The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 609 - Chapter 609 Chapter 609 Who is so malicious

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Who is so malicious? Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Who is so malicious? In the village, once the Magistrate saw that most of the villagers had arrived, he began to speak slowly in front of everyone, “I have gathered everyone here today, and I presume you all know why? Indeed, I have called you all here today for the matter concerning the third son’s wife from the Gu Family, Mrs. Su.”

“Magistrate, I heard that Mrs. Su was slandered. Is it true?” someone in the crowd asked.

The Magistrate looked in the direction of the voice and nodded, “Exactly, the young man just now is right. The third son’s wife from the Gu Family was indeed the victim of a smear campaign. By now, both Mrs. Su and her husband have uncovered the truth of the matter, and as the Magistrate, it’s my duty to clear Mrs. Su’s name before all of you here today. I also ask that after today, no one should spread rumors about Mrs. Su without due consideration.”

Curious about the truth? Someone in the crowd continued to ask, “Magistrate, who was so malicious as to spread rumors and frame the third son’s wife of the Gu Family?”

“Yes, Magistrate, who framed the third son’s wife?” another person echoed with the question.

Even if nobody had asked, the Magistrate would have explained the situation to everyone.

“Please, everyone, be patient. I will explain all the concerns you have,” he said, calming the crowd.

Only after everyone had quieted down did the Magistrate begin to speak, “This incident was caused by a man from the Su Family village named Fan Wenxuan, who spread false rumors. Fan Wenxuan attempted to make unsolicited advances toward Mrs. Su, but a kindhearted gentleman passing by saved her. Having failed and feeling humiliated, Fan Wenxuan harbored thoughts of retaliation, not only slandering Mrs. Su but also the gentleman who had intervened to help.”

Once the crowd learned the truth, they were all clicking their tongues in astonishment; it was hard to believe that such a shameless person existed, especially one who was a learned scholar.

He had completely disgraced the face of scholars.

The onlookers were outraged by Fan Wenxuan’s actions, but Mrs. Feng, standing to the side, was not convinced, “Magistrate, I’m afraid you’ve only heard one side of the story from this Mrs. Su. How can you believe her without evidence? Aren’t you afraid that Mrs. Su has deceived you?”

Mrs. Feng could not accept that Su Yunjin’s rumors were cleared so easily, nor was she agreeable to the fact that the Magistrate had ordered her to be brought here.

As she was tied up on the way here, she did not escape ridicule. It was maddening. Why had the Magistrate not believed her when she spoke before, saying she had no evidence, yet now he believed Su Yunjin and her husband’s mere words? Humph, with so many witnesses, she demanded to see clear evidence.

If Su Yunjin and her husband could not produce evidence, then it would all be a lie, and it would mean Su Yunjin had indeed seduced men and lost all decency.

How could Su Yunjin not see through Mrs. Feng’s thoughts? Not waiting for the Magistrate to explain on her behalf, Su Yunjin addressed Mrs. Feng first.

“Evidence? Fan Wenxuan himself has admitted to spreading the rumors and already made a formal apology in front of the entire Su Family village. Isn’t that enough to prove that the allegations were false?”

Su Yunjin’s words left Mrs. Feng speechless. Su Yunjin continued, “Now the whole Su Family village knows Fan Wenxuan was spreading lies. If anyone doubts this, they are welcome to inquire within the Su Family village.”

As things developed, the crowd watching had long been convinced of Su Yunjin’s innocence, “The third son’s wife, we believe you. Can’t we all see what kind of person you are?”

Gu Ya and Su Yunjin had a strong and loving marriage! Gu Ya was handsome and capable, and his wife was not blind. How could she neglect such a good man of her own and seek unworthy suitors outside?

Everyone believed Su Yunjin, and Mrs. Feng’s face turned black with displeasure in an instant.
