General, the lady escaped again

"No, I believe it." Ji Xiaowu said truthfully, shrugging her shoulders. "I felt it was not simple at the time, and I couldn't think of anyone else except her."

"You don't look surprised at all." Fang Chen asked puzzledly, "Just let it go like that?"

"So what if it doesn't count? I'm a weak woman, what else can I do to her? The most I can do is to embarrass her in the village." Ji Xiaowu said truthfully. It seemed that she had won today, but in fact, she had hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred. When people talked about the Liu family, they would inevitably mention her.

Isn't this a punishment for her?

"Public opinion always causes greater harm to women. Even if it is clarified, it is still a sin." Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen, "Why are you helping me? Don't you want to keep your distance from me and pretend that you don't know me?"

Fang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard Ji Xiaomu's emotional words, "I don't want to keep a distance from you, no... I want to keep a distance from you... but it's not..."

The first time, Fang Chen was so anxious that he was incoherent. He wanted to explain but the more he spoke, the more confused he became. In the end, he could only force out one sentence. "I never thought of being a stranger to you."

Whatever the reason, she had rejected him, but he had come to regard her as his responsibility.

Seeing Fang Chen's anxious look, Ji Xiaomu carefully analyzed the contradictions in his words and roughly understood what he meant. For some reason, her mood became cheerful and she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth. "Do you mean to keep a distance from me in front of others?"

"Yes." Fang Chen nodded. "No matter what, I offended you and you didn't want to marry me, but I can't just ignore you."

Ji Xiaomu's heart, which had just brightened up, instantly fell to the bottom when she heard these words. "To you, I am just your responsibility?"

"..." Fang Chen inexplicably felt as if he had said something wrong again.

"If that's the case, there's no need for that. I've already been an abandoned woman, and reputation means dirt to me. But since you care so much, since you helped me this time, how about we just let it go?" Ji Xiaowu knew that men in ancient times paid more attention to these things, but she would not let him take the responsibility for his whole life because of this, as that would not be fair to him.

Fang Chen frowned. Although he could say that and let it go, he just felt unhappy. "Why are you so resistant to me?"

Today he must know why she refused to marry him.

"I'm not resisting you!" Ji Xiaowu shook her head.

"Why do you always reject me?" Fang Chen didn't understand why she resisted him so much.

"I don't want to ask for a reward, and I don't want you to sacrifice your life just because you saw me..." said Ji Xiaoni. "You owe me a life-saving favor, and I will repay it, but you don't owe me anything. In the final analysis, it was me who neglected to take off my clothes without paying attention to my surroundings, and you saw my shoulder, so it's my fault, not yours."

"You reject me just because of this?" Fang Chen got a little angry when he heard what Ji Xiaomu said. Did she think that everyone would be like this?

"You saw the body of a strange woman, it was not your intention, it was an accident, and you will have to pay with it for the rest of your life. Do you think this is right?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen and asked. If this is his idea, then there is really nothing to say.

"..." Fang Chen wanted to say it was right, but it didn't feel quite right. However, that was what he was taught or what people around him thought.
