“Yes, Su Wenyue, just because you’re a young rich lady doesn’t mean you can behave recklessly. You’ve not only framed and bullied my cousin, but you’ve also caused me to lose my job and be disgracefully kicked out of the Su Family. That was all your doing, wasn’t it? How cruel you are! Of course, a rich lady like you will never understand the hardships of us poor people. You have no idea how miserably you’ve harmed me with your schemes!” Wang Fangru harbored resentment towards the Su Family, and upon seeing Su Wenyue, she couldn’t help but vent all her bitterness.

“Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought the Han Family’s new daughter-in-law would be such a formidable person? That’s just too ruthless.”

“Yes, isn’t that just too malicious? These daughters of rich families have no idea of the sufferings of the world and have no sense of proportion when they act, only caring about their own pleasure, completely disregarding the life and death of others.

These Wang cousins, whether Wang Qianru or Wang Fangru, definitely had their schemes. They both aimed to tarnish Su Wenyue’s reputation, manipulating everyone’s sympathy to achieve their own ends.

Watching the Wang family reverse right and wrong to such a shameless extent was too much for Su Wenyue. Naturally, she wouldn’t let them slander her and tarnish the reputation of herself and the Han Family. Stepping out from behind Han Yu, she confronted Wang Fangru, “Oh? You sisters make it sound quite tragic. If you didn’t tell me, I would have never known I was so malicious. You cousins keep saying I’ve framed and bullied you—why not tell everyone here exactly how I’ve done that? It would be better for everyone to know, otherwise, I’ll be bearing this undeserved evil reputation!”

“Don’t you know what you have done? I’d been working well in the Su Family for years, always following the rules and being devoted to my duties, never doing anything to wrong the Su Family. Yet, they dismissed me without any good reason, wasn’t it all because of you, Su Wenyue? What else do you have to say about that?”

“You’re sidestepping the issue and still haven’t said how I specifically framed you. It seems these are all unfounded accusations and imaginations you’ve pinned on me without any evidence, so you’re trying to make a big fuss about it. As for your so-called rule-following and devotion, if you were truly like that, the Su Family wouldn’t have kicked you out. Our family has always been fair in dealing with matters. If you keep insisting on defaming my reputation, I don’t mind going to the Su Family and asking someone to verify the facts. We’ll see who is wrong and who is right, and everyone can get to the bottom of it. Just relying on your word is far from persuasive.”

Upon hearing Su Wenyue mention bringing someone from the Su Family to verify the facts, Wang Fangru felt guilty and frightened. However, she was not willing to show weakness to Su Wenyue by backing down now.

“What difference does bringing someone for verification make? You’re a daughter of the Su Family, and the people from the Su Family will certainly take your side because of your status. What’s so impressive about that!”

“So you’re afraid then? It seems to me you’re feeling guilty about having done something against your conscience and are afraid of being exposed in front of everybody. As for so-called reliance on status, our Su Family has always been just. We can speak plainly in front of all the villagers. Let’s talk based on evidence, shall we? Do you dare to confront me with the truth?”
