Chapter 608: Chapter 608 Not Easily Let Go Chapter 608: Chapter 608 Not Easily Let Go Although it was Fan Wenxuan who spread the rumors, it was actually Mrs. Feng in the Gu Family village who disseminated it, making it known to everyone.
The young wife was cursed by the villagers for several days.
Having dealt with Fan Wenxuan, Gu Ya did not intend to let Mrs. Feng off lightly either. Looking towards the Magistrate, Gu Ya brought up Mrs. Feng’s involvement.
“Your honor, what about Mrs. Feng?” The Magistrate was a clever man. Gu Ya’s restrained mention was enough for him to grasp the implication. After hearing about Mrs. Feng, the Magistrate naturally understood what Gu Ya meant.
After sipping his tea, the Magistrate acknowledged that while this incident was not initiated by Mrs. Feng, she indeed spread the rumors. Baseless stories became the talk of the village because of her, and it was women like Mrs. Feng who spoiled the village’s atmosphere. Even if Mrs. Feng had not started the rumor, the Magistrate had already decided to discipline her as a warning to others.
Putting down his teacup, the Magistrate said, “Gu Ya, third son of the Gu Family, Mrs. Feng’s actions this time were malicious, causing your wife’s reputation to be slandered. Although she did not start it, Mrs. Feng cannot be absolved from responsibility.”
Su Yunjin had no intention of easily forgiving Mrs. Feng either. Since Gu Ya had already spoken up, Su Yunjin no longer brought up Mrs. Feng’s case. The Magistrate had said he would help clear Su Yunjin and the other’s names from the rumors in the afternoon. Early that morning, the Magistrate had arranged for most people from the Su Family village to be called over.
The remaining few who were busy with their own matters or not at home did not come. They heard that the Magistrate had called them to help clear Su Yunjin’s name from the rumors. Some people started saying, “I knew from the start that the third son’s wife wasn’t that kind of woman, now it’s clear she was indeed wronged.”
“Exactly, I also felt at that time that the third son’s wife was being slandered. But, when everyone said it was true, I believed it.”
“Now that the rumors about the third son’s wife have been clarified, it’s a good thing. I saw how the third son of the Gu Family was running around for days over his wife’s rumor. Such a man is truly rare.”
In fact, many women were somewhat envious of Su Yunjin, feeling that she had married a good man. To meet a man like Gu Ya was really her good fortune.
Not to mention anything else, just this rumor matter, if it were any other man, rather than helping clear his wife’s name, he might have instead believed the rumors and driven his wife out long ago.
While some were happy about the clearing of Su Yunjin’s rumors, of course, there were others who were very upset by it, especially Mrs. Feng, who heard that Su Yunjin had returned to the Su Family village to clarify the rumors.
Mrs. Feng was so angry that her face turned dark. Originally, Mrs. Feng was already unhappy, and now the Magistrate had even arranged for people to take her away, which made her even angrier.
“On what grounds? Why should they take me away? It wasn’t me who slandered Su Yunjin! I just heard it from someone else, why arrest me?”
Mrs. Feng made a fuss and protested, but the two men did not give her a second glance, “The Magistrate sent us to arrest you, we are just following orders.”
Despite her reluctance, Mrs. Feng was eventually taken away. At the old residence of the Gu Family, Mrs. Zhang had been so tormented by her daughter-in-law, Wan Ruyan, that she was practically spitting blood.
Exhausted in both body and mind, Mrs. Zhang now lay sick in bed for several days. In her eyes, marrying Wan Ruyan wasn’t like bringing home a daughter-in-law, but rather like inviting a debt-collecting ghost to demand repayments from her. Mrs. Zhang had no interest in watching the excitement.
However, Wan Ruyan was very interested in this fuss. Anything related to Su Yunjin certainly meant Gu Ya would be involved, and if she went now,
she would definitely see Gu Ya as well.
