She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 137: Ruining Reputation, Creating Something Out of Nothing
When asked, Chen's face immediately showed some concern and sighed.
"Yiyi has not left her room for the past few days since she returned to Tacheng. I thought she was not feeling well and wanted to ask a doctor to see her, but she refused."
The lady who asked the question smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Bai came back from the farm specially to celebrate Old Madam Bai's birthday. Maybe she was tired on the way. She just needs to rest for a few days."
"Haha." Bai Lixuan suddenly laughed strangely, "She is not tired at all, she is obviously afraid to come out."
This statement really aroused the curiosity of others, and they all looked over.
Chen gently scolded, "Xuan'er, don't talk nonsense."
"Mother, I'm not wrong..." Bai Lixuan raised her voice and stretched out her tone, "My eldest sister came home alone in the middle of the night, her clothes were messy..."
Li Jingwan frowned when she heard this, and just as she was about to walk out, a figure quickly walked over.
Upon closer look, it turned out to be Bai Yiyi.
"Bai Lixuan, what do you mean?!" Bai Yiyi's face turned red, "How dare you slander me!"
Seeing her appear, Bai Lixuan's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. She came at the right time.
Bai Lixuan immediately put on an aggrieved look, "Eldest sister, I also heard it from the servants. You know I never dare to say bad things about anyone."
"Butler Bai went to the farm to pick you up and took you back home. It was supposed to take less than two days, but you took three days. When you returned home that night, the servants saw that your clothes were messy and your hair was untidy..."
"Shut up!" Bai Yiyi was furious. "I told you, I met the Xirong cavalry on the road. I hid until dark before I dared to leave. I wasted time on the road."
Bai Lixuan shrank back, looking innocent, "Eldest sister, of course I believe you, but others are gossiping about you, saying how could you return to Tacheng alone, and why did the Xirong cavalry let you go?"
These words sound like an excuse for Bai Yiyi, but in fact they explain the reason why she returned to Tacheng safely alone.
As for the inside story, the thing that is most easily associated with a woman is naturally chastity.
Sure enough, when the others heard this, there were strange guesses in their eyes.
Li Jingwan sneered. With Bai Yiyi's simple and hot temper, it was no wonder that she was suppressed by Bai Lixuan and her daughter.
Bai Yiyi bit her lip and said, "I was able to come back because Butler Bai and my maids at the farm risked their lives to protect me. They..."
Thinking of the scene of that day, her nose felt sore and her eyes rolled back in her sockets.
Although she returned to Tacheng, she couldn't be happy at all. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of the murdered Butler Bai and Li Jingwan who led away the Western Rong cavalry for her.
Butler Bai should have been enjoying his old age, but he died tragically. Li Jingwan was kidnapped just as she found her brother, and now her life or death is unknown.
She felt very regretful and blamed herself. If she had not returned to Tacheng, nothing would have happened to them.
In this situation, she didn't have the energy to deal with others, so she stayed indoors.
It was not until today, which was Old Madam Bai's birthday, that she forced herself to go out. As a result, when she walked in, she heard Bai Lixuan's slander against her.
"Sister, I'm glad you came back." Bai Lixuan looked very sensible. "It must be because of your great blessing. God has blessed you to escape safely from the Xirong cavalry."
But as the others listened, they became more and more unconvinced that Bai Yiyi could escape and come back on her own.
When Chen saw the expressions on everyone's faces, she felt very proud. Bai Yiyi's reputation was finally ruined.
From now on, she will be a woman who has lost her virginity, and people from wealthy families will look down on her. When the time comes, she will consult Bai Hong and let him marry her to his relative, so that he can still keep her in his hands.
The dowry left by her mother Tian, as well as the entire Bai Mansion, naturally belonged to them and their daughter.
"Yiyi, you look a little pale, are you feeling unwell?" Chen asked with concern, "Otherwise, go back to your room and rest first. I'll have the maid call you for the birthday banquet later."
Bai Lixuan continued, "Eldest sister, you should go and rest first, don't get angry and make yourself sick. Don't worry, if anyone dares to gossip about this again, I will definitely give him a slap in the face."
Bai Yiyi looked at them singing the same tune, feeling very aggrieved, angry and anxious.
If she left now, they would definitely continue to talk nonsense, but if she stayed, she would not be able to argue with them and would fall into their trap instead.
If only Xiaowan were here, her heart would ache. She knew Xiaowan would definitely protect her like her mother.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she saw a woman walking towards her quickly and slapping Bai Lixuan in the face with her hand.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. Bai Lixuan was hit so hard that her head tilted to one side. She covered her face and turned around to scream, "Who are you? How dare you hit me?!"
Li Jingwan shook her wrist, "Miss Bai, isn't that what you said? Anyone who dares to slander the young lady will be slapped. You have been slandering the young lady just now, shouldn't I hit you?"
Chen didn't recognize her and angrily said, "Where did you come from, you lunatic? How dare you hit my daughter? I will tear your face apart."
She stepped forward to attack, but Li Jingwan dodged nimbly, leaving Chen empty-handed.
Bai Yiyi was already shocked when she heard this familiar voice, and when she looked at her face, she immediately burst into tears.
It was indeed Li Jingwan.
"Xiaowan." She rushed over and hugged Li Jingwan, crying with joy.
"Xiao Wan, you're okay... I'm glad you're okay, I... I miss you so much, I have nightmares every day..."
When I saw Li Jingwan again, I felt surprised, guilty, and aggrieved.
She is the only one who is wholeheartedly protecting herself and can stand up for herself.
Bai Yiyi's crying made everyone even more confused.
Bai Lixuan's eyes were gloomy, "Mom, this bitch was brought here by Bai Yiyi. She asked this bitch to beat me."
Chen shouted to the maid, "Go call the servants, call someone over!"
Li Jingwan patted Bai Yiyi and comforted her softly.
"Yiyi, I'm fine, don't worry. Don't cry yet, didn't you say you wanted me to give them a warning after we return to the city?"
Bai Yiyi really stopped crying, tears welled up in her eyes, she looked at her in confusion and sobbed, "Ah?"
Li Jingwan smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will definitely do what I promised you, just wait and see."
She asked Bai Yiyi to stand aside, glanced around, and then said loudly, "Everyone, I am a friend that Miss Bai met on the way back to Tacheng."
"Three days ago, she encountered the Xirong cavalry on her way back. Several of her grooms were killed, but she hid in the woods and escaped. We happened to meet her when we passed by, and we went back to Tacheng with her. I can testify that Miss Bai is innocent."
A woman's reputation is the most important, and she must first restore Bai Yiyi's reputation.
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen interrupted her, "She clearly went back home alone, you weren't with her at all."
"Madam, we had other important matters to attend to that night. We separated from Miss Bai after entering the city and had no time to visit you. It just so happened that we learned that Old Madam Bai was having a birthday, so we came here specially. As a result, we heard you guys confusing right and wrong."
Chen was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath. She prided herself on her youthful and beautiful appearance, but someone actually called her "Auntie".
"You...you bitch, I'm the mistress of the Bai Mansion, how dare you call me that." She pointed at Li Jingwan, "You were bribed by Bai Yiyi to give false testimony for her. She has long lost her chastity..."
"Mrs. Bai, please be careful with your words!" Li Jingwan's face darkened.
She was pretty and looked gentle, but she looked intimidating when she frowned. Chen felt a little scared and had a feeling that she was not an ordinary person, so she didn't dare to say anything.
"You are the mistress of the Bai family, the mother of Miss Bai, but you deliberately slandered her reputation in front of everyone. This is the first time I have seen a mistress like you..."
"Although you want to take all the dowry and property left to Miss Bai by her biological mother, your greed is too ugly. You and your daughter usually suppress Miss Bai, say bad things about her, and send her to the farm to be locked up. Now you even dare to use the reputation of a girl to throw dirty water? You are really a vicious person."
To deal with such people, there is no need to pretend to be nice to them. You should directly expose their true intentions so as to catch them off guard.
With Li Jingwan around, Bai Yiyi felt extremely at ease. No matter how harshly the Chen mother and daughter said, she was not afraid.
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Chen's face changed, and she was really anxious. "You are the one throwing dirty water. When did I ever covet Tian's dowry? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!"
But the others were not fools. They all knew that Bai Yiyi had become different since Chen was promoted to the position of legitimate wife, and all the news that came out were bad things about her.
For example, now, Chen's mother and daughter are dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing gold and silver, while Bai Yiyi is dressed simply, which clearly shows that they are treated differently.
Noticing the change in everyone's eyes, Bai Yiyi became anxious and forgot the reservedness she had pretended to have in the past. She revealed her true face and pointed at Li Jingwan's nose and cursed.
"You are a bastard who deserves to die. You are in cahoots with Bai Yiyi. She has been dirty for a long time. What reputation do you have? You said you are in the same group as her. How can you prove it?"
Li Jingwan suddenly raised her right hand. She thought she was going to be slapped again, so she quickly dodged.
Li Jingwan just shook her hands and said, "I came here today to announce something to you all——"
She deliberately glanced at Bai Lixuan, and then said, "The Xirong cavalry that Miss Bai met on the road a few days ago were actually specially arranged by Bai Lixuan and her daughter to murder Miss Bai..."
"You bullshit!"
"fart!"
Chen and Bai Lixuan shouted together.
Not only were the other guests stunned, but even Bai Yiyi was confused. How were the Western Rong cavalry related to the two of them?
But she knew that Li Jingwan had her own way and she didn't need to worry.
Li Jingwan curled her lips, "Like Second Miss Bai, I also heard it from others. They said that she contacted the Western Rong cavalry to guard Miss Bai on her way back to the city..."
"Nonsense!" Bai Lixuan roared, "I didn't do it, it's all nonsense!"
"You said you didn't do it, how do you prove it?" Li Jingwan said back, "Second Miss Bai, please show us the evidence to prove that I'm wrong."
Bai Yiyi understood and couldn't help but smile.
Li Jingwan was imitating Bai Lixuan's statement and deliberately made up a reason for her to prove.
Bai Lixuan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Li Jingwan put away the smile on her face and her eyes changed, "Can't prove it? Then let me tell you."
"You have always wanted to drive Miss Bai away. Knowing that she would return to the city that day, you specially arranged for the Xirong cavalry to intercept her. As a result, Miss Bai escaped. When your plan failed, you spread rumors that her reputation was ruined."
"Don't worry. I know what you want to say: why were you able to contact the Xirong cavalry? In fact, you hired someone to pretend to be them, so you can put the blame on the Xirong people. Anyway, the Xirong people will come to the border of Sheng Dynasty to rob recently."
"You have extorted a lot of money from Miss Bai over the years. You have the money to find someone to pretend to be a Xirong cavalry. Why do I know this? Because I know someone from the Xirong military camp, and he said that no one crossed the border to rob in the past few days."
"There were so many carriages on the road, and the disguised Xirong cavalry only robbed Miss Bai's carriage. Who would be so cruel to harm her? The answer is self-evident."
Bai Yiyi was stunned when she heard this. If she didn't know the truth, she would have really believed it to be the case.
She knew from Zhuangzi that Li Jingwan was eloquent, but she didn't expect her to be so good at it. She could create something out of nothing and call a horse a zebra.
She must learn more from Li Jingwan in the future!
Sure enough, after Li Jingwan finished her speech, everyone looked at Chen's mother and daughter with suspicion.
It is an indisputable fact that Chen's mother and daughter treated Bai Yiyi badly. Coupled with the righteous statement of Li Jingwan, an outsider, many people think that this is the truth.
Chen finally realized how Bai Yiyi felt when she was slandered by him every day, and she was so angry that her body was shaking.
"You...you made it all up, you lying bitch..."
Bai Lixuan was also furious, but she didn't dare to confront Li Jingwan, "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense, arrest her and send her to the authorities, she is slandering us, send her to the authorities!"
"Yes, yes..." Chen came to her senses, looked around, and said angrily, "Where are the servants? Are they all dead? They haven't come for so long!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man's voice came from the side, "What are you doing?!"
Li Jingwan looked over and saw the old lady in the lead had gray hair but looked energetic. She was holding a tiger-head cane in her hand and was followed by maids and servants. She looked very imposing.
Needless to say, this person is Old Madam Bai.
Bai Lixuan walked over as if she had found a savior, and knelt at her feet and cried.
"Grandma, my mother and I were originally concerned about my eldest sister and wanted to protect her from rumors. But she hired someone to beat me up and even spread rumors that we were harming her."
"Grandma, Li Xuan would never do anything disrespectful to her elder sister, but she has been slandered like this. Please help me."
"Grandma, that's not true." Bai Yiyi said quickly, "They were the first to spread rumors that I had lost my reputation, and Xiaowan is speaking for me."
When Old Madam Bai heard them talking, she did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Jingwan.
Li Jingwan stood tall with her head held high, her expression calm, and bowed to her, "Junior Xiaowan, greetings to Old Madam Bai."
She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, the knowledgeable Mrs. Bai could tell at a glance that she must be of extraordinary status.
Old Madam Bai nodded in return.
Bai Lixuan was dissatisfied, "Grandma, she is a liar, you should arrest her and send her to the authorities as soon as possible."
"No!" Bai Yiyi immediately stood in front of Li Jingwan, "She is my friend, no one is allowed to arrest her."
Chen played the victim, "Mother-in-law, Yiyi has been out for a few days. I don't know where someone came from to spread rumors that Xuan'er and I were going to harm her."
"With so many guests watching, you have to make the decision for us. Otherwise, how will we, my mother and I, face others in the future?"
After she said this, she pretended to cry twice, pressed her handkerchief to the corners of her eyes, and looked very aggrieved.
Madam Bai frowned, "You know there are so many guests here, yet you are still making a fuss here. It's not proper!"
