin family. You don't have to worry about it. Grandpa will make all the arrangements."

"Grandpa, you are so good to me." Qin Yanran snuggled up to Old Master Qin and said coquettishly.

Old Master Qin patted the back of her hand gently, then asked, "Let's not talk about this. Today I asked you to go find Qin Xiaoxiao. How is the situation?"

Qin Yanran's face froze slightly when she heard this, and she answered hesitantly: "I...I...I didn't see Qin Xiaoxiao..."

"Yanran!" Old Master Qin stopped smiling and said in a more serious tone, "Don't you know that this is the most important thing right now?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's brain was working rapidly, looking for the right words, and she said in a muffled voice: "When I saw Liao Qinglan, hatred surged in my heart, and I forgot the task that my grandfather had given me."

Old Master Qin frowned, and said with a bit of reproach in his tone: "Yanran, how can you be so ignorant of the importance of things? This matter concerns the interests of the family, how can you let personal feelings interfere?"

Qin Yanran's heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "Grandpa, you really can't blame me. Liao Qinglan met with Wang Tingzhi today, and Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to have suffered a great blow. She left the palace alone first, and I didn't catch up."

After hearing this, Old Master Qin's eyes flashed with interest: "Oh? So, is there a rift between Qin Xiaoxiao and Wang Tingzhi?"

Qin Yanran said with great conviction: "Yes, Grandpa, Chuntao saw it with her own eyes. Qin Xiaoxiao ran out crying!"

Old Lady Qin pondered for a moment, waved her hand, and called a loyal guard: "Go to Wang Tingzhi's house and investigate. Make sure you find out what the current relationship between Wang Tingzhi and Qin Xiaoxiao is."

The guard took the order and left, while Old Grand Tutor Qin leaned back in the grand chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Qin Yanran was worried because of her mistake.

I failed to complete the task today and almost delayed my grandfather's important event.

Her grandfather didn't let her go, so she absolutely didn't dare to leave first.

The grandfather and grandson were waiting together in the room.

After about an incense stick of time, the guard came back.

The guard replied, "Master, I have already checked the palace. Madam Wang left the capital overnight and I don't know where she went."

When Old Master Qin heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Run away?"

Qin Yanran excitedly interrupted, "Grandpa, it seems that Liao Qinglan's appearance has had a great impact on the relationship between Wang Tingzhi and his wife! This is good news for us!"

Old Master Qin also smiled with relief: "That's right, Qin Yunhan has lost the support of the Wang family, so we don't need to win them over anymore. They are just a small merchant family, and I can crush them with one hand."

"Grandpa, Liao Qinglan forced Wang Tingzhi's first wife away, and her reputation will only get worse!" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but remind him.

"I know, I'll ask the storyteller to arrange it, don't worry."

The grandparents and grandchildren smiled at each other, the joy in their hearts was beyond words.

Afterwards, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, a fascinating story spread among the teahouses and taverns in the capital.

Although they did not dare to say the name directly, those clever storytellers skillfully used the names of people in the previous dynasty as a cover, and cleverly incorporated key words such as princess, royal relatives, and second place in the imperial examination.

The addition of various identities makes this story more legendary and fascinating.

There were many witnesses that day.

These noble ladies couldn't wait to share what they saw and heard that day with those around them.

After several rounds of exaggerated descriptions, the scene became more and more vivid, as if Liao Qinglan and Wang Tingzhi had been caught in bed that day.

The story spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Everyone was talking about it, from teahouses and taverns to the streets.

Liao Qinglan and Gu Mingzhao were confined to the mansion and knew nothing about the turmoil in the outside world.

But when Liang Wu heard about this, he couldn't help but worry about the princess.

His parents have been brought to live in the capital. Over the years, his mother would tell him every day how good the Princess of Qin was. If it weren't for the kindness of the Princess of Qin, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin would never have paid attention to ordinary people like them.

Therefore, in Liang Wu's heart, Liao Qinglan's position is even more important than Gu Mingzhao.

After much deliberation, he decided to report the story personally to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and the Princess.

Liao Qinglan listened to him quietly and found it very funny.

Qin Xiaoxiao left Beijing to cure Wang Tingzhi's eyes, but when others talked about her, all she did was talk about these romantic things.

According to what they said, Wang Tingzhi and Qin Xiaoxiao wished they could get divorced today.

Liao Qinglan sighed and said helplessly: "These rumors are just idle chatter among bored people. Why bother about them? When Qin Xiaoxiao returns to the Wang family, these rumors will naturally be broken."

Liang Wu was standing by, originally worried about the situation of the King of Qin and the Queen, but when he saw that they both took it so calmly, he felt relieved.

He was about to leave when he saw a eunuch from the palace coming hurriedly.

"Your Highness Prince Qin, His Majesty invites you. The carriage is waiting outside the palace. Please enter the palace immediately." The eunuch respectfully conveyed the emperor's will.

Liao Qinglan frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Could it be that Your Majesty has also heard these rumors?"

Qin Wang Gu Mingzhao gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry. Your Majesty has ears and eyes all over the world, so it's normal for him to hear these rumors. I will go to the palace to explain it clearly to Your Majesty and will not let him misunderstand you."

Liao Qinglan nodded and watched Gu Mingzhao's figure gradually disappear into the distance.
