Aunt Fang was just speaking enthusiastically, but upon seeing Gu Zi emerge, she smiled coyly, portraying an image of both tender compliance and an aversion to confrontation.

“Why do you city folks speak so harshly? When did I spread rumors about your family? I don’t tell lies.”

Her shifty eyes were watchful of every movement around her, as if prepared at any moment to defame or incite anyone.

She looked as if she was ready to slander or incite anyone at any time.

She already had an appearance that liked to stir up trouble. How could she hope to feign a rational demeanor?

Observing her performance, Gu Zit s lips curled with a disdainful smile. Her acting skills were truly poor.

“What ‘city people’ or ‘country folk’? Which city dweller, when tracing back a generation or two, isn’t from the countryside?”

Gu Zits words initially surprised the surrounding women, but they soon echoed their agreement. Indeed, weren’t city dwellers originally from rural areas too? Unexpectedly, Gu Zi wasn’t as aloof as other city visitors usually were. She didn’t consider herself superior.

Nonetheless, they still felt Gu Zi had gone too far; she shouldn’t have prevented her younger sister-in-law from going home no matter what.

But people are like this; they say anything behind your back, but in person, they have many reservations.

Gu Zi was Su Shen’s woman. Several villages relied on Su Shen to lead a good life. No one dared to directly accuse Gu Zi of being malicious.

Someone stepped forward to mediate, trying to please Gu Zi, “After all, Su Jing is Su Shen’s real sister. Aunt Fang might have misunderstood. She speaks her mind and is straightforward. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“That’s right. That’s how it is in our village. Say what you need to say, and once it’s spoken, everyone forgets about it.”

“Indeed, this wasn’t a big deal to begin with. Let’s just disperse for now.” Seeing everyone speak up for her, Aunt Fang felt even more at ease.

Understanding the importance of clarification, Gu Zi had the chance to address it in person. Even if others didn’t understand, she’d feel much more relieved by speaking the truth. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
