Chapter 39 Gotta pay it back
Zhou Sining gently twisted the tea cup in his hand and thought, if it wasn't Chu Yuming, who could it be?
There are only a handful of people in the capital who can easily suppress Chu Yuming and give him a sap with a backhand. There are only a few other princes, well, the seventh prince is more likely. But he went to the palace himself.
It doesn't make sense to spread rumors in front of the emperor. After all, he won't get anything good by going there. On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the emperor and Chu Yuming to him. Especially Chu Yuming, who is almost natural.
He would feel that the seventh prince was targeting him.
"Lonicera, go check the identity of the counselor surnamed Liu and see if he is a human or a ghost."
"No need to check." Like a gust of wind, He Beiting appeared outside the window silently.
There was a smile in Zhou Sining's eyes, "You know?"
"Yeah." He Beiting responded lightly, and immediately saw the purple bruises on Zhou Sining's knees, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink.
After drying her hair, Lonicera took the medicine and came over to rub Zhou Sining's knees.
Following He Beiting's eyes and looking at his knees, Zhou Sining said: "It doesn't hurt very much, it just looks scary."
Then he urged: "Hurry up and tell me who is responsible for these rumors."
He Beiting stared deeply at Zhou Sining, seeing that she really didn't have much reaction when Lonicera rubbed her knees, and then spoke.
The drama of a hero going alone into the forest to find someone to save a beauty was indeed prepared by the second prince, because when this kind of drama develops, almost ninety-nine times it ends with a physical promise, and the second prince wants this result.
It's nothing more than distorting the facts, and he dared to pretend that his little wife would marry him. How could He Beiting endure this? Naturally, he had to quickly suppress the rumors.
But he couldn't take action, so he had to find someone to take action, and the Seventh Prince just happened to owe him a favor.
So after He Beiting sent Zhou Sining off, he went directly to the Seventh Prince's Mansion and asked him to suppress the rumors. The Seventh Prince also used thunderous methods. The drama of a hero saving a beauty directed by the Second Prince did not make it to the stage and was suppressed halfway.
.As for those who wanted to cling to the Seventh Prince but had been unable to find a way, they heard that the Seventh Prince had taken action to suppress the Second Prince, and they also heard the words of the counselor surnamed Liu in the Second Prince's residence, and this secret meeting in the back mountain of Buddhism appeared right after.
Rumors about sisters serving the same husband were overwhelming as soon as they appeared, spreading crazily to every corner of the streets and alleys, and there was no way to suppress them.
Things went wrong.
The seventh prince felt deeply sorry for the Zhou family. Although this was not his intention, he did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of him. Before He Beiting came to the door, he entered the palace consciously. He thought what would happen if Chu
Yu Ming used rumors to force him to marry Miss Zhou, and he had to save her no matter what.
After hearing the cause and effect, Zhou Sining was speechless.
If the seventh prince is really so incompetent and can achieve such results by suppressing even a rumor, then how did he live so long? Not to mention having a queen to protect him, the prince of Xuan Kingdom left his mother at the age of six.
What the prince said, the queen couldn't tie him to her belt and watch him all the time.
"Then the Seventh Prince..."
"Zhang family..."
Zhou Sining and He Beiting spoke almost at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Seeing Zhou Sining letting him go first with a smile, He Beiting said: "The Zhang family was the first to make rumors, so the seventh prince entered the palace."
Well, that makes sense.
The Zhang family is the maternal family of the current queen, the maternal family of the seventh prince, and the natural party of the seventh prince. First, the seventh prince took action to suppress the second prince, and then the Zhang family was the first to guide public opinion. Those who supported the seventh prince
, plus those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cling to him, and other princes following suit, so many people flocked to him, and fermentation blossomed everywhere.
Well, there is indeed no way to suppress it. Unless there is a more powerful new rumor to replace it, it will not go away in a short time.
However, when the seventh prince entered the palace, he did nothing but tell the emperor the rumors on the street as if they were jokes. The Zhou family's century-old reputation was gone, and Miss Zhou's reputation was completely ruined.
Not to mention the fact that the old capital was far away, Zhou Shuang'an didn't need to think about it, and her He Beiting wouldn't abandon her because of this, but there was still a third lady in the mansion who was turning hair next month and had yet to discuss marriage.
Zhou Sining lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Do you have any friendship with the Seventh Prince?"
In the previous life, after He Beiting's death, the Seventh Prince agreed to cooperate with her. At that time, he said something, just to pay back what he owed to He Beiting.
He Beiting said: "In this matter, the Seventh Prince made an unintentional mistake."
"So, the debt he owes to the Zhou family...has to be repaid." Zhou Sining said: "If it was done deliberately, there is no need to repay it."
If you act deliberately, you are your opponent. You have to catch whatever moves your opponent throws. It is your ability to catch them and hit them back. If you are unable to catch them, you are incompetent. How can you argue with them?
Just like Chu Yuming, although the drama about a hero rescuing a beauty didn't hurt the Zhou family's face, the whole thing happened because of him, but he didn't have to pay it back.
She would look for opportunities to fight back, beating him half to death with a stick.
He Beiting understood what Zhou Sining meant, and just when he was about to say something, Yun Gui landed next to him.
"Master..." Yun Gui hesitated and glanced at Zhou Sining. He didn't know whether to say this or not. He didn't speak again until he received He Beiting's signal: "Linfeng sent word that a distinguished guest is coming from Lantingxu.
"
Zhou Sining bent his eyes and smiled, but He Beiting did not shy away from her.
"Wangjiang Tower is located on East Street, not far from here, and Zuizao is good. If you want..." He Beiting suddenly stopped talking when he was about to finish his words. He thought of the bruises on Zhou Sining's knees, and he should rest.
Looking at He Beiting's gaze, Zhou Sining understood his meaning, stood up and said: "Go, but I don't want to walk."
Don't walk? He Beiting looked at Zhou Sining, not understanding what she meant.
"How are you going?" Zhou Sining was obviously asking He Beiting, but he looked at Yun Gui who was still waiting for a reply.
"My master is naturally..." Flying over the eaves and walking over the wall.
Sensing He Beiting's eyes, Yun Gui dodged a little on his toes, and instantly disappeared and resumed his duties as a secret guard. He thought it would be better to hide in the dark and be a secret guard without a mouth. The look in his master's eyes just now was too scary.
Okay, the young lady is just using his mouth to say something, that's it, that's it.
Zhou Sining's eyes blinked, and he looked at He Beiting as if he could talk. His look was so delicate and pitiful that people couldn't help but think of her.
Unable to see Zhou Sining's delicate and pitiful eyes, He Beiting covered his lips with his fist and said, "Take you with me."
When Zhou Sining heard this, he immediately turned around happily and walked back. As he walked, he called Lonicera, who was guarding outside the door, "Hurry and get some coats."
Lonicera said: "Girl, it's already late at night and you still want to go out?"
"Well, let's go to Wangjiang Tower to eat drunken dates." Zhou Sining said as he quickly put his coat on.
Lonicera wanted to say that she hadn't finished eating the drunken dates at home, but when the corner of her eyes glanced at He Beiting who was standing outside the window waiting, she retracted the words that were about to reach her lips. At the same time, she also retracted the sentence "The maid will go too."
Well, my uncle would never harm a girl. But she still felt uneasy if she didn't follow him.
