On the way, Qian Yixiu became increasingly angry. She had never imagined herself to be slandered in such a disgraceful way; it was complete defamation and a distortion of the truth.
Last time, she heard from Pan Yuanfeng that Auntie Liang said the elder members of the Liang Family, including Uncle Liang, all liked her, whereas Auntie Liang thought her crude and wanted her son to marry a lady of higher status.
