Chapter 126: Shocking News ( 1 )
“That’s good. If anyone dares to spread false rumors, the Lu family will settle accounts with them. It’s better to shut up and not bring trouble to yourself. Who doesn’t know how the Lu family dotes on their daughter?” Aunt Su said with a smile.

“Sister-in-law is right.” The neighbor nodded repeatedly.

“Okay, I still have things to deal with, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Since I have accepted a lot of things, I will share them with you.” Aunt Su said as she handed the neighbor some melon seeds and roasted nuts.

As she accepted the snack, the neighbor said, “I’ll make sure to remind others to stop talking nonsense.”

“That’s more like it.” Aunt Su nodded with satisfaction and entered the house.

She knew why the Lu family gave her so many snacks. If not for her to stop the rumor, what else would be the reason? Her sister’s husband was Chen Anwen’s maternal uncle’s cousin brother, so she can be said to be acquainted with the Lu family. As a family, helping them is what she should do.

With the help of the uncles and aunts, the rumor that Lu Jueyu plotted against Li Chenmo and snatched him away from Xiao Yiqing had undergone earth-shaking changes before noon.

As the sun sets, the topic that the villagers talk about during their leisure time has turned to the marriage of Xiao Yiqing and Yang Lichao. There is also the rumor about Xiao Yiqing, who wants to snatch Li Chenmo away from Lu Jueyu even after she did the deeds with Yang Lichao. In less than a day, Xiao Yiqing’s reputation was ruined and no one wanted to associate with her.

Xiao Yiqing knew nothing about this as she was locked in the room by Mother Yang. Although she shouted until her voice turned hoarse, no one came to help her. It seemed that everyone had accepted her new identity as Yang Lichao’s wife.

When Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo returned home, they heard the villagers talking about those matters. After washing up, the two of them hugged each other as they lay on the Kang bed.

Li Chenmo noticed that his wife was in a daze again, patted her back, and asked, “Wife, what are you thinking about?”

Lu Jueyu came back to her senses and said, “I just think people’s words are terrible. It can determine people’s fate. Although the speaker does not think too much about their words, the victim may lose their lives and future because of it. Words are a terrifying weapon that kills without shedding blood.”

Li Chenmo recalled his wife’s situation in the past two years, and his hold over her became tighter. He pulled her close, patted her back, and said, “It’s over. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”

Lu Jueyu buried her head in his chest and nodded, “Mhmm.”

Feeling his wife’s depressed mood, Li Chenmo sighed and said, “Go to sleep.”

Lu Jueyu closed her eyes and slowly fell into a dreamless sleep under Li Chenmo’s warmth.

At the same time, in another town far away from Xie Village, the Du family received a telegram from Du Jiawen. Father Du and Mother Du were shocked when they saw the telegram. They never imagined that something like this would happen to their future daughter-in-law.

Father Du and Mother Du were silent after reading the message. Although they like Huang Yuanfeng and have a good relationship with the Huang family, they will never let their son marry a tainted girl. What’s more, her current mental state is not stable. It seems that it is better to break off the engagement between his son and Huang Yuanfeng as soon as possible.

After weighing the pros and cons, they went to the next building and knocked on the Huang family’s door. After a while, the door was opened and a middle-aged woman appeared from behind the door. Seeing Father Du and Mother Du coming to her house so late, she was stunned for a moment and asked, “Sister-in-law, why did you come so late?”

Mother Huang let them in and closed the door. While motioning for them to sit down, she said, “Husband, Brother Du, and sister-in-law are here.”

Not long after, a man in his fifties came out of the bedroom and said in surprise, “Brother Du, why did you come to my place so late? Did something happen?”

Father Du hesitated for a moment, took out the telegram, put it on the table, and said, “Brother Huang, we received the telegram from our son. Take a look at it first.”

Father Huang was curious. After he sat down, he reached for the telegram. After he read the message, he looked at Father Du and said in disbelief, “This is impossible! How could it happen to my daughter?”

Mother Huang was surprised by her husband’s reaction and reached out to read the telegram. When she read the words ‘tainted’ and ‘mentally unstable’, her vision went dark and she almost fainted. Father Huang was startled by her and supported her quickly.

“Brother Du, sister-in-law, is this a lie? You must be joking with me now, right?” Mother Huang said tremblingly.

Seeing that both Father Du and Mother Du were avoiding her gaze,  Mother Huang pushed her husband away, took Mother Du’s hand, and shouted, “Sister-in-law, this is a lie, right? Answer me!”

Mother Du endured the pain of her flesh being pricked by Mother Huang’s nails and said, “Sister-in-law, calm down. No one wants this to happen to Xiao Feng, but…”

Before she finished speaking, Mother Huang interrupted her, “I will not allow your family to break off the engagement! Since my daughter followed your son to that place, your son must bear the responsibility for whatever happens to her. Don’t you dare to think about abandoning my daughter because of this incident. I won’t allow it!”

When Mother Du heard her words, her eyes darkened and she took her hand back from Mother Huang’s grip.
