Chapter 694: Chapter 688: Looking for Trouble
 

“That’s right, Uncle Lei, Aunt Lan, is there really some hidden secret behind Qin Xue’s marriage?” Mrs. Li was happy when someone stood by her side and caught the key point.

Didn’t she hear what Su’E said? Hidden secret. Hearing these two words made her happy, as it proved there were more topics for gossip. This kind of news was always exciting.

“What do you mean, Su’E? Don’t you know if there are some hidden secrets? You’re such a good friend of Qin Xue, how can you be such a friend and say this?” Nangong Shulan was furious when she heard this. What kind of people were there?

“Aunt, I may be friends with Qin Xue, but she doesn’t tell me everything. How would I know if there’s any hidden secret?” Qin Su’e walked up and said leisurely.

“If you don’t know, then don’t spread rumors! This kind of talk can ruin my daughter’s reputation!” Nangong Shulan thought of what her mother-in-law said last night. Now, looking at Qin Su’e, she couldn’t help but feel that she had a deep mind.

Before, Nangong Shulan only thought Qin Su’e was a bit greedy, so she told her daughter to stay away from her. But her daughter didn’t listen and even got angry with her, thinking she didn’t want her to have friends. In the end, she could only indulge her daughter’s wishes.

However, seeing Qin Su’e now, she felt something was off. Were all those bad rumors about her daughter in the village related to Qin Su’e? It had to be said that Nangong Shulan had uncovered the truth.

“Aunt, the reputation is earned by oneself. If Qin Xue hasn’t done anything wrong, then why would she be afraid of people talking about it? Isn’t that right?” Qin Su’e was at this point, she had given up on everything and didn’t care about anything else anymore.

If they were so ungrateful to her, why should she care about them being from the same village? If they didn’t want her to have a good life, then they shouldn’t expect a good one either.

It had to be said that confronting someone with a dead pig’s fear of boiling water was really troublesome, because such people didn’t even care about their own image, let alone what others would say.

“My daughter’s marriage doesn’t have any hidden secrets, but I heard that there was something fishy about your own marriage. How come such a young girl like you has an Electra complex?” Nangong Shulan adjusted her emotions before speaking.

“What do you mean, Aunt?” Qin Su’e’s face changed when she heard this.

“It means nothing really, I just heard that you married that man because you did something, or else why would you marry him? If not, then the person who spread this rumor is really outrageous, right? Besides, your husband’s age seems to be even older than your father? Can you tell us all how old he really is, Su’e?” Nangong Shulan thought that no matter who tried to ruin her daughter, she wouldn’t let them.

“Humph, who’s spreading these rumors? Are they full from eating too much?” Qin Su’e was angry when she heard this; she already didn’t like that old man who was older than her father.

If it weren’t for Qin Yu, she wouldn’t have to live like this now. But after Nangong Shulan said this, she couldn’t refute anything.

It was because Qin Yu had drugged her with the same drug intended for Qin Xue and Chu Molin and then threw her onto that man’s body. So, at that time, it was like she was begging that old man to take her.

If she said anything now, and Nangong Shulan revealed it, then she would really lose face.

She had just said there were hidden secrets in Qin Xue’s marriage, but now her own mother was denying it. The next second, her own scandal was exposed, which was like slapping her own face. At that point, even if she wasn’t afraid of being shamed, her father would surely beat her to death.
