Under such circumstances, Yuan Lingyin and the second daughter of the Dong family should be fine.
However, early the next morning, a person died of drunkenness outside the city.
When the coroner performed an autopsy, he found a hairpin and a handkerchief in his hand. The handkerchief was not something that an ordinary family could afford. It was unknown who had spread the word that this thing belonged to the Yuan family's daughter.
Some people said that the hairpin that the Yuan family's young lady had worn on her head when she went out yesterday was exactly the same as the hairpin found on the corpse!
Others also said that the Yuan family's young lady had cried bitterly when she went home yesterday. Perhaps her innocence was really ruined…
The rumors were spread so widely that the two families who had been relieved were now helpless to do anything about it.
