Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

Muzi, what on earth is going on? Why did things in our family spread outside? Lu Shixiang, dressed in rich clothes, walked in from the door. As soon as he saw Xia Ziqing, he opened his mouth asked shamelessly.

Even if the news about Xiajiacun were to be spread, could it reach Belvedere so quickly?

What's more, the immoral things Xia Guchun did were all done in Xiajia Village and had nothing to do with her son. How could it be spread so badly?

She didn't know it yet, but she discussed it with her son yesterday and wanted to use some of the money she brought over, plus the money her son earned these days, to open a small shop in Belvedere to make a living.

She went out to find a shop.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't find the shop, but I came back very angry.

People all over the street talked about how her son was immoral and how he had done bad things together with his father. They talked about it with their own eyes, as if they had all seen it with their own eyes.

If this continues, how can her Muzi stay in Belvedere?

In this big place, the most important thing is reputation. No one will like a person without reputation.

Muzi, tell mother, have you offended someone? she asked guessing.

Apart from this possibility, she really couldn't think of any other possibility. Who could ruin her son's reputation to such an extent?

Mom, please don't worry about this matter. Xia Ziqing had just returned from outside not long ago. He originally wanted to go into the palace because the emperor had made an appointment with him yesterday to talk about something.

However, before he entered the palace today, he was stopped at the entrance of the palace. He said that the emperor had no time to see him and asked him to come back first.

Originally, he didn't know what happened, but on the way back, he heard the gossip, which made him furious.

Besides Dongfang Yu, who else would ruin his reputation in Belvedere and prevent him from having an easy time?

After he said those words in front of Dongfang Yu yesterday, he felt something was wrong when he returned home, fearing that Dongfang Yu would take revenge on him because of his relationship with Xia Beibei.

Unexpectedly, it really came true today, Dongfang Yu really dared to take revenge on him.

He is someone close to the emperor. Is Dongfang Yu really not afraid that the emperor will punish him because of this?

Don't worry about it. It's your reputation. If you continue like this, your career will be ruined. Lu Shixiang's face was full of anxiety.

How could she not be anxious? She also worked in a wealthy family. Can she not know what the consequences would be for a person with a bad reputation?

Hearing this, Xia Ziqing's eyes couldn't help but darken.

The emperor must have heard the rumors outside, otherwise, he would not even want to see him.

What's more, the emperor heard Xia Xiaoju tell those things in his ears and in front of him yesterday. The emperor must be convinced at this moment.

Xia Xiaoju! I will never let you go! He bit his lip and said fiercely.

Xia Xiaoju, what Xia Xiaoju? Lu Shixiang was stunned when she heard what he said.

But soon, she said she came to her senses. Could it be that her son was talking about Xia Xiaoju from Xia Daodao's family?

Doesn't that little girl follow Xia Beibei all day long? Aren't they still in Xiajia Village? What does this matter have to do with them?

Muzi, are you saying that Xia Jiuniang and the others have also arrived in the capital?

Xia Ziqing looked at Lu Shixiang a little and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

It was useless for him to regret now. The emperor actually avoided him. What else could he do?

But he didn't expect that the emperor would choose to abandon him directly for Dongfang Yu. He should think about how to bring the Sacred Heart back.

But what can be done?

A petty official like him usually has no chance to see the emperor's face. He has to wait for the emperor to summon him. Now that the emperor doesn't want to see him, he can't find anything out even if he tries hard outside.

Damn it, that bitch Xia Jiuniang actually dares to do this to you! Lu Shixiang was furious.

The rumors outside must be related to Xia Beibei. If Prince Dongfang hadn't been behind it, and her family Muzi was just a minor official, how could those rumors spread so fast.

She also doesn't want to think about how you treated her back then, and now that you have a backer, you completely ignore the original friendship.

This woman's conscience was simply eaten by a dog, right?

What's wrong with her family? Muzi was appreciated by the emperor in the capital, and he could become a high official in the future. How could he be inferior to a young prince in a remote fiefdom?

Xia Beibei just didn't like it, but she actually came to disrupt the situation and wanted to ruin Muzi's reputation.

This time, she must not spare Xia Beibei, absolutely not!

Muzi, tell mother, where is that stinky girl Xia Jiuniang now? Mother should go and reason with her! Lu Shixiang asked Xia Ziqing.

Mom, please stop causing trouble for me and don't mess with Jiuniang. Xia Ziqing frowned when he heard her words.

He now understood that whether Dongfang Yu was just the crown prince or not, he still held a very important position in the emperor's heart, and he was just a person favored by the emperor on a whim, and could not ascend to the throne.

Maybe, in order to please Dongfang Yu, the emperor would send him directly to Dongfang Yu and let him beat and scold him.

As smart as the emperor, how could he not know that those rumors on the streets of Belvedere were simply spread by Dongfang Yu?

Wha... what are you adding to the chaos? Mom is aggrieved for you. Lu Shixiang became even more dissatisfied when she heard what he said.

It's amazing that Xia Beibei has Dongfang Yu backing her up. She doesn't care about her former friendship at all.

She knew very well in her heart that if it weren't for Xia Beibei, her consonant would not have died at all. It was all Xia Beibei's fault.

Don't think that you can deceive everyone by pretending to be innocent. You can deceive everyone, but you can't deceive her either!

Muzi, tell mother where that damn girl lives. Mother must make her look good this time!

Okay, mother, you can go back and rest. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. How could Xia Ziqing tell Lu Shixiang where Xia Beibei lived.

Now he knew that Dongfang Yu was someone he couldn't mess with for the time being, and it was even less likely that he would let Lu Shixiang make trouble.

If Dongfang Yu is angered again, what he will do is beyond his imagination. And obviously, the emperor is on Dongfang Yu's side and he cannot offend him.

Muzi, Muzi... Lu Shixiang looked at Xia Ziqing striding away and stamped his feet angrily.
