MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 25 Xie Qi is not a good person

By the time Du Wan came to her senses, she was already wearing exquisite clothes.

 Coming out of the inner room, you saw Du Qian sitting outside.

Du Qian signaled his servants to serve food.

 In a short while.

The servants filed in.

 Plates of delicacies were brought out from the food boxes, still steaming.

“Why are you so stunned? The food will get cold if you don’t eat it.” Du Qian took the lead in picking up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

“Brother, didn’t you say you were going to pay your respects to your parents?”

 “You have to eat well before you have the strength to say hello.”

  “…” This sentence sounds a bit familiar.

On this day, Du Wan was already in high spirits.

 After Du Qian made such arrangements, he suddenly felt at ease.

This cheap brother is very good, at least it makes her not lonely in this strange world. She will work hard to protect this eldest brother in the future and will not let him end up with a tragic death like in the book.

 …

 Three days passed in a hurry.

Du Wan arranged some things, such as the problem of Chuntao's family. The housekeeper gave her a hundred taels of silver and a small shop, and then she stayed at home and ignored what happened outside the window.

 Daily I practice with the eldest princess or hiding from others.

 Some powerful ladies sent in posts inviting Du Wan or those who wanted to visit her, and the eldest princess clicked on them. Even the cousins ​​of the Du family were unable to get close to Yulingyuan. The daughter has forgotten the past, but the eldest princess has not. The relationship between these cousins ​​and her daughter is not good.

 The purpose of visiting a patient was not to find out the truth, but also to see his daughter’s jokes.

The eldest princess never dared to underestimate a woman’s jealousy.

 So they all blocked her away on the grounds that her daughter was in poor health and needed to rest.

It’s just that good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

In the upper class circles of the capital, no matter how they speculate behind the scenes, there are really not many people who dare to slander him in public.

  After all, Du Wan was born into a noble family. His mother was the eldest princess and his uncle was the emperor. In addition, the royal bloodline has been weak for hundreds of years. The emperor is already in his forties and has no heirs. The only princess has disappeared again. As long as there are some powerful people with some brains, almost no one will offend the Du Qian brothers and sisters on this matter.

 On the other hand, there was another wave of rumors among the people.

Du Wan became interested for a moment, so she sent everyone in the yard to inquire about it, and then came back to tell her. Then, record them one by one in a book, using Chinese characters of course.

 She has not yet begun to learn the writing of this world.

at dusk.

An elegant quiet room in Yulingyuan.

There are many books placed in the quiet room, and pens, inks, paper and inkstones are prepared for daily use. It can also be used as a study room.

The little maid Ningqin heard the rumors from the outside world, and her face turned red with anger. "Miss, the people outside are going too far. The more rumors spread, the more unpleasant it becomes. You must tell the eldest young master about this."

"What's this? It's just an old story again." Du Wan didn't care.

How about abandoning your fiancé at such a young age, being shameless, wishful thinking, thanking the Seventh Young Master, etc. Why did Xie Qi Gongzi avoid being disturbed and avoid leaving the capital? The eldest lady shamelessly chased after him, only to encounter the missing robber. Now that he has come back and is innocent, this will definitely be ruined.

 Very good, it’s all about the male protagonist!

 If someone wants to destroy the original owner, you must investigate carefully!

As long as we find out who spread the rumor...

Du Wan finished writing the last stroke, raised her head, and looked at the maid Shuxiang who was polishing ink.

“Everyone has talked about the fragrance of books and paintings. What about you? Have you heard any other gossip?” Du Wan asked casually.

Shuxiang was stunned for a moment, but looked at the painting not far away bending down to clean.

Huayi stood up straight, put down the feather duster, and was hesitating whether to say anything.

Du Wan pretended not to notice the two maids flirting with each other.

At this time, Ningqin jumped out first, her little eyes bright, "Miss, Miss, I also heard a piece of gossip...about Young Master Xie." Du Wan's eyes lit up, "What did you say?"

Ning Qin had a bad impression of Xie Zhang and gloated about his misfortune, saying, "I just heard this and said that Mr. Xie Qi was caught teasing a good girl."

 “Ahem.”

Du Wan immediately straightened her back and pretended to cough twice, "Well, it turns out that's what happened. Not only did I hear about it, but I also saw it with my own eyes."

“Really? How was it then?” Ningqin asked anxiously.

Du Wan whispered inscrutably: "Xie Qi was stopped by a group of country people, and there was a girl from a good family beside him. She was very beautiful and crying. The family said that Xie Qi had ruined the girl's innocence, and then I didn’t want to take responsibility. Later, the family had no choice but to send Xie Qi to prison."

　　　…”

 Shu Xiang and Hua Yi looked surprised.

 It’s not what the lady saw, but the lady’s attitude.

 Before she disappeared, it was obvious that the young lady liked Mr. Xie Qi. This was not a secret in the house.

Shuxiang asked tentatively: "Miss, you don't like Mr. Xie anymore?"

 “Ouch, who likes him?” Du Wan said disdainfully.

 Whether the original owner likes Xie Qi cannot be confirmed.

But whether it’s true or not, she will definitely have to bear the blame. Denying liking Xie Qi is something that must be done.

 Then, Du Wan said mysteriously: "I discovered that Xie Qi is not a good person."

 “How could it be?” Shuxiang’s reaction was great.

Huayi then defended Xie Qi, "Miss, Mr. Xie was tricked. That woman is not a good family, and she has been having an affair with someone for a long time. Not only did Mr. Xie find out that those people were collecting money to wrongly accuse him, He also found out the adulterer."

 “…” Du Wan was silent.

  The male protagonist is worthy of being a male protagonist, and he can overthrow those with evil intentions with one move.

 At the same time, she is also very popular, and even the maids around her are his little crushes.

Du Wan glanced at the two people.

 As expected...what girl is not pregnant?

Du Wan lowered his head and practiced calligraphy.

Seeing that the lady was silent, Shuxiang and Painting did not dare to speak.

At this moment, Luoqi came back, "Miss, Yan's mother who is next to the eldest princess has come to send a message, telling the lady to rest early and go to the palace early tomorrow morning to pay her respects."

 “Oh, I understand.” Du Wan was surprised.

He is about to enter the palace. This is a big deal!

 The next day. Early in the morning.

Du Wan was still asleep when she was woken up.

 He burned incense, bathed, and put on solemn clothes.

 Out of Yulingyuan.

The eldest princess and Du Qian are already waiting outside.

 Subsequently, the three mothers entered the palace together.

In the carriage, the eldest princess handed her a plate of exquisite pastries with a smile, "Wan'er, eat some to cushion your stomach. I will go to see your uncle first, and then the queen."

"Thank you." Du Wan took it with a smile, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

 After she finished eating two pieces, the eldest princess handed her warm tea.

Du Wan took it over obediently and thanked him again.

The eldest princess’s smile remained the same, covering up the sadness in her heart.

Even though my daughter is very well-behaved and sensible, it has been so long since she came back and she still hasn’t called her mother. Perhaps, even the daughter herself did not realize that these thank yous showed unfamiliarity and distance.

 At this time, Du Wan's attention was all on the cakes.

 It smells so good!
