Chapter 124 Rumors
The sun rose as usual, but the laughter in the county lord's mansion was no longer the same as before. The children knew that the girl was poisoned, and they were also worried.

The stewards are in the meeting hall.

Mr. Zhou's handsome face was full of gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that only Mrs. Hu has problems in the family, and everyone else is innocent."

The mammy was hoarse and mentally weak, but she still insisted and said: "Young lady treats people generously, they finally did not disappoint her, but this Hu family, how can she do this, the young lady treats her most courteously."

Shan Qing hurried in.

"Mr. Zhou, Nanny, Your Highness has found Mrs. Hu and Niuniu, but Mrs. Hu has drowned, and Niuniu was found in the warehouse of Xiulou."

"What? Could it be that Mrs. Hu committed suicide in fear of crime?"

"Mommy, it probably is. Niuniu's padded jacket has Hu's blood book sewn inside, take a look."

It is indeed Hu's writing. Although the blood has dried, there is still a stench.

The blood book reads: "Girl, I, Mrs. Hu, am sorry for you, so I will pay for your life. Knowing that you are merciful, I will not embarrass Niu Niu. But before I die, I want to ask you one more thing, don't put Niu Niu was brought up by that villain with a human face and a heart of a beast, please take her in the Baby Girl Hall. I will be your cow and horse in my next life to repay your kindness."

Mammy finished watching and fell to the ground: "Mr. Hu, Mrs. Hu, how dare you?" Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help Mammy up, and Lanyue persuaded Mammy to go back and rest, but she refused to do anything.

"Nurse, I'm here. The girl loves you the most. If she sees you in such a mess, I'm afraid she will feel uneasy, and it's not conducive to recuperating. You should go and rest with Lanyue."

After listening to Mr. Zhou's words, Nanny went back to the house supported by Lanyue.

"Where is Niuniu? Have you found the villain mentioned in the blood book?"

"His Highness is trying to get some words out of Niu Niu's mouth. I believe there will be a result soon. However, Niu Niu is also poisoned."

"Who would poison such a young child?" Mr. Zhou paused, looked at Shan Qing and said, "Could it be that this scoundrel is Niuniu's father?"

"Your Highness thinks the same way. Hu's family probably killed the girl just to save Niuniu."

Near noon, Xuan Yue came to see Yan Yu.Yan Yu's complexion has improved a lot today, and she is happily accepting Xuan Yue's feeding.

"Eat another one. This is a meatball made according to the prescription written by Dr. Zhong. I promise you won't vomit, and it's smooth in the mouth and has an excellent taste." Xuan Yue was urging her to eat one more.

"Well, then I'll eat another one. Xuan Yue, I'm much better today, and I really want to go for a walk."

"No problem, I will accompany you."

Yan Yu leaned against Xuan Yue and walked slowly, looking at the blackness in front of his eyes, she could only turn a blind eye.

"Xuan Yue, when I get well, I still want to see the new house you arranged."

"Okay, this king will definitely satisfy you. The dressing table in the palace has not been finalized yet, and it is waiting for you to decide."

"What do you think of the one in my room? It was used by my mother. I like this one the most."

"Then I'll ask a craftsman to take a look and make an identical one, how about that?"

"Um"

"Your Highness, Xiao Shunzi has something to ask to see."

Both of them thumped in their hearts, but Yan Yu pretended nothing happened, and said, "Xuan Yue, I'm tired from walking, and I want to go back and lie down, so go get busy first."

Xuan Yue knew that Xiao Shunzi would not bother them at such a time, could something have happened?

"Okay, Yu'er, I'll come see you later, do you have anything you want to eat, I'll bring it for you?"

She really had no appetite, but she still smiled and said coquettishly: "Xuan Yue, I just want to eat the glutinous rice balls from Chunxi Tower, can you tell me if it's good?"

Chunxi Building is closed for business these few days, which is a bit difficult.

"Then what's the problem, just wait, I will definitely bring it to you."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Yue was about to leave here, but Yan Yu pulled his sleeve with a smile and refused to let him go.

"Xuan Yue, kiss me before leaving."

She felt sorry for the bruises in his eyes, and he felt sorry for the paleness of her little face. After he kissed her like a dragonfly, he rubbed her little face and said, "Be patient for now. After the wedding, this king will definitely satisfy you." .”

"Who wants you to satisfy? You rascal!"

"Hahaha, wait for the king to come back."

Yan Yu hugged the quilt in her arms, watched him with a sweet smile, and only put away her smile when he was out of sight.

"What's the matter?" Xuan Yue pinched his brows lightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, it's not good. Some folks spread the word, saying... that the county lord is pregnant."

"What? Who released the news?"

"Your Highness, sorry for the incompetence of the villain, and there is no gain for the time being. But I can be sure that it is not the people of the county lord's mansion or the imperial doctors who leaked the news."

"Then it can only be the real culprit behind the scenes. Go and call Zhou Zijin."

"Yes, little one, let's go."

After Xiao Shunzi left, Xuan Yue said, "Lin Jian, go and investigate this matter, and you must find out who is behind the scenes."

Only a calm male voice replied: "Yes, Your Highness."

Then, everything fell silent.

Not long after, Zhou Zijin and the others arrived, panting.

"Your Highness, I don't know why you called the grassroots here?"

Xuan Yue looked at the person in front of him, he was handsome, fair-skinned, and looked like a refined scholar. He used to be jealous of him, but now he had no choice but to use him.

"Zijin, Mammy is old, and I can only trust you now by the county lord's side. In the next few days, I won't be by Yu'er's side all the time, can you protect her and prevent her from being troubled by rumors?"

"Your Highness, the grass people will definitely live up to their trust."

"The house is too quiet today, if the children don't want to play, let them go to study, don't make Yu'er suspicious."

"Yes!"

"The rumors outside the house... are not true. Yu'er is pure and pure, and she is not pregnant. You must be clear in your hearts."

"Pregnant?"

"girl!"

"Yu'er, you, why did you come out?"

She was wearing a thick fox fur cloak, and only her snow-white face was exposed. I felt pity for her, but the trembling voice... the hearts of everyone fell to the bottom of the valley.

"Xuan Yue, am I pregnant? But how could it be? We didn't do anything?" She held his hand, insisting on an answer from him.

Xuan Yue knew that he couldn't hide it, but he had to tell her what the truth was, and he couldn't let her know a single word.

"Yu'er, you go back to your room, I'll tell you right away."

Everyone entered the room together, even Nanny Xian came in a hurry.

It turned out that she had suffered from Huaxisan, which is why she had these nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and fainting reactions.

"Xuan Yue, are the people behind the scenes trying to ruin my reputation? I have no grievances or enmities with anyone..."

No, she didn't have no grievances with others. That person once put her to death, and now I'm afraid he won't let her go easily!
But she has no proof, so she can't easily announce her name.
