At this moment, the young man shifted his tone, "Hah, what do you think that Miss Liu is? She is the Lonely Star, orphaned and left to die by her own hand. Who knows what tricks she used to secure her engagement.
And that's not all; that Sister Liang is also pitiful. She and the unfortunate Lord Yang are in love, yet she hasn't done anything wrong, and still, Miss Liu secretly dealt her a heavy blow." The young man shuddered as if he had witnessed something terrifying firsthand.
In an instant, Liu Qingxi's image transformed into that of a malicious and scheming village girl, while Yang Yichen and Liang Shuer became embodiments of true love, hindered by the presence of a wicked woman.
Liang Shuer was notorious in the capital, yet at this moment, she was portrayed as a pitiable flower, and no one raised any objections.
Well, in truth, the Common People wouldn't bother to investigate the authenticity of the matter; as long as this Gossip satisfied their curiosity and served as entertainment during their leisure time, it was sufficient.
Thus, this Gossip spread at an incredible speed—ten people passed it on to a hundred—within just two hours, it reached every corner of the capital.
Next, people began to discuss the engagement between Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen.
If Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi had no relatives in the capital before and their engagement had not been publicized, then after this incident, it became common knowledge.
Both were busy with their own affairs; Yang Yichen was particularly occupied with finalizing tasks and did not notice the Letter his subordinate brought him. By the time he found out, the news had already spread far and wide, with rumors circulating everywhere.
Yang Yichen was furious. Without a doubt, the mastermind behind this incident was closely related to Liang Shuer. What nonsense about mutual affection—he felt like throwing up!
How could he possibly be interested in such a woman who had been with countless men? Where did that shameless little wretch get her confidence?
Even with his good upbringing, Yang Yichen couldn't help but curse.
"Someone! Investigate this!" At this critical moment, he interjected forcefully.
It was as if everything was perfect; he was about to be with his beloved forever, surrounded by a pink haze of love. Suddenly, a torrential downpour came crashing down, extinguishing the dreamlike bubble—a painful blow that left a sour taste in his mouth.
In the evening, his subordinates exchanged glances and gestures that did not escape Liu Qingxi's notice. After some questioning, she naturally learned about the news.
What was her expression at that moment? Oh, incredible, shocked, and that woman was truly narcissistic.
However, there was no suspicion towards Yang Yichen.
If an ordinary woman encountered such a situation, she would definitely be devastated, timidly giving way, while an arrogant one might directly confront the issue. Regardless of the outcome, it would fulfill Liang Shuer's wishes.
But Liu Qingxi was different; her years of relationship with Yang Yichen could not be easily shattered by mere rumors.
There was no need for explanation; a glance exchanged with Yang Yichen conveyed complete trust.
The next day, the two went out together, visiting the Silver Shop and clothing stores, and dining together.
While everyone was focused on the story's protagonists, their actions undoubtedly shattered the rumors.
What about Liang Shuer's mutual affection? They were men; it was clear whether Yang Yichen genuinely loved someone. The love in his eyes was undeniable.
As for Liu Qingxi? With her delicate features and sweet smile immersed in happiness, she warmed the hearts of onlookers as if pink bubbles filled the air with fragrance.
"Oh dear, our previous assumptions were wrong; Lord Yang and Miss Liu really look like a couple."
"Yes, yes! I saw it with my own eyes; it must be true."
The girl clutched her pounding heart: "If there were such a man looking at me, I would definitely marry him."
"Ahhh! I can't take it anymore; I'm about to faint!"
Suddenly, men and women of all ages in the capital were bombarded by Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi's blatant display of affection.
Where is it like being tied together by a conspiracy? This is clearly true love! The man is extraordinarily handsome, and the woman is sweet and lovely. From any angle—up, down, left, right—they are a pair crafted by fate.
Their unconventional approach to the situation quickly dispelled the rumors.
In the Liang Family Liang Shuer's bedroom, the woman's face was twisted in anger. Her exquisite makeup was falling away in clumps due to her intense shaking, revealing fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
Though she was still young, her neglect of her health and frequent indulgence with many men had severely drained her vitality. Coupled with the thick layer of makeup that formed part of her refined appearance, she looked several years older than her peers after removing it.
At this moment, she was exceptionally furious, her eyes blazing with rage. The sound of shattering porcelain echoed as she smashed everything in the room until it was left in disarray.
"Why?" After so much time spent orchestrating this, rumors spread throughout the capital in an instant.
Even if she acted quickly to quell the rumors, it would take time. At this point, she could morally blackmail Yang Yichen for ruining her reputation and propose that he marry her.
Even if not as a legitimate wife, being a concubine would suffice.
Who would have thought that they would pull such a stunt, rendering all her preparations useless?
In the past, any man she set her sights on would be hers by any means necessary.
Never before had she felt so defeated, so humiliated—especially when witnessing Liu Qingxi being cherished by Yang Yichen. She wished she could take that place and enjoy his affection herself.
When one plan failed, she sought another way, even spreading rumors that Yang Yichen acted under pressure from Liu Qingxi, deliberately covering up the truth. Unfortunately, none of it worked!
In the face of true love, all demons and conspiracies are mere empty talk.
Instead, Liang Shuer usually bullies others, forcefully taking from both men and women, living recklessly, and spreading rumors that overshadow Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi.
This can be described as losing the chicken while trying to catch it.
However, will this be the end? Yang Yichen has finally grasped a ray of sunshine in his life, yet someone is trying to ruin it and touch his sore spot; he will not let it go easily.
Nonetheless, a punishment that is too light will not quell his resentment. He likely has a plan in mind and quickly arranges for his subordinates to implement it.
From the start of the rumors to their conclusion took only three hours, and with crisis management, Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi only needed one hour, demonstrating their remarkable efficiency.
At this moment, on the street, discussions about the two of them quickly dwindled.
When Liu Qingyan came out of the examination room, she was completely unaware of this.
The child has grown into a young man, dressed in a blue scholar's robe that accentuates his increasingly slender face as he sheds his baby fat.
Before Liu Qingxi could speak, Wen Family gently touched Liu Qingyan's face: "This child must not have eaten or drunk well during the exam. Come on, let's hurry home; Aunt has prepared something delicious for you."
Liu Qingyan felt good about himself after the exam and was in a cheerful mood. He smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, Aunt!"
In reality, he had eaten quite well during the exam, but the familial concern put a lot of pressure on him, allowing him to relax his pent-up feelings.
