Chapter 587 Strategy
This is the case before and after every year's Miraculous Medicine Conference. The Du family's only request to Mr. Du is that he stay at home and not talk nonsense.
The reason why Miss Du bought the yard next door was because she wanted to find a quiet place... In fact, before Hu Xiner rented this yard, she would also come here to hide for a few days.
Hu Xin'er suddenly realized: "No wonder you're so interested in this place. So there's a reason for this."
Seeing Miss Du distressed about this matter, Hu Xin'er thought of her kindness to her family, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I have a method that may be able to help you eradicate this trouble, but this method is unchivalrous. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
Miss Du exhaled a breath of foul air, as if exhaling all the troubles in her heart: "Tell me what you have to say."
When she said this, she didn't actually have much hope in her heart.
Hu Xin'er said confidently, "The method I'm going to use is to make you feign illness! At the same time, we'll spread various rumors so that the people of Qingzhou City can learn to be wise spectators."
"Wise... spectators?" Big question marks popped up in Ms. Du and Xiao Cui's heads at the same time.
There are two main rumors against Miss Du today. One is that Miss Du was jealous of Miss Zhou's beauty, so she spoke harshly to her at the Miraculous Medicine Conference, which directly led to Miss Zhou falling ill.
The second is that Miss Du has been bullying handsome men in Qingzhou City for many years. She is narrow-minded, lustful, and shameless.
After returning home, Hu Xiner began to work hard, carefully designing many other rumors and spreading them to the market.
"Have you heard? It turns out Miss Du was wrongly accused..." Someone in the teahouse said mysteriously during a chat, "Miss Zhou and Miss Du both fell in love with the same man, and that's why they had a rift."
"What?!" The people at the next table also came over, "Didn't Miss Zhou faint and Miss Du rushed over to save her?"
Someone who knew the situation sneered disdainfully: "Humph, it's obvious that Miss Du has set her sights on Miss Zhou and wants to take her by force, but Miss Zhou will never comply."
The others looked at the insider in shock, letting out a small exclamation: "Oh my God, no wonder Miss Du hasn't found a suitable man in all these years, it turns out she likes women."
Shocked! Such a thing had happened to two famous ladies in Qingzhou City... This news spread throughout Qingzhou City at explosive speed.
As the winter solstice is approaching, many people return to their hometowns to celebrate the festival. When they have no topics to talk about, they will talk about the latest news, and such news will spread especially quickly.
This is the first stage of rumor fermentation, which secretly replaces the concept of character issue with love-hate entanglement.
The morning mist curled up, and the women drawing water from the well were chatting: "Hey, although Miss Du's pursuit methods are not quite right, their families are a good match."
A young wife smiled shyly and said, "Sister-in-law, how come you don't know what kind of person Miss Du is? Even if she pursues someone else, it wouldn't be a big deal. I think Miss Zhou is angry, so she secretly spread rumors after the end, right?"
"You mean, all the rumors that were unfavorable to Miss Du were spread by Miss Zhou?" The person next to him lowered his voice.
The young wife snorted softly, "We're all women. How can we be innocent? Think about it carefully. Before Miss Zhou attended the Miraculous Medicine Conference, who said anything bad about Miss Du?"
Turning around, the young wife closed the door and counted the money happily: "Just by saying a few words of gossip, I can get a reward. This kind of business is too profitable."
This is the second stage of rumor fermentation, sending people to infiltrate the masses and guide them back to the essence of the matter.
"Wouldn't this be too obvious?" Miss Du and Hu Xin'er sat across from each other, listening to Xiao Cui's report from outside, and couldn't help but ask with some concern. "Miss Zhou's people won't let it go if they hear of any unfavorable rumors about her. If the situation turns around and they find out we're behind the rumors, I'm afraid my reputation will be severely damaged again."
Hu Xin'er leisurely picked at the tea leaves and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident."
When Miss Zhou's people realized that something was wrong and wanted to turn the situation around, they found that it was too late, and... the rumors spread by Hu Xin'er were far more than that.
"Damn it! It must be that bitch named Du who is slandering me!" At the Zhou family, Miss Zhou, with her face covered with a white veil, was shaking with anger.
The time before and after the Miraculous Medicine Conference every year is her happiest day, because the entire Qingzhou City will be filled with praise for her and contempt for that woman.
However, the direction of public opinion this time was not what she had imagined.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sure my image will be damaged. Hurry up and send them some more money so they can clear my name."
Zhou Chenghe frowned and said, "This may be a bit difficult."
"Idiot! Didn't I teach you everything I know all those years ago?" Miss Zhou's voice became shrill with excitement. "Just find the flaws in this rumor and talk about some of the good things I've done."
"But..." Zhou Chenghe said awkwardly, "These rumors include not only those that are favorable to Miss Du, but also those that are unfavorable to her, and there are many different types."
The scariest thing is that almost everyone can come up with a different version, and thinks that what others come up with is rubbish.
What? You're saying this is all Miss Du's scheme?
Impossible! If Ms. Du really was spreading a conspiracy, why would she include herself in the conspiracy?
Her Du family is in urgent need of continuing the family line, so why would she create an image of herself as someone who is not interested in men but in women?
Even if you really want to make a story, you have to make it into a character like Miss Zhou who is otherworldly, beautiful and kind, right?
Thinking of this, some people seemed to vaguely realize something.
How could a place as cruel as the Zhou family possibly raise a white lotus like Miss Zhou? Unless...
Just as no one believed Ms. Du’s clarification at the beginning, no one believes Ms. Zhou’s clarification now.
No one believed Miss Du because Miss Zhou was eloquent and could make black into white, creating an image of herself as a fairy.
But if she had lived in modern times, she would have understood that when creating a person's character, one cannot make it too perfect, because it will easily collapse.
Anyone with a brain will notice the clues behind such a perfect image after a period of time.
Moreover, the more pure and flawless the image is, the more difficult it is to accept when there are black spots.
