Chapter 193 Rumors
Dong Lai responded with a smile, "I wonder what the young lady wants to do?"
Song Anning ordered: "The Li family bullied others and robbed civilian girls. My eldest sister was single and weak, was raped into the house, and was humiliated by Young Master Li. These words should be enough to cause a sensation in the city, right?"
Donglai nodded quickly.
"Of course. Miss, are you going to spread all these words?"
"Yes, remember, the farther it spreads, the better. It is best to spread it to several state capitals far and near, so that everyone knows it."
Dong Lai pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, "Yes, I know, I will do it now."
The next day.
As expected, rumors about Song Yue and Li Wenliang began to spread in the city.
The rumors were exactly the same as those told by Song Anning and Dong Lia. While everyone was filled with indignation at what Li's family had done, they also sympathized with Song Yue.
When Song Yue went out, she heard such rumors and became very angry.
She quickly asked the maid to put the curtain on her and returned home dejectedly.
"Dad, this Li family has gone too far! How dare they do this? In order for me to marry into the Li family, they even ruined their reputation and resorted to such despicable methods! Now everyone in the city knows that I am not innocent. Now, who else can I marry in the future? Which man is willing to want me?"
Song Yue started to cry.
At the same time, in the Li family courtyard, Mrs. Li was also shocked and angry.
"The eldest son of the Song family is so shameless. They were obviously the ones who rushed to support my son, but now they are talking about my son's fault? They said in front of me that they refused to marry into the Li family, and then they did this behind my back. He used despicable means to ruin the reputation of our Li family, haha, it’s really a shameless trick, what a sinister plot.”
Li Wendong also learned about this and came to see Mrs. Li.
"Mom, what's going on? There are rumors outside that our Li family is bullying others, and that the eldest brother has defiled Miss Song. Is it the eldest son of the Song family who came last night? Is this what you are arguing about?"
By this time, Mrs. Li also knew that she could no longer hide it.
But she will never take the blame that should not be shouldered by the Li family.
So he explained to Li Wendong, "Dong'er, it's a long story, but it's very simple to say it. It's not just a mother-in-law who wants to ruin other people's reputations. What kind of character are the people in the Song family's eldest house like? If you just go out and ask around, you will know that they are not good people. Then Song Yue took a fancy to our family's family background and insisted on marrying into our family. I didn't agree with it at first, but I didn't expect that she found some heresy from nowhere. I got something for your brother..."
"Well, your eldest brother is out of his mind again. In the confusion, the situation has become like this. Last night, Mr. Song made such a big show to come here to look for people. He just wanted to capture the scene so that we can recognize him. For this matter, let Song Yue marry into the Li family."
"I finally got rid of them last night. Although it's not our Li family's fault, your eldest brother took advantage of them after all, so I thought, if they are willing to marry Song Yue over, I will pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to marry them. The betrothal gift was a small loss to save the face of the two families, so let’s forget about it, but I didn’t expect them to disagree.”
"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. I still thought that Song Yue was a noble and upright person. But guess what? They turned around and went out to make a big announcement, saying that we sent people to capture Song Yue in order to force her to marry. To your eldest brother, isn't this a joke? With our Li family's family background, do we deserve to do this? Even if your eldest brother is not very smart, a girl from a poor peasant family doesn't look like anything, and Song Yue is not a gold-rimmed girl. Yes, why would I ruin our Li family’s century-old reputation for her? It’s really funny.”
Mrs. Li looked obviously very angry.
Li Wendong originally had doubts about this matter, but seeing how angry she was, he believed it.
"Mom, please don't be angry. Since this matter is not our fault, let's tell the truth. If the worst happens, we will report it to the government. We are not afraid of shadows. I still don't believe that the Song family can turn black into white. It has turned the world upside down. "
Mrs. Li stopped talking.
It's not that she's afraid of causing trouble with the government, it's just that they are now living in other people's houses, and if they cause too much scandal, they will inevitably be disliked by the boss.
In addition, her husband, Li Wendong's father, is currently on the verge of promotion. If something happens again and there is no hope of promotion, it will be a big loss.
Therefore, Mrs. Li quickly thought of a countermeasure.
"No, we can't let the rumors continue to spread like this. Manager Liu, write a letter to the master immediately, and count another 1 taels of silver. Let's go to the Song family."
Li Wendong was startled and grabbed Mrs. Li.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Li said: "Your father's official reputation cannot be affected by this, and we can't cause too much trouble to make the main branch dislike him. Anyway, if you can find a wife like your elder brother, it will be good. Who cares about the other person's character?" What do you think? You don’t want your eldest brother to die alone. In that case, if the girl from the Song family wants to marry into our Li family, I will give her enough face to come to propose marriage in person and let her marry. Then the rumors will stop and the rest will be done. Let’s deal with it later.”
Li Wendong frowned, somewhat disapproving.
"Since that person is out of his mind, he must have bad conduct. How can we allow such a person to enter my Li family and take care of my eldest brother?"
Mrs. Li ignored him, "Okay, I have my own opinion on this matter. You can go back to your room and warm up your books. Don't delay your studies. Someone, come and take the second young master back."
"mother."
"Second Young Master, let's go back first."
Li Wendong wanted to say something more, but looking at his mother's determined expression and the servants respectfully asking her, he finally had no choice but to leave unwillingly.
Here.
Mrs. Li quickly prepared her things and hurried to the Song family.
Little did he know that at this time, Song Yue was not at the Song family at all.
It's not that she doesn't want to stay at home, it's that she's afraid that her grandfather will hear the rumors outside and come to the door, and that she's afraid of being blamed by her family.
Except for her father, no one in the family understands her.
She was impatient to listen to their teachings, and even more impatient to watch the chatter of the relatives who clearly expressed concern but were actually just watching the fun, so she simply hid away and found peace.
Of course, Song Yue is a figure at the forefront of the limelight at this time, and it is impossible to get out through the front door.
Therefore, she pretended to be a servant and went out through the back door. She ran to the river outside the city before she stopped and shouted loudly to the river.
After shouting for a while, Song Yue felt much better after venting her emotions.
She stood by the river, looking at the calm river surface, her nose felt a little sore and her chest felt a little clogged.
Why?
Why should Song Anning be strong in everything, be good at everything, and get whatever she wants, while she just wants a good son-in-law?
Why could Song Anning be held in the palm of everyone's hand, yet she was going to marry a fool?
She is not convinced!
She is not convinced!
She wants to trample Song Anning under her feet, and she wants to take away all the property of Sanfang!
