But it was like a foul wind, blowing stronger and stronger. Eventually, even the old women out buying vegetables had heard a thing or two.
Jin Qianqian certainly wasn't going to sit back and wait for disaster. She already had a good idea who was behind the rumors.
She had thought they would target Gu Wenheng, who had been extra cautious these past few days. She never expected they would come after her instead.
"Madam, these people are despicable! How can they say such absurd things based on mere rumors?" Liu Chunmei said indignantly.
"Have new stories started making the rounds?" Jin Qianqian raised an eyebrow, looking at her with curiosity. 'To frame me, these people have really gone all out, even concocting a few short tales to go along with it.'
Something about breaking up a happy couple and separating childhood sweethearts.
Something about beating a servant girl just for exchanging flirtatious glances with Mr. Gu.
