Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 199 Malicious slander, the princess rescued (3)
Qiu Mingqi was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw the man's gaze, he felt displeased.

"Who are you? How do you know my fifth sister?"

"I..." The man's face was reddish, and he seemed a little embarrassed and embarrassed.Facing Qiu Mingqi's staring gaze, he thought for a while, and seemed to have finally made up his mind.

"I'm Pei Sizqi, a native of Yangzhou. I lost my father and mother early on. Thanks to Miss Fifth's donation, I can..."

"It's nonsense." Qiu Mingqi couldn't help being slightly angry when he saw that the pilgrims coming down the mountain all stopped. "My fifth sister grew up in a boudoir since childhood. Yangzhou is no less than ten thousand miles away from the capital. How has my fifth sister ever been there?"

Pei Sizhao was startled, "Fifth Miss, didn't you used to live in Yangzhou?" After he finished speaking, he felt that he had slipped his tongue and immediately stopped talking.However, the people around have already heard this sentence.Immediately understand the mystery.The voices of pointing and pointing were endless.

"Yangzhou? Didn't Miss Qiuwu grow up in Beijing?"

"You don't know that, Miss Qiuwu didn't grow up in Beijing, but she was sent to Yangzhou because she was sick and couldn't be raised in the mansion when she was born." There is an 'insider' disclose.

"Cut, what kind of sickness can't be raised at home?" Someone beside him mocked: "There are so many famous doctors in the capital, are you afraid that you can't cure the disease? What's more, the Qiu family is a famous family. More than a month ago, who of you Have you ever heard of Miss Qiu Wu?"

"That's right." The people around started to discuss again, "Then what's wrong with Miss Qiu Wu?"

Gossip is a custom that cannot be changed by any dynasty, especially these boudoir women, who have nothing to do all day long, know that the parents of the east and the west are short-lived. Originally, the fifth young lady of the Qiu family who suddenly appeared in the Qiu family some time ago, the Qiu family's explanations to the outside world are not clear. Some are high-sounding.At this moment, another man like this came out and said he knew Qiu Mingyue, which naturally aroused their curiosity.

"You still don't understand?" The woman who spoke just now had an arrogant expression on her face, "I heard that Master Qiu often went to Yangzhou for ten days and half a month. Think about it, Master Qiu is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. , in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in the capital, why go to Yangzhou for no reason? Is there anything in Yangzhou worthy of his nostalgia?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but her eyes were full of meaning, and the people around her already understood, and they covered their lips and laughed.

"I've heard for a long time that Master Qiu doesn't have many wives and concubines. I thought he was an upright man, but I didn't expect his heart to be far away in Yangzhou."

The eldest lady was sitting in the front carriage, her face was darkened upon hearing this, and her eyes were angry.Mrs. Xue Guohou glanced at her, "Calm down." She sat quietly, her eyes slightly cold.This time, she wanted to see how Qiu Mingyue escaped everyone's mouth.

Although Qiu Mingyue's carriage was far away, people in twos and threes, who did not shy away from speaking, naturally reached her ears.She was not angry, and her face was still calm, while Qiu Mingxu and Qiu Mingzhu beside her were worried.Hong E was already blushing with anger, and wanted to rush out several times, but was stopped by Qiu Mingyue's eyes.

The discussion didn't stop, it continued on its own.

"By the way, do you know? Just a few days ago, this Miss Qiu Wu galloped into the suburbs in the street. Many people saw her. Those who heard her face were astonished."

"Hehe... Naturally, the person who can make Mrs. Qiu think about it like that is naturally a great beauty. Although Mrs. Qiu is not a stunning beauty, she is also very good-looking, and she is from a famous family. This can't tie her husband Heart, it can be seen that people have more means."

A cold light shot out of Qiu Mingyue's eyes, but she still didn't move.She wants to see what they want to do this time.

"So, this Miss Qiuwu is the daughter of the outer chamber?"

The words were spoken softly, but enough for everyone to hear.

Lu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to get out of the car, but suddenly heard an angry shout.

"You are not allowed to say that about Miss Qiuwu."

Lu Yuan raised her head in astonishment, but it was Pei Siki who looked angry.There was a pause in the surrounding voices, and then someone started talking again.

"Didn't you say you are from Yangzhou? Do you know Miss Qiuwu?"

Pei Sizqi looked cold and arrogant, "Fifth Miss is my savior, what she did for me, even if Pei Sizhao spends her life working hard, she can't repay her."

Qiu Mingyue sneered, Pei Siqi defended her every word, but every word put her in a situation where she could never be restored.What do you call what she did for him?What is life-saving grace?As a daughter of a boudoir, how can she meet outside men?How to save him?What did you do for him?What he said was very ambiguous and could easily be misunderstood.She was unwilling to be lonely in her boudoir, and met the man privately, and even developed a friendship with him, disregarding boudoir training, and degraded herself for a man.Even, promiscuous.

The capital is the residence of nobles, and those at the foot of Baohua Temple are also noble ladies.If this rumor spreads, her life will be ruined.

Qiu Mingqi couldn't listen anymore, and said coldly: "Mr. Pei, you keep saying that my fifth sister saved your life, but do you have evidence?"

"This..." Pei Siqi seemed to hesitate, and his face was slightly ashamed.

"Forgive me for not being able to produce evidence."

Qiu Mingqi sneered, "Talking nonsense without evidence, you know that spreading rumors and causing trouble to insult my Qiu family, for this crime alone, I can send you to the government."

Pei Siqi was gentle and refined, neither angry nor afraid, seemed a little helpless.

"I'm thinking of Miss Fifth's Qingyu, so I can't present evidence in full view, and look to Second Young Master Haihan." He looked at the carriage where Qiu Mingyue was in with endless thoughts and affection.He hesitated to speak.

Obviously misses the person he loves, but he doesn't want to ruin his reputation and is willing to be annoyed and misunderstood.So affectionate, who can doubt?
Immediately, people around him began to support him, "Young Master Pei, how long have you known Miss Qiuwu? How did you know each other?"

Pei Siqi blushed slightly, bowed his head and said politely: "Today, exactly one year and two months."

With a movement of Qiu Mingyue's eyes, she slightly raised the curtain of the car, squinted her eyes to look at Pei Sichi, and put down the curtain after just one glance.

no……

Hong E watched her movements, and let go of her raised heart.

The situation outside the carriage is not so optimistic.

"One year?" Someone exclaimed, "How did Fifth Miss help you?"

"This..." Pei Siqi seemed to hesitate, looking at Qiu Mingyue's carriage frequently.

Qiu Mingyue leaned back, with a smug smile on her face, and then her lazy and elegant voice came out.

"Since Mr. Pei said he knew me, why didn't he want to let others know? I asked myself that I was honest and innocent, and there was no secret that I couldn't tell others. Since Mr. Pei came today, why bother to hesitate? Could it be that there are other difficulties?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, not only Pei Sizhao was stunned, but everyone around her was also stunned.
