I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Jiang Yuan learned the news after lunch, and during dinner, he heard various discussions coming from the first floor of Tianxiang Tower.

Leaning on the railing on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the lively scene on the first floor at dinner time, including the things being discussed.

In the past, gossip was discussed around the table, with each person discussing it individually.

Today's event was obviously a big one, covering the entire hall. Everyone was holding a wine glass or a bowl, sitting astride a stool, and collectively participating in the discussion of the incident.

After listening for a while, Chunzhi pulled Jiang Yuan's sleeve and said, "Miss, is what they said true? Is Lord Xie really such a despicable person?"

Qu Ying couldn't help but laugh, "As expected, Fourth Brother's moves are extraordinary."

"Those who take advantage of public opinion will eventually be swallowed up by it." Jiang Yuan murmured to himself. After hearing this, Qu Ying nodded in agreement.

Luzhu went to the street to buy Jiang Yuan's favorite lotus leaf roasted chicken. She saw Luzhu on the second floor, holding two oil paper bags in her hands and rushing into Tianxiang Tower.

He ran up the stairs in one breath, even passing the two people standing at the railing, and rushed into the box with his head down.

When Luzhu rushed out of the house in panic, she saw four people leaning on the railing, smiling at her in confusion.

Embarrassed, Luzhu scratched her head and rubbed against Jiang Yuan, her face turning red.

"You're running with your head down, aren't you afraid of bumping into someone and falling?" Jiang Yuan's voice was smiling and trembling.

Lu Zhu giggled, "I lowered my head because I was afraid of falling. Oh, girl, I was so anxious because I heard some exciting news and couldn't wait to come back and tell you."

Jiang Yuan pointed downstairs and motioned Lu Zhu to listen.

Luzhu's face turned even redder.

The waiter served the food and they returned to the house.

"Has it spread all over the streets?" Jiang Yuan tore off a chicken leg and put it on Qu Ying's plate.

Lu Zhu nodded, "People are talking about it everywhere. I was waiting in line for the roast chicken and everyone was talking about it. I don't know who made it into a nursery rhyme, and the kids on the street were all singing it."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhu sighed with disappointment, "Alas, Lord Xie's reputation is ruined now."

Qu Ying picked up a piece of sweet and sour carp for Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan's plate was filled with sweet and sour carp.

Recalling something, Jiang Yuan asked, "Just talking about Lord Xie, who deliberately set up a trap to marry Mrs. Su, seized the dowry, but cried that he was forced, and then treated the children born to Mrs. Su harshly. Is there anything else?"

Lu Zhu ate the chicken wings and looked up in confusion, "Girl, this is not enough, what else do you want?"

"No one mentioned why Fourth Brother turned against Lord Xie."

He put down the chicken wings in his hand and wiped his greasy mouth with a handkerchief, "I said that General Xie found out about the bandits who were bribed by Lord Xie, and the truth of that year came to light.

General Xie was unwilling to acknowledge the man who killed his mother as his father, and Marquis Xie had ignored General Xie since he was a child, so he severed the relationship. "

Jiang Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, Lu Zhu was puzzled and looked at Qu Ying.

Qu Ying had a guess and asked, "Are you talking about the marriage that Lord Xie chose for Fourth Brother at Master Cheng's mansion?"

"Marquis Xie took the initiative to find the emperor for this marriage. He knew that Fourth Brother would definitely not agree, so he wanted to ask the emperor to grant the marriage and force Fourth Brother to submit.

But the emperor did not respond. Later, he became worried that Fourth Brother was interested in me and that he and I might fall in love with each other, which would disrupt his plans, so he came to warn me.

Fourth Brother Xie knew all of this, and he was determined to sever ties with the Marquis' Mansion. I'm afraid it was because of this that he had to make a big fuss and let everyone know that he had no relationship with the Marquis' Mansion anymore, and this marriage would naturally fall through.

Lord Xie cannot use his father's status to pressure him, let alone his parents' orders."

Qu Ying nodded and said, "Fourth brother is very sensible. Even if there are these reasons, he did not drag the Grand Tutor's Mansion into this, which can be regarded as protecting the reputation of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

If everyone knew that Marquis Xie wanted him to marry the sickly granddaughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and the Grand Tutor's Mansion also had this intention, I'm afraid the rumors would also affect the Grand Tutor's Mansion and that poor granddaughter."

Lu Zhu took the bone out of his mouth and said "Oh" as he understood, "I understand, General Xie does not need to rely on the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but the Marquis' Mansion needs to rely on the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Lord Xie intends to use this unfavored son's life to climb up to the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

"Oh, little green bamboo has become smart."

Lu Zhu was very proud to be praised by Jiang Yuan.

"There is another layer. Lord Xie is obviously partial to his eldest son. Unfortunately, his eldest son is incompetent. He found a wife like this for Xie Yunxiao who spits blood every time she takes a step. She will definitely not be able to manage the household in the future, and probably won't be able to leave any offspring.

He is forcing me not to take a concubine, so in the future, everything Xie Yunxiao earns will belong to Xie Yunfeng."

Qu Ying frowned and rolled her eyes, "Bah, how shameless."

"Looking at Xie Yunxiao's counterattack, it's not bad, it's not a spur of the moment thing."

Qu Ying looked at Jiang Yuan, opened her mouth, and swallowed her words back. The girl in front of her was smart but dull, just like her older sister, who only knew how to fight and kill.

The news in the morning was deliberately released by Lord Xie in order to destroy Xie Yunxiao's reputation. He has always been highly respected in the capital, the youngest general of Dayu, invincible on the battlefield, and a generous and kind person.

There were few in the court who disliked him, whether they were civil officials or military generals.

By causing such a scene, he ruined Marquis Xie's plan to marry into the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but it also gave him a handle, which allowed him to strike first, seize the high ground of public opinion, and ruin Xie Yunxiao.

Moreover, such a murky matter also involved Xie Yunxiao's mother. Lord Xie was sure that Xie Yunxiao would not risk telling the truth, even for the sake of his mother's reputation after her death.

No one expected that Xie Yunxiao had actually ordered people to copy the confession into hundreds of copies and distribute them randomly on the streets. Within half an hour, everyone in the city knew about it.

Although Su was also subject to some talk, it was nothing more than accusations such as being blind, stupid, etc., which seemed to be criticisms but were actually filled with heartache.

Of course, there were also people who did not believe it. They said that Su had a legitimate sister who was the empress in the palace, so how could she be wronged in the Marquis' Mansion? It was obvious that it was the original wife who had no family background who was wronged. However, such voices were very rare and were gradually suppressed.

When Xie Hou saw the wind direction suddenly change, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Old Madam Xie kept fainting and waking up, and fainting again and again. It was unclear whether she was really fainting or just trying to avoid quiet.

Xie Yunfeng sent out several people in succession to try to change public opinion. Xie Nianchu even found her best friends and cried about how Xie Yunxiao had bullied them over the years.

But everyone knew what their attitude towards Xie Yunxiao was over the years. Those seemingly close friends would tell their family members about these things as jokes when they got home.

The entire marquis's mansion suddenly became the target of public criticism.

In the palace, the emperor naturally also knew the news. Looking at the memorials on the desk, his brows were twisted with worry.

He didn't blame Xie Yunxiao for drawing a line between himself and the Marquis' Mansion, but he felt that doing so was really rash.

He is now deeply favored by the emperor and is full of energy and ambition, but now that the situation has become so serious, without the support of the Marquis' Mansion, he will have to rely on himself in the future. I'm afraid the matter of arranging a marriage will be a bit difficult.

It's not that his status is not high enough, it's that those aristocratic families are unwilling to marry someone with a bad family background or trouble.

Later, the emperor told the princess about this concern, and the princess relayed Jiang Yuan's original words, "Thank you, Fourth Brother, you are now a golden bachelor with a car and a house, and both your parents have passed away.

When a girl gets married, she becomes the mistress of the house, without parents-in-law who give orders, and no complicated relationships with relatives.

Marrying into such a family makes you feel good and your life longer than others."

The emperor was speechless. What he said seemed, as if, to make some sense.

But who is “Wang Laowu”?
