Are we acting? Let's see who acts more convincingly.
Seeing Yun Ya's sincere attitude, those gossiping ladies fell silent. In fact, thinking it over, Ji Yunya was clearly the victim. If it hadn't been for Yan He slandering Ji Yunya, none of this would have happened. So all this is just Yan He asking for trouble.
Moreover, Ji Yunya somewhat impressed them, handling the situation head-on rather than running away, truly showing the essence of her character. Compare this with Yan He's previous actions, and it's a heartbreaking contrast.
Ah Ci clenched his fists, smiled, and said, "Miss Ji, you shouldn't blame yourself. It was never your fault, just some people spreading rumors. You don't know the impact of such gossip; it can turn white into black. I was just worried it might affect you. If any blame comes from Third Aunt, both my aunt and I will stand up for you to prove your innocence."
How generous, but I don't need it.
Yun Ya smiled faintly, "Thank you, then."
