Chen Qiuyu deliberately paused halfway through her sentence.
Yang Banmei's face froze, displaying a touch of panic.
Chen Qiuyu watched her panicked expression with enjoyment, slowly savoring it until she had her fill, then she leisurely said, "Is there anyone in a more miserable state than I am now? People always sympathize with the underdog. Tell me, if the story changed from my own doing to 'justifiably excusable,' wouldn't at least more than half of the people change their tune and start sympathizing with me?"
The color drained from Yang Banmei's face.
The people in the village were unilaterally sympathetic to her family precisely because Chen Qiuyu's actions had gone far beyond any moral boundary, right? So when they humiliated her like this, aside from a small number of people who felt they were too harsh, most would say Chen Qiuyu had brought it upon herself.
