Chapter 182 Rumors
"Sister Cui, how are you?"
Xue Sitong greeted Cui Weiyang who was sitting on the other side.
Cui Weiyang asked another girl to stand up, "Sister Sitong, come and sit down."
Xue Sitong expressed his gratitude to the girl and then sat next to Cui Weiyang.
"Sister Cui, I'm going to suffer in Yinbai County this time."
Cui Weiyang smiled and said, "This incident happened suddenly, and I was indeed a little frightened."
Xue Sitong clasped her hands together and said, "Thank goodness my sister is safe."
Then he asked casually, "Sister Cui must be familiar with this Jiang Xiangjun."
Cui Weiyang seemed to be waiting for her to ask, and said with a smile, "I've dealt with her several times. She is truly a rare woman."
Xue Sitong seemed quite interested. "Sister, tell me about it. I'm quite curious."
Cui Weiyang pointed at Jiang Yutong and said, "She's right there. If you have any questions, just go ask her."
Xue Sitong lowered her head as if embarrassed, "I don't know him, and besides, Jiang Xiangjun is very popular right now, so I can't squeeze in."
Cui Weiyang carefully looked at Xue Sitong, causing Xue Sitong to touch her face and ask, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Cui Weiyang smiled and shook her head, pulling Miss Chen next to her. "Do you think Sitong looks a bit like this Jiang Xiangjun?"
Xue Sitong frowned.
Miss Chen's eyes widened immediately. "If you hadn't told me, Miss Cui, I wouldn't have noticed it."
Then he began to look at Xue Sitong.
"Indeed, she looks like Madam Xue. Sister Sitong, could this Jiang Xiangjun be your long-lost sister?"
After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.
Xue Sitong's expression changed.
Cui Weiyang pushed him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Miss Chen slapped her mouth lightly and said, "Sister Sitong, don't be angry. I was just talking nonsense."
Xue Sitong didn't get any information about Jiang Yutong from Cui Weiyang, and was confused by what Miss Chen said.
I could only say goodbye to Cui Weiyang in a hurry.
Xie Xinran was sitting next to He Yunhan at the moment. He Yunhan looked unhappy. "She's just a country woman, look how proud she is."
Xie Xinran was also a little unhappy at the moment. She originally thought that she would be the focus of the day, but she didn't expect Jiang Yutong to steal the limelight. However, she was not a petty person. Her engagement with the prince was almost certain. At that time, she would be the most honorable person except for the empress dowager and the queen.
Although Zhong Qionglan had a smile on her face, her mind was not here, and her eyes drifted towards Jiang Yutong from time to time.
Mrs. He beside her called out a few times and found that she didn't respond, so she patted her arm gently and said, "What are you looking at? I called you a few times and you didn't respond."
Zhong Qionglan calmed herself down and shook her head, "I'm a little tired."
Madam He covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "Maybe your Master Xue was too brave last night and tired you out."
Zhong Qionglan blushed and scolded, "You're so old, and you still speak without restraint."
Madam He smiled and said, "Who made you the most envied ladies in the whole capital? Your Master Xue has been treating you the same as he did in the past ten years, and he doesn't have any of those beautiful women around him. I envy you so much."
Speaking of her husband, Zhong Qionglan couldn't help but smile, her eyes full of love. Her husband has always been very good to her, and this is the thing that makes her most proud over the years.
Another lady nearby smiled and said, "Madam Xue is so lucky. Not only is she and her husband in love, but she also has a pair of children who are enviable. I heard that Siwen got first place in the Imperial College exam again."
Zhong Qionglan quickly said, "Siwen is lucky this time. Your children are praised by the teacher every day. I would say they are all good children."
Mrs. He looked at Zhong Qionglan with a bit of envy. Seeing her smug look, she felt a bit suffocated. She had just had a fight with her husband over a concubine yesterday.
"Do you think this Jiang Xiangjun is going to become the new upstart of the capital? He's quite popular. But why does this Jiang Xiangjun look more and more familiar?"
Zhong Qionglan's mood, which had just started to improve, suddenly took a hit.
Mrs. Chen next to her continued, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed true. It does look familiar."
Madam He moved closer to Zhong Qionglan. "Resemble, indeed. Could it be that you two are relatives? Madam Xue, have you ever been in Yinbai County for some time?"
Zhong Qionglan forced a smile and said, "Yes, I did stay in Yinbai County for a while."
Mrs. Chen was surprised and said, "That can't be such a coincidence, is she a relative of yours?"
This voice immediately attracted the attention of other ladies, "Who is related to whom?"
Mrs. Chen knew she had overreacted a bit. Seeing Zhong Qionglan's unhappy expression, she said awkwardly, "No, I was just joking."
Madam He said casually, "We were talking about this Jiang Xiangjun. Do you think he looks somewhat similar to Madam Xue?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, sometimes at Jiang Yutong, sometimes at Zhong Qionglan.
"Indeed, Madam Xue, maybe he is your relative. Why don't you go and meet him? Even if he is not, it is still a kind of fate."
"That's right, Jiang Xiangjun has been very popular recently, and it won't hurt to get in touch with him."
Then everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
Zhong Qionglan's face looked a little grim. She found an excuse and stood up to leave. "Excuse me."
When Mrs. He saw Zhong Qionglan fleeing in panic, her mood improved and she started chatting with everyone again.
Jiang Yutong also felt the different gazes, and after enduring the banquet, Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
Somehow, the news that Jiang Yutong was a relative of Mrs. Xue spread like wildfire.
Jiang Yutong frowned when she heard these discussions, and looked at Zhong Qionglan. She found that it was the mother and daughter she saw in the jewelry shop last time. She didn't see what the mother looked like last time, but this time she took a closer look and felt something strange in her heart. They did look a bit similar.
Jiang Yutong smiled at Zhong Qionglan and her daughter, and Zhong Qionglan quickly lowered her head.
This reaction made Jiang Yutong think of something subtle.
Then he shook his head, thinking that perhaps Mrs. Xue was also harmed by the rumors.
Madam Liang accompanied Jiang Yutong out of the palace and smiled at her, "Don't mind, Yutong. These rumors will disappear after a while."
Mrs. Liang liked Jiang Yutong's personality very much, and at this moment she was calling Jiang Yutong's name affectionately.
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "I don't really care. I'm just worried that it might cause inconvenience to Madam Xue."
Jiang Yutong could clearly see that the Xue family mother and daughter were not in a good mood.
Madam Liang smiled and said, "I'm sure Madam Xue isn't such a stingy person. Besides, it's not bad to be related to someone like you, Yutong."
Jiang Yutong smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Yuwen was already waiting at the palace gate. Seeing Jiang Yutong, he greeted her with a smile, "Sister."
Then he saw Zhong Qionglan not far away, his eyes were startled, and he muttered, "Mother."
Jiang Yutong, who was nearby, couldn't help but be stunned.
