When everyone is praising you for your glory, it is hard for you to imagine how it would feel if your glory suddenly collapsed one day.
Song Shu is in such a position now.
She had a verbal fight with Lin Yi during the call, and after she hung up and calmed down for a while, she felt a vague sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Soon reality confirmed her uneasiness.
Within just a few minutes after Song Shu recovered from the phone call, she received several call requests in succession, which popped up on her personal center interface.
Song Shu looked at the caller ID. One was her mother, one was the queen, and the other was Ye Jin and her other two life assistants. Song Shu answered the queen's call with infinite hope in her heart and called out eagerly, "Sister."
Unexpectedly, the queen did not come to comfort her or provide her with help, but scolded her: "Song Shu, you are the one who caused this trouble!"
Song Shu's heart suddenly sank, but she didn't know why the queen was so angry. "What's wrong with me?"
"The goodwill that the royal family has built up over the past two years has almost been lost to you. Go online and take a look at the current online discussions. You ask what's wrong? Now it's not just Lin Yi, I want to kill you too." The queen changed her gentle and ladylike style and spoke in a voice so loud that it almost hurt Song Shu's ears, and also let her know how furious the queen was at the moment.
Song Shu was confused and frightened, and her hands were suddenly frozen.
The Queen's call was hung up, but several other call requests continued to ring, and Song Shu had no time to pay attention. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she opened the webpage. The things that were originally blocked were still not removed, but the real-time hot spots of the Star Network were like a sharp sword that pierced Song Shu's heart directly, making her fall into hell.
Among the top five hot searches on Starnet, each one has her name, Song Shu, and each one shows signs of explosive popularity.
How come...
Song Shu couldn't believe it, but she randomly clicked on a trending search, and almost all of them were the screen recordings of Lin Yi's live broadcast. Song Shu's mind was empty, and she subconsciously clicked on one, and immediately heard her hysterical voice coming out: "You country bumpkin with impure blood and mixed constitution! I only regret that I didn't kill you directly at the beginning!"
All the netizens below were in a state of rage.
"What gave Song Shu the capital to be so arrogant? Depriving another person of their reproductive rights, destroying another person's life, or even taking someone's life has become such a trivial and insignificant thing in her mouth?"
"Is this mentality really unique in the empire? I think this is where we need to reflect. Have we given these upper-class nobles too much power?"
"Now when I think back on the whole thing, I feel so lucky. I'm lucky that Lin Yi persisted, that he dared to speak out and fight. Otherwise, he would have been drowned in the vast sea of people, and Song Shu would still be using her family background and appearance to hide her rotten black heart!"
There was a reason why the queen was angry with Song Shu.
Represented by Song Shu and Ye Jin, from this perspective, at this time, what is true and what is false in the eyes of the people of the empire are collectively questioned.
Song Shu's skillful and bad use of media tools in suppressing Lin Yi in the early stage triggered a wave of media credibility crisis. Once suspicion arises, it is like a seed that will continue to grow on its own when it encounters air. Everything that seemed reasonable in the past was just covered up under the appearance of peace.
There are too many things that we turn a blind eye to, and when conflicts finally erupt, they are often out of control.
Song Shu and the Queen were the representatives of the upper class ladies of the empire, and they were two figures who added a lot of color to the Song family. Their external image was also very perfect, with gentle personalities, broad hobbies, enthusiasm for charity, and pure hearts.
Many people regard them as the role models of omegas.
If the Queen had not been separated from Song Shu for some time, and had not done a lot of things to consolidate her image during this period, she would probably have been completely dragged into the water by Song Shu by now.
However, even so, the Queen and the royal family were not immune and still faced a considerable amount of doubts.
"I am now worried that the image of the queen has also been shattered... Then I will have almost no hope for the omegas of the empire."
"Although the queen, ah, but she and Song Shu were really close before, is she completely unaware of Song Shu's behavior? I think it's impossible, either she condoned or she covered up. And no matter whether it's connivance or covering up, which one is better than the other, in the final analysis, it's the same contempt and disdain for the common people."
Song Shu stared blankly at the virtual screen, and even the banging sounds on the door outside were ignored by her empty mind.
Wherever the screen's sad comment section reached, every sentence related to Song Shu was followed by all kinds of insults and curses. The undisguised resentment and malice in the words almost penetrated the screen and skinned Song Shu alive.
Song Shu's heartstrings were stretched to the extreme. She closed the page unbearably. However, before she had a chance to catch her breath, a reminder of a new email suddenly popped up on the virtual screen. This first letter seemed to be a spell that lifted the ban. It was followed by message alert sounds that were so concentrated that they almost formed a continuous sound. The letters that jumped out on the entire screen interface filled the entire screen.
Even though these emails were quickly collected into the inbox, the number of emails was still jumping up at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.
As if this wasn't enough, Song Shu's personal terminal suddenly beeped and sounded an alarm, and then her personal terminal suddenly lost the signal. After two seconds, the signal was restored, but her personal terminal seemed to be out of her control. Song Shu reached out to turn it off but failed. She could only watch the virtual screen magnified countless times in front of her, and then the entire screen suddenly turned blood red, and the surroundings were filled with low and distant, but it seemed like a ghost scream in her ear. Countless pairs of blinking eyes jumped out of the blood-red screen and stared at Song Shu, and then many human voices spoke in unison: "Why don't you die?!"
"Ah!" Song Shu's spirit finally collapsed. She took off her personal terminal, threw it heavily to the ground, turned around and ran out with a scream. She turned the doorknob several times before opening the door. Ye Jin, who was standing outside the door, was almost pushed down by Song Shu who suddenly rushed out. He staggered back a big step before he stopped.
Ye Jin grabbed Song Shu who was about to rush out, and seeing that her face was as white as paper, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When Song Shu saw Ye Jin, she finally found some support. She threw herself into Ye Jin's arms and burst into tears, sobbing for a long time without being able to utter a word.
Ye Jin was in a very upset mood at the moment.
He was already exhausted from running around and hitting a wall everywhere. The original Ye family had a much better life because of the marriage between Ye Jin and the Song family, and most of their business dealings relied on the help of the Song family. It can be said that without Ye Jin, there would be no business for the Ye family today.
But when Ye Jin returned home earlier, he was turned away. His father asked him to deal with things outside before coming back.
That's what it means to share the good times and not the bad times. Ye Jin was filled with anger, thinking that as long as he could survive this minor disaster, there would be a long time to settle the score in the future. However, he turned around and saw the overwhelming scolding on the Internet.
It's over. It's all over.
Ye Jin pulled Song Shu out of his arms, looked into her tearful eyes, and said expressionlessly, "Why are you crying? What do you have to cry about? If it weren't for you, would we be in this situation today?"
Song Shu originally wanted to seek some comfort from Ye Jin, but she didn't expect Ye Jin to speak so coldly. She even forgot about fear and panic, and stared blankly at her husband who made her feel very strange.
"How can you blame me for everything..." Song Shu asked in disbelief, her usual arrogance and domineering attitude gone, "Are you blaming me at this time?"
Ye Jin tightened his grip on Song Shu's wrist. His anger had reached its peak, but he looked very calm. He sneered and asked Song Shu, "Why don't you blame me? Wasn't it you in the video circulating online? Wasn't it you who was chasing Lin Yi? Wasn't it you who hit Lin Yi hard in the first place? Do you want me to bear this responsibility?"
Ye Jin's irresponsibility and his behavior of pushing all the responsibilities away were like a heavy stick hitting Song Shu on the head, and what hurt her even more was the regret and disgust in Ye Jin's eyes.
Song Shu's heart slowly cooled down at this point. She blinked her eyes, letting the tears that blurred her vision roll down. She ignored her aching wrist that was held by Ye Jin, "What else? What else is my problem? You can tell me everything. What have you worried about after being married to me for so many years? How have I ever let you down?"
Things have come to this point, and it is impossible to settle it peacefully, so there is no need to be a slave in front of Song Shu. Ye Jin let himself speak out everything in his heart.
"Do you think I'm happy with you? After we marry, will I be more like a wife or will you be more like a wife? Everything is decided by you, and I can only please you according to your mood. You don't even want to give birth to a child for me, saying that it will affect my health and figure. I've had enough. Why do you remove the glands of those people and destroy their fertility? Is it because of your twisted and perverted mentality? You don't want to give birth to a child for me, so you don't allow others to give birth to a child for me?"
