Besides being the director of the Women's Federation, Wen Nuan is also the wife of the chief of staff, so when people see her, it's no different from seeing a ghost.

Someone quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "Director Wen, we just heard it from someone else."

"We don't know the specifics either."

Wen Nuan's face was so dark it could drip ink; it was obvious without even thinking that the news came from Liang Zhian.

It was either him or his wife; she couldn't think of a third person who would spread such a rumor besides them.

"You dare to gossip behind people's backs without knowing the specifics?"

"You two can't be proper military wives, you insist on being gossipy women!"

"And I was there that day, the situation was completely different from what you heard!"

“That Liang Zhian came to our house empty-handed to freeload a meal. He spoke with veiled sarcasm and showed no respect for the host family. He also didn’t take us guests seriously.”

“You say Comrade Xiao Sang was impolite to him. If I were her, I would have kicked him out that day.”

"He ruined a perfectly good thank-you dinner, making everyone lose their appetite. How can he deserve to be treated so kindly?"

Since Wen Nuan has said so, then that must be the case.

After all, who doesn't know that she is the most fair and impartial person who can't tolerate any wrongdoing?

"Speaking of which, who started these rumors?"

Someone immediately replied, "I heard it from Sister Wang."

Sister-in-law Wang quickly explained, "I heard it from Sister-in-law Deng."

So they went together to find Sister Deng, and got another name, which led them to Xie Linglong.

Xie Linglong was still a little dazed when she saw that her doorstep was full of people.

What's going on?

"Director Wen, is there something you need from me?" Xie Linglong asked nervously.

With her hands behind her back, Wen Nuan questioned, "Xie Linglong, did you spread those rumors?"

"That's what she said."

“She told me herself,” one of the sisters-in-law exclaimed.

Xie Linglong's face turned pale; she had been betrayed.

"Director Wen, what I said is not a rumor, it is the truth."

“You were there that day too, didn’t you ever think of speaking up for my husband, Lao Liang?” She suddenly felt more confident.

Wen Nuan glanced at her; it seemed she had been deceived by Liang Zhian.

"Xie Linglong, then I will tell you exactly what happened that day."

Wen Nuan recounted the events of that day in detail in front of everyone, saying, "I swear that everything I said is true, without any embellishment."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and verify with Political Commissar Feng and the others."

"Besides, I have no need to lie."

A thunderbolt seemed to strike Xie Linglong's mind, and she instinctively denied it, "That's not how it is."

"Director Wen, Comrade Sang's father once helped you, which is why you spoke up for her."

"Rumors can kill people, I hope you can tell everyone the truth."

A sharp male voice came from the front, "The truth is just as Director Wen said."

“I was there that day too. When your man stormed off, I tried to stop him, but I never expected him to do so many dirty tricks behind my back.”

The person speaking was Wu Xiufen's husband, Political Commissar Feng.

Wu Xiufen and Sang Feiyu were also following behind him.

Xie Linglong looked bewildered and somewhat dazed. Who was telling the truth and who was lying?
