The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 100 Langjiu is in trouble in Wujing

The winter is bleak and the New Year is getting closer. The city of Wujing is already decorated with red and green. The cold weather cannot stop the people from coming to buy New Year's goods. All the shops are crowded with people, and the teahouses and restaurants are also full.

The topic of discussion in Wujing is new every day. The one that has been discussed recently is an unknown young lady. It is said that she grew up in the countryside, has vulgar behavior, is a talkative person with a bad mouth, and is also weak and looks like she will die young.

Shen Qinghe was sitting in the tea room, listening to the laughter and discussions coming from next door, his brows furrowed. Why did these words sound so much like that girl Lang Jiu?

No, the Lang family is in mourning now, so she should be staying at home. Besides, she grew up in Zhuangzi and seldom traveled to Wujing. How come she suddenly got such a reputation?

Is there someone guiding us from behind?

Shen Qinghe's face darkened, and he glanced at the servant beside him, Changgui: "Go check who they are talking about..."

Before he finished speaking, someone next door asked with a sweet smile, "Look at what Master Zhou said. Whose young lady is so capable that she can curse people so hard that they can't get out of bed? If you put it that way, wouldn't she just curse someone with her mouth? This is too horrifying."

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the girl from Kaiping Marquis's mansion who was raised on the farm since she was a child. She seems to be the ninth child in the family?"

Click.

Shen Qinghe placed the teacup heavily on the table, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. It really was that child.

Changgui saw the look on his master's face and said quickly, "Sir, shall I go and send them away right away?"

"What are you sending away? Since there are rumors like this, someone must have spread them on purpose. Go check the source and find out how they came about. How long has she been back from the manor? It has been less than a month since the old marquis passed away, and the number of days she has been out can probably be counted on one's ten fingers. In such a short period of time, she has become famous in Wujing. If there is no one behind this, did she spread the rumors herself?" Shen Qinghe's face was ashen and his eyes were red as he said, "She is just a little girl who has not even reached the age of marriage yet, and you say she has a bad mouth and is weak and short-lived. This is to crush her to death in the mud."

No matter which reputation it is, it is not a good reputation for a girl. If it gets out, how can she get married? Even if she can, how many people can recognize her talent? I guess the people who told her about it are all messed up bastards.

He slanders people with bad reputation and kills people without using a knife. He is so vicious!
"In fact, it was just angry words between the girls. It can't be considered a jinx, right?" A very elegant voice said, "I was also there at the time. The Guiyang County Princess returned to Beijing and rode her horse in the street. I don't know why their horse suddenly got scared and bumped into her. The girl was just advising the county princess to accumulate blessings. It can't be considered a curse, right?"

Shen Qinghe narrowed his eyes. The Princess of Guiyang County was from the family of Qi Zuyao. So that's how it was. Could it be that she had suffered a major setback at the hands of Lang Jiu?
He glanced at Changgui, who immediately bowed and stepped out to ask someone to investigate.

"Brother Fang, you don't know, apart from the Guiyang County Lady, do you know what is the most serious curse that her crow mouth has ever cursed?" Young Master Zhou asked in a low voice.

"Appreciate further details."

"Mr. Zhao, the former Minister of Personnel." Young Master Zhou said, "I heard, well, I heard that when Mr. Zhao went to the Kaiping Marquis's residence to pay his respects, Lang Jiu told him that he would not live for three days. You all know the result... I heard that the Zhao family is now eager to kill that woman."

There was a clear gasp from the next box.

"This is just a coincidence, right?"

"Maybe. First there was Lord Zhao, and then there was this Guiyang County Lady. If I were to ask her, even if the Crow's Mouth is not true, this woman is a bit weird."

"Now that you mention it, I would like to see this young lady and see what she looks like. Is she like a yaksha?"

Everyone laughed. Shen Qinghe's face couldn't be any darker, and his eyebrows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" character. The death of his teacher would definitely be spread out. If it was spread in the mourning hall of the Marquis's Mansion, it meant that someone in the Lang Family Mansion had a gossip.

How could Lang Zhengping be the head of a family? He could let people spread such rumors, and they were so outrageous, saying that the Zhao family wanted to kill Lang Jiuchuan. It was ridiculous!
Lang Zhengping's ears were burning and his face was ashen, because he had just heard the rumors outside from Gao Ping. He stood up and strode towards the main courtyard.

The servants in the mansion need to be screened.

Let's talk about Shen Qinghe. He was about to stand up and go to the next room to scold someone, but he heard a commotion over there. Someone shouted in a deep voice, "You are a student, but you are gossiping like a gossipress, tarnishing other people's reputation. You have no sense of propriety, integrity, and shame. You are reading the books of sages in vain."

This voice sounds familiar.

It’s Master Xue.

Shen Qinghe walked quickly to the door, opened the door to the private room, and saw Master Xue pointing at the next private room and cursing loudly with fierce and sharp words.

He felt inexplicably pleased.

This is the first time I feel that this person's sharp tongue is so appealing.

Shen Qinghe wiped the corner of his eyes with emotion to wipe away the moisture that had seeped out.

Xue Shiyong had originally made an appointment with a good friend to meet in this teahouse, but his friend had an urgent matter and had not yet arrived. He thought of getting a private room to wait for him, but he met Su Junma, a member of the royal family, who also had an appointment with someone, coincidentally, it was Shen Qinghe.

As a result, he heard the people in the box talking nonsense and spreading rumors to slander a little girl, who was his teacher Xue's benefactor.

Even if Master Xue didn't know Lang Jiuchuan, he would not remain indifferent when hearing such words. At most, he would make a few sarcastic remarks. But the bad thing was that he had received a favor from Lang Jiuchuan, so he was naturally more angry.

Shen Qinghe walked over, bowed to Su Junma first, then greeted Master Xue, looked inside the door, recognized the people inside, and said, "Master Xue, don't be angry. A gentleman should be careful with his words. None of them can do that. It shows that they have bad character. I'm afraid they won't be able to take on important responsibilities in the future. I'm afraid they can't serve as officials in the same court as me, let alone become students of Lu Ning Academy."

The people inside the door looked ashen.

They are all young masters of Wujing. Even if they were not born and raised here, they have studied here for many years. Now, just because they said a few too much, they were scolded by the great scholars in the academy and said by the iron-faced third-rank official that they are not capable of taking on a heavy responsibility. If this gets out, what future do they have?

"That's right. Instead of studying hard, you ruin other people's reputation like gossips. You even bring beautiful women with you when you drink tea. How can you be a complete talent? You are not worthy of being my advisor!" Master Xue flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Shen Qinghe kept these people in mind and decided to have someone find out whose son they were. He vowed to report the young master for not educating his children properly.

He and Su Junma caught up with Master Xue, invited him to the next private room, and asked someone to serve tea and snacks again.

In the box called Miss Zhou, the two beautiful women sitting next to him blushed with shame, lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Everyone looked at each other with various expressions, but the one with the surname Fang looked ashamed. He stood up first and bowed to say goodbye.

They were so unlucky today. They were just discussing a new topic, but were heard by a big shot and scolded on the spot. How could they face the public if this got out?
