Chapter 179 179. Talking by the River
Zhong Zhouyi admired his painting: "What did you say?"

The maid said angrily: "They said that you and Shen Ruoxi were alone in the mountains, so you must have done something shameful, and what you said was very ugly."

Zhong Zhouyi's face darkened, he was silent for a moment, and walked to the courtyard where Mrs. Zhong lived: "Grandma."

Mrs. Zhong sat on the rocking chair, closed her eyes to rest, and opened her eyes when she heard the words: "Why are you here?"

"I heard some bad words." Zhong Zhouyi hesitated to speak, "Grandma, help me find a way."

Mrs. Zhong asked Zhong Zhouyi to sit down, and then looked at him lovingly: "Say it."

Zhong Zhouyi pursed his lips, his face was very ugly: "People in the village speak ill of me and Ruoxi, the maid said, they speak very badly, grandma, they say I can, but I don't want them to speak ill of Ruoxi."

Mrs. Zhong patted Zhong Zhouyi's arm: "Zhou Yi, for now, you can only quell the rumors by marrying Ruoxi, otherwise these words will accompany Ruoxi for the rest of her life."

Zhong Zhouyi opened his mouth: "Grandma, I..."

Mrs. Zhong said earnestly: "Zhou Yi, Ruoxi is the best girl in the village. You married her, and you earned it. Didn't Ruoxi say that your body hasn't deteriorated much? Then it doesn't matter, put Is Ruoxi married?"

Zhong Zhouyi hesitated, but his guard loosened a bit: "I..."

Mrs. Zhong added another fire, she could see that her grandson had feelings for Ruoxi: "Zhou Yi, Ruoxi has ruined her reputation by you, if you don't marry, she will end up badly."

"Grandma, I understand." Zhong Zhouyi was silent for a moment, "Grandma, if Ruoxi comes back later this afternoon, I will ask her. If she is willing, I, I will marry her."

Mrs. Zhong smiled happily: "Okay, grandma is waiting for your good news."

Zhong Zhouyi went back to his room, thinking about how to tell Shen Ruoxi about it.

……

The sun is setting and the scenery is beautiful.

Shen Ruohan took the medicine box from Shen Suhong's hand, with an unnatural expression on her face: "Second Sister, are you back?"

Shen Ruoxi felt that Shen Ruohan was abnormal: "What's the matter?"

Shen Ruohan yelled, "I'll put the medicine box for you." Before she could finish speaking, she went to the room.

Shen Suhong scratched her hair: "There's something wrong with Ruohan!"

Shen Ruoxi looked at Shen Suhong, even Suhong found that something was wrong with Ruohan, then something was really wrong: "We'll ask her later."

Shen Ruohan came out of the room slowly, and saw the two standing in the yard looking at her, their expressions became even more unnatural: "Second Sister, Suhong, don't you need to be busy today?"

Shen Ruoxi was about to say something, but Shen Ruohao came back from the outside angrily: "These people are really sick, they can't even eat enough for their own families, and they still have the energy to meddle in other people's business!"

Shen Ruoxi turned her head to look at Shen Ruohao: "Who are you scolding?"

Shen Ruohao didn't notice that Shen Ruoxi had already returned home, so he quickly shut up: "No, I didn't scold, I just sighed."

Shen Ruoxi looked at Shen Ruohan, then at Shen Ruohao: "I'll give you a chance to confess and be lenient, or I'll be angry?"

Shen Ruohan and Shen Ruohao winked and complained to each other for a while, then Shen Ruohao couldn't take it anymore, and said, "Second Sister, people in the village are talking bad things about you and Zhong Zhouyi, it's very unpleasant, I even got into a fight with them today."

Shen Ruoxi understood it as soon as she heard it, and she still couldn't avoid malicious slander: "Rumors only stop at the wise, so don't take it to heart."

The most difficult thing to contain are rumors, Shen Ruoxi has seen too many.

Shen Ruohao got on his hips angrily: "I just can't see them talking nonsense. Second sister, why do you say they are like this? It's obviously nothing. You say it with nose and eyes, as if you've seen it with your own eyes."

Shen Ruoxi didn't expect her siblings to be so concerned about her affairs, so she couldn't help but smile: "No matter how angry you are, it won't change anything, well, relax, it will be fine after a while."

Shen Ruohao closed his eyes: "No, I have to find a way, so I can't drain this dirty water."

Shen Ruoxi actually doesn't care, she is not from this place, so she doesn't pay much attention to the issue of reputation: "Don't fight with others, or the word will be even worse."

Shen Ruohan said with a bitter face, "Second Sister, think of a way to stop this rumor."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Ruohan, the rumors have already spread to everyone, and there is no point in stopping them."

Shen Ruohan lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a handsome figure walked in, with a clear and pleasant voice: "Ruoxi."

Several people looked towards the door together.

Shen Ruoxi asked: "What's the matter with you?" Probably because of rumors, let's listen to what he said.

Zhong Zhouyi looked around and said apologetically, "Can we talk alone?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, where can we talk?"

Zhong Zhouyi thought for a while: "Let's go to the river."

Shen Ruoxi was silent for a moment: "Let's go." Things couldn't get worse than this.

The two walked side by side to the river. Along the way, there were too many people watching them, as if the two really had an affair.

When she came to the river, Shen Ruoxi squatted by the river and washed her hands, then played in the water: "Fishing here is not bad."

Zhong Zhouyi especially likes Shen Ruoxi's character, as if she has never lost her temper: "Ruoxi, you are so optimistic, you have such a good personality."

Shen Ruoxi joked, "I'm a doctor. If I have a bad personality, I'd at least quarrel with my guests three times a day."

Zhong Zhouyi smiled: "You won't. You are a good doctor. Not only are you good at medicine, but you also have a good temper. Meeting you is really a blessing for their patients."

Shen Ruoxi said: "That's too serious, I'm just here to make money."

Zhong Zhouyi is especially good at talking: "Everyone has to eat. It is the most natural thing to make money by ability. There is nothing wrong with it."

Shen Ruoxi turned her head and glanced at Zhong Zhouyi: "I'm embarrassed by what you said."

Zhong Zhouyi's tone was sincere: "These are all from my heart."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Zhou Yi, what do you want from me, why don't you just tell me directly, or you won't be able to tell even when it's dark."

Zhong Zhouyi nodded: "Have you heard the rumors in the village?"

Shen Ruoxi poured water on it, and the cold feeling of her palms made her feel very comfortable: "I heard that, when I came back just now, Ruohan and Ruohao told me about it."

"I, I..." Zhong Zhouyi hesitated, his fingers tightened, and he couldn't help being very nervous.

"Just say what you want, we are so familiar, it doesn't matter." Shen Ruoxi didn't care about the rumors, after all, she had never done anything.

Zhong Zhouyi looked down at Shen Ruoxi: "We, shall we get married?"

Shen Ruoxi froze there: Isn't it a conversation?How did it become a marriage proposal?No, this proposal is too simple, it's not true!
Zhong Zhouyi withdrew his gaze, blushing involuntarily: "Ruoxi, the rumors are too nasty, and we can calm down these words only when we get married."
