Chapter 132

"Empress, those people are talking about Lord Shen's concubine."

"Concubine?"

The queen was stunned and was a little surprised. She had heard that Lord Shen was a gentleman. She

didn't expect him to do such a thing. The queen frowned slightly. No matter what, Xu Yuan was her child's savior.

Now that she was being harassed by these people, she definitely didn't sit idly by.

The queen then led people to approach Xu Yuan.

Because she didn't alarm the people around her, Liu Mei'er didn't know that the queen was coming.

Xu Yuan looked at the person who was gradually approaching behind Liu Mei'er. Just as she made a move, she saw that person shaking his head at her in a gesture.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly understood what the queen wanted to do. When she looked at Liu Mei'er again, the corners of her lips rose slightly.

When Liu Mei'er saw the smile on Xu Yuan's face, she just thought it was a provocation to her. In the past, she didn't dare to say much about Xu Yuan's identity because she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

But now she finally found something that could make Xu Yuan ashamed.

Liu Mei'er would not miss this opportunity.

"Madam Xu, I also heard that the child of the concubine is named Shen Nu."

"Madam Xu, even if you don't like that child, you shouldn't give him such a name."

"Everyone, listen to my slave's slave, and I thought he was a Shen person. I didn't expect that this marquis' wife looked generous on the surface, but she was so vicious."

This time, those who followed Liu Mei'er didn't dare to say more, and their eyes looked carefully at the queen.

What a joke, the queen is beside, who dares to say more at this time, isn't it asking for trouble.

But Liu Mei'er didn't realize these situations at all and kept talking.

"Madam Xu, why is the child called this name, is there any explanation?"

Liu Mei'er thought she had hit Xu Yuan's sore spot, and she was still talking.

Xu Yuan glanced at the queen over there and saw that she didn't mean to speak, and Liu Mei'er now knew the existence of Shen Nu.

She even used the child's name to make a big fuss, and she could guess the other party's intentions just by these.

It must be said that Lu Rou really tried her best to discredit her reputation.

If she had not come to the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, but was just in the Duke's Mansion, she would naturally not have heard these things. As long as these rumors spread for a few more days, her reputation would be completely ruined.

Lu Rou actually used the same trick in advance.

It's a pity that Lu Rou miscalculated this time.

"Liu Mei'er, I don't know where you heard these rumors from, but when you entered the mansion, the concubine claimed that the child was not the Marquis's."

"What?" Liu Mei'er was stunned, as if she didn't expect Xu Yuan to say this suddenly.

Xu Yuan met the other party's shocked eyes and asked,

"You have heard so much news, how could you not have heard these?"

"As for the name Shen Nu, it is definitely not given by me. You are also a married woman, you should know that entering the mansion is not something that I can decide alone, there are many factors."

"If Madam Liu wants to find out what happened, you can come to the mansion another day, and I will talk to Madam Liu about it."

Liu Mei'er was completely shocked by Xu Yuan's attitude. She wanted to use so many people to let Xu Yuan humiliate herself and even become a joke.

In this way, she can ridicule Xu Yuan more when she sees Xu Yuan in the future.

But she didn't expect her to be so calm. Although she is the mistress of the mansion, it seems that these things have nothing to do with her.

Seeing Xu Yuan like this, Liu Mei'er's heart is even more uneasy.

The people present also saw what Liu Mei'er wanted to do. They naturally knew that the concubine's entry into the mansion required not only the consent of the mistress of the mansion, but also the consent of the old lady and the master.

This Marquis's wife...

When Liu Mei'er wanted to continue to say something, the Queen who was standing not far away spoke.

"Liu Mei'er, today is my palace's Hundred Flowers Banquet, but you bring up the Marquis's wife's affairs to question her. What is your intention?"

As soon as the Queen's voice came out, Liu Mei'er staggered. She turned around abruptly, and was even more frightened when she saw the Queen over there.

Her face was pale, and she was shrouded in a layer of uneasiness when she recalled what happened just now.

No wonder she felt something was wrong just now, it turned out that the problem was here.

In other words, the Queen heard what she said just now?

Thinking of this, Liu Mei'er became a little scared, and said tremblingly in the direction of the Queen, "Her Majesty... Her Majesty..."

The Queen's face was gloomy, and she looked at Liu Mei'er with displeasure.

"Madam Liu, if I remember correctly, whether you are still married or married, your status is lower than that of the Marquis. You dare not greet her, but you dare to say such words here. It's really presumptuous!"

This time, not only Liu Mei'er but also everyone present was shocked. The Queen said these words to support Xu Yuan.

When did Xu Yuan... At

this time, Liu Mei'er didn't dare to do it like before, and hurriedly said, "Queen, please forgive me, I just said something wrong."

"Since it's a slip of the tongue, why don't you apologize to the Marquis."

The Queen said coldly, and her attitude was obviously to support Xu Yuan.

After everyone realized this, they looked at Xu Yuan differently.

Liu Mei'er also widened her eyes. She remembered that Xu Yuan had no intersection with the Queen, and she had never seen Xu Yuan at the previous Hundred Flowers Banquet.

It was precisely because of this that she wondered why Xu Yuan appeared here.

But now that the Queen had spoken, Liu Mei'er dared not refuse. She came to Xu Yuan and bowed to her, saying, "Madam Hou, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have asked you about these things."

Everyone looked at Xu Yuan again.

Liu Mei'er had said so, and the rumors were all heard by her, not spread by her. Xu Yuan should have no reason to blame her at this time.

Although Liu Mei'er was only a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, a concubine could come here to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which had a lot to do with the fact that Liu Mei'er's aunt was Concubine Liu.

It was also because of this that Liu Mei'er acted so arrogantly.

Just when everyone was thinking that Xu Yuan would choose to keep things quiet, they saw Xu Yuan slowly saying to Liu Mei'er, "Madam Liu, I heard your apology just now, but I don't accept it."

"What you just said makes people wonder whether there is an insider in the Marquis' Mansion. It seems that I still have to investigate it carefully."

Xu Yuan knew that from the beginning, the queen did not rush to interrupt Liu Mei'er's words, and even asked her to apologize to her now.

In addition to wanting to support herself, she wanted to use Liu Mei'er to dampen the arrogance of Concubine Liu.

Everyone knew that the queen and the concubine were not in harmony.

In her previous life, she later learned that Shen Yun'an's false accusation against the Duke's Mansion was not only due to the third prince, but also the instigation of this concubine.
