He Yulan skillfully imitated the villagers’ gossip, her fingers delicately touching her throat as she spoke, “I’ve known Wenwen since she was young. She’s a scheming girl, skilled at manipulating others for her own gain.” Su Qing and Su Xiu were furious upon hearing the accusation.
“Who said that? Who dares spread such rumors?” Su Qing demanded.
“It doesn’t matter who said it,” He Yulan immediately regretted her words, realizing she shouldn’t have disclosed the gossip. She tried to console them, saying, “Gossip is common. Let it go, don’t dwell on it.”
“Yulan is right,” Wang Chunyan chimed in.
But Su Qing and Su Xiu couldn’t let it go. They could talk ill about others, but not about Big Sister.
Meanwhile, Su Wen remained calm. Her eyebrows barely furrowed, but inside, she contemplated the situation. Since moving to the Province, she had distanced herself from the villagers, making her an easy target for gossip.
“It’s just idle chatter, nothing more,” Su Wen agreed with Wang Chunyan.
“Wenwen is the wisest among us. We shouldn’t create more trouble. My husband constantly worries you’ll get into trouble again. Every time you do, it becomes a big issue,” Village Chief Li Youcai expressed his concern for Su Wen.
Previously, when Su Wen caused trouble, he still had time to inform Hengyang. But this time, regarding the matter with Su Xiaoya, he didn’t even have a chance to notify Hengyang.
Li Youcai always sighed at home.
Su Wen defended herself, saying, “I didn’t intend for any of this.”
Amidst the laughter, Wang Chunyan and He Yulan left around noon. Due to the rain, Su Wen didn’t send them off. Alone under the eaves, she gazed at the misty fields, her thoughts elsewhere.
In fact, she wasn’t lost in thought, she was missing someone.
Su Wen felt her daydreaming tendencies increasing, which was a worrisome sign. However, thoughts of the eight houses someone had given her made her chuckle. She realized she was easily pleased.
“Sis, look at these photos,” Su Qing called out from her room, presenting an old photo album.
Photo albums were rare in many households, but Su Xuewen was rich and left
behind a thick album.
This was the first time Su Wen had seen it.
Opening it, Su Wen’s eyes widened at the sight of a picture of Su Xuewen and his wife, Liu Mingxuan. Su Xuewen, in his Chinese tunic suit, had mesmerizing peach blossom eyes, a feature Su Wen had inherited. Surprisingly, Su Wen found that her mother, Liu Mingxuan, didn’t possess the stunning looks she had imagined.
The Su sisters outshone one another in beauty, with the eldest and the sixth being particularly stunning, belonging to the category of top-notch beauties.
Though they couldn’t rival Su Wen’s beauty, they were attractive, thanks to Su Wen’s meticulous care. Her influence had brought about remarkable transformations in the sisters. Whenever they ventured out, compliments on their beauty were bound to follow.
So, Su Wen had always subconsciously believed that her mother, Liu Mingxuan, must be incredibly beautiful. However, she was wrong. The true beauty in the family was Su Xuewen.
Overwhelmed, Su Wen instinctively covered her mouth to stifle a gasp..
