Before Su Jin could step out of the gate of Li's mansion, Yang and his uncle began to suspicion.

My uncle first laughed at himself: "Mr. Xiao is indeed very jealous. I am overestimating my abilities and want to climb up."

Yang doesn’t like to listen. Could it be that her parents’ family, a famous family with a long history of scholarship, is not worthy of Xiao Zhen?

After calming down for a moment, Yang frowned and analyzed: "This marriage is beneficial to Xiao Zhen's career. As long as Xiao Zhen is not stupid, he will not refuse. In my opinion, it is probably because the young widow of Su's family is reluctant to hand over the power of the housekeeper to the wife who was married by Xiao Zhen. Especially Su Lan is more identifiable than her. She is afraid that the Xiao family will no longer have her place after Su Lan enters, so she makes a fuss to reject us, and Xiao Zhen does not know."

While his uncle couldn't believe that Su had such a courage, he raised a glimmer of hope and looked at Yang with expectation: "What should we do?"

Yang thought for a while and said, "Let Uncle Sulan find an opportunity to ask Xiao Zhen directly, Sulan is dignified and virtuous, I don't believe Xiao Zhen looks down on it."

My uncle nodded. No matter how capable Xiao Zhen is, he is from the poor people. In this part of the north, Xiao Zhen can marry her daughter Sulan.

At night, Yang mentioned this to her husband Li Yong.

Li Yong hesitated and said, "Are you sure that Su was the one who interfered with it? Maybe Xiao Zhen..."

Yang interrupted her husband and stared at him and asked, "You are Xiao Zhen when you are changing places, will you refuse?"

Li Yong was silent.

Of course he would not, it was difficult to be promoted to civil servants, and the rank of military officers on the frontier was even more desperate. What's more cruel is that the main general could take on himself the contributions made by the soldiers on the battlefield. Which subordinate made contributions and which subordinate was greedy for life and fear of death depends entirely on the words in the memorial of the general. If he were Xiao Zhen, he would never miss such an opportunity to have a relationship with Shang Fengla.

Compared with the career of the officialdom, children can be left aside. They don’t like the girl from Shangfeng’s family very much, but just take a beautiful concubine.

Li Yong admired Xiao Zhen very much. He also hoped that his wife's niece could marry this good man. As for his wife, Su's family had selfish intentions. A woman who set up a stall and sold buns was able to live a good life with Xiao Zhen, could indeed make such a cunning move.

On that day, Xiao Zhen came to the Zhangcheng Vilatory to report official affairs. After the main business was discussed, it happened to be lunch. Li Yong kept Xiao Zhen to use it together.

Xiao Zhen refused, Li Yong insisted, so he was not polite.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yong smiled and said to Xiao Zhen: "The one we have often blamed you recently, do you know?"

Xiao Zhen was stunned.

Li Yong reminded him: "She is willing to betroth Su Lan to you, but you don't want to beg you. The woman is petty and can't help but nag a few words."

The commander of the third-rank official rank shook his head while saying, as if he was helpless with the temper of his wife at home, but there was a hidden exploration under the smile in his eyes.

It turned out that it was this. Xiao Zhen poured a glass of wine for himself and said generously: "Xiao is rough and has a lot of thought. Now he is all about killing the enemy and making a name for himself. He has no intention of getting married and letting down his wife's kindness. He should be punished." After that, he raised the wine bowl high, raised his head and drank it all, and the Adam's apple rolled continuously.

Li Yong understood that the fallen flowers were intentionally flowing water without mercy. Xiao Zhen really didn't want to marry the girl from the Yang family, rather than Su's family interfering.

After a few words, Li Yong no longer wasted his lips and tongue, but only drank with Xiao Zhen, saying that a man should make a name for himself while he was young. The commander was as broad-minded as he expected. Xiao Zhen drank this wine very happily, and when he rode a horse, he completely threw the matter behind his head.

Poor Yang, my uncle waited for a few days, but what I waited was disappointed.

With her husband on her back, Yang scolded Xiao Zhen: "The vulgar martial artist, he doesn't want to give him a face. He really thinks that he can reach the top alone with just a few achievements? If Uncle Su Lan was not willing to promote him, he would still be an ordinary man now!"

My uncle and wife were so dirty that they wanted to take their daughter out of Zhangcheng immediately, but in a few days it was Li Huizhu's birthday, and the mother and mother agreed to stay for too long.

The man refused to agree, and the two women became angry and stopped the idea of ​​marrying Xiao Zhen. Yang Sulan was very sad when she learned that Xiao Zhen was unintentional to her. The girl's family was thin-skinned and hid in the boudoir and refused to go out.

Only Xiao Zhen, Su Jin and Li's Mansion knew about this failed marriage, but I don't know which maid or a woman in the Li's mansion leaked, and the news disappeared and spread it scattered. There were several families who heard about this. Due to Li Yong's identity, these people cautiously did not spread it outside, but they could not resist the opportunity to make trouble.

At the home of Li Wenbiao, a thousand households in the North City, after Li Wenbiao heard about this from his wife, he couldn't help but pour sour water on his confidant Wu Erye: "Xiao Zhen is a country bumpkin, why is his luck so good? First, he was valued by the adults and promoted him all the way. In just two years, he has been on my head. Now he wants to marry Miss Yang to him. It's really... he can't accept it."

The elder brother was locked up in a cell because Xiao Zhen was locked up, and Mr. Wu didn’t want to hear the good news about Xiao Zhen, so he asked in surprise: “Have Xiao Zhen agreed?”

Li Wenbiao suddenly smiled and gloated, "No, Xiao Zhen, I don't know what good to say about him. He doesn't want a great opportunity, so he refused the Yang family."

Mr. Wu breathed a sigh of relief and wondered again: "Is it wrong for the lady of the Yang family?"

Li Wenbiao heard a lot of gossip from his wife and shook his head and said, "Miss Yang's family is well-educated, but she is just a medium-sized person and is not outstanding."

Wu Erye's eyes lit up and glanced at the door of the study. He walked to Li Wenbiao and lowered his voice: "Sir, among the five thousand households under the Zhangcheng Guard, you are the oldest. If Xiao Zhen loses his official position and takes over as the commander, you will be the one who will take over the commander."

Li Wenbiao had long been jealous of Xiao Zhen's promotion. He raised his head and looked at his confidant excitedly: "Can you make Xiao Zhen lose his official position?"

Mr. Wu nodded, leaned into Li Wenbiao's ear, and whispered quietly.

Li Wenbiao slammed his fist and said, "Okay, let's do what you said! After the matter is done, I will find a way to get your elder brother out of prison early!"

Mr. Wu smiled and saluted: "Thank you, sir."

Any rumor about the official family is afraid that the disaster will affect the future, and they dare not discuss it publicly. Ordinary people will be different. When a person gets a letter, he will immediately tell the people around him. One is spread by five or five. After that, someone came to Suji Baozi Shop to buy buns and asked Agui mysteriously: "I heard that Lord Xiao disliked Miss Yang's ugly appearance and rejected the red line that Commander Li personally led?"

No one in the entire Xiao Mansion, except Su Jin and Xiao Zhen, and the smart housekeeper, knew about this.

"Who did you hear?" Agui asked back in shock.

Seeing that his expression was not as fake, the man wondered, "It's like this that happens on the street, is there any fake?"

Agui was flexible and smiled while picking up buns for the guests: "I don't know if I live in adults' house every day, so it must be fake."

The man left half-believingly.

The more Agui thought about it, the more serious the matter was, so he hurriedly sent Jixiang to inform the boss's wife.

Su Jin sat on the kang sewed winter clothes for her daughter. After hearing the words of Jixiang, Su Jin felt a thump in her heart and the tip of the needle almost pierced her finger.

"Go and ask the butler!"

Jixiang went there quickly.

Su Jin looked at her daughter who was sleeping soundly not far away and felt confused. The most important thing for the female lady in the official family was that her reputation was not present. For the lady in the boudoir, the most serious rumor was that her chastity was not present. The second one was that her appearance was ugly. The marriage failed. Yang and her uncle could not destroy their reputation. She had not passed on half of the story. Could it be that Xiao Zhen was stupid and talked nonsense outside?

Su Jin told the butler: "You go to the military camp immediately, report the rumors outside to the adults, and ask if they have been leaked unintentionally."

The butler understood the power of it and rode a donkey to the military camp.

After hearing what the butler said, Xiao Zhen was so scared. First, the lady of the Yang family looked mediocre, not ugly, and not extremely ugly. Who spread such rumors that slandered Miss Yang's reputation so viciously? Second, he had never mentioned this to outsiders, but this vicious rumor arose because of him and was related to him.

Only three families who know the inside story are Yang, and the uncle and wife cannot frame her own girl, Su Jin...

Xiao Zhen frowned. Su Jin hoped that he would marry Lord Li and would never say bad things about Miss Yang's family.

Although the Qing Dynasty was clear, the rumors were too vicious. Xiao Zhen immediately went to the Wei Sect to ask for Li Yong, apologized for the crime first, and then clarified that the rumors had nothing to do with him.

Li Yong's face looked very ugly.

Before his daughter Huizhu was born, Li Yong always treated his wife's niece Yang Sulan as her own daughter. She loved her since childhood. Otherwise, he would have been a commander and would never have personally matched her niece and Xiao Zhen. Now that such rumors are rumored, how can her daughter's family stand it?

Li Yong believed in Xiao Zhen's character and did not doubt Xiao Zhen. He asked in a deep voice: "Is Su's mouth a mess and talking nonsense to others when setting up a stall?"

Xiao Zhen himself was occasionally dissatisfied with Su Jin, but after Feng Shi died, he had long regarded Su Jin as his younger brother and sister. Li Yong questioned Su Jin's character without hesitation. Xiao Zhen felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and lowered his eyes to defend himself: "Su's family has stopped setting up stalls after giving birth to a daughter. This year, he has been widowed and filial, and is definitely not a slander. Moreover, Su praised Miss Cousin and even scolded me for being ungrateful. How could she do something to do to be sorry Miss Cousin?"

Li Yong is indeed tolerant, but at this time he is in a bad mood. Xiao Zhen actually gave him a look in order to show his face to a widow in the city. Li Yong couldn't help but sneer and glared at Xiao Zhen and said, "You really don't know what you are good and good. Su Rand is both talented, so how can you not deserve you? Now it's because of your bad reputation..."

Halfway through speaking, Li Yong left with a blue face.

Xiao Zhen understood Li Yong's anger and did not take Li Yong's words "no matter how ungrateful" to heart. He only had a headache about rumors. After returning home, he discussed with Su Jin. Su Jin asked him to go to Li's house to apologize tomorrow. Xiao Zhen nodded and agreed.

As night fell, Su Jin lay in the quilt and tried to find out the source of the rumors. He could not find it because it might be Xiao Zhen offended someone. The other party planned to provoke the relationship between Xiao Zhen and Lord Li. It might be that someone looked at Yang, uncle or Yang Sulan, and deliberately used Xiao Zhen to retaliate. There were too many possibilities, and he had a headache after thinking about it.

At the same time, everyone in the Li family had no intention of sleeping. The uncle and his wife couldn't sleep alone and shed tears secretly. Yang kept scolding Xiao Zhen in her husband Li Yong's ear. Yang Sulan's boudoir was hazy in the night. The slender figure on the bed suddenly lifted the quilt and walked down. While shedding tears silently, she threw the long white silk to the beam of the house and tied a knot...

With a "bang", the chair fell to the ground.

The maid who was watching the night was startled when she heard the movement and called out, "Miss?"

No one responded in the inner room, only strange struggles came.

The maid rushed in and saw the lady hanging in the air and kicking her legs. The maid immediately screamed, then ran over and hugged the lady's legs and pushed her up.

With the timely rescue, Yang Sulan finally saved her life, but she really didn't want to live anymore and hugged in her mother's arms and cried bitterly.

Yang asked her husband angrily with red eyes: "Is it because Yousu Lan died that you are willing to touch Xiao Zhen?"

Li Yong stood in front of the screen and looked at his niece who was determined to die. The man suddenly clenched his fists.

The author has something to say:

Su Jin: Sir, hide quickly, the fire is coming from the sky!

Lord Xiao rushed over and pressed her under him.

Su Jin was stunned: What are you doing?
