Chapter 1231: Smash the face of the rumormonger
But Bai Zhi was surprisingly calm. She just raised an eyebrow when she heard her report, and then acted like a normal person, doing what she should do as if she didn’t listen to what she said at all.
She wondered if she hadn’t made it clear just now.
“Miss, are you not angry?” Xiao Qing asked.
Bai Zhi continued to water the flowers without raising her eyelids: “I’m not angry, what’s there to be angry about?”
Xiao Qing’s eyes widened: “Why are you not angry? Are you not angry when they accuse you out of nothing?”
It was fine if others did not know the inside story, but in those three years, Xiao Qing was by her side all the time. She knew what kind of life she lived in these three years, even though she couldn’t bear to listen to those lies made out of nothing.
Bai Zhi shrugged: “Rumors are limited to wise people, those who spread rumors are evil, and those who spread rumors are stupid. Why should I argue with a group of stupid people? What’s the point?”
“But they said this about you to ruin your reputation, you don’t care at all?” Xiao Qing asked anxiously.
Bai Zhi shook her head: “Reputation is what everyone cares about, but this thing, you can keep it if you don’t care about it.”
“The wise man knows he knows nothing, the fool thinks he knows all. Those who are my friends and relatives will naturally believe in me. As for others, I don’t care what they think. What do they think of me, what does it have to do with me?”
Seeing that Xiao Qing still looked incomprehensible, she finally put down the water bottle in her hand and said with a smile, “It’s like, when you meet a mad dog on the street, it barks at you and even bites you. Do you have to bark back at it? Or bite it back?”
“Then what should I do?” Xiao Qing was puzzled. She was the future empress of the state of Chu, how important reputation was to her.
Bai Zhi shrugged: “Nothing, do nothing, say nothing, rumors are rumors after all. Time will prove everything, I don’t need to rush to prove myself.”
“Miss, don’t you want to know who is spreading this rumor?”
Bai Zhi said: “I don’t need to bother with this, someone will look into it naturally, and someone who opened her cheap mouth will naturally be dealt with.” She was very clear about Chu Yan’s temperament. If he knows about this, he will not let it slide.
“Can the miss guess who it is?” Xiaoqing asked.
Bai Zhi smiled lightly: “I don’t have many enemies, I only have a few enemies closes by, and there is only one person who can spread such rumors to the entire capital city.”
“Who is it?” Xiao Qing asked anxiously, her slender hands clenched into fists, wishing she could smash the face of the rumor-monger.
“Princess Yiping!”
Xiao Qing raised her voice: “Her? That’s right, it’s her. That day she was slapped by you and was scolded by Young Master Meng like that. She couldn’t accept it, so she deliberately sent someone to spread such rumors, she is so bold.”
Bai Zhi smiled lightly: “She is indeed very courageous, comparable to a reckless man.” Then she smiled again, “But that’s fine, I was worried that Meng Nan’s divorce from her would not go well, after all, her surname is… Chu, her father is a prince. No matter what, her status is higher than that of the Meng Family. But now that this happened, Chu Yan will not let her stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings. In short, after this, her marriage with Meng Nan will be dissolved.”

Meng Family Mansion
Meng Nan threw a stack of letters before Chu Ning: “You still don’t admit it? The evidence is solid, and you still want to deny it?”
The person who wrote the letter was not her, but someone close to her. It was easy to check, and she felt there was no need to deny it, so she simply said: “It was me, I did it, which sentence did I say wrong? How did she spend those three years overseas, who knows?”
“She’s a woman, she went to an unfamiliar place, if she didn’t rely on a man, how would she live?” Chu Ning said sharply.
