Humph, these days, it’s true that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. We haven’t even reached the internet age yet, so the speed of transmission is too fast, isn’t it?

She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger surging in her heart, but she still maintained a calm smile on her face, worthy of being someone who had seen a lot of storms: "Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. We are innocent and upright, so why should we be afraid of rumors?"

Seeing Shen Qiqi's stubborn attitude, Brother Lu became even more furious: "You...you...you really brought shame to our Lu family!"

After saying that, Brother Lu flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind only the anger that filled the air and the resentment and anger that gradually rose in Shen Qiqi's heart.

If I don't show my power, do you really think I'm easy to bully?

At this time, Lu Qing walked in front of Shen Qiqi and held her hand tightly. The warmth of her palm still made people feel at ease.

“Qiqi, we…” Before Lu Qing could finish his words, Shen Qiqi suddenly turned her head and looked outside the door.

Outside the door, a noisy sound came...

Outside the door, gossipy Wu was describing something vividly to a group of aunts and grandmas, occasionally adding exaggerated expressions and movements, like a stand-up comedian possessed by a drama spirit.

The group of aunties and grandmas listened with great interest, occasionally letting out a few exclamations, just like badger birds that had eaten too much melon.

Shen Qiqi sneered, it seemed that the real owner had appeared.

She took Lu Qing's hand and walked out with big strides.

"Oh, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of our Lu family? How come you are willing to come out?" The gossipy voice of Wu Changfu was like a sharp needle, piercing the already tense atmosphere.

Shen Qiqi crossed her arms and looked at her with a half-smile: "Why, Sister Wu, what are you talking about?"

Gossip Girl Wu rolled her eyes and curled her lips: "What am I saying? You know it in your heart! Now the whole village knows it, you..."

"Me what?" Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of provocation in her tone.

"You... humph, you know what you have done!" Wu Changyan was choked by Shen Qiqi's fearless look, and she couldn't make any sense for a long time.

Shen Qiqi looked around. The villagers who were originally whispering had now quieted down, their eyes all fixed on her, as if they were watching a good show.

She took a deep breath and said loudly, "My fellow villagers, I know there have been some rumors about me in the village recently. What I want to say is that the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. I, Shen Qiqi, am upright and have nothing to fear from rumors!"

"That sounds nice! Who knows if it's true?" Aunt Zhang muttered sarcastically.

Shen Qiqi ignored her and turned to look at Village Chief Sun: "Village Chief, you have heard it too. Rumors are spreading everywhere and have seriously affected my life and work. I hope you can come forward, find out the truth, and give me justice!"

Village Chief Sun looked embarrassed: "Qiqi, you know, I have too many things on my hands right now, this..."

"Village chief, if you are really busy, I can investigate on my own." Shen Qiqi said in a firm tone, with an unquestionable light flashing in her eyes.

Back home, Lu Qing hugged Shen Qiqi into his arms distressedly and gently stroked her hair: "Qiqi, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Qiqi snuggled in his arms, feeling the warmth coming from him, and a warm current surged in her heart.

"Lu Qing," Shen Qiqi raised her head, a cunning glint in her eyes, "Do you think we should do something big?"

Shen Qiqi is not the kind of soft persimmon that would swallow her anger even if it meant breaking her teeth.

I am a new-age woman. If I have a grudge, I will take revenge on the spot and never wait until the next day!

she

She first observed secretly and found that the rumors were spreading in the village at an extremely fast speed like a virus.

Those aunties and grandmas are like walking loudspeakers, spreading rumors wherever they go, as if they are afraid that others will not know.

Shen Qiqi sneered, this efficiency is comparable to "speed of light transmission"!

However, she did not go directly to the "gossip woman" Aunt Wu, but turned her target to the villagers who believed it.

She visited every household like a field investigator, holding a "little notebook" in her hand, ready to eat all the "melons" upside down.

When the villagers saw Shen Qiqi actually coming to their door, they were all stunned, as if they had seen an alien. They had wanted to hide, but now they couldn't hide even if they wanted to.

Shen Qiqi didn't care what they thought and went straight to the point: "Auntie, I want to ask, where did those rumors you heard about me come from?"

The ladies looked at each other, stammering and unable to explain for a long time.

Shen Qiqi was not in a hurry and just looked at them with a smile, like a fisherman waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Finally, under Shen Qiqi's "gentle offensive", some people began to give in.

"I... I heard it from Aunt Zhang at the entrance of the village." An aunt avoided his gaze and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"I think I heard Aunt Li say that at the door of Li's house." Another aunt also said.

Shen Qiqi listened and took notes, her heart blossoming with joy, just like a player who plays a game and levels up by killing monsters, with his experience points rising rapidly.

Here comes the clue!

She found that these rumors were like an "echo drum", which were passed through layers and finally pointed to a few people.

She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth, and her heart was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

It feels like playing an escape room game. Once you find the key clue, you can solve the puzzle immediately.
