Chapter 106 Rumors
Yue Jinghong calmed herself down and returned to her usual self in a moment, "Why didn't I see any sisters come to pay their respects to grandma today?"
When this was mentioned, Yue Hanwen became even angrier. Just as he was about to explode, Su Hongfu held his hand.
The old lady knew nothing about the rumors in the capital, so she even said a few words to defend Yue Jinghao, "Your elder sister is not at home because of something, Yuyan is taking care of the second concubine, and you know Chunruo's temper..."
"What's the matter, elder sister? Why are you going out so early?" Yue Jinghong seized the opportunity of the old lady's words and asked her about the matter.
"She went out yesterday and said she would be back home today." The old lady also saw that Yue Jinghong was more beautiful than before, so she talked more.
Yue Jinghong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and exclaimed, "Could it be... that thing is actually true?" But then she felt that she had said something wrong, and quickly picked up the teacup to avoid others seeing her surprise.
Although the old lady is old, she is not deaf. "Just tell me what happened!"
In the old lady's mind, there is no worse news than dismissing Yue Hanwen from his post and preventing Yue Tianhong from entering the officialdom.
Yue Jinghong hesitated for a long time before she said, "It's being rumored in the capital... that my elder sister went to meet a man in private last night..."
Yue Jinghong's words shocked the old lady, and she subconsciously said, "Impossible!"
Yue Jinghong quickly nodded in agreement, "My granddaughter also thinks it's impossible. Big sister is the prince's fiancée, how could she have a secret meeting with another man?"
"Who is having a secret meeting with another man?" Yue Jinghao's voice was heard outside the door.
Manju helped Yue Jinghao into the house, bowed to the old lady and sat down. "Second sister, long time no see, Su Dusi... No, look at my memory, Su Dusi has been demoted to a lieutenant by the emperor himself, and you should call him Lord Su Lieutenant Su from now on! Is Lieutenant Su feeling better? Can you get up?"
Yue Jinghong thought about her uncle's miserable appearance, and the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed. "My uncle has been recuperating for a month, and he has gotten much better!"
Yue Jinghao nodded in relief, "Wait until Captain Su gets better, second sister, go with me to visit him! Going now... is really inconvenient..."
Isn’t it inconvenient? A grown man was injured below the eye and was lying on the couch unable to move. It was extremely embarrassing to ask a junior to visit him!
Yue Jinghong tightly grasped the silk handkerchief, with a distorted smile on her face, "Don't bother me, big sister, just take care of your own business first!"
Yue Jinghao seemed not to understand Yue Jinghong's words, "Oh? What can I do?"
Yue Jinghong seemed to have caught Yue Jinghao's handle, and that smile seemed to be a bit of a stab in the back, "Didn't Big Sister hear the rumors on the way back?"
"My sister also said that it was a rumor! It is said that women in the market are gossipy. How can we believe those words?" Yue Jinghao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"But what they said is so detailed. Even if I don't believe it, there's no guarantee that anyone will believe it!" Yue Jinghong secretly glanced at the old lady. The old man's face was not good at this moment, but he didn't say anything. He just closed his eyes and twisted the Buddhist beads.
"Who would believe such nonsense? Don't talk nonsense!" Yue Hanwen didn't have the patience to chat with his two daughters.
"My daughter heard it on the way back..." Yue Jinghong shyly covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, and timidly glanced at Yue Jinghao who looked calm. "Did elder sister really go to meet a man in private last night..."
"Bang!" Yue Hanwen slammed the table, his face flushed with anger, "Who on earth arranged this? And where on earth did you go last night?"
Yue Hanwen pointed directly at Yue Jinghao, but Su Hongfu pulled him back and winked, "Master, have you forgotten what happened just now..."
Yue Hanwen then remembered that he had said he would ask carefully, so he put his hand down and spoke in a much softer tone, "I'm not angry with your father, but since ancient times, a woman's reputation has been more important than anything else! What's more, you are the future Crown Princess! So you must be careful in what you do! Don't bring shame to the royal family!"
Yue Jinghao stood up and bowed to the old lady and Yue Hanwen, "My daughter understands everything. I was unable to return home in time yesterday due to something else. I even reported it to grandma!"
The old lady nodded and said, "Jing'er is right. I know about this."
"But grandma only knows that my eldest sister didn't come back home, but how does grandma know what she did?" Yue Jinghong looked at these people who were speaking up for Yue Jinghao and felt extremely jealous. In the past, her father and grandmother had always been on her side, but now they had all been snatched away by Yue Jinghao.
"How dare you!" The old lady slammed the ground heavily with her cane. "Are you really going to ruin Jing'er's reputation?"
Yue Jinghong quickly knelt on the ground, "Grandma, you misunderstood! How could your granddaughter think that? It's just a rumor in the streets, and your granddaughter just told grandma and father what she heard... Besides... Big sister really didn't come home last night..."
