Chương 43: Chapter 043 Key Evidence

Bai Ruozhu's voice was clear and resounding, attracting the attention of all who heard it. Although she was heavy with child, she held herself upright with a scholar's pride. Many looked at her with envy; being a part of the Bai Family, known for its scholarly background, clearly had its advantages. Even their daughters were imbued with the scholar's arrogant bone.

Many were reminded of the good deeds Scholar Bai Yihong had done for the village's school. The money that should have been owed to the Bai Family by the Liu Family was treated as their donation to the school, a clear gesture of goodwill. In contrast, many turned to look at Mrs. Liu, notorious for stirring up gossip behind people's backs.

"You blame me for assaulting you and for the exposure of your illicit relationship with Chang Sheng. You think I was the one who blew the whistle on you," Mrs. Liu's eyes darted back and forth, believing that if she could tarnish Bai Ruozhu's name, she'd be safe.
