C18 Rumor Making

Juan'er took out a half-new handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her tears. "The Niu family is vicious with their evil intentions. They deliberately created rumors to ruin my reputation. After I marry my uncle, my family will look down on me as well."

"Sister Juan'er, don't be sad." However, her eyes were fixed on the handkerchief in Juan'er's hand, giving her a sense of familiarity. She thought back for a moment, then remembered that it was used by Madam Qin, who was only half a step older. How did it end up in Juan'er's hands?

Juan'er sobbed as she placed the handkerchief in her hand on the square on top of her knees. She said with an aggrieved tone, "If I didn't know better, I would have just died. But I have my own will. I absolutely can't follow the ox family's wishes. They want me to seek my innocence with my death."

"The Niu Family's thoughts are too deep. Maybe they know that Sister Xing'er is going to marry into the Zhu Residence, and she's going to be married off to the Zhu Residence. In the future, Brother Shucheng's future will be bright." Lin Xin'er seemed to be speaking unintentionally. After she finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked outside with a nervous expression, lowering her head as if she knew she had said something wrong.

Juan'er's eyes revealed a hint of laughter, but her expression remained as sorrowful as ever. She sobbed, "Little sister, what kind of family is Niu Mansion? They had two shops in the town, and they had a good long-term perspective. Naturally, they had seen Brother Shu Cheng's good fortune, so they had always come to beg the Lin Clan for their daughter to be shamelessly pasted on him. "Little sister, did you decide on the matter you mentioned earlier?"

"No, no." Lin Xin'er shook her head like a rattle, and said nervously, "No, no, Sister Juan'er, I was wrong about what happened to Big Sister Xing'er. Lin Xin'er shook her head like a rattle, and said nervously," No, no, Big Sister Juan'er, I was wrong about what happened to Big Sister Xing'er.

"Yo, look at you, my little sister. You're still treating big sister Juan'er as an outsider. Keep your heart in your stomach. I will never do anything behind your back. What you tell me, I will definitely not let anyone else know." "No wonder the Niu Family didn't agree to break off the engagement. So they knew that Xing'er was going to marry into the county, so they naturally couldn't bear to let her go." Juan'er said with a look of understanding.

Lin Xin'er let out a sigh of relief and said, "I knew that big sister Juan'er would be the best. She definitely wouldn't leak my secret." He then whispered, "Big Brother Shu Cheng has always been attached to big sister Juan'er, but uncle and aunt have taken a fancy to the Niu family's second young lady. I'm afraid that big sister will suffer some grievances if she marries into them."

"I know what you're saying. As long as it's Cheng who treats me well, I won't have to worry about any grievances. When they see me doing well in the future, they will definitely change their mind." Juan'er gritted her teeth and said.

Lin Xin'er shook her head slightly, lowered her head and took the handkerchief that was folded into a square on Jun'er's knee, then said in a low voice, "Big sister Juan'er, have you ever heard of people bullying people and riding horses?" He raised his head and looked deeply at Juan'er, then mumbled hesitantly, "Sister Juan'er is someone who knows her best. I've given Sister Juan'er a thorough explanation, and I really do agree with what I just said in our family. I hope Sister can do it."

She had always been worried about how she would deal with the Lin Family after marrying into them for the first time. Now that Xin Er had told her the truth about the Lin Family, she suddenly hugged Lin Xin'er gratefully and said: "My good little sister, only you can tell me that you've already spoken. Elder sister will remember your words."

Lin Xin'er let out a sigh of relief. Holding the handkerchief in her hand, she smiled and asked, "Who gave this to big sister?"

Juan'er took the handkerchief from her hands and hid it inside her sleeves with a bashful expression. She bashfully said, "Your second brother gave it to me. He's the one who usually uses it. Let me think about it all."

"Oh." Lin Xin'er deliberately stretched her voice to tease him.

Juan'er's face almost turned red. She raised her hands to punch Lin Xin'er's arms and said, "You little girl, you didn't learn anything but these bad things."

Lin Xin'er secretly laughed twice.

Hearing Lin Xin'er's teasing, Juan'er felt extremely happy in her heart. She had never been this happy before, and the things she thought about day and night were finally going to happen. She had finally managed to arrange a good marriage for herself.

Footsteps could be heard outside the window.

"Who is it?" Juan'er hurriedly walked to the door and asked in a low voice.

A hoarse voice replied, "Juan'er, I'm your Uncle and Aunt Wang. Open the door and let's talk."

Hearing this, Juan'er felt slightly nervous. She raised her head to look at Lin Xin'er, who was at the door, only to see her make a gesture with her hand and place it horizontally on her neck. Juan'er immediately understood what she meant. After mulling over it for a moment, her body trembled as she sobbed, "Uncle, you came to see me out of kindness, but I can't see you. I only wish to die cleanly so that I can have the face to face with my parents."

"Good child, what grievances have you suffered? Just tell your aunt and uncle and I will make the decision for you. Good child, open the door first. Let's meet up and talk." The gentle voice of the Qin family sounded from outside the room.

Juan'er looked at Lin Xin'er.

Lin Xin'er nodded her head and looked around the empty house, searching for a place to hide. Her eyes fell on the messy old blanket, and she crawled onto the bed and pushed it to the side of the inner wall.

Outside the door, née Qin's voice was still gentle as she said: "Good child, if you open the door and let us talk, you will only be courting death, how can you face your parents? Right now, your mother is in our Lin Family, if anything happens to you, she will immediately wipe her neck with a knife."

As she said this, Madam Qin's body trembled. When she snuck out of the house, she saw Juan'er sitting in the middle of the room with a knife in her hand. She was crying as if she wanted to wipe her neck and stain the Lin family's house with her blood.

Seeing that Lin Xin'er had hidden herself well, Juan'er slowly opened the door, revealing a haggard face and red and swollen eyes. She cried and said, "Uncle, I just want to die.

"Silly kid, your father is a big and thick-skinned man, and he doesn't listen carefully. There are a lot of girls called Jun'er, and I will spend more money to buy her as my concubine. Then, everything will be fine." She stood in front of Jun'er and did not let her into the house. She looked around and asked: "Where is Xin'er? Third Brother's wife said she was to accompany you, so why didn't you see her? "

"Little Sister Xin Er came over. I didn't open the door, so she probably left." Juan'er said sorrowfully. What née Qin had said just now had really stunned her. Hatred arose in her heart. Even if things had turned out like this, the Lin Clan still didn't want to marry her? He then asked, feeling wronged, "How did you get in the door? I've already closed the door tightly? "

"I was afraid that you would be too anxious, so I flipped the study over the wall and helped you open the gate from the inside." The Qin family said apologetically.

Juan'er's heart turned cold as she lifted her tear-stained face and looked into the courtyard. However, she didn't see a single person.

However, her tone was extremely gentle as she said, "Foolish child, how can I let others hear our conversation? I've already sent the study home and closed the courtyard door, so you just have to listen to what I have to say first and then pass these words on to your mother."

"Eldest Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it to my mother. Why are you making things difficult for me?" Juan'er cried in an extremely aggrieved manner. Her voice was intermittent as she slowly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, covering half of her face and exposing only a pair of swollen eyes.

The astute Madam Qin could tell at a glance that the handkerchief in Juan'er's hand was her old handkerchief. With a sneer in her heart, she said in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Good child, you've always been a good boy. I know you're feeling extremely resentful right now.

After the Qin family praised her, Juan'er's heart was filled with joy. Following her wish, she invited her in and gave way to the side. When née Qin walked into the room, she didn't see a single stool. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at the dirty wooden bed in disdain, and her steps paused in the middle of the room.

Juan'er, who was following behind née Qin, wanted to get closer to her. She said in a slightly fawning tone, "Uncle's mother should go to the bedside and take a rest. Since I'm alone in my room, I don't have a chair.

The Qin family did not lift up their legs. They only stood on the spot, looked at Juan'er, sighed and said, "Poor child, you have a good temper and you don't have any brothers. So, you fell into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives. "Speaking of which, it's all my family's fault. I'm sorry that you suffered too much after your marriage, but when the time comes to choose a lucky day, I'll recognize you as my goddaughter. When we get married in the future, I'll come out with even more dowry than your parents."

Juan'er, who was wiping her tears away with the handkerchief in her hand, took a step back in shock when she heard this. Resisting the impulse to raise her head and look at née Qin, she cried even more miserably.

née Qin inwardly sneered. Ever since she entered the room, the little demoness in front of her had been wiping her tears away with the handkerchief. She sized it up, thinking that she didn't know who the handkerchief was.

It was just some trash that she had wanted to throw away a long time ago. The little demoness in front of her was still a treasure after all. She would never let a poor and ugly woman be her daughter-in-law. The one who married Cheng could only be the second lady of the Niu family, which was the proper behavior of Cheng.

Lady Qin saw that Jun'er had been crying the entire time, and said: "Good child, you can't just keep crying. Since we can't find the one who started all these rumors, my aunt found a girl and used Juan'er's name to make trouble at my house, so no one would think that it was you anymore. The misunderstanding is resolved naturally, so go over quickly and persuade your mother not to follow his lead, and let him laugh at it."

"Eldest Uncle and Auntie, do you think that someone is trying to harm us?" Juan'er cried in grief.

née Qin revealed a cold smile, and the viciousness in her eyes flashed, and she said coldly: "Who else could it be? Isn't it just our third house? "She wanted Xin`er to marry into the capital city, so she forced Jiu Cheng's father to make things difficult for her. He gave her two hundred taels of silver and now that they have money, they are no longer willing to marry.
