"I admit that I listened to rumors and did wrong things before."
Chu Yuanqi said coldly: "That's why I want to make up for it. Shen Wan and I broke off our engagement not because of her bad reputation, let alone the reasons you think! She and I are still friends, and she even saved my life. !
So, I know exactly what kind of person she is, and I can’t repay her enough for saving her life!
I just can't stand how you all don't understand Shen Wan at all, and she has never offended you. Why are you talking behind her back, mocking her, and throwing dirt on her?
I will leave my words here today!
If you dare to say it, I dare to return to you what Shen Wan went through as it is, so that you can also taste the taste of being chewed and slandered!
Everyone can stand and talk without pain in their backs, and they don’t know the pain until they are stabbed with a knife.
I'm too lazy to tell you any big truths.
If you think these rumors about Shen Wan are nothing, then try it yourself and see which of you can be clean among the rumors in the city! Whose reputation can withstand such damage!
Do you really think that you are a white lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained?"
Several daughters: "..."
Many young masters from aristocratic families: "..."
Everyone was so shocked that they dared not speak. Looking at the angry and vicious Chu Yuanqi, no one dared to challenge the authenticity of his words.
Don't talk about these rich girls who have not yet left the court.
Even the young masters of the aristocratic family and the many ladies present who heard the dispute fell silent.
Such a thing as reputation.
Although it cannot be seen or touched, there are only a few who can really not care about it.
An unmarried woman hopes to have a good reputation so that her future marriage will go more smoothly.
The married lady also hopes to have a good reputation and be respected by others. The concubines will not dare to offend her, her husband will respect her more, and her children will admire her. Even when she walks out of the house, she will receive a lot of approving glances.
Men also value reputation.
People with bad character and a bad reputation, whether they are men or women, will be ostracized and disliked by others.
This has nothing to do with status.
Because even the emperor hopes to have a good reputation as a wise king, which is even related to the will of the people, which shows the importance of reputation.
Chu Yuanqi's words were addressed to those wealthy ladies, but everyone else also heard them.
The entrance to Ganquan Palace became quiet for a while.
Xiao Lingyue looked at Chu Yuanqi in slight surprise, not expecting that he would say such a thing for her.
Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Tan and others looked embarrassed, and the ladies who had been talking a lot also closed their mouths, with more or less embarrassed expressions on their faces.
They all felt as if Chu Yuanqi had pointed their noses at them and scolded them, and they were embarrassed and speechless.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Aunt Zhuqing wanted to change the subject: "Please don't stand at the entrance of the palace. Why don't we go into the palace first..."
