Chapter 252 Making Rumors
noon the next day.

Ming Garden.

Xianglan pushed the door open, and Lin Qingrou couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? After grandma returns home, will Lin Qingqian go to Jinglan Garden to see her?"

Xianglan said: "Miss Hui, after the old lady returned to the mansion, the third lady has been staying in Liuyuan, never going out, let alone going to Jinglanyuan to see the old lady."

Since yesterday, Lin Qingrou's uneasiness caused by Lin Qingqian's words has completely disappeared.

She curled her lips, sneered disdainfully, and said: "Lin Qingqian is nothing more than that, she thought she was capable, but fortunately she still knew herself, and she didn't go to grandma beyond her limits, otherwise she thought she would just rely on her Open your mouth, will grandma really take back mother's right to run the house!"

Xianglan hesitated to speak: "But miss, the third lady went to Jiangyuan yesterday..."

"Why are you hesitating! If you have something to say, hurry up!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Xianglan no longer concealed it, and told Lin Qingrou that she had overheard something today.

"It is said that someone saw the third young lady coming out with Qiu Dong not long after she entered the Jiangyuan yesterday, and the faces of the two young ladies seemed to have...been beaten, but the second young master returned home last night, but did not see Jiang. There was little movement in the garden, and there were rumors that the third lady used some means to restrain the two young wives."

Lin Qingrou frowned slightly upon hearing this.

After a while, she said disapprovingly: "Tang and Jiang are just timid and fearful. What else can Lin Qingqian do, but rely on her grandmother to love her."

After hearing this, Xianglan felt that it was not unreasonable, and agreed: "Yes, Miss is right."

Knowing that Lin Qingqian didn't dare to complain to the old lady at all, Lin Qingrou was completely relieved, and said to Xiang Lan: "Don't worry about these things, let's go, mother told me to go and have lunch with her."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

willow garden.

Chun Xia looked worried, and looked towards the door frequently.

Early this morning, after Lin Qingqian changed Qiu Dong's medicine, he changed into men's clothes. Chun Xia said suspiciously: "Miss, you went to Sunrise Mansion, didn't you change into men's clothes and go to Yue Lai Fang outside the mansion? Why did you change into men's clothes today? superior?"

Lin Qingqian said: "Today I want to leave the mansion through the entrance of Liyuan, not to Yuelaifang and Yanyu Building."

"Miss, you are..."

"I have something to do. You take care of Qiu Dong in the mansion, and I will come back as soon as I go."

"Miss, you want to leave the house alone? This is not acceptable! It is too dangerous for you to be alone!"

"Nothing! Don't worry."

Lin Qingqian resolutely rejected Chun Xia who wanted to go with her, and went out of the house alone. Seeing that it was past noon and they hadn't returned home yet, Chun Xia was very worried.

Finally the figure in the crescent-colored white robe appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and Chun Xia said happily: "Miss, you are back!"

Lin Qingqian nodded, "Let's go in and talk about it."

"Yes, ma'am."

After entering the bedroom and changing the men's clothes, Lin Qingqian asked, "How is the situation in autumn and winter? After I leave the mansion, has anyone visited?"

"Sister Qiudong woke up once, and the slave gave her medicine, and she fell asleep again. This morning, the old lady went back to the house and ordered Madam Zhang to bring the peace talisman she prayed for in the meditation temple. The old lady also asked the young lady to arrive later. Jinglanyuan was having dinner, but the maidservant said that the young lady is not feeling well, and she will go there tomorrow when the young lady is better."

Lin Qingqian said "Yes", "You did well."

Chun Xia looked at Lin Qingqian hesitantly, then she chuckled lightly and said, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Chun Xia nodded heavily, "Where did Miss go out of the house today?"

Her intuition told her that Miss Qiudong's punishment and Fourth Miss must have something to do with Miss Qiudong leaving the house today.

Lin Qingqian said casually, "I went to the teahouse for a cup of tea."

Chun Xia was surprised, "That's all?"

Lin Qingqian was amused by Chun Xia's reaction, and jokingly said, "Otherwise? Do you think I'm going out of the house to pay for murder?"

"No! This servant didn't think so, it's just...it's a little strange that the young lady left the mansion just to drink tea in a teahouse."

Lin Qingqian smiled without explaining, and said, "I'm hungry, go and prepare some meals."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

After Chunxia receded, Lin Qingqian put down her teacup, lowered her eyes, and the cold eyes flashed by.

In terms of the fastest transmission of gossip in ancient times, there is no place like a teahouse. Some anecdotes about family scandals of imperial court officials can be told in a teahouse, and it takes only three days for everyone in the capital to know.

For example, the mistress of the prime minister's mansion is closed for a long time due to illness, and the concubine Wen Wen's family is in charge of the house. If it is passed on, it will change. It can be said that Lin Langtian favors his concubine and kills his wife. The wife in the prime minister's mansion is not like a wife, and the concubine is not like a concubine. There are no rules.

Lin Qingqian wanted these rumors to reach Lin Qingwu's ears. According to Lin Qingwu's arrogant temperament, she would definitely not be able to bear it, and wanted to go back to the prime minister's residence to express her dissatisfaction with the old lady.

……

Three days later.

Prince Hao's Mansion.

Zhu Hong came in and whispered a few words in Lin Qingwu's ear, Lin Qingqian's expression darkened instantly.

"What! Are you telling the truth?"

"Returning to the princess, this matter is absolutely true. It was heard by the slaves when they came out of the mansion. For some reason, everyone in the street knows that the eldest lady was grounded. They are all saying that the prime minister favors his concubine and kills his wife. The prime minister's wife is not like that. A wife, a concubine is not like a concubine, and it is even rumored that Xiangye let the third wife run the family for many years because he intends to help the third wife from the concubine's room to become the main wife."

Lin Qingwu was furious: "This is unreasonable! Nonsense!"

Zhu Hong showed hesitation, "Princess, you said that the embarrassment of the eldest lady has never been lifted, does the old lady really think so?"

Anger appeared in Lin Qingwu's eyes, without saying a word, he said: "Prepare the carriage, my princess is going to the Prime Minister's residence."

"Yes, princess."

……

willow garden.

Lin Qingqian came over with Qiudong's medicine, and wanted to feed her herself, Qiudong said in panic, "Miss, I can't help it, this servant is much better now, you can help this servant to sit up, and this servant can drink the medicine by himself."

Seeing Qiudong's panicked expression, Lin Qingqian didn't force her, helped her up, and handed her the medicine bowl.

"Be careful of the heat."

Qiudong smiled, "Yes, miss, the servants will be careful."

Qiu Dong drank the medicine quietly, and suddenly, the door was pushed open, Chun Xia walked in, and said, "Miss, Fang Caihao, the princess, came, and went directly to the old lady's courtyard."

Lin Qingqian raised the corners of her lips, and said, "Sure enough... I knew Eldest Sister would not be able to sit still after hearing the rumors."

Qiudong and Chunxia glanced at each other, both of them were at a loss, they didn't understand the meaning of Lin Qingqian's words at all.

Lin Qingqian didn't intend to explain, and said quietly: "Chun Xia, you watch outside Jinglan Garden, and come back and report to me immediately after Eldest Sister leaves."

"Yes, miss, the servant knows."

……

An hour later, Chunxia came back to report that Lin Qingwu had left Jinglan Garden, and when he left, his face seemed not very good.

Lin Qingqian said: "Go and get some lotus seed and lily soup from the kitchen, let's go to the grandmother's yard."

"Going to the old lady's courtyard? Miss, do you want to see the old lady?"

Lin Qingqian: "Don't ask, you will know when you go."
