You treated me coldly and violently at first, why are you crying after returning to modern times?

"I was rescued by the maid, really. It wasn't him who rescued me."

"He didn't see my naked body. I was wearing thick clothes that day, so my body wasn't visible even when the clothes were wet."

As soon as this explanation came out.

The noble lady's eyes were stern, and she suddenly raised her hand and slapped the young lady: "Pa!"

"You still don't admit it!"

"If he hadn't seen your body naked, how would he know that you had a red scar on your ankle? You actually hid such a big thing from the family, it's really embarrassing!"

"If it weren't for you, would the master have taken out his anger on me? Bitch! I think you are a bitch. You just wanted to hook up with a man when you just came of age. Now this marriage can't be saved. Your reputation is ruined."

"You'll go with him today. I don't have a coquettish daughter like you!"

The lady grabbed the young lady and pushed her towards the man who was beaten and vomiting blood.

The man subconsciously reached out and supported the lady.

That’s the move!

This action made the noble lady's eyes look even more contemptuous and disgusted, and she looked at the young lady as if she was looking at something particularly dirty, without any love or affection for her daughter in her eyes.

There is only humiliation, hatred and indifference.

"Mom, I don't want to marry him... I don't want to break off the engagement, wuwu... I really wasn't seen naked, I don't know how the rumor spread that I have a red scar on my ankle, I don't know."

"mother......."

The lady looked down at her daughter.

When I was about to give birth, the fortune teller said it would be a son, but I ended up giving birth to such a money-losing child.

Because of this, she fell out of favor with the master, and all his love was given to the concubine who gave birth to a son. Over the years, the lady has always regarded her as a jinx, because it was she who brought about the death of her son.

Now that such a disgraceful thing had happened, the lady became even angrier.

She said each word coldly: "Don't call me mom. You killed my son when he was born. Now that you are getting married, you are causing such a scandal. It really makes me lose face."

"go!"

The lady showed no mercy and turned away.

That moment.

Shen Wei saw...saw the only remaining light in the young lady's eyes go out.

Shen Wei's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the lady with a frown.

"mother!"

"I am innocent!"

"I am not a fox spirit, I did not stoop so low as to seduce him!" The young lady shouted in despair and slammed her head against the wall.

Accompanied by a bang.

Blood splattered everywhere.

A few drops splashed at Shen Wei's feet.

Shen Wei stepped back in shock and horror, covering her mouth with her right hand. Her heart tightened and tightened, and for a moment she could not accept the horrible fact before her.

"You......." The lady looked at him in shock.

It seemed that he didn't expect that his daughter would be killed right in front of him.

Finally, the noble lady carried the body away with a complicated look in her eyes. It was unknown whether she regretted cursing her daughter with the most vicious words in the world at that moment.

Shen Wei didn’t know whether there was any.

But, none of it matters anymore.

A sixteen-year-old girl.

Because he proved his innocence.

Because of an accidental fall into the water.

Because a foreign man saw a red scar on my ankle.

Because of the rumors, and because she was born a daughter, she didn't even have the chance to resist. Her cheap life was like a flash in the pan and could not be exchanged for anything.

Even the man who indirectly killed her got up in anger and fear, trembling in the direction of her body and muttering: "Oh! It hurts so much... It's so fucking cowardly!"

"It wasn't me who killed you."

"Your fiancé saved a young lady from a wealthy family a while ago, and they fell in love. The other party is twice as wealthy as your family, but you were afraid that canceling the marriage would affect your reputation, so you came to me."

"Give me ten taels of silver and let me tell you that you have a red scar on your ankle."

"I just said it casually when I was drunk, but I didn't expect it to be spread so far. Is it necessary to commit suicide for such a small matter?"

"It's not me who killed you......"

Shen Wei suddenly raised his head and looked at the man who was muttering guiltily in shock.

She didn't know how she got home.

In her mind, she kept replaying the scene of the young lady banging her head against the wall and dying, as well as the noblewoman's face which was a mixture of harshness, disgust, and sarcasm, and finally stopped at the expression on the man's face when he spoke.

Shen Wei's stomach was churning.

She wanted to vomit.

But I couldn't spit it out.

"It turns out that history's bloody oppression of women is just a small part..."

"I should have stopped her earlier... I couldn't stop her. She cares so much about her reputation. Her clan members and relatives have already thought that she is of no use. Her fiancé doesn't think highly of her family's status."

"Can just one sentence or a few rumors kill an innocent person?"

"I feel really uncomfortable. This feeling of having a blockage in my heart is so terrible." Shen Wei's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth to prevent the tears from flowing down.

this moment,

Shen Wei wanted to do something for the young lady who died after hitting her head against the wall.

But she couldn't even save herself, so how could she save this terrible world?

She didn't know how she got back to the mansion until she sat in front of the table and Xiaoman called her soul again and again. Only then did she come to her senses and said weakly, "Xiaoman, I'm fine."

"I want to sit alone for a while."

"Then girl... take care of yourself, you are not alone now." Xiaoman looked at her worriedly, and just as he was about to leave, he paused as if he thought of something and said, "Girl."

"Su Zhu came over just now and said that the Madam wanted to see you and asked you to go there tomorrow morning."

"I suspect it was Aunt Zhao's fault during the day. Madam has always valued that child very much. She warned you not to touch the heir of the Marquis's mansion before. You must explain it to her clearly when the time comes."

Xiaoman closed the door and left.

Shen Wei closed his eyes and sat in silence all night.

the next morning.

Qin Shuyu heard the bad news while she was getting dressed and making up.

Su Zhu seemed to have heard some shocking news. She gritted her teeth with a sad face and said, "Madam, Miss Lin... passed away last night."

boom--

Qin Shuyu didn't react at first. She was holding the jade hairpin in her hand and was about to put it into her hair. When these sudden words came out, the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Broken.

"You, what did you say?" Qin Shuyu's pupils dilated, and she covered her pounding heart in shock: "Which Miss Lin?"

"Lin Yun'er, the cousin you have the best relationship with."

Qin Shuyu shook her body, unable to accept it.

The Lin family was a family of third-rank officials and officials. They had held important positions in the past, and their mansion was always crowded with people.

Unfortunately, the Lin family has fallen into decline in recent years, and Lord Lin has no real power and is only in a superficial position.

And this Miss Lin is Mrs. Lin’s eldest daughter. She has already been engaged and even the marriage has been scheduled. She will be getting married in a few months.

"How could it be? How could Yun'er be gone for no reason......"

"Madam, I heard from the messenger that Miss Lin accidentally fell into the water when she went out to burn incense a few days ago. She was seen naked by a stranger and the two had skin contact."

"That foreign man also knew that she had a red scar on her ankle."

"Last night, Madam Lin took Miss Lin to confront the stranger. I don't know what they said during the confrontation... Madam Lin decided to kick Miss Lin out of the house and let her marry the stranger directly."

"As a result, Miss Lin crashed into the wall and died on the spot."

Qin Shuyu fell on the stool, shook his head in sudden realization and pain, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Yun'er is her cousin, and the age difference between them is not that big.

They often played together when they were little, and she would always remember that the obedient and gentle Yun'er affectionately called her Sister Yu... and said that she was the best sister in the world who treated her best, even better than her mother.

"Yun'er is always accompanied by a maid when she travels. Even if she falls into the water, there will be a personal maid by her side to save her."

"How can you have skin contact with a man outside of your home?"

"Where are the maids?"

Qin Shuyu clutched the corner of the table in grief: "What on earth did they do to let a man get close to them? And in the end, it was leaked and ruined their reputation."

"........"

Shen Wei heard clearly all the words that came out of the room.
