"Rumors are circulating now...you went to Yuanjia Village, and...frightened a young girl."
Suizi's heart tightened. Despite the man's tactful wording, everyone knew what he was suggesting.
They suspected that Yu Jingting was involved with the villain who had dragged the young girl into the cornfield in Yuanjia Village.
She turned pale, not just because Yu Jingting was treated as a suspect, but because the news had spread throughout the village, and the young girl surely had to bear the slanderous gossip.
Even the old woman knew to keep this secret, unwilling to pierce the veil of pretense.
The victim's family kept silent.
The perpetrator would not spread the news either.
It must have been spread by Li Youcai.
This wicked fellow, he not only calculated against herself, but also her family. He wanted to send Yu Jingting to jail.
The angrier Suizi became, the paler her face turned, her hands clenched into fists.
