Chapter 191: Gossip
And Han Jing is exactly the kind of beauty that makes people overlook the flaws on her face!
Plus, An Chuxue was used to seeing Han Jing’s flawless 365-degree face on posters. Honestly, even now, An Chuxue feels that the goddess is always perfect!
Han Jing...
Woman’s intuition?
Of course, she has a woman’s intuition—loving beauty, loving food, loving shopping... isn’t that enough?
At this moment, the carriage seemed to pass by somewhere, slowing down, and the fragmented whispers of passersby could be heard outside. Han Jing faintly heard someone mentioning something about Duchess Wei and discreetly lifted the curtain a little, indeed catching sight of Duke Wei Mansion’s main gate from afar.
Groups of passersby dared not come close, only whispering about something in low voices. Meanwhile, several carriages were parked at the Duke Wei Mansion gate, and servants were holding horses, waiting.
Did something happen at Duke Wei Mansion?
Han Jing instructed the driver, "Go slower."
An Chuxue leaned out to look outside, puzzled, "You getting into gossip too?"
Han Jing pulled her back, "Don’t make a sound."
Then she focused her mind, listening to the whispers of the passersby.
"This time, the joke at Duke Wei Mansion has blown up. Look at that, people from Minister Qin Mansion have personally come over, saying they want to take their grandma back!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Duchess Wei already has grandchildren, what’s this about?"
"You don’t know, do you? I have a relative working at Duke Wei Mansion. Heard that Duchess Wei tried to hang herself last night. If it weren’t discovered in time, she’d be dead by now! Originally, Duke Wei Mansion kept a tight lid on this, not a whisper leaked out. But who could have guessed, Duchess Wei woke up and demanded a divorce, pissing off the elder lady at Duke Wei Mansion, who fell sick! Isn’t that why people from Qin Mansion came to say that after being in-laws for so many years, Duke Wei Mansion is really too much!"
"That’s not right. Why would Duchess Wei refuse the title of Duchess and hang herself?"
"Haha, you should ask Duke Wei! Everybody knows Duke Wei was away at war and didn’t come back for years. Duchess Wei stayed home like a living widow, caring for the entire household. How could she be happy? Most likely, Duke Wei came back and ruffled her feathers!"
"I’ve heard Duke Wei can’t forget Eldest Princess. So, he wants to divorce his wife? Duchess Wei can’t swallow this and that’s why..."
"Get lost, you want to die? You dare speak nonsense about Eldest Princess?"
"..."
Han Jing rubbed her ears; what absurd nonsense was this?
Besides, this Han Si Que is really worthless, being married for so many years, not living properly, and stirring up such matters, making people gossip about her mother. It’s infuriating!
"Damn it!" Han Jing couldn’t help but curse softly.
An Chuxue curiously said, "What did you hear? Listening so intently? You can really hear it?"
Han Jing continued to rub her slightly itchy ears. With so many people talking, it was tiring for her to listen.
"Just some boring gossip, that’s all." Anyway, Han Jing feels that Han Si Que is not worth trusting.
Suddenly, Han Jing looked up at An Chuxue, "An’an, tonight I’ll take you to pay respects to my mother. Sneak a look and see if my mother has any ailments."
