Chapter 1174 - 083 Fighting (second update)
As several young ladies, sharp-eyed, noticed the commotion, they all gathered around to watch the unfolding scene.
Once they understood what had happened, they unexpectedly all spoke in favor of Cheng Yuexiu’s side, and no one believed that they were wrongly accused. Some even whispered, "People from the countryside are short-sighted, unable to even part with a single hairpin," which made Lin Yuan laugh in anger. Short-sighted? Not to mention herself, even Xiao Linshuang, her private savings were surely much more than most of those present.
Tian Xuan had also noticed the incident, and after quickly asking Xiao He, she stood in front of Xiao Linshuang and Lin Wei, addressing Miss Han, "Sister Huijuan, I think there must be some misunderstanding, how could the young ladies of the Lin family possibly pick something up and not return it? I have seen that hairpin of yours; it is indeed very valuable, but, but Sister Yuan and the others don’t lack silver. If you visit the Lin Mansion, you would understand what I mean..."
Tian Xuan, being young and having never encountered such a situation, was immediately flustered, solely focused on defending Lin Yuan and the others, yet her efforts seemed somewhat feeble.
Before she could finish, Cheng Yuexiu interrupted her with a smile, "Miss Tian, your heart is kind, and there may be some things and people you do not understand fully, but remember one thing: one can never judge a person’s heart by their face."
By the end of her statement, Cheng Yuexiu’s gaze had turned to Lin Yuan, clearly directing her words at her.
Tian Xuan, distressed, repeatedly said, "No, Sister Yuan and the others are not like that."
However, no matter how much Tian Xuan tried to defend Lin Yuan and the others, nobody would believe her.
