A few hours later, Li Kerong came out from the mansion of her close friend, thinking that Zhenxiu Zhai had launched a new flavor of pastries, and took her maid to buy pastries.

Zhenxiu Zhai is the most famous pastry chain store in Huiguo. It has stores all over the country. The owner's surname is Huang. I heard that the backstage is quite big, but until now no one knows who the backstage of Zhenxiu Zhai is.

Li Kerong came to buy cakes temporarily, so she had to queue up like everyone else.But before it was her turn, she listened to the gossips of those gossiping women in front of her, and couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd.

"Miss..." The maid was frightened.

"Didn't you say it's done?" Li Kerong asked, "Is that what you said it's done?"

"Those women clearly promised not to talk nonsense." The maid was about to cry from fright.

"How much silver did you give them?"

"One...a tael of silver per person. Maybe it's because there are too few, those women are greedy, so they violated our agreement." The maid did not dare to look at Li Kerong, her eyes dodged.

Li Kerong didn't notice it, she just blamed those women who took the money but didn't follow the rules, and spread the news about Qi Shiyi and Lu Shaoyu to everyone, which caused a lot of trouble.

"The Qi family can't afford to offend them." Li Kerong said, "If Shiyi knows about this and blames me, what should I do? This is a woman's reputation at stake."

"Anyway, if we don't say it, others won't recognize who Miss is, and Miss Qi won't know who spread those words." The maid came up with an idea.

"If you don't say it, others will. You think Miss Xing is a vegetarian, will you help us hide this matter? She wants us to offend sister Qi."

"Miss stood up for her, even if such a situation happened, Miss Qi's family can't completely blame Miss, can she?"

"Okay, let's tell the truth!" Li Kerong said, "Sister Qi is not stupid, she can figure out that this matter is related to me only from the gossip. If I tell the truth, I can figure out a way."

Qi family.After hearing the maid's report, Qi Shiyi's expression turned ugly.

"Miss, there are all such rumors outside, what should we do now?"

Chu Ningzhu walked in from the outside and said, "Rumors are spreading everywhere, what you can do now is to make the rumors self-defeating."

"Mother." Qi Shiyi stood up.

"Sit down!" Chu Ningzhu sat beside her, "Daughter, Mother told you that the most important thing for a woman is her own reputation. If her reputation is gone, who will think highly of you?"

"But mother, you also said that if you have someone you like, you must fight for it, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." Qi Shiyi said, "Although my daughter has just returned to the capital, I have heard some..."

"Shi Yi." Chu Ningzhu's expression changed drastically.

"Mother, I don't mean anything else, I just think that mother was so brave when she was young, how could she let her be a deserter?"

"Mother is asking you to fight, not to force you." Chu Ningzhu said, "When I first knew what you were thinking, I also fought for you, but you also saw that the other party had no intention. Since no intention, then you shouldn't Forcing. My daughter is so outstanding, there are countless people who want to marry you, why do you wrong yourself?"

"But, I only like this one."

"What about now? Your father is so angry that you have caused so much trouble. You still only like this one?"

"I've seen the best beauty in the world, and I can't see anything else."

"Mother's suggestion to you is to go to Tongyang City to find the King of Medicine earlier and heal your face. If a woman ruins her appearance, who will marry you in the future? Even if your father's official position rises further, it will be the same of."

The butler came in from the outside and said, "Madam, the master asked Miss to go to the study."

"Mother..." Qi Shiyi became nervous.

Chu Ningzhu said, "I'll go with you."

"The master said, Miss went to find him alone." The housekeeper added, "Madam, you know the master's temper."

"Then you go, talk to your father, don't disobey him." Chu Ningzhu warned.

Qi Shiyi nodded: "Okay."

Chu Ningzhu was waiting in the room for Qi Shiyi to come back.Qi Shiyi had been in the study for a long time, she drank a pot of tea in a row, and she hadn't seen her back yet.

"Ma'am, Miss Li is visiting." The servant came in from outside to report.

"Please come in." Chu Ningzhu said.

After Li Kerong came in with the servant, seeing Chu Ningzhu waiting for her in Qi Shiyi's room, she felt uneasy.

"I have seen Mrs."

"Shiyi was found by her father, I'm afraid she won't come back so soon, please sit down for a while. Come and serve tea."

"Ma'am, don't bother."

"I know you have a good relationship with Shiyi. When I see Shiyi later, you help me persuade her to go to Tongyang City to treat her face earlier. I am very worried about the injury on her face. If it takes too long After a long time, what should I do if I have scars in the future? That girl is stubborn, just like her father, who only cares about her temper and doesn't think about the long-term."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I will persuade her." As for whether she would listen or not, it was not up to her to decide.

Rather than saying that they are close friends in the boudoir, it is better to say that she attached herself to Qi Shiyi wishfully, and wanted to use her status to make her life easier at home, to be valued by the family, and to let them know that she is a useful person.

"I still have something to do, so I won't wait for her here. You can drink tea here and wait a while!" Chu Ningzhu said.

"it is good."

Not long after Chu Ningzhu left, Qi Shiyi came back.

Her face was flushed, and she seemed to be in good spirits.

Seeing her like this, Li Kerong was a little less nervous.

She should be in a good mood, so if she finds out that the matter is related to her later, she shouldn't be too angry and embarrass her, right?

"You're here." Qi Shiyi said, "Sit down."

"When I came here just now, I saw Madam, she looked quite worried." Li Kerong probed, "Did something happen?"

"My mother wants me to go to Tongyang City earlier." Qi Shiyi said, "I know her worries, but it's completely unnecessary. Although the imperial doctors can't cure my face, they have been treating it with good medicine, at least not deterioration."

"Then when are you going to go?"

"Let's wait a while!"

After Qi Shiyi finished speaking, she looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you care about when I go to Tongyang City? Could it be that my mother asked you to be a lobbyist?"

"Madam can't even persuade you, and I can't persuade you. But there is something I want to tell you..." Li Kerong wrung the handkerchief and mustered up the courage to tell what happened just now. "I didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly. The worst thing is those women. They obviously took advantage of it and promised not to go out and talk nonsense. But I haven't returned home yet. Everyone knows about it..."

"When I heard about this matter, I guessed that it was related to you." Qi Shiyi said, "Except for you, who would care so much about my affairs? I'm afraid even my own brother doesn't care about my happiness."

"How come..." Li Kerong saw that Qi Shiyi was not angry, the tension in her eyes disappeared, and her whole body was not as stiff as before, so she relaxed. "Don't you blame me? I did something bad with good intentions."

"You also said that you did something bad with good intentions. Why should I blame you? You treat me as a friend and think of me everywhere. If I blame you for this accident, wouldn't it be a white-eyed wolf?" Qi Shiyi pulled her hand He said with his hand, "I won't talk about these things. I just bought a few Bu Yao, you can help me see which one looks better."

Seeing that Qi Shiyi was really not angry and seemed to be in a good mood, Li Kerong was relieved.

Her maid was also relieved.

"Is this good looking?"

"nice."

"This one suits you better." Qi Shiyi inserted a gorgeous golden step rocker on Li Kerong's head, "It's really pretty. This one is for you."

"I can't take it."

"Oh, we are sisters, I gave you a gift, why didn't you accept it?" Qi Shiyi said, "Look, this golden walk suits you so much!"

Li Kerong felt the weight of Jinbuyao, and knew that it was not only gorgeous and beautiful, but also very valuable, because it was solid.If it were hollow, Jinbuyao would not be as heavy as it is now.

When Li Kerong came out from Qi's house, the maid was holding two boxes in her hand, and Li Kerong was holding a box in her hand. These three boxes were filled with jewelry, which were expensive at first glance.

The maid said enviously: "Miss Qi is really generous."

Not to mention Li Kerong, not to mention these few pieces of jewelry, not even Li Yanran, the concubine's daughter.Thinking of this, Li Kerong puffed out her chest, feeling somewhat proud and satisfied.

Isn't Li Yanran on good terms with Yang Xiangjun?Why has Mr. Yang Xiang never given her such an expensive gift?As for her, she chose Qi Shiyi, who had just returned to Beijing and didn't have any friends, and she gained a lot in a short period of time.

"Miss, our worries before were unnecessary. You see that Miss Qi is in such a good mood. I'm afraid that if this matter gets out, it won't affect her at all."

Lu Wangfu.When Mu Siyu heard that Lu Shaoyu was back, he asked his subordinates to call Zhang Yi and Yang Zongsheng over.

Zhang Yi and Yang Zongsheng followed Lu Shaoyu all the time, from the yamen to the house, and then from home to the yamen. They were Lu Shaoyu's right-hand men in public and private, and knew many things that her own mother didn't know.

"I've seen Madam." Zhang Yi and Yang Zongsheng saluted.

At this moment, the hearts of the two of them were a little beating.

As Lu Shaoyu's people, they saw Lu Yi more often, but Madam almost never summoned them alone.

They have never dared to underestimate the wife, and they must know that the right to speak of the wife is very important in the family. If they make her unhappy, even their master can't protect them.

In the words of their master, the wife is at the top of the food chain.

At the beginning, they didn't understand. It was only after Young Master explained the relationship of the food chain to them that they understood.It is said that the person who first said this sentence was the lady.

"I heard that your son is famous again today."

"Ma'am, the master is a famous person in the capital. In this capital, except for the foreigners who just arrived, whoever stays here for two days doesn't know who the master is?"

"Do you still seem to be honored?" Mu Siyu said, "He was famous before because of his meritorious service in handling cases, and the people praised him as a good official for the country and the people. But now he is famous because of women, is he successful? "

"The master didn't do it on purpose either. He just went to Miss Xing's family to have a meal, buy something by the way, and then rushed to run errands. Who would have thought that Miss Xing's family would be made things difficult by someone, and the person who made things difficult for her was for the Qi family The lady is in her early years. Now there is a rumor outside that it is related to three women, and the master is also involved, and the master is also very wronged." Zhang Yi is a straightforward person, so he can say what he wants.

"Your master went to Miss Xing's family for dinner, and even bought something for her?" Mu Siyu heard the point of the words.

This is also where she is curious.

Miss Li's and Miss Qi's, although she is curious, she can probably guess a little bit.However, Lu Shaoyu took time out of his busy schedule to find Xing Jiashi for dinner, and even bought her a gift, which she did not expect.

Zhang Yi and Yang Zongsheng: "..."

Madam didn't seem very angry.

So, she was pretending just now?

"Okay, let me tell you, master, it's about the reputation of the three girls, he has to handle it properly, so as not to affect others." Mu Siyu said, "If you don't like it, you don't like it. Just make it clear and let the other party give up."

"Yes."

"The other thing is, Miss Qi's injury is so serious that it can't be delayed any longer." Mu Siyu said, "Well, I'll go to her personally and tell her to go to Tongyang City earlier."

The next day, Mu Siyu went to Qi's house in person, with the purpose of persuading Qi Shiyi to go to Tongyang City to heal his face.

Qi Shiyi readily agreed: "Princess Wangfei, don't worry, I have already made arrangements."

Mu Siyu looked at her with a smile: "It seems that I was thinking too much, I thought you were reluctant to leave your parents, and you didn't want to go far away!"

"I don't want to leave my parents, but I'm injured and must be healed sooner, so I can't let them worry about it!" Qi Shiyi said, "Is the princess listening to the rumors outside and worrying that Shiyi is going to make a fool of herself? Don't worry, Shiyi is not such a stupid person. I admit that I really admire Lord Xiaolu, how many women in this capital don't admire him? Do you have to do stupid things for him if you admire him?"

"Then you mean..."

"I know that Lord Xiaolu is going to marry the sisters of the Xing family, and he must bless them. I am a girl from the Qi family. I can afford it and let it go, so I won't embarrass Lord Lu." Qi Shiyi said, "There is no rush these days. I was rushing on the road because I wanted to prepare, lest there be any mistakes on the road, I would be in a hurry and at a loss. Now that I am almost ready, it is time to set off."

Mu Siyu looked at Chu Ningzhu who was beside her.

Chu Ningzhu nodded, indicating that what Qi Shiyi said was true.

"It just so happens that the Qin family's caravan is also going to Tongyang City, do you want to go together?" Mu Siyu said, "The Qin family's caravan has been traveling north and south for many years, and knows which route is the smoothest and least hindered, so it can save a lot of travel Detour, you can also go to Tongyang City earlier to meet Yao Wang."

"Okay, then I will trouble the princess to introduce Shiyi." Qi Shiyi saluted, looking gentle and generous, with an extraordinary temperament.

Mu Siyu couldn't help thinking: Did she think too much?
