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.
