My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Chapter 168 The Instigator

Song Yiyun was slightly startled. When he heard his mother mention Madam Liu, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face.

"Mother, what are you thinking? I just think that those who are innocent will be innocent. There is no need to make a fuss over these nonsense."

Lady Anbohou refused to give in.

"Hmph, the innocent are innocent? That's easy for you to say. Do you know how powerful the rumors in the capital are? It's fine if you don't care about your own future, but your sister's marriage hasn't been settled yet, and you have the heart to let her be criticized because of you?"

Song Yiyun sighed helplessly.

"Mother, what are you going to do? The rumor has already spread. How easy is it to suppress it completely?"

A trace of determination flashed in Mrs. Amber's eyes.

"Of course I have a way. I will go visit a few ladies who are on good terms with our family and ask them to help clarify the matter among the noble ladies in the capital. Also, I will send someone to find out where this rumor came from. Anyone who dares to slander our An family behind our backs must not be let off easily."

Song Yiyun knew that once his mother made up her mind, no one could stop her, so he could only say,

"Mother, please be careful and don't cause more trouble."

Madame Amber glared at him.

"You still worry about trouble? If you had known this earlier, you would have married me a wife earlier, and I wouldn't have to worry about you so much."

After saying this, Lady Anbohou glared at him and left in a hurry.

Song Yiyun sat alone in the room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Good masculinity?

This is ridiculous news from somewhere. If it were true, it would be fine.

You don't have to lose sleep at night because of someone.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought back to that day when she calmly rejected her own cold face.

Song Yiyun has been feeling a little down since being rejected, but he also knows that he can't force it.

gossip?

Mrs. Liu wouldn't take it seriously, right?

On the other hand, Lady Amber has sent people to investigate who is behind this matter.

In a teahouse in the capital, several young men from wealthy families were gathered together, excitedly discussing the rumors about the Prince of Anbo.

"Have you heard? The story of the Prince of Amber is really explosive."

A young man in a brocade robe said.

"Hmph, I think this might be true. Think about it, he doesn't even have a maid by his side on weekdays, he only follows those servants, how could there not be something fishy?"

Another echoed.

"Whether it's true or not, there's something exciting to watch in the capital."

Several people burst into laughter.

"He usually looks like a gentleman, and he's always pretending to be so. Now, let's see how he can still be so proud."

"Ha ha......"

At this time, Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao were having dinner in the private room next door.

In the past few days, she has been looking for a suitable shop. After much consideration, she finally bought the two shops next to Su Jinge at Ye Xiaoxiao's suggestion.

Ye Xiaoxiao wants to do the women's business. Since she wants to do it, she will provide one-stop service, from rouge and powder, clothes and jewelry, to handkerchiefs and underwear, she will do it all.

Now that we are in this ancient time, let’s have some fun.

The mother and daughter worked together over the past few days and finally got the shop things done. The next step is to connect the three stores and then redecorate them.

After the mother and daughter finished their work at Su Jinge, they were hungry and didn't want to go back home, so they decided to take Yuezhu and Chunxi to Fu Yue Tower for dinner.

The group went up to the private room on the second floor. As soon as they sat down, they heard faint discussions coming from next door.

It sounded like he had been drinking some alcohol, and the noise became louder and louder.

Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao were sitting in a private room. The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere became a little subtle because of the discussions coming from next door.

After a while, the waiter started serving the dishes, but the chattering from next door did not subside.

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and looked at her mother. Liu Yunniang calmly picked up a piece of food for her daughter and said softly,

"Ignore the gossip and eat."

However, the rich kids next door seemed to be getting more and more excited as they talked.

"I heard that this kind of thing was spread about the prince of Marquis Anbo. Madam Anbo was very worried and was looking for someone to clarify it."

"Humph, it's useless for her to be anxious. Once this rumor spreads, even if it's false, there will be people who believe it to be true."

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but whispered to her mother,

"Mother, how can these people frame others like this?"

Liu Yunniang shook her head slightly.

"Xiaoxiao, this is how the capital is. There are many people and gossips, and there are constant disputes. We should not get involved in these disputes."

Although she said this, Liu Yunniang couldn't help but think of Song Yiyun in her heart.

How did this rumor come about? That person's behavior doesn't seem like it.

At this time, there was another sound coming from next door.

"What do you think? Could it be that Prince Anbo was maliciously spreading this rumor because he failed to woo a girl?"

"Oh, you never know. Maybe it's possible."

"But, in my opinion, it must be this Prince Song. He offends many people on a daily basis, so the rumor spread so quickly."

When Liu Yunniang heard this, she felt something in her heart and thought, that shouldn’t be the case!

Although Ye Xiaoxiao didn't like that Prince Song confessed his love to her mother, to be fair, he should be a good person.

However, love is a matter of fate. General Xiao appeared first and just happened to meet the aesthetic tastes of both mother and daughter. So, Prince Song has no chance and should just stay away.

"Mother, these people are really annoying."

Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter and smiled tenderly.

"Other people have their mouths. Whatever they say is their business. Don't take it to heart. Besides, the Marquis of Anbo's Mansion is not an ordinary family. This matter won't last long."

"Mother..."

Ye Xiaoxiao said coquettishly with some helplessness,

"Those people are so noisy, why don't we ask the shopkeeper to go over and persuade them."

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Liu Yunniang smiled and touched her daughter's head, not wanting to have any conflict with the people next door.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise coming from the private room next door. The sound became louder and louder. It seemed that someone made a few remarks in defense of Prince Song, but was ridiculed by others.

"Mother, these people are really hateful."

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and said unhappily.

Liu Yunniang held her daughter's hand and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, let's not meddle in other people's business. If we stop it, it might cause more trouble."

Just then, the shopkeeper of Fu Yue Lou hurried into Liu Yunniang's private room.

Perhaps the waiter who had just served the dishes came downstairs and told the shopkeeper about the noise in the private room. The shopkeeper said apologetically,

"Madam Liu, I'm so sorry. The guests next door are too noisy and disturbed you and your young lady's meal. However, those people next door are all sons of the famous families in Beijing. I have cleaned up the private room next door. Please take your young lady over there first. I will have someone serve you new dishes right away."

Although this Madam Liu was low-key, the shopkeeper still recognized her. Isn't she the first-rank lady personally conferred by His Majesty?

So as soon as the waiter mentioned this, he immediately arranged a new private room himself.

Liu Yunniang nodded to show her understanding.

She stood up, took her daughter's hand, and followed the shopkeeper to the private room next door.

The new private room was decorated very elegantly, and new dishes were already placed on the table.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I'm sorry for your trouble." Liu Yunniang said gratefully.

"It should, it should."

The shopkeeper waved his hand quickly and walked out.

Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao sat down and continued to enjoy their lunch.

But in Liu Yunniang's heart, she still cares a little about what the people next door say.

Could it be that these rumors about Prince Song were spread intentionally by someone? What was the purpose?

Liu Yunniang was a little absent-minded during this meal.
