Chapter 557 - 287 Counterattack_1
On the way, Qian Yixiu became increasingly angry. She had never imagined herself to be slandered in such a disgraceful way; it was complete defamation and a distortion of the truth.
Last time, she heard from Pan Yuanfeng that Auntie Liang said the elder members of the Liang Family, including Uncle Liang, all liked her, whereas Auntie Liang thought her crude and wanted her son to marry a lady of higher status. Yet today, those three maids were saying that it was she who fancied Uncle Liang—and even Huang Jinyu said so. She had no idea how far this rumor had spread.
Even though both members of the Liang Family had denied it, these people still firmly believed it to be true.
How did this rumor come about? Who wanted to frame her like this?
If it was Auntie Liang’s doing, she could forget about anything happening with Uncle Liang, and she would have to demand an explanation from him and his grandfather.
If it was someone else, why would they do this, and what was their purpose?
She had just arrived in Capital City and hadn’t offended anyone. Why were they trying to ruin her like this?
She was a soul from modern society with thick skin and a strong capacity for endurance. If she were a true local girl, who could stand such slander? Upon hearing such words, they would have banged their head to death.
No, she absolutely had to get to the bottom of this! But she couldn’t let Grandfather Sangui know, or it would kill him with anger. She only had to speak with Father Jiang and Old Master Pan and ask them to find a way to investigate.
Upon returning to the main courtyard, Qian Yixiu forcefully suppressed her anger and found Lady Fu and Lady Wu in the west wing, laughing and chatting with Lady Fu’s elder sister-in-law, Grandma Fu.
Seeing that Lady Wu looked well, it seemed she had been well protected by Lady Fu and hadn’t suffered any mistreatment. Qian Yixiu felt immense gratitude towards Lady Fu and Uncle Pan and quietly thanked Lady Fu, "Thank you, Aunt-in-law."
Lady Fu laughed, "Silly child, we’re relatives; of course, we should look out for each other."
