Zhulan endured the embarrassment; she didn't even need to speak. The words spoken by the Zhou-Wang family were much harsher than anything she could have said. They went straight to accusing them of crimes, not only calling out the second daughter of the Wang family but also pinpointing Wang Ru. The Zhou-Wang family held high prestige and spoke from a position of authority, speaking on behalf of the entire village. The implication was that the entire village was involved. The words spoken tonight would seal the coffins for Wang Ru and the second daughter once they spread— it was just short of directly accusing them of not abiding by womanly virtue. Within a radius of miles, no one would dare to marry them, and even if someone did marry them, any divorce would be blamed on Wang Ru and the second daughter.
