"Sigh, child. I'll be honest with you. Your reputation is bad because someone deliberately spread the news that you fell into the water in the village and that you were behaving inappropriately. This Liu Shi is the one who spread the most rumors. Look. This is his retribution. He didn't control his mouth and spoke ill of others behind their backs. Xia Wan, you're such an obedient child. How could you do such a thing?"
The woman's face showed that she trusted Xia Wan.
Xia Wan's face revealed a hurt look. So, it was all Liu Shi's words.
In reality, she did not take the women's so-called goodwill and sympathy seriously at all. These gossipmongers were now talking about Xia Rui because of her incident, which meant her previous bad reputation had been washed clean. However, even if Xia Rui's incident had not happened, these gossipmongers would still be talking about her.
