Chapter 37 – Reputation (1)

Once Shen Ziqiao reached home, she realized what was said in De’an Courtyard about jinxing her mother, husband and mother-in-law was already spread out, thus wherever she went, curious eyes would size her up.

“Third Miss, how could you say that about yourself?” Hong Ying exasperatedly wished she could just shut those people whispering at the corners by giving them two heavy slaps. Pei! What malicious mouths they have to curse Third Miss a lifetime of solitude!

Shen Ziqiao was already prepared for others to know when she said those words out, and since she had no intention of getting married in the first place, she was indeed not concerned about it at all. She was still hoping to return to the reality world once this book had reached its finale. “They have the right to say whatever they want to say.”

Hong Yu commented softly while loosening Shen Ziqiao’s hair, “Even if that’s so, it should not have been spoken out from De’an Courtyard, Old Madam……”

Old Madam was indeed not fond of Shen Ziqiao, or else orders would have already been given to forbid the servants from spreading it around.

Shen Ziqiao laughed, “Go and prepare my bath.”

Feeling helpless, both Hong Yu and Hong Ying just looked at her.

Old Madam Shen actually did not wish for others to know about Shen Ziqiao’s jinx fate. She still intended to marry that damn girl off to Qi Zheng. It was Mama Li who accidentally yakked it out during her leisure time, hence the words were conveyed from one person to ten and ten to hundred, then shortly after, the whole of Shen’s knew about it.

“Old Madam, nubi is guilty.” Mama Li knelt down in front of Old Madam Shen. It was her own carelessness that wrecked Old Madam’s intention.

“I know you loathe that third girl. Resented her for causing you to lose your face in public. But no matter what, she is still the master. Don’t you know that it is capital offence talking behind the master?” Old Madam Shen coldly looked at Mama Li who had been attending to her for more than tens of years, hence she was annoyed at her for not being able to bear it patiently.

With her face covered in tears, Mama Li cried out, “Nubi is in the wrong.”

Old Madam Shen heaved a deep sigh, “Stand up. Even if it was not you who said it out, that damn girl would have done so.”

“It would not have been beneficial to Third Miss to spread those words.” Mama Li wiped off her tears while swelling redness could be seen on her forehead. She cautiously carried a cup of tea forward and momentarily was not able to grasp the meaning behind Old Madam’s words.

“Wasn’t she purposely ruining her own reputation?” Old Madam Shen mockingly laughed. “She thought by doing so she will not be marrying Qi Zheng and would get a good deal for herself?”

Mama Li stated, “Third Miss does wholeheartedly only wants to marry the Ninth Wangye.”

Old Madam Shen laughed tauntingly, “Ninth Wangye will never take a fancy on her.”

“What should we do now, Old Madam?” Mama Li asked.

“Wait.” Old Madam Shen only spoke a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying anything more.

In just two short days, those words were spread out that even Qi Zheng got to know about it.

As a result, a lot of people now knew that Shen’s Third Miss was actually preparing to discuss marriage with the Qi’s eldest young master. More and more people ridiculed her privately, saying that with her fate and her infamous temperament, the only match for her would be that fool.

When Qi Zheng, the fool heard those words, he merely laughed and loudly said, “Get a wife! Get a wife!”

Standing beside him, Uncle Kun was torn with grief and indignation, complaining in a low voice once they reached a secluded place, “Little Gu Shi is clearly wishing for the young master….. she has gone too far this time. You are definitely not allowed to marry this kind of girl. If madam who is in the nether world knows this, she would truly be heart broken.”

“This matter might not necessarily get accomplished.” Qi Zheng lightly explained. His long and narrow dark eyes were as serene as the deep abyss, thin lips pursed into a line and the angular face appeared strong and matured. His whole person exuded a terrifying and imposing presence, like unsheathing a sword and dazzling as the diamond. The fool that normally appeared in public was now completely transformed.

“Master will definitely not agree.” Uncle Kun replied.

Speaking of Duke Ānguó, Qi Zheng’s lip tilted into a cold and ironic smile, “No one decides my marriage.”

“No matter what, Young Master must not marry a woman who jinxes her husband. If merely jinxes the mother-in-law, then you should hastily marry her and jinx that vicious woman to death.”

Qi Zheng lightly laughed, “Those words were intentionally spread out. Shen Ziqiao is not willing to marry me.”

“What does Young Master mean?” Uncle Kun could not comprehend. “Are those words spoken by Shen’s Third Miss herself? How could that be possible? For a girl to say she will jinx her husband would mean that she would never ever get married her entire life.”

“Without a doubt, this Shen Ziqiao is truly interesting.” Qi Zheng commented with a smile.

For Uncle Kun, he was not in the least feel that a girl that would jinx her husband was interesting at all.
