Mo Qinghe snorted, "Who knows! When you're scheming against others, you forget that you're also easily caught up in rumors!"

Well!

They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!

Did Liu Jingqiu not know that she was also one of those sent here?

If two people with similar backgrounds get into trouble, how can the other escape unscathed?

Tsk! They only cared about their own pleasure when spreading rumors!

Su Nanxi just wanted to laugh. He brought this on himself; she didn't even need to lift a finger.

Liu Jingqiu must be even more upset right now, with nowhere to cry, she's really going to suffer!

Let's ignore this one; there's still one we haven't settled accounts with!

I didn't punish Qiu Huiling last night, letting her have a happy and comfortable night, which is very kind of me.

The rumors outside did not stop; instead, they became more and more outrageous, spreading in greater detail and with more and more evidence, as if it had really happened.

Su Nanxi almost believed it herself!

Wow! Qiu Huiling is truly knowledgeable; she's quite capable as a director, she's really excellent!

How could she, a modern person who watches countless dramas, possibly bear this!

She couldn't come up with such a good joke, able to make all the points work out!

With that kind of brains and cunning, she's in the wrong place; she should be in palace intrigue!

Trying to scheme in a farmer's house is such a waste of talent!

Su Nanxi took a sip of hot water and said calmly, "Let her have her moment! She won't have many opportunities to showcase her talents after this!"

Mo Qinghe affectionately patted Su Nanxi's head, "Okay! I'll listen to my wife!"

The four members of the Mo family who made breakfast returned very early. They had sold out, but instead of being happy, they were furious and their faces were full of anger.

When Old Mrs. Mo returned, she was also full of worry, and the entire Mo family was shrouded in gloom.

Mo Qinghe knew why; they must have heard rumors circulating outside.

Zhao was furious. She slammed the wooden stick on the ground. "Which bastard spread this? If I find out, I'll skin her alive! Shameless!"

Qin sighed heavily. "I heard it's coming from Shuiwu Village, and the rumors are really awful! We only know Mother's maternal relatives in Shuiwu Village; we're not very familiar with the others. But there's no reason why my uncle and his family would do something like this."

Qin was also extremely puzzled. Who had the Mo family offended that someone was targeting them like this?

That's right, it's targeting the Mo family. Because the Mo family used to be dirt poor, everyone avoided them like the plague, who would pay them any attention! Now that the Mo family is doing well, they're envious and want to ruin them.

Everyone in the three villages knew that the Mo family only prospered after marrying the mute woman. So, if they wanted to ruin the Mo family, wouldn't it be easier to get rid of the mute woman?

It's really hard to guess who it is, after all, people's hearts are fickle, especially when I'm doing well and you're doing poorly, feelings of imbalance can change at any time.

Old Mrs. Mo defended her family, "It couldn't have been your uncles! They rarely come, and probably don't even know the specifics of the Mo family's situation, plus they're not very involved in family affairs. Your aunts are unlikely to do it either; they're kind-hearted and know the importance of a woman's reputation, they wouldn't bring this up!"

If it's not a member of the Zhou family, then who could it be?

Everyone fell silent, because they couldn't think of anything even after racking their brains.

Mo Qinghe arrived and said casually, "There's also a woman that my aunt often brings along."

When everyone heard this, they were a little incredulous. The girl was so gentle and proper, how could she do such a vicious thing?

Mo Qinghe knew they were bewitched by the woman's appearance, but he didn't argue. He only said, "She wants to climb the social ladder and marry into the Mo family to enjoy a life of luxury. Can you stop her from doing what she wants?"

Once you put it that way, everyone understood.

Zhao spat and immediately began to curse, "What a piece of trash! I knew this woman wasn't a decent person. An unmarried girl who keeps going to other people's houses, and she's not even familiar with them! Turns out she's eyeing things that don't belong to her, shameless! She wants to marry into the family and enjoy a life of luxury, ugh! Dream on! Get out of here!"

Old Mrs. Mo's face was extremely grim. On one hand, she blamed herself for not discovering the woman's purpose earlier and for letting her come to the Mo family and even treating her well. On the other hand, she blamed Wang Shi for not being discreet and for making friends with all sorts of people. She brought people to other people's homes without knowing them well enough, and for them to come so often!

Madam Qin's usual gentle expression vanished, replaced by rage. She adhered to traditional rules and could not tolerate others violating them. She immediately threw a ladle of water at the woman and then stood with her hands on her hips, cursing.

"Ungrateful! Heartless! They shouldn't have saved them in the first place! They're not pitiful at all! They should have just left their mother and daughter to their fate! No wonder no one stepped forward to save them back then. They're shameless and despicable!"

The men's faces were also extremely pale. Although they didn't curse out loud like the women, they cursed them eighty times in their hearts!

After everyone had finished cursing and their anger had subsided a bit, Mo Qinghe told them not to be angry anymore, and that he would deal with that woman!

Everyone felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Mo Qinghe wasn't charmed. Although the mute girl wasn't pretty, she was very capable, knew a lot, and treated them better!

They didn't want Mo Qinghe to marry that vicious woman, who was two-faced. If he did, the Mo family would probably be finished!

She's full of scheming and intrigue; things will definitely get chaotic and unsettling from now on. They might even find themselves dead without ever knowing how they offended her!

That's terrifying!

Beautiful women are indeed hard to come by!

Although it wasn't particularly beautiful, it was considered a flower in the village.

Everyone followed Mo Qinghe's instructions, neither getting angry nor arguing, and went about their business.

After spreading the rumors, Qiu Huiling waited gleefully for things to escalate and explode. She believed that Su Nanxi's situation was beyond resolution and she would eventually be forced to flee.

The ugly mute has a mouth, but can she speak?

In the end, either the Mo family divorced her, or she couldn't stand the slanderous rumors and left.

In either case, it's a good thing for Qiu Huiling!

No matter how things develop, the final outcome will be in her favor!

Rumors are indeed powerful! Who can withstand their influence?

Feeling that things had gotten to the point, Qiu Huiling planned to move on to the next step, but this plan required some money.

Qiu Huiling and her daughter were practically penniless, possessing nothing of value. When they first came to seek refuge with relatives, they had nothing with them and were extremely poor and destitute.

When you ask someone for a favor, you can't just get it done by talking to them. You still have to give them something, right? You have to give them some money!

We were all poor people, and there were no Lei Fengs in ancient times, so paying for our labor was a must, otherwise no one would pay attention to us!

Qiu Huiling has no money. She's about to succeed, how could she be willing to give up the plan!

"It's okay if you don't have money, just agree to one condition and I'll help you!"
