Everyone present felt sorry for Shen Chumo. How dare these two bully her! They all wanted to protect her and cherish her.

Everyone now believed Shen Chumo's words without a doubt, and their eyes were filled with contempt and disdain as they looked at Shen Yuan.

Huo Yunhan was filled with shame. He felt he deserved to die; how could he have believed Shen Yuan?

Looking at Shen Chumo's pitiful appearance, her eyes filled with tears, her eyes reddening, and tears streaming down her face like broken beads, he felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart.

He wanted to go forward and comfort Shen Chumo, but he felt he was not qualified. He regretted his gullibility and recklessness, and regretted the great harm he had caused Shen Chumo.

Li Yi hugged Shen Chumo and cried out in anguish, "My poor daughter! We've helped this ungrateful wretch for so many years, feeding her, giving her water, and paying her tuition for school for ten years. I shouldn't have been so kind; it's what hurt my daughter."

Shen Chumo buried her head in Li Yi's arms and sobbed bitterly; it was a heartbreaking sight that would move anyone who saw it to tears.

Seeing this, Wang Dazhi slapped himself twice. "I deserve to die. I'm not human."

The uncles and aunts in the village were indignant. Aunt Zhang pointed at Shen Yuan and cursed, "Shen Yuan, you are a vicious woman! I always thought you were jealous, but I never thought you would do such a heinous thing."

How could you hurt such a good girl like Chu Mo? Don't you have any conscience at all?

"That's right! You're incompetent, so you resort to these underhanded methods. You've completely disgraced our Pinggang Village." Old Li was so angry that his beard was trembling.

"You deserve to be punished! Chu Mo has always treated you well, but you repay kindness with enmity. You're a complete ingrate! We've all been fooled by your true colors!" a young man shouted angrily.

“Look at yourself now, still unrepentant. You should be arrested and sent to a labor camp, and never come back. Our Pinggang Village cannot tolerate a wicked woman like you,” a woman holding a child said with disgust.

Amidst the jeers of the crowd, Shen Yuan's face turned pale and then flushed. Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had suffered such humiliation. She bit her lip tightly, as if seeing the scales completely tipped in Shen Chumo's favor.

Shen Yuan, still unwilling to give up, said, "These are all fabrications. I did drink with Shen Chumo that day, but she couldn't hold her liquor and left on her own."

The rest is pure nonsense, officer. You must investigate this thoroughly! She must have conspired with Wang Dazhi to harm me.

Shen Chumo raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked directly at Shen Yuan. "Shen Yuan, you really won't admit your mistakes until you're faced with a real problem. Do you think I don't have any other evidence?"

What evidence? Shen Yuan's face turned pale.

Shen Chumo continued, "You bought that sleeping potion from Liu Ergou in Baisha Village, right? Later, I asked someone to inquire in Baisha Village, and Liu Ergou has already implicated you."

That wine was something you prepared in advance; there's still half a bottle left, which you buried under the big tree in your yard. You couldn't bear to throw it away, and you were planning to use it on me again next time.

Shen Yuan's body began to tremble, her eyes filled with terror: "No, this is impossible, how could Liu Ergou betray me?"

After saying that, Shen Yuan suddenly covered her mouth; she had already confessed without being asked.

Shen Chumo took a deep breath and said, "Although Liu Ergou sold you the sleeping pills, he also knows the seriousness of the matter. He doesn't want to go to jail because of you."

The police officer frowned and looked at Shen Yuan seriously: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Yuan shook her head frantically, still clinging to a last sliver of hope: "No, this is all Shen Chumo's conspiracy; she wants to frame me."

Shen Chumo took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to the police: "This is a letter that Shen Yuan wrote to my fiancé Huo Yunhan. In the letter, she maliciously slandered me and fabricated many lies. This is also one of the pieces of evidence."

Shen Chumo had anticipated this day, so she sneaked into Shen Yuan's room beforehand and stole a letter.

The policeman took the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he looked at Shen Yuan and said, "This evidence is very bad for you. You'd better tell the truth now."

With things having come to this, Shen Yuan collapsed to the ground, knowing she had no way out.

She glared at Shen Chumo resentfully: "Why are you doing this to me? You have everything, all I want is to get what I want."

Shen Chumo looked at Shen Yuan with disappointment and said, "Does wanting to get what you want justify hurting others by any means necessary? You are too selfish."

Shen Yuan's face was contorted with resentment as she glared at Shen Chumo. Her heart was filled with bitterness as she said, "Fate is unfair, Shen Chumo. You were born lucky. You have a loving family, a happy marriage, and everyone loves you."

"And what about me? I have nothing, so what's wrong with me fighting for it?!" Shen Yuan roared, as if to vent all the resentment in her heart.

Shen Chumo looked at Shen Yuan, who was slumped on the ground, and said with pity in her eyes, "Fine, then I'll tell you what you did wrong."

You can argue, but what you're arguing about is wrong.

What you should strive for is academic performance, getting into university to change your destiny;

What you need to strive for is your own independence and self-reliance. Only when you are strong enough will everyone naturally gravitate towards you.

What you should strive for is your own vision and perspective, so that you can stand at a higher level and see a wider world;

What you should strive for is your character and cultivation, so that your words and actions exude a charm that commands respect.

Instead of doing what you're doing now, hurting and ruining others for a man or some vanity, you're narrowing your own path and ultimately ending up in a dead end.

The entire room fell silent. These words were shocking, yet they came from a girl who was only seventeen years old.

"Well said!" The two policemen looked at Shen Chumo with admiration and applauded. "Student Shen, what you said is so true. People should be self-reliant and strong. Things obtained through crooked means are destined to not last long."

Huo Yunhan looked at Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with even more love.

In that instant, Shen Yuan was plunged into deep self-doubt. Shen Chumo's words kept echoing in her mind, those words striking her heart like heavy hammer blows.

Shen Yuan stared blankly at the ground, as if something in her heart had been touched. Had she really done something wrong?
