Chang Shu looked at Jiang Ling leaning on her, her expression froze for a moment, and she tried hard to calm herself, fearing that an expression of disgust would show.

"Miss Jiang, we also..." Not very familiar with each other, right?

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Ling started to complain to her.

"Sister Chang, this rumor is really harmful. Last time you told me about the rumor circulating in the capital, I didn't pay much attention to it. But now it's spread even more and more, and it's getting more and more outrageous."

Jiang Ling frowned, a look of helplessness and distress on her face. She took her arm and shook it, saying in a soft voice, "Last time, sister said that if there were any rumors, she would help me clarify them. Now someone has misunderstood me. Please speak a fair word for me and let these rumors go away."

The people around followed Jiang Ling's words and focused all their attention on Chang Shu.

Chang Shu smiled sweetly, but she didn't know that she had already cursed Jiang Ling thousands of times in her heart.

She blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent: "I said it was good last time, but now you..."

Chang Shu turned her head to look at the people around her and whispered, "What is your relationship with that man? Why are you sleeping outside together?"

She spoke quietly, so quietly that everyone could hear her.

Jiang Ling sneered inwardly, with a sad look on his face.

"Sister Chang, don't you believe me? Those are all rumors. When did I ever sleep outside with a man?"

She just refuses to admit it, so what?

There was no surveillance now, and it was a stormy day, so she didn't believe that anyone had seen her and Wanran outside.

Jiang Ling lowered her eyes, slowly letting go of the hand that held her, and took two steps back, choking with sobs, "Sister, you're plotting against me just like them. It seems like what you said last time doesn't count anymore."

Don't forget, she is a refreshing little green tea.

She shook her head, her watery eyes looking at her, as if she had done something to let her down and make her sad.

"Forget it. I'll just assume I was mistaken. I thought my sister was gentle and sensible, and I even dreamed of having sex with her."

In fact, she really wanted to add "It was a wrong choice after all", but she felt that was a bit exaggerated.

When Chang Shu saw her like this, she clenched her hands in anger.

How come Jiang Ling is such a good actor!

She clearly wasn't familiar with her! When she made such a fuss, others who didn't know the truth would think she had done something wrong to her.

"What are you talking about, sister?"

She took a step forward, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she also looked sad. "When have I ever let my sister down? I just want to know the truth, so I can clarify a few things for you."

Don't try to change the subject.

Chang Shu looked concerned for her, holding her hand and giving her earnest advice.

"Rumors are spreading everywhere now. You need to tell the truth to get rid of them. Are you sure you didn't leave the city that day?"

Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Ling.

How could she not panic when faced with such an insulting thing? She didn't believe that Jiang Ling wouldn't reveal her flaws.

As a result, Jiang Ling looked at her without any stage fright. Her big eyes were clear and innocent, with tears in her eyes.

"I never left the city. It rained so heavily that day that Ling'er didn't even leave the house."

Chang Shu was speechless, her expression almost unable to hold back.

I gritted my teeth in my heart and wished I could tear her mouth apart.

This Jiang Ling is a liar who keeps making up stories all the time and he is not afraid of being struck by lightning.

If she hadn't sent someone to watch over me that day, I would have really been fooled by her.

She gritted her teeth secretly and asked doubtfully, "I heard that someone saw you leaving the city that day. What's going on?"

Jiang Ling frowned and broke free from her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sister, if you don't believe me, that's fine. Ling'er is upright and has nothing to fear. I've said it many times before. I didn't leave the city that day."

Nian Yun, who was following behind Chang Shu, couldn't help but take two steps forward. "How did this servant hear that someone saw the Jiang family's carriage leaving the city? Could this also be a rumor?"

Jiang Ling sighed helplessly, looked at the people around her and asked, "Who would go out to meet a man in public and drive their own carriage? Wouldn't that tell everyone in the world that she's going out to meet a man?"

She really didn't ride in the Jiang family's carriage that day. She was not stupid, but the servant driving the carriage was indeed a good one from the Jiang family.

Jiang Ling squinted his eyes and looked at Chang Shu. It seemed that she really paid special attention to him. Even the servant recognized her.

The people watching nearby thought what she said made sense and nodded in agreement.

After hearing all this, Cheng An couldn't stand it any longer. "Miss Chang, I see that you are still throwing dirty water on Ling'er in your words and deeds. Forget it, we won't get involved with you anymore."

"Rumors stop at the wise. If you are determined not to believe it, then just believe what others say and think that Ling'er took her own carriage to Yunwu Peak, where the road is difficult to travel, for a secret meeting." Wu Wanying also said.

Jiang Ling was too lazy to say anything. She picked up her handkerchief and wiped away the tears that had not fallen. She looked so petite and pitiful.

"If anyone still doesn't believe it, feel free to check it out."

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, "If anyone else talks nonsense in front of me, don't blame me for bullying them and tearing their mouths apart."

After saying these harsh words, she left with Cheng An and Wu Wanying, without looking at Chang Shu who had an unhappy expression, nor caring about Xiao Qing who was hiding in the crowd out of fear.

She had to go do another thing now.

After being disturbed by Chang Shu, Zhou Jing'an had to check whether these rumors were true.

With Zhou Jing'an's means and abilities, whether out of jealousy or other speculations, he would investigate Wanran's identity.
