The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 522 - Chapter 522 522

Chapter 522: 522 Chapter 522: 522 The crowd fell silent.

Now it was Su Yunjin’s turn to speak. “Without evidence, everyone here has accused me, Su Yunjin, of seducing men. Regardless of who started this rumor, you all came to my door to berate me based on someone else’s words. May I ask, on what grounds do you stand? What gives you the right to decide that I, Su Yunjin, have seduced men?”

As if awakening some people in the crowd, Su Yunjin’s words resonated, “Exactly, we asked the third young master of the Gu Family for evidence, and we also have none. Without evidence, how can we suspect the third young master’s wife of seducing men?”

“So, are you saying that we may have really misunderstood? That we were used by others? But who would be so malicious as to frame the third young master’s wife like this?”

“I have no idea. To smear the third young master’s wife’s reputation like this, that person must be up to no good, with malicious intent!”

“…”

Now, most of the crowd started to speak up for Su Yunjin, beginning to believe that she hadn’t seduced men. Though a small minority still considered her shameless, they were overpowered by the majority and thus, found it difficult to say anything more.

Su Yunjin continued, “I don’t wish to pursue the previous matters any longer. Everyone was misled and used by someone with ulterior motives, believing the rumors that I, Su Yunjin, had seduced men. However, now that my husband and I have clarified everything to everyone, I hope such rumors will not be spread in the future. Otherwise, it would be slander, and I, Su Yunjin, though outnumbered, will not let my reputation be tarnished without a fight.”

“Yunjin is right. Whoever started this rumor today had ill-intentions, intentionally framing her. Yunjin is with me every day, and we’ve never been apart. The idea of her seducing men couldn’t be further from the truth,” added Gu Ya. “I hope today’s rumors will be put to rest, and no one will fabricate things out of thin air, tarnishing my wife’s reputation.”

Gu Ya also spoke out.

As the incident unfolded, since the accusation of Su Yunjin seducing men was nothing more than a rumor, the onlookers stopped lingering on the matter.

They gradually dispersed from Su Yunjin’s home.

Everyone went back to their own affairs.

Su Yunjin, watching as the people slowly left, finally heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Ya, holding Su Yunjin’s hand, squeezed it slightly, reassuring her with his protective presence.

Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya.

Thinking back on the recent events, she appreciated that not only did Gu Ya not believe the rumors and suspect her, but he had been guarding her all along. Her heart warmed, and Su Yunjin turned to embrace Gu Ya.

Burying her little head in Gu Ya’s chest.

Su Yunjin suddenly felt that nothing could provide her with more security.

For the first time, Su Yunjin realized that Gu Ya was a man she could rely on.

Gu Ya patted his little wife’s back to soothe her.

“Yunjin, don’t be afraid,” assured Gu Ya. There wasn’t anything to fear with him around! No matter how big the issue, he, Gu Ya, would carry the burden, and his little wife only needed to seek shelter under his protection.

Gu Ya, a strong man in his own right, may not possess many skills, but protecting his little wife was something he excelled at. Initially, Su Yunjin thought that after the onlookers left, the incident would be over, but someone had gone to inform the Magistrate.

Not long after, the Magistrate himself came to their house.
