Chapter 1314 Is this an idiot?
"Your Highness Chengyan's martial arts aura is far stronger than Yunsheng's. His whole demeanor is filled with killing intent, which Yunsheng lacks."
"That's because Yunsheng now has a child. When he kidnapped the wife before, did you forget how arrogant and domineering he was, with a murderous look on his face? He was just as bad as Chengyan, even colder than Chengyan."
Huan Yanxi thought about it for a moment and agreed, then said with a smile, "It seems that if Cheng Yan is to make a complete change, it's probably because she's pregnant."
“Cheng Yan will definitely change once he has a child. In fact, he looks much better now than before. Let’s not be too demanding of him. The martial arts practitioners and young masters from noble families have different skills and methods.”
"And Yan Xi, you didn't like to talk much back then either. All you did was say was 'uh-huh' or 'oh,' acting like a rich young master."
Huan Yanxi, feeling awkward after hearing the Crown Prince's teasing, said, "Your Highness, I'm just being reserved, not that I don't talk."
Seeing Huan Yanxi's expression, the eldest prince stopped teasing him and continued to watch over Su Yueyao.
Su Yueyao woke up for a while in the evening, drank some simple porridge, and then fell asleep again.
Unbeknownst to her, that very night, the people of Fengdu City spread the word that Wenren Qichi was eager to marry her, and that she had gone to Xuanming Temple to avoid him, while Wenren Qichi shamelessly chased after her.
Almost no negative information about her came out; all the comments were mocking Wenren Qichi, and even the Wenren family was dragged into it.
Xingchen also investigated the events of yesterday and found that no matter how she investigated, there was no trace of Wenren Qichi's involvement; it could only be a coincidence.
Upon receiving the message from Fengdu early this morning, I was speechless.
No one would believe that Wenren Qichi wasn't behind this; the rumors all revolved around him, and mentioning his wife was almost always just a side note.
Is it because you're so willing to risk your reputation that you're planning to leave yourself no way out even if you don't marry the wife?
When Xingchen arrived at Su Yueyao's house, he saw Cheng Yan and the others waiting at the door.
"Lord Xingce, are you also here to ask the mistress about the rumors in Fengdu?" Nanfeng asked.
"Yes! I have already investigated what happened yesterday. He did not lay a hand on anyone. The people who touched him, including those who were talking about him, were all pilgrims who had booked their trips in advance or at the last minute yesterday."
"But the rumors circulating in Fengdu last night, all the mudslinging was thrown at him, which is almost certainly something he did himself."
After Xingchen finished speaking, Lin Zixu interjected, "Has Wenren Qichi lost all sense of shame? Doesn't he care about his family's reputation anymore? He..."
Lin Zixu became increasingly agitated as he spoke, but Cheng Yan, who was standing in the corner, interrupted him, saying, "He did this simply to prevent his wife from being tainted by any rumors. He told me yesterday that he would handle it himself if rumors surfaced. I didn't expect him to..."
"What? He told Chengyan yesterday that he wanted to handle it this way. Why didn't he tell us beforehand so we could stop him? Or at least try to suppress the rumors? How can he face the world after throwing all this mud at himself?" Xu Minghe said.
“He didn’t tell me how to handle it at all. I had the Broken Rainbow Alliance keep an eye on things last night, and I arranged for people to suppress the rumors when they came out, but I didn’t expect that they couldn’t suppress them.”
"Almost instantly, rumors about him shamelessly clinging to his wife started circulating, catching me completely off guard. How could anyone slander themselves like that?" Cheng Yan said, somewhat devastated.
"I have to admire this young master Wenren for his reputation and shame, and for not letting his wife spread even a single rumor," Sun Yibai said.
"Let's not talk about whether what he did was right or wrong now. When the wife wakes up later, should we tell her about this? If she finds out, will she feel burdened?" Lin Zixu said.
"Will you tell the truth, Star Lord?" Xu Minghe asked as well.
Xingchen frowned, feeling a bit of a headache. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll go see Wenren Qichi and see what he really means. If my wife wakes up, let's keep quiet for now!"
"Row."
Xingchen immediately flashed towards Wenren Qichi's room.
When he arrived, the pharmacist was changing his dressing.
"Wenren, your tendon-regenerating plaster is really effective. It's already scabbed over, and the recovery is going well."
"When Wumian comes back, have him give you a bottle, and you can study it!" Wenren Qichi said calmly, enduring the pain.
Cheng Yao looked at Wenren Qichi, who was enduring the pain, and said, "Then thank you very much. Also, were the rumors that spread in Fengdu last night, all the mudslinging against you, orchestrated by your people?"
Wenren Qichi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Cheng Yao looked at his tacit expression and said, "You're something else! You're willing to give up your reputation and face. If this Miss Su doesn't marry you, your family will be disgraced because of you. Is it worth it?"
"I also want to know if it's worth it?" Xingchen's figure appeared in the room and asked Wenren Qichi.
Wenren Qichi saw the stars appear but remained silent.
Xingchen looked at Wenren Qichi, who hadn't answered him, and said, "Do you feel it wasn't worth it, and regret it in your heart?"
"I have no regrets. I was the one who caused this whole thing, and whatever the outcome, I deserve it."
"You deserve it. Have you ever thought about whether the Queen will feel guilty or upset when she finds out? If you orchestrated and plotted yesterday's events, then you deserve this outcome today. But yesterday's events had nothing to do with you; it was just a coincidence."
"You are also a victim. In order to protect a woman who has not yet decided whether to marry you, you have risked your own reputation and the reputation of your entire family."
“I don’t regret doing this, and Lady Su is worth it,” Wenren Qichi said without hesitation.
Before dawn this morning, when he received Ye Xing's message, he knew that things had gotten quite serious. He didn't expect the rumors in Fengdu to spread so quickly and so widely, directly trampling his and the Wenren family's reputation and face into the ground.
But he didn't regret it. He loved Su Yueyao, so he should eliminate anything that could harm her. This was the only way he could protect her.
“Star Lord, you…” Wenren Qichi said halfway, as if he had thought it through and made up his mind, “If the Lady feels guilty and upset, just say that what happened yesterday was my doing! That way, at least she won’t feel burdened anymore and won’t be bothered by the rumors.”
"what?"
Xingchen looked at him in disbelief, and even Chengyao's expression froze on his face.
Is this person an idiot? Doing good deeds anonymously? Taking on undeserved stigma?
