Chapter 69 69. Summon

Rumors that there was a second young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion spread like wildfire, spreading from one to ten, then to a hundred, and the more they spread, the more evil they became.

Sure enough, the worst result came, and Yun Yao watched helplessly as he became the talk of the town after dinner.

She watched her nose, nose and heart, pretending not to know anything, and calmly went out to buy groceries.

The strange thing is that there is not a single man on the street today, only women as far as you can see.

Did she sleepwalk to the land of daughters?

Yunyao bought a few radishes, and while the aunt was looking for change, he asked aloud: "Do you know why the streets are full of women?"

When the aunt heard this, her expression immediately became tense. She leaned forward and gently waved her hand towards Yunyao, gesturing for her to come closer.

Yunyao understood and put his ear close.

The aunt looked around, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered: "Don't you know about the second lady of the prime minister's house? I heard that she specializes in catching good-looking men on the street, so the men hide at home and dare not go out."

Yun Yao's eyes twitched, pretending to be in disbelief, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't that true? Is she really that scary?"

"No way!" The aunt had a serious look on her face and her voice was even lower: "A while ago, she fell in love with His Highness the Second Highness. If His Highness didn't obey, she killed all the guards of His Highness and beat him half to death.

.”

"That's right," Yun Yao responded awkwardly, "You should be careful."

She collected the change from the aunt, turned back with the vegetables, and subconsciously touched the mask.

She suspected that her mask would crack for her.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yun Xiang carried the exquisite food box to the outside of the study and hesitated for a while.

The study is an important place for work, and women should not come there, but she was really having a headache due to the rumor, and she just wanted to ask her father to help deal with it as soon as possible.

After a while, she walked forward slowly and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened from the inside.

Tianshu bowed his head slightly and saluted: "Miss."

Yun Xiang smiled gently and said softly: "I'm here to give father some snacks."

Tian Shu said humbly: "I will send it off for the eldest lady."

Yun Xiang's hand holding the food box tightened slightly, and his tone was slightly stiff: "I still have something to say to my father."

"Miss, please tell me." Tian Shu smiled gently: "I will convey everything to the prime minister."

Yun Xiang's face turned pale, he handed the food box to Tian Shu and said, "No need, I"

"Come in." Yun Xi's voice came from inside.

Tianshu took the order and stepped back a certain distance to make way for Yunxiang.

At this time, Yun Xi was sitting at the table handling paperwork. Seeing Yun Xiang come in, he hung his brush aside and called softly: "Xiang'er."

Yun Xiang put the food box on the table and said softly: "These are the snacks I made myself. I brought them to my father to try."

As she spoke, her delicate Rouyi opened the lid, revealing the delicate sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside.

Yun Xi picked up a piece, took a bite, and said, "Xiang'er's craftsmanship is very good."

"Father is so complimentary." Yun Xiang said warmly.

Tianshu brought a chair for her, and Yun Xiang sat down Qian Qian, her manners were dignified, her shoulders and spine were straight, and her movements were all that of a lady.

Yun Xi looked at her daughter and said gently: "Xiang'er can just have something to say. Why do you look so unfamiliar?"

Yun Xiang was encouraged and An Ran said: "It's a rumor about the second young lady. I'm wondering if it should be dealt with properly."

"I'm afraid this matter has troubled Xiang'er." Yun Xi sighed slightly.

Yun Xiang looked a little gloomy and said softly: "The impact on me is a trivial matter. It's just that the reputation of the prime minister's house was ruined by the unfounded second lady. It's really not worth it."

Hearing this, Yun Xi said with a smile in her eyes: "You do have a sister, but it's not like the rumors."

When Yun Xiang heard this, her face suddenly turned pale. She had never expected to hear such words.

Yun Xi looked at her reaction and said softly: "Don't worry Xiang'er, this storm will be over soon."

As if to confirm his remarks, there was a noise outside.

Tianyi walked in and said: "Master Xiang, Your Majesty has summoned me, and the carriage is ready."

"Let's go." Yun Xi stood up and responded, waiting for Tian Qing to put a thick velvet robe on him and walk away.

Yun Xiang followed him out and stood outside the study to see Yun Xi off.

Suyun and Biyue waited cautiously in the distance. When they saw their young lady coming out, they hurriedly greeted her.

Yun Xiang's face was still a little pale. She clutched her sleeves and said aggrievedly: "Let's go back."

Seeing that the young lady looked wrong, Suyun asked cautiously: "Miss, what does the prime minister say about the second young lady?"

Because of this weird rumor, many noble ladies in Kyoto have alienated the young lady. The young lady secretly shed tears because of this, and they felt really distressed when they saw her.

Yun Xiang bit her lip gently, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She tried to keep her tone steady and said: "Father actually said that I really have a sister."

Biyue's eyes suddenly widened and she said in disbelief: "Miss, is the prime minister joking?"

Suyun said dissatisfied: "Why would the prime minister joke about such a thing?"

When Yun Xiang heard this, tears suddenly flowed out.

Suyun was so distressed that she quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe the lady's tears.

Their young lady is the best young lady in the world, and she has always been very kind to them. But now she has to be implicated by that dirty and despicable illegitimate daughter, and is talked about in private by others.

Suyun thought of this and said angrily: "Miss, don't be sad, the Prime Minister will not let people who can't wait for the chance to enter the house."

"Yes," Bi Yue said in horror, "The illegitimate daughter is a lunatic. It would be better if she died as soon as possible."

Yun Xiang frowned slightly and said, "Don't say that. Father said that the rumors are all false. My sister should not be that kind of person."

"I just didn't expect that my father would hide such a big thing from me, so I'm a little sad."

The two of them shut up when they heard this, but their hearts were very unbalanced. In their eyes, there was only one young lady in the prime minister's house.

Imperial Palace, Shangshufang.

Emperor Shao looked at Yun Xi and the second prince who were kneeling on the ground, his face a little ugly.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get up."

The cold ground sent a chill into Yun Xi's body, and he coughed twice, feeling a little unsteady.

Emperor Shao sighed helplessly and softened his tone slightly: "As for the rumors outside, I originally didn't want to deal with them, but the rumors have become more and more intense and have disrupted the order of Kyoto."

As he spoke, he took out a memorial and said, "Yun Xiang, take a look for yourself."

Yun Xi took the memorial and glanced at it briefly, feeling funny in her heart.

This memorial was written by the newly appointed Celestial Master. Based on rumors alone, he suspected that the second young lady was a demon who was causing harm to the country, and said he wanted to see her.

Shaohuang said: "Explain to me clearly what is going on?"

The second prince quickly said: "Father, this is completely a misunderstanding. I have never seen the second lady of the prime minister's house at all."

"Bastard!" Shao Huang glared at him: "This matter happened because of you, but you are living a comfortable life in the palace."

The second prince shrank his neck and his voice became much lower: "My son, I just went out to listen to a play, but I never expected that it would turn out like this."

Emperor Shao suddenly darkened his face and said, "As a prince of a country, you spend all your time living and drinking, how dare you say that?"

The second prince was startled and knelt down with a thud.

He paused and said stammeringly: "My son, maybe you can come forward to clarify this matter."

Emperor Shao was furious: "What have you been doing?"

The second prince trembled, closed his lips tightly, and did not dare to speak.
