Chapter 848 was spread by you!
Chapter 848 was spread by you!
Almost as soon as someone mentioned a certain lady, everyone realized something was wrong!
Everyone still remembers clearly what Madam Zhao did before. Could it be that she deliberately spread rumors to ruin the engagement after learning that Miss Chu was going to get engaged?
"If this was really done by Madam Zhao, then it's far too vicious!"
"I don't think it's impossible. Madam Zhao is ruthless by nature. In my opinion, that incident can't be blamed on Miss Chu at all."
"Their fiancé died before they were even married. What could that have to do with her? If there's any connection, it should be that he died right after they got married."
"Miss Chu has been delayed for a long time because of this matter, and now she has passed the best time to get married. If they still deliberately sabotage her, they will be truly wicked!"
"I heard that Miss Chu is going to marry the third son of the Song family. If she really has such a destiny, why would the Song family allow her to marry into the family?"
The crowd whispered among themselves; the tide had begun to turn in this short period of time.
Seeing this, Song Jingshen exclaimed in amazement, "Fifth Sister, your move is truly brilliant! Now everyone's attention has been diverted to Madam Zhao."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "The best way to deal with a rumor is to suppress it with another one. People are always attracted to what interests them more."
The marriage of the Second Miss Chu was actually quite normal; it was only the annulment of the engagement that made it seem strange. Now that everyone knows it might all have been orchestrated by the Zhao family, they are naturally more interested in the latter.
In such cases, the person who is falsely accused is usually the most affected, and it is also quite difficult to resolve the issue, making it easy for others to use it against them.
However, for those of them who are just observing, it's much simpler.
"It still has to be you." Song Jingshen said admiringly. He considered himself to be quite capable of solving problems, but compared to his younger sister, he still had a lot to learn!
"It's just an eye for an eye. Madam Zhao was pushing her luck, she deserves it!"
Song Ruozhen narrowed her eyes slightly. If she didn't take advantage of the moment to resolve Madam Zhao's problem, she feared that similar troubles would recur in the future.
To strike a snake, strike its vital spot. Since you're going to make a move, you have to deliver a fatal blow and not give the opponent a chance to recover.
Listening to his younger sister's words, Song Jingshen seemed to suddenly realize that things were not so simple and that his younger sister had a backup plan!
When Prince Gong and his wife noticed that the public's opinion was beginning to shift and realized that Madam Zhao was plotting something, they exchanged a glance and felt a surge of satisfaction!
"I knew my judgment was right. It must have been that wicked woman who was behind it all. How could anyone be so vicious?"
Jia Yueying clenched her fists, feeling extremely annoyed.
Prince Gong was also displeased. He and General Zhao had always had a good relationship, otherwise they would not have arranged this marriage in the first place.
Later, after General Zhao died in battle, Madam Zhao fainted several times and became somewhat mentally unstable and erratic. He then thought there was no need to hold a grudge against her.
Anyway, the relationship between the two families was over with this marriage, and they could just have less contact in the future. But Madam Zhao really took their concessions as her own ability and didn't restrain herself at all.
"Rest assured, Madam, I will definitely resolve this matter properly!"
Prince Gong hardened his heart. He wasn't one to sit idly by; he couldn't allow the other party to repeatedly use underhanded tricks to harm his wife and daughters.
Although the two sides had fought before, his wife was not weak in combat and only suffered minor injuries. Madam Zhao was so badly beaten that she had to stay in bed for several days.
After that, the two sides had no further contact. I never expected that this woman would resort to such insidious methods behind the scenes!
Hearing her master's words, Jia Yueying knew what he meant and couldn't help but feel happy. She had long been unhappy with Madam Zhao, but the prince hadn't completely broken off relations because of his friendship with General Zhao.
Just because Madam Zhao lost her son and was traumatized doesn't mean she can hurt them with impunity.
This is absolutely not okay!
Seeing that things had developed to a certain point, and noticing a person hiding in the crowd preparing to leave quietly, Song Ruozhen immediately whispered a few words of advice to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi recognized the person her princess was referring to and, without hesitation, immediately ordered the people she had arranged to act.
Just as Zhao Qiang from General Zhao's residence was about to leave, a woman suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
"It's you! I heard this news from you before. Tell me, where did you get this news from?"
"I heard it from you. Could it be that you deliberately spread rumors? Are you someone from General Zhao's mansion?"
Several more people appeared from the side, pointing at the man and successfully diverting everyone's attention to him.
As people got a clearer look at the man's face, some of them recognized him.
"That's right, this person seems to work for the Zhao family. He's probably here to watch the commotion on purpose, and he'll probably have to go back and report to them!"
“The people from General Zhao’s mansion have all been arrested. What’s there to say now? It must have been a message deliberately spread by their own people.”
Zhao Qiang never expected to be suddenly grabbed. A hint of nervousness flashed across his face as he quickly shook off the hand and said:
"Why are you grabbing me? I just happened to be passing by and saw something interesting, so I came to take a look. Don't wrong me!"
"We've wronged you? We heard your rumors before, and besides, at this time, instead of doing your duties properly at home, you've come here. There's clearly something wrong with you. Do you really think we're fools?"
Zhao Qiang's words were not very convincing to begin with, and since there were quite a few people who could attest to this, everyone immediately believed him.
"General Zhao is being far too despicable. Why does he have to target a young woman when she hasn't even married into the family yet? He's forcing her to commit suicide!"
Although everyone felt sorry for General Zhao at the time, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and forcing that girl to be buried with him was truly cruel.
Throughout history, there have been instances of people being buried alive with their husbands, but it simply doesn't make sense to force someone to be buried alive before marriage.
"If you ask me, General Zhao was killed by the enemy. Even if Madam Zhao is heartbroken and wants revenge, she should go find the person who killed her son. What's the point of targeting a girl all the time?"
Song Ruozhen came out at this moment and said, "You deliberately spread this news."
Zhao Qiang was startled and quickly denied it, "It wasn't me, I didn't do such a thing!"
"You didn't do it?" Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. "I advise you to tell the truth. Your wife is about to give birth, right? Doing this kind of thing is a sin, and you will be punished."
