Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Shen Nankui's body was trembling slightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or angry. She clenched her fists and suddenly turned around and walked towards the people who were talking about her.

"Who are you calling shameless?"

Everyone was puzzled to see her coming over to question them so blatantly. This woman was really shameless. She didn't even feel ashamed after hearing these words?

Someone replied to her, "Whoever is shameless knows it themselves!"

Shen Nankui stared at him coldly, "What do I know?"

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the crowd.

"You don't know what you've suffered, so how could we know?"

A group of people looked at her wantonly, "Tsk tsk, this face, this small waist, I can't even walk after seeing it, no wonder people are staring at her..."

Shen Nankui suddenly slapped the man hard.

The man was extremely angry, and even more angry that he was beaten by a woman in the street, so he wanted to fight back immediately.

"You stinky bitch, I'll beat you to death!"

Gu Yichuan suddenly appeared, pulled Shen Nankui behind him to protect him, and kicked the man hard.

"roll!"

Everyone knew Gu Yichuan, and they didn't dare to provoke someone with great achievements, so they dispersed cursing, but those dirty words continued to reach Shen Nankui's ears.

Shen Nankui's face was pale and full of disbelief.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yichuan felt a pain in his heart and hurriedly covered her ears.

"Don't listen."

Shen Nankui pulled his hand down and murmured, "Why?"

Gu Yichuan couldn't answer.

He was also very angry. He wanted to tear those people's mouths, but if he tore one person's mouth, there would be countless others who would say...

He failed to protect his beloved.

Shen Nankui suddenly smiled and shook her head, "It's not like that. It shouldn't be like this."

She turned and walked back.

Gu Yichuan followed closely behind her, looking at the frail figure in front of him, and he made a decision in his heart.

back home.

Gu's mother, who had ignored Shen Nankui for the past few days, suddenly looked gloomy when she saw them coming back from outside.

"What are you doing outside? Don't you think the Gu family is embarrassing enough?"

These past few days, whenever she went out, all she heard was people talking about her family's affairs. Her face, which she used to care about the most, had disappeared in the past few days.

Now everyone is making fun of the Gu family and their own son.

It was a pity that she still thought Shen Nankui was so powerful that he had the courage to fight the criminals and escape death.

Now that I think about it, it would be better to let her die there. That way, the Gu family wouldn't have to share the shame with her!

She doesn't even dare to go out now. She feels so embarrassed wherever she goes!

"Mom!" Gu Yichuan stopped her in a deep voice.

Gu's mother has argued with him many times in the past few days, but her silly son only knows how to protect his wife, refuses to listen to her, and even prevents her from showing disrespect in front of Shen.

If it weren't for her son, she would have sent Shen back to her parents' home long ago!

A disgraceful thing!

I originally thought that I had wronged her. Seeing how she devoted herself to helping the family, I thought that she was a suitable woman for a family and that I had made the right decision by marrying her.

But I didn't expect that he was still a jinx and brought such gossip to his family!

Shen Nankui ignored Gu's mother. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in her room.

Gu Yichuan was worried and came to see her.

Shen Nankui's expression had already returned to calm. He smiled and shook his head, "Yichuan, I'm fine. I just want to be quiet and think about something."

Gu Yichuan hesitated to speak, held her hand and said, "Okay, Nankui, you take a good rest at home, and leave the things outside to me."

He couldn't guarantee anything.

But he will try his best to reduce the harm of this incident to Shen Nankui.

"Yeah." Shen Nankui smiled and nodded.

Gu Yichuang did not stay any longer. He stayed in the study for a while and then went out to find the head of the village.

When the village head learned the purpose of his visit, his brows were filled with worry.

After a long pause, he said, "Yichuan, I can only help you call someone over. As for the outcome, whether everyone will accept it or not, I can't predict that."

"Thank you for your help, Li Zheng."

The head of the village had a complicated expression and sighed, "I know your wife's character very well, otherwise I wouldn't have invited her to be a teacher in the private school. I was also a witness to this incident. Your wife is very courageous and is an admirable person. She shouldn't have suffered such insults and injustices. When the time comes, I will try my best to help you mediate."

"Yichuang, thank you very much, village head!" Gu Yichuan thanked him again solemnly.

In the afternoon, the head of the village gathered all the elders and villagers in the town to the open space in front of the ancestral hall.

When everyone came here and saw Gu Yichuan was there, some of them already understood.

Some people are curious, some are contemptuous, and some come with the attitude of watching the show.

They couldn't understand why Gu Yichuan, a scholar, didn't feel ashamed when his wife caused such a scandal, and he didn't hide away to avoid suspicion, but instead ran in front of everyone.

Don’t you think the gossip you’ve heard these days is enough?

When everyone was present, Gu Yichuan stood in front of them and spoke first.

"I know that everyone has discussed a lot about my family, openly or secretly. Today, I asked the head of the village to help and gather all the relatives here to discuss this matter openly."

"What are you going to say? Tell me how your wife was bullied?"

A teasing sound came from the crowd.

These words were too humiliating, and they were said in front of others. No one dared to laugh, but the meaning of their eyes was self-evident.

Gu Yichuan did not get angry, but just said: "Zhao Er, I remember that you had a history of being caught and imprisoned for stealing. I wonder if you have committed the crime again in the past two years?"

The man stopped talking, and everyone was shocked.

Only then did he remember Gu Yichuan's identity. Although he was young, he was already a juren, which meant he was an official.

No one can afford to offend him!

Gu Yichuan continued, "I have heard all the things you said, both pleasing and unpleasant. I just want to ask, before you say these things, do you know what the facts are?"

"What is it like?"

No one dared to tease him anymore and just asked him the question honestly.

"In fact, Wu Shaoben is a very evil person. He has killed countless women over the years. My wife is just one of the victims. There is no such thing as deliberate seduction."

"Besides, my wife is brave and resourceful. After being abducted, she did not accept her fate, but fought desperately with the criminals, seriously injured the criminals, and then jumped into the lake to survive until I and the officers and soldiers found her."

Gu Yichuan looked extremely solemn, "Excuse me, everyone, in all the above matters, what did my wife do wrong?"

Everyone was speechless.

Just hearing this, his wife's experience is indeed thrilling and moving.

Zhao Er said: "You are her man, so you should naturally speak for your wife. How can this count?"

"The village head went with me to rescue people, he can testify to this, and the government notices say the same thing, you will know it at a glance."

The head of the village nodded and said, "That's right. I guarantee with my personal integrity that what Mr. Gu said is absolutely true. Besides, the government has issued a notice, so how can it be false?"

"You all, without any careful discrimination, just spread rumors. How could you know that these rumors are as sharp as a weapon and can destroy a person!"

After being scolded by him, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads in shame. Few among them knew the truth, and most of them had only heard it based on hearsay.

Maybe, Mr. Gu’s wife was wronged...

But some people still don't believe it.
