Chapter 165 Rumors
Seeing this, the Song family member standing in the crowd quickly shouted, "But if this nanny only uses good things, why would she come to this small shop to buy things? Is what the princess said true?"
Huh?
That’s right!
With that disciple as the initiator, the crowd's attitude changed again. They kept whispering to each other and began to question Lu Xuan.
"What Princess Jin said is indeed full of loopholes!"
"I heard that the nanny by Princess Jin's side was once just a village woman. Can such a person really completely change her old habits by being around the princess?"
"What? A village woman?! Princess Jin said before that she was the daughter of General Shenwu. How could she be with a village woman and pay so much attention to her?"
"I think everyone is ignorant of this. It's because Princess Jin's mother was just a farm girl..."
Amidst the incessant whispers of the crowd, the topic of discussion suddenly became that Lu Xuan was actually just the daughter of a village woman, and she became the princess because she pretended to be the daughter of General Shenwu.
The one who brought the key words was still that disciple.
Lu Xuan felt that everything was aimed at the position of princess, and was deliberately belittling her and Nanny Yu.
Hearing the increasingly outrageous voices, Sang Luo became furious and rushed directly into the crowd and grabbed the former Song family member who was leading the conversation.
"Tell me, who instructed you to slander the princess!" Taking advantage of his panic, Sang Luo directly broke one of his arms.
The disciple felt pain and was dragged in front of the crowd by Sang Luo.
Seeing Lu Xuan standing in front of the crowd with such imposing manner, he immediately shouted loudly: "Murder! The princess is trying to silence me! Her people broke my hand..."
Sang Luo was so angry that she wanted to kick him directly, but Lu Xuan stopped her with a look.
Lu Xuan looked at the disciple and said, "Young man, I recognize you. You were a disciple of the Song family, right? Who paid you to slander me like this?"
"Slander? I'm just telling the truth!"
The servant's eyes darted around. "Because I'm familiar with the princess, I just described the real situation to everyone. Is the princess going to kill people just because the words were unpleasant?!"
The man's face flushed and his neck thickened. Not only was he not afraid at all, but he even raised his voice to the crowd: "Your true identity is not certain, whether you are the daughter of General Shenwu or not!
You look so much like the late queen, and no one has ever heard of General Shenwu getting married, so where did your daughter come from..."
As she was speaking, Nanny Yu became furious and stepped forward, slapping the doorman twice in the face.
This statement is totally groundless and clearly targeted!
The princess looks similar to the late queen, but General Shenwu has never married. So what is her identity?
The crowd's speculation is self-evident, it is to lead the issue in an unpleasant direction!
Feeling a burning pain on his face, the servant glanced at the crowd and suddenly went berserk: "Don't let anyone say it! You, the princess, are not the daughter of General Shenwu. You are just a bastard from outside the Duke's Mansion, born by the Duke and a woman of questionable character. Such an immoral person would naturally engage in sneaky activities with the servants. When I was in the Song family, I saw you having secret meetings with many wild men..."
"Wow—"
Thunder exploded in the crowd, and the whole place was in an uproar.
"It seems that what the shopkeeper said was true. That old woman really took the things. Listen to the true identity of this princess. She is so shameful!"
"That's right. Only petty people can do such petty thefts. Otherwise, you've seen this princess haven't given the shopkeeper a penny in such a long time!"
"A person like this can actually marry into the prince's palace. The prince must have been deceived by this woman!"
"Bah! The daughter of a vixen, raised by a concubine!"
Suddenly, the situation changed completely.
Ordinary people always enjoyed gossiping about the nobles and dignitaries, and now that such a big rumor had been stirred up, more and more people came to see her. Some middle-aged women even looked at Lu Xuan with a vicious look, as if she was their husband's illegitimate daughter.
Lu Xuan did not miss the sudden mad look of the disciple just now. Following his gaze, he quickly found the figure hidden in the crowd.
Lu Xuan whispered a few words in Sang Luo's ear, and Sang Luo immediately aimed at the key person in the crowd.
He leaped over in three or two steps and grabbed the man in front of everyone.
The man who was caught was an old man with white hair and beard. He was a little fat and wore ordinary people's clothes. There were some wrinkles on his face, but he looked very strong.
Lu Xuan looked at the person in front of him with a half-smile, then turned to look at the doorman: "Did you do something bad to be threatened by Manager Ji?"
After he finished speaking, the faces of the disciple and the old man next to him froze.
Sang Luo swiftly pulled off the fake beard on the old man's face and took off his hat, and the face familiar to everyone in Chaihu Street suddenly popped out.
There was a gasp from the crowd.
"I think everyone knows this guy, right?"
It’s Manager Ji.
Lu Xuan glanced at the shopkeeper who was trying to slip away, and Sang Luo quickly grabbed him.
"Shopkeeper, how much silver did Manager Ji give you to allow you to harm Prince Jin's Mansion like this?"
When the shopkeeper heard the words "Prince Jin's Mansion" instead of "Madame Yu", he was so scared that his eyes turned green.
Manager Ji only said that he wanted to teach that nanny a lesson, but he didn't mention that Prince Jin's Mansion would be involved!
When he first saw that it was the princess who came out, he was actually already nervous and was holding on with all his might, knowing that the shop might not be able to continue operating.
But now the princess has moved out of the palace directly, and this compliment might even cost him his life!
Manager Ji was indeed a man who had seen a lot of things. He was indeed surprised when Lu Xuan recognized him, but the surprise only lasted for a moment. The sarcasm on his face showed a hint of disdain.
The Second Miss is right. The Ji family has lost so much and lost so many people because of this woman. She must also have a taste of her own medicine!
Manager Ji did not show any embarrassment or ashamed of being found out. Instead, he acted like a proud and fearless warrior and gave the shopkeeper a threatening look.
The shopkeeper received the suggestive look from Manager Ji and didn't dare to speak the truth. He could only swallow his saliva and said bravely, "What did you say about giving money, Princess? Today's incident happened right under my nose. We are just discussing the matter at hand. Princess, please don't overthink it!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't say anything, the servant didn't dare to change sides, so he hurriedly said, "Princess, you can't use your status to bully us and tell us some false news just because we have told a few truths!"
Steward Ji bowed to Lu Xuan and said modestly, "Princess, I just like to dress up, and I just happen to be wearing this outfit today. Even if you recognized me, it wouldn't mean anything, right? Why do you make it sound like I'm related to you and these two?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Manager Ji, don't rush to deny it. Whether it's related or not, these two will give you a definite answer later."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but sneer inwardly when he heard Lu Xuan speak so confidently.
How could I possibly tell her about my relationship with Manager Ji and what I promised him?
You would only do this if you were crazy!
But on the surface, it seemed that he actually lowered his head, looking as if he was afraid of the powerful, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Xuan again.
Manager Ji is even less afraid of her.
A little girl who grew up under his nose.
Now that she is a princess, she speaks in a big and arrogant manner and seems to be calm and composed, but she is just trying to save face for the position of princess. In fact, they are bound to suffer a loss today!
Lu Xuan looked straight at the shopkeeper and the servant, put his hands behind his back and smiled: "Have you thought it through? It seems that you should tell the truth, right?"
After saying that, she turned her back to the crowd, made some hand gestures, and chanted a few spells.
Several truth talismans appeared on her body for a moment, and then disappeared and flew away. At that moment, Lu Xuan saw someone staring at her face, and she was so scared that she almost screamed.
