The next day, Yue'er, who was sent to learn the rules by Chen Youran, sneaked back to Chen Youran's yard after hearing the rumors about Jiang Ning.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Chen Youran was still in the mood to draw, and Yue'er anxiously snatched the pen from her hand.

"Girl, what are the rumors about the relationship between that woman and the city lord? Why are you still in the mood to draw!"

Chen Youran looked at the unfinished painting in front of him and paused slightly with his fingertips.

Then he raised his eyes to look at Yue'er, his eyes slightly cold, "Did I let you come back?"

Yue'er immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake, but she still kept mumbling, "Girl, I know I was wrong. But if you don't take action, the city lord will be taken away by that woman!"

"Snapped!"

"Shut up!" Chen Youran slapped the maid Yue'er on the face, "Yue'er, since you and I entered the city lord's mansion, you have become more and more unruly. You have forgotten what my parents taught you. ?"

Yue'er covered her beaten face and looked at Chen Youran in disbelief.

She has been serving Chen Youran since she was a child. She has never endured hardships. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is half a sister of Chen Youran. Now, Chen Youran, who has always been gentle and talkative, actually beats her because of an outsider.

Tears instantly gathered in Yue'er's eyes.

Looking at Yue'er's red and swollen face, Chen Youran didn't feel soft for the first time. She said coldly, "The city lord only promised my parents to take care of me. We have no right to interfere with whoever he wants to marry. Yue'er, today I This slap on your face is to make you remember clearly that we are just guests of the City Lord's Mansion."

When he said this to Yue'er, it was also Chen Youran's advice to himself.

Everything in the past, since it was her own fault, let it go.

Everything will return to its original trajectory, and whatever it is should be done.

But Yue'er, who was beaten, could not listen to Chen Youran's words.

Her eyes turned red, tears fell from her eyes, and she turned around and ran out of the city lord's mansion.

While running, she complained about Chen Youran in her heart. Everything she said was for Chen Youran's sake, but not only did she not stop, she also hit herself.

Thinking like this, Yue'er felt even more aggrieved and ran around with her head down.

Unexpectedly, because the speed was too fast, Yue'er did not pay attention to the pedestrians and accidentally bumped into them.

"bump!"

"Ah!" Yue'er hit her hard chest and was almost bounced back and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the person who collided with her reached out to support her.

However, no one noticed that when the man reached out to support Yue'er, a wisp of black energy quietly penetrated into Yue'er's body.

Yue'er had nowhere to vent her anger, and the curse words were already on her lips, but when she saw the man's face, she swallowed them back.

"Thank you... thank you." Looking at the other party's handsome face, Yue'er couldn't help but feel a touch of shyness on her face.

"You're welcome." The man said nothing, retracted his hand and left.

Yue'er stood there, staring at the man's leaving figure, unable to move her feet.

It wasn't until the man's back disappeared that Yue'er suddenly realized that she had run so far.

After looking at the sun, it was already approaching noon. Yue'er, who was hungry, could only return to the city lord's mansion.

But even after returning to the city lord's palace, Yue'er was still thinking about Chen Youran beating her, and even a feeling of revenge flashed in her heart.

Finally, when Yue'er returned to Chen Youran's yard and was ready to admit her mistake, but Chen Youran still didn't want to see her, Yue'er completely hated Chen Youran.

In the next few days, there suddenly became more and more gossip about Chen Youran in the city lord's palace.

Regarding Chen Youran's jealousy of Jiang Ning.

"Hey, have you heard? Chen Youran locked himself in the room last night and threw things."

"Why?"

"What could it be? She's jealous of Miss Qin. Originally, she came here for the position of the city lord's wife, and now she has some hope, but now Miss Qin interferes with her, can she not be angry?"

"Is this the case? Chen Youran looks gentle and polite, but he didn't expect to be so thoughtful."

"Are you telling the truth? Miss Chen doesn't look like that?"

"How can this be false? These things were said by several maids in her courtyard."

There is Chen Youran who wants to rely on Yueyang to repay his kindness.

"Do you know why Chen Youran was brought back to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I've heard about this. It seems that her father, trying to save the Lord of the City, was seriously injured and died. She was helpless, so she came to the Lord's Mansion."

"What? This is all false. Think about it, who would risk their own life to save a stranger?"

"What are the facts?"

"The fact is that Chen Youran's father was seriously ill and was not going to die soon. He wanted to find support for Chen Youran, so he deliberately died at the hands of those who were chasing the city lord."

"Is that so? It seems like their family is not a good person."

"you do not say."

And Chen Youran did whatever it took to become the wife of the city lord.

"I heard that in order to become the wife of the city lord, Chen Youran gave him that kind of medicine."

"What medicine?"

"Oh, what else could it be? Just... that kind of thing."

"In order to become the wife of the city lord, did she even give up a woman's reputation?"

"When did this happen?"

"Just half a year ago, when the daughter of the city lord of Yu City passed through Li City, didn't she say that she fell in love with our city lord and would not marry him unless she married him? I guess Chen Youran was afraid that the city lord would marry the daughter of the city lord of Yu City, so he drugged the city lord to have a baby. Rice is cooked."

"Why is it so disgusting? Then our city lord will not..."

"Don't worry, who is our Lord City Lord? How could we be bewitched by that kind of person? I heard that in order to maintain the mechanism, the Lord City Lord stabbed several bloody holes in his own legs before he could resist the effects of the medicine."

"How can that kind of woman be worthy of our Lord City Lord?"

The rumors spread more and more widely, but in just a few days, almost everyone in the city lord's mansion knew about the guard maids.

Not surprisingly, these rumors also reached Chen Youran's ears.

"Girl, please stop listening. It will make you sad if you hear too much." Yue'er tried to close the window to keep the rumors out, but was stopped by Chen Youran.

"Wait, let me listen." Chen Youran's eyes were bloodshot. Because of these rumors, she had not slept for several days.

"They don't know anything, so why do they talk nonsense like this and insult the young lady's innocence?" Yue'er said in defense of Chen Youran.

A few days ago, after Yue'er admitted her mistakes one after another, Chen Youran finally agreed to see her. Yue'er, who returned to Chen Youran, seemed to have learned her lesson and never mentioned Jiang Ning.

Chen Youran listened to the maids outside the window discussing rumors. They didn't even shy away from Chen Youran. Even though they knew she was listening, they still talked as if there was no one else around.

Chen Youran covered up the pain in her eyes and asked Yue'er, "Where did these rumors come from?"

"Girl, I heard she's the one who lives in the guest room."
