"Madam Wen, you were indeed a young lady from a wealthy family before, but even so, you're just an ordinary person now... No matter how rich and powerful you were before, no matter how you slandered people... But now you're no longer that young lady..."
"Waaah, I'm so tired of living! This is all the savings we have. Doesn't Madam Wen want us to live?" Aunt Zhao said, clenching her fists and pounding them against her heart.
Wen Nan's reputation is indeed not good; he's notorious in the village. He came to Lianhua Village a year ago and has been causing trouble ever since. Going out to drink with the young master is secondary...
Her favorite thing is to take other people's things without permission.
Moreover, it is very assertive.
The grievances among the people had been brewing for a long time.
“That’s right. Last year, when Madam Wen went out for a drink, she robbed my child of ten coins. Although Scholar Lu eventually returned them… she still has a criminal record.” One of the villagers stood up and said what he considered to be a fair statement.
Everyone immediately looked at Wen Nan with disdain.
"Yes, yes, a few months ago, Madam Wen even stole my chicken to exchange for wine money."
"right……"
In an instant, everyone who had suffered at the hands of the original owner stepped forward.
The original owner of this body committed many evil deeds, but Lu Yanqing always managed to clean up the mess.
At this moment, it's like dredging up old grievances, bringing everything up all at once.
"Madam Wen, Aunt Zhao doesn't earn money easily. She has several people in her family. What are you going to do with her money?"
"Lady Wen still can't shake her bad habits..."
"...Tsk tsk tsk, is this the behavior of the eldest daughter of the Wen family in Jiangnan?"
"That's just how she is, that's why she got kicked out. Tsk tsk tsk, she doesn't even respect her own family."
"A menace..."
"She must have seen the money and couldn't move, wanting to keep it for herself."
Wen Nan was slightly taken aback when the system's voice rang in his mind.
[What they're talking about are all sins committed by the original owner of this body.]
Wen Nan did not receive the memories; he could only learn about them from the system.
But she didn't care.
Suddenly, a sound like a mountain stream interrupted everyone's conversation.
“Aunt Zhao, you say this money is yours, but do you have any proof?” Lu Yanqing asked, holding his cane, his dark blue hair covered in snow.
He frowned, reached out and grabbed Wen Nan's wrist. It was as if, through the thick fabric, Wen Nan could feel the warmth of Lu Yanqing's hand.
Lu Yanqing stood silently in front of Wen Nan.
The boy was only eighteen years old, with a slender figure and a tall body. Wen Nan's gaze was completely blocked by Lu Yanqing's back.
The villagers' curses seemed to have been suddenly silenced.
Wen Nan was completely stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
“I, I have a black cloth money bag with… a big fish embroidered on it…” Aunt Zhao saw it; she saw the money bag in Wen Nan’s hand and could describe its appearance quite accurately.
The big fish… that’s the koi that Aunt Zhao saw, but unfortunately, she couldn’t think of a word to describe it. After hesitating for a long time… she finally managed to utter the word “big fish.”
The village chief looked at Lu Yanqing hesitantly, and Lu Yanqing reached out and placed his hand in front of Wen Nan.
Wen Nan blinked, her eyes full of innocence, and handed the money bag in her hand to Lu Yanqing.
Lu Yanqing revealed the money bag in his hand.
Aunt Zhao was so excited she almost jumped up. "Yes, yes, this is it... this is my money bag..."
The surrounding villagers saw that it was exactly as Aunt Zhao had described.
The embroiderer was somewhat surprised; she had never seen Aunt Zhao with such a money pouch before. However, in order to stand by Lu Yanqing's side, she had to make up a story.
"Madam Wen, look, isn't this exactly what my mother said? Madam Wen, you still won't admit it..."
