"You are still so young and you are not a good person. You actually stole something!"

"Normally, he is a very ruthless person, but I never thought he would be so bold as to steal someone's things and even dare to sell them at their doorstep!"

"How could Widow Wang, who is such a capable person, raise such a daughter?"

"Who will dare to marry into their family in the future? Life will be unbearable with such a powerful sister-in-law!"

"It seems that the Wang family's incense will be cut off!"

Since it is none of their business, most people just want to watch the show.

Wang Qiulian's face flushed, and she pointed at Gu Feiwan and yelled:

"You're lying! You gave me all these things! You even gave me a gold bracelet!"

Gu Feiwan sneered: "Give it to you? What evidence do you have? I have no relationship with you, why should I give you a handkerchief? Speaking of the gold bracelet, I remembered that before I went out today, the red gold bracelet I usually wore was indeed missing. Now it seems that you stole this gold bracelet as well!"

Wang Qiulian was stubborn and sharp-tongued, but she was a child after all, and surrounded by so many neighbors, her voice was already tearful:

"How can you frame me like this? It was clearly you who gave me these things when you came to my house for dinner yesterday! I didn't steal them!"

"Do you have any evidence?" Gu Feiwan said loudly, "I went to your house for dinner yesterday, but I have no connection with your family in the past, and I don't think I will have any connection with your family in the future. Why would I give you such an expensive thing? Does every guest who comes to your house for dinner give you such an expensive gift? Is it because you are cute? Or is it because you are innocent?"

The onlookers burst into laughter: "This girl from the Wang family is famous for being hot-tempered. Whenever she gets a point, she will always argue with her own reason. She can't bear the word cute!"

"This girl is truly obsessed with money. She is even more annoying than a Pixiu. If she is innocent, then am I not just like a newborn baby?"

"Hahaha……"

"Madam, it's not possible that she stole your things!" said one of the onlookers.

Hope flashed in Wang Qiulian's eyes!

Finally someone spoke up for her!

Gu Feiwan turned his head and saw a handsome scholar, so he smiled slightly:

"Appreciate further details!"

The scholar shook his head a few times and said, "Although Wang Qiulian loves money, she has never been reported to have stolen anything. Her mother is a decent person. If she knew that she had stolen something, she would definitely break her legs. I don't think she would dare to do that!"

Wang Qiulian nodded vigorously, two lines of tears rolling down her cheeks!

The onlookers were silent for a moment, and then they changed sides:

"That's right. Although Wang Qiulian has a bad temper, her mother has always been upright in her conduct. Even if she is a little unruly, she will definitely not steal!"

"Madam, think about it carefully, maybe your gold bracelet fell somewhere!"

"Yes, a child like her wouldn't dare to steal such a valuable item!"

Gu Feiwan's expression was calm, he just stared quietly at the scholar who was speaking.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, the scholar raised his chin even higher;

"Hey, don't jump to conclusions so early! As far as I know, the Gu family's shop has always been honest and trustworthy. I believe their boss is no worse than Widow Wang..."

The owner of the clothing store immediately stepped forward to interrupt: "Don't be rude!"

The scholar took a step back, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "I... I don't mean to be disrespectful..."

Gu Feiwan raised his chin: "Let him speak!"

Upon hearing this, the scholar straightened his collar and rolled his eyes provocatively at the shop owner. After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"This lady is obviously a noble and elegant lady with unparalleled grace. It's impossible for her to make trouble for a child out of nothing!"

"You sour scholar, you're always beating around the bush when you say something. Is there anything you can say for sure? If you don't speak properly, I'll beat you up!"

"speak English!"

"If you keep showing off, I'll rinse your mouth with cat urine!"

The scholar waved his hands quickly: "Calm down! Everyone, listen to me carefully!"

"I think the truth is that this lady patronized Widow Wang's business. When she was dining at Widow Wang's house, the food tasted so good that she was very pleased with it. Moreover, Widow Wang was eloquent and she lost her guard. A person of such high status as the lady would change clothes after dining. I guess it was at this time that the lady accidentally dropped her valuables, which is the gold bracelet that Wang Qiulian mentioned just now!"

Having said that, the scholar raised his head and looked down upon the entire audience!

It was not until someone raised his fist in front of him that the scholar shrank his head, smiled and said:

"Normally, the lost items should be returned to the original owner, but everyone in the neighborhood knows that Wang Qiulian values ​​money like her life! If she has such a golden thing, returning it would be like taking out her heart! Everyone, do you think what I said makes sense?"

The people watching could not help but nod their heads as he spoke so clearly.

"What the sour scholar said makes sense!"

"So, Wang Qiulian didn't steal!"

"Although it's not stealing, you can't escape the charge of hiding the owner's property!"

"Alas, Wang Qiulian has ruined her reputation for a gold bracelet and a few handkerchiefs. It's really not worth it!"

"Not worth it? Look at the lady's attire, what is there in it that is ordinary? That gold bracelet must be priceless! Even if I sell you and me, it still can't compare to it!"

The crowd was talking about it, and the owner of the clothing shop felt bitter in his mouth and sighed heavily!

Wang Qiulian has no way out now!

He knew this scholar, who had studied for many years and barely passed the examination to become a scholar, but he made no further progress.

But he was also a well-known figure in Qingshan City. With the little knowledge he had, he was hired as a teacher for the children of many wealthy families.

Although his analysis cleared Wang Qiulian of the accusation of theft, he still confirmed the charge of concealing lost property!

Gu Feiwan had just arrived, so the locals might only believe a little bit of what he said.

Well, the neighbors at least believe what this sour scholar said to a certain extent!

He looked at Wang Qiulian and saw that Wang Qiulian's face was pale. It was obvious that she had come to her senses and realized that she was in a very dangerous situation!

Gu Feiwan stared at the scholar deeply, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Thank you, neighbor. I was a little rash just now. I shouldn't have said that this little girl stole. But she did take my handkerchief to the shop to sell it. My maid saw it and argued with her. The shop assistants can testify. If we go to her house now, we can find the gold bracelet I lost!"

Hearing that they were going to catch stolen goods, the crowd became excited!
