Mrs. Wang Wu frowned and looked at the two little girls for a long time, her eyes showing complicated emotions and pity. She really didn't know how to tell them about the malicious rumors in the capital.
It was Wang Yuerong who spoke first in a deep voice, "Aunt Wu, just tell me what happened. It must be something serious if it made you rush out to find us like this."
She didn't know whether it was a bad luck or she was really that unlucky. She had already fled to another village, but there was still so much water around.
Mrs. Wang Wu's face was a little pale. She had been running around all day and was already a little exhausted. She took Su Yao and Wang Yuerong inside and smiled bitterly, "It's spread all over the capital. The rumors are very bad. They say that your family is loose and there are no elders to watch over you, so you are lawless... This rumor spread to the house and made the old lady very angry. She fell ill that day. Come on, come back with me... We can't live here anymore."
If you continue to live like this, you might even be labeled as a den of prostitution.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang Wu felt even worse.
No one knows who spread this rumor, but now it has been blown up to be so convincing that even if the Wang family makes amends now and takes the children back, their reputation is ruined.
Wang Yuerong's reputation was already in a state of turmoil due to her two broken engagements, and this now makes the situation even worse.
As for Su Yao, he will definitely be affected by these things in the future.
She urged the servants to pack up.
Wang Yuerong's face was extremely embarrassed. She could tolerate a lot of dirty water, but she could not tolerate such dirty water at all.
She would rather others say that she can't get married than be slandered as a fickle girl.
What's more, she also invited Su Yao to live with her. To be honest, it was she who implicated Su Yao.
Her face turned pale, she grabbed Mrs. Wang Wu's hand, and asked with gritted teeth: "Aunt Wu, didn't the family find out who is spreading such slander behind your back? Is it the Xie family or the Xu family?!"
Mrs. Wang Wu saw that the always strong-willed Wang Yuerong had no color on her face, and she felt heartbroken. She held her hand and shook her head softly: "Rumors are just rumors. Your fifth uncle and several uncles have already investigated, but they haven't found out yet..."
In fact, even if the truth is found out, the loss has already been caused.
What the world generally remembers are rumors, not clarifications.
Moreover, the fact that these rumors could spread so widely shows that the people behind them put a lot of thought into it. They must have used those second-rate thugs in the market. Who would come forward in person
Mrs. Wang Wu was terrified. Seeing Su Yao standing by without saying a word, she looked at Su Yao with some regret: "Miss Su, I'm really sorry... It's all our family that has implicated you."
In fact, I knew it was unreliable to let two girls live in the villa alone. Even if Master Wang was there, he was a grown man after all, and he wouldn't pay so much attention.
The current situation has also involved the Su family.
Wang Yuerong pursed her lips.
Su Yao herself shook her head, and her rationality was somewhat unexpected. After thinking about it, she suddenly asked Wang Yuerong: "Where is Young Master Wang now?"
She suddenly asked about Master Wang. Wang Yuerong and Mrs. Wang Wu looked at each other, and both were a little unresponsive for a moment. It was only after Su Yao asked again that Wang Yuerong asked Hongqiao to go to the front to invite someone, and then asked her: "What's the matter? Do you have anything to ask my brother?"
"I do have some questions to ask." Su Yao said, and then looked at Mrs. Wang Wu: "Mrs. Wu, tell me the truth, it shouldn't be just this kind of ridiculous rumor, right?"
The statement that they were partying every night and had a loose social structure was too general. The rumor was not very targeted and would not seem very justified if it was spread out even to create momentum.
Generally speaking, when doing something so targeted and purposeful, the investment will be greater and the expected effect will be better.
Moreover, if it were just the rumors spread by Mrs. Wang Wu, they might sound scary, but in reality, they were not destructive enough - they were groundless and just hearsay. If someone with a good reputation really brought them up in the future, then the Wang and Su families' questioning of whether there was any real evidence would be enough to shut them up.
Well, this matter is not that simple.
Su Yao also never believed that people who would hurt others with rumors would leave room for others.
Besides, I’m afraid the other party’s intentions were even worse.
Mrs. Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, and was panicked as if she had been exposed. She glanced at Wang Yuerong with a flickering gaze, and forced a smile: "How could this be possible? It's just that the rumor is too ugly..."
Her reaction was too far-fetched. Even Wang Yuerong could see that something was wrong. She frowned and said, "Aunt Wu, it has come to this. What else can't you say?"
Only then did she realize something was wrong.
If it was just a rumor, why did Mrs. Wang Wu look so guilty and even asked them what they had done
This is not the right attitude for elders to treat their younger generations.
In other words, Mrs. Wang Wu herself did not have complete trust in them at first.
She was a little anxious: "Aunt Wu! Do you really believe that we have done such a thing?!"
Mrs. Wang Wu struggled again and again, and after a long while she stammered, "Then... then how did your things end up in the hands of outsiders?"
What
Wang Yuerong immediately grasped the key point and looked at Su You at each other, and both of them realized the seriousness of the matter.
Su Yao was the first to react: "What is it?"
"It is said that a handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers and a hairpin with a longevity character wrapped in gold and silver were brought to the restaurant for identification... I heard from the man himself that they were tokens of love given by a young lady from the villa in Wulipo, and he was going to take them to propose marriage..." Mrs. Wang Wu looked at the two girls with some anger: "Rumors are fine, but there is no real evidence. Are you really going to force someone to death with a few words? But... what's wrong with you?"
Isn’t the Wang family’s villa the only one in Wulipo
It was the longevity gold hairpin. Who didn't know that the Wang family had bought a whole set of it at Qianbao Pavilion some time ago? All the women in the family had it? In this comparison, everyone liked to hear about this kind of romantic story. Isn't it just right for Wang Yuerong and Su Yao
As soon as people asked around, they found out that there were really two young ladies living in the Wang family's villa, and there was no elder to look after them. What unpleasant things could they not say
If you lose something as personal as this, there's no way to explain it.
