“When a person dies, nothing remains. Only the things left behind can express some of the grief.”
"Yes, when my mother passed away, she left me a hairpin. During that time, my family had some misfortunes, and we even had trouble getting three meals a day. I never thought of selling the hairpin my mother left me."
“Oh, I didn’t expect that your Qi family had experienced such a difficult situation.”
…
The crowd was talking about it, but no one accused the girl of being a thief anymore. However, everyone still had a bad impression of her.
After all, the girl left a very bad impression on everyone just now.
The expected effect was not achieved, and hatred was evident in the girl's eyes.
These stupid untouchables, did she say that just to let them talk nonsense!
She said that to let them know: the soft sword and jade pendant are hers! The person who took her things is a robber!
Just now, when these lowly people heard that she was a thief, they pointed at her nose and cursed her, wishing they could drown her with their spit!
Now there is a thief standing in front of them who robs things in public, but these people don’t curse at all... Aren’t robbers more hateful than thieves!
The girl was so angry that her facial features were distorted.
However, she couldn't beat Shen Qiqi, and she also wanted to win the protection of the people, so she didn't dare to vent her anger on everyone. She had to remind everyone again that Shen Qiqi was a robber.
She stared at Shen Qiqi with blazing eyes and angrily accused her, "My father left me this legacy. No matter how poor I was, even if I was so hungry I had to chew on tree bark, I never thought of selling it for food, because I knew that was the only thing my father left me!"
"But this woman first stole the soft sword my father gave me, and now she's taken the jade pendant my father left behind. She robbed me so openly in public. In a city as big as Yuzhou, are we really going to let her do this?"
When the girl spoke passionately, the people around her were not moved by her words, but she herself was filled with sadness. Unconsciously, her eyes turned red, and her fake crying turned into real crying, with tears streaming down her face.
Shen Qiqi: "..." What's going on? Why are you crying?
She looked at the girl somewhat bewilderedly.
It wasn't that she was pretending to be confused, it was because she was distracted when the girl accused her just now - she was completely immersed in the shock brought to her by the girl.
The girl said that the soft sword was a gift from her father and the jade pendant was also left by her father.
The Fifth Elder had originally asked for the soft sword, so what about the jade pendant? Did the jade pendant also belong to the Fifth Elder?
She took another look at the jade pendant, and this time she actually got a clue: the necklace of the jade pendant was tied in the shape of a heart knot, and in the middle was a small embroidery with the word "Xi" embroidered on it with gold thread.
And the fifth elder’s name contains the character “Xi”!
I didn’t expect that this girl was actually the illegitimate daughter raised by the Fifth Elder!
You know, the Fifth Elder and his wife are extremely loving, and the Fifth Elder is even more considerate to his wife. Who in the Shen family doesn't praise the Fifth Elder as a good man who is deeply in love with his wife?
I didn't expect that such a good man would keep a mistress outside his wife's back... Shen Qiqi really couldn't help but be shocked.
However, when she thought about it carefully again, she realized that in order to take the position of the head of the family, the fifth elder would let the evil spirits into the city first, and then pretend to fight hard to kill the evil spirits.
Comparing the two, it is not surprising that the Fifth Elder kept a mistress outside without his wife's knowledge.
After the Fifth Elder's evil deeds were exposed, Shen Qiqi did not harm his wife and children. Instead, he had someone purchase a house in a county town under Yuzhou, settled his wife and children in that house, and also left enough money for them.
As for the Fifth Elder's mistress...she had no idea that the Fifth Elder had a mistress until just now. Even if she wanted to take care of her, she had no way to do so.
Without the care of the Fifth Elder, the life of the concubine's mother and daughter must have been very difficult, otherwise they would not have fallen to the point of growing and selling vegetables.
Originally, the mother and daughter lived a rich life with no worries about food and drink, but the food supplier suddenly died. The girl must have resented her sister.
...To be more precise, the girl should hate her more, after all, it was she who exposed the evil deeds of the Fifth Elder.
Her sister took the bullet for her innocently.
Looking at Miss Shen, and then at the angry girl in front of her, Shen Qiqi's eyes turned slightly, and she had a plan in her mind.
I'm afraid that everyone in the entire Yuzhou City, and even the entire cultivation world, knows what the Fifth Elder did.
The girl is the illegitimate daughter of the fifth elder. Once her identity is revealed, her accusations against Miss Shen will be completely nonsense.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi sneered at the girl and said, "Who did you say was violent? Just now, you first slandered Miss Shen, then insulted and beat the old restaurant owner, and finally you drew your sword and tried to hurt the restaurant waiter. I couldn't bear to see it, so I took your sword."
"You used a sword to injure someone in public. If you're talking about violent behavior, you should be the one being blamed."
What Shen Qiqi said were facts that everyone saw with their own eyes, and they immediately resonated with everyone.
"That's right, I saw it all. She was the first to slander Miss Shen. The old shopkeeper came out to dissuade her, but she refused to listen and instead attacked him!"
"It's so funny. It seems like she just has to hit and curse people, and others can't just stand by and help. Otherwise, it would be considered violence."
"I've only heard of the story of the governor setting fires and not allowing the people to light lamps in operas before. Today, I've finally opened my eyes and seen the real version of it."
