Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Reputation Ruined_l

She was exhausted from the series of events that had happened in the past few days.

“Rumours are circulating that the second miss had an undercover affair with a man,” Maid Cuiping chimed in.

“Who told you this?” Madam Yun asked.

“Just overheard some people from our residence who went out to buy medicine,” Maid Cuiping answered.

“Didn’t I order that no one from our house was allowed to spread rumours about today’s events?” madam Yun angrily said.

“I’m not sure myself,” Maid Cuiping cautiously answered.

“And how’s the rumour being spread outside?”

“Generally, they say the second miss is imprudent, meeting men daily in the embroidery shop on her way home, spending about an hour inside before leaving. What happened between man and woman alone in a room for that long, no one knows.”

Hearing this, Madam Yun was overwhelmed with a severe headache. She’d planned to keep the incident under wraps and guide her second daughter more thoroughly in the future so the situation could be turned around.

But now, even if the second daughter wanted to change her behaviour, her reputation has been tarnished.

Moreover, this might also impact the marriage prospects of the eldest daughter.

The eldest daughter currently has a stellar reputation in Taizhou Prefecture, and even without the support of the Xu Family, many well-to-do households are still eager to be related to them.

If it is affirmed that the second daughter has been meeting someone in private, the eldest daughters’ chances of marrying into a distinguished family would become a mere daydream, as no respectable household would be willing to marry a girl from a family linked with such a scandal!

Madam Yun only just thought about these things and she felt dizzy, everything seemed black in front of her.

“Madam, please don’t worry,” Maid Cuiping immediately rushed to support Madam Yun.

“What a disaster I’ve brought upon us to have made things so complicated!”

“Madam, please calm down. So far, these are just rumours going around outside, without any solid evidence.”

“Even if they are just rumours, it’s enough. Who would dare to marry a girl from the Wei family when these kind of rumours are circling?”

“Madam, all you can do now is to look on the bright side. It is the second miss who has brought this upon herself. As for the eldest miss, she’s just being implicated inadvertently,” Maid Cuiping consoled Madam Yun.

“I am not oblivious to the fact that I’m helpless at this stage. I just feel heartbroken! Originally, I was worried about Ruoruo, but now I find that I have been carelessly trusting Wanwan, who is doing all these foolish things!”

“I don’t know where I went wrong. Although not extravagantly rich, she has always had everything she needed in our Wei family. I’ve had her educated from a young age, but in the end, she seems to have learnt less than Ruoruo, who has been living in the countryside with the He family for over ten years.” “Could it be that because the blood flowing in her veins is from the shameless He family, and no matter how much education I provide, it can’t offset the traits she inherited?”

Madam Yun poured out her inner wanders and helplessness in front of Maid Cuiping.

Maid Cuiping didn’t know how to console her and merely suggested, “Madam, you’re tired. Let me help you back to your room to rest.”

Madam Yun lethargically nodded her head and leaned on Cuiping to return to Cangyun Garden.

Wei Qingwan had been unconscious for two days and two nights. She woke up again at noon on the third day.

Upon moving slightly, a piercing pain distorted her face.

“Miss, you’re awake?” Nurse Li hurriedly moved forward to stop Wei Qingwan from moving. “Miss, don’t move around. Your wound hasn’t healed yet. If you tear it, it’s going to be troublesome.”

“My back, how’s my back? Mommy Li, bring a mirror over. I want to see the condition of my back.”

Lying in bed, Wei Qingwan could only feel a burning pain in her back. The pain made her realize that the wound on her back was indeed severe.
