Rumors behind

  "A big event, a big event." Yuan Yi was leaning on the couch reading a book when Lan Mei rushed in, panting and with a red face, saying: "Miss, something big has happened."

  Su Mei put down the needle and thread in her hand, scolded her with a sentence, "What's all the fuss about, startling the young lady, just you wait and I'll skin you alive."

  Lan Mei stuck out her tongue and gazed at Yuan Yi with wide eyes. Yuan Yi couldn't help but smile, looked away from his book and said: "Tell me, what's the big deal?"

  "It's not that Xiao family young master's trouble again." Originally, because of yesterday's matchmaking, Lanmei had a greatly improved impression of him. In her mind, those who liked their own girls were all good people, and even Xiao Heng, who had a bad reputation, was no exception. Today, she happened to pay extra attention to his news, but unexpectedly heard such unbearable rumors. Lanmei's round face flushed with anger, "Miss, you don't know, it's spread all over the outside, they say that the young master of the Xiao family went to the flower street yesterday and was scratched by a wild woman."

  Su Mei saw that her own daughter's face looked strange, and her heart skipped a beat. She hastily glared at Lai Mei and said: "Lai Mei, you're becoming more and more unscrupulous, how can you casually say such dirty words, don't you fear polluting the young lady's ears?"

  As soon as the plum blossom's stem shrinks, she realizes her own recklessness. Her family's daughter has already decided to marry Xiao's young master, and she carelessly mentions this matter, isn't it to provoke the girl's heartache? Only to see the usually calm and self-controlled girl now holding a book to cover her face, her shoulders shaking, and a low, suppressed voice comes out, saying: "All of you get out."

  Lan Mei thought she had made the girl cry, her eyes turned red, and she hung her head in shame. She was pulled out of the inner room by Su Mei, who grabbed her earlobe. Lan Mei couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Xiao family's young master is indeed not a good thing."

  Until the footsteps of the two people faded away, Yuan Yi finally put down the book and revealed his small face that had been choked red. He patted the bed and laughed softly.

  Xiao Fu, Liu Xuan Yuan.

  "Prince Wang, my young master is in his room." Wei Gan nodded and waved the servant away, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

  "Get out!" As soon as he stepped across the threshold of the room, a loud and furious shout came from behind the colorful silk curtain, "Don't bother me again."

  "It seems that the king is not welcome from afar." Wei Gan lifted the curtain and entered, his sharp eyes catching Xiao Heng applying something to his face. As soon as he saw him, he hastily hid the object behind his back and asked uncomfortably, "How did you come?"

  Wei Qian's lips curled up in a smile as he said, "I heard that your face was scratched by a 'wild woman', I've come to visit you."

  Xiao Heng's pale face suddenly turned bright red, forming a stark contrast with the purplish-green bruise on his left cheek. "A weasel visiting a chicken to wish it a happy new year is definitely not up to any good. You might as well just say you're here to make fun of me."

  His rare expression amused Wei Qian, who clapped his hands and laughed, then leaned in to examine his left cheek, poking it, "Tsk, tsk, so useless, was he really caught by a woman?" His nose twitched slightly as he sniffed carefully, and he exclaimed, "Why didn't you use the palace's secret medicine last time? Did you get some good medicine? Such a familiar scent, how come there's a floral fragrance?"

  Wei Gan said, his hand had already reached behind Xiao Heng's back, wanting to take a peek. Xiao Heng secretly thought it was not good and hurriedly stopped him, but he was one step too late, the wooden box hidden behind his body was caught in Wei Gan's hand.

  Xiao Heng let out a mournful sigh in his heart, suddenly feeling that life was dull and grey. He fell onto the couch, closed his eyes, and began to pretend to be dead.

  Wei Qianxian was initially perplexed, but when he opened the box and revealed the delicate, powdery soft cream inside, he was taken aback for a moment before bursting into thunderous laughter. "Xiao Zongyuan, Xiao Zongyuan! Today I've finally got my hands on your weakness! Who would have thought that you, a seven-foot-tall man, would use Jade Hairpin Welcoming Butterfly Powder!"
