Then I will also go find some storytellers and arrange some of your scandals.
Then let the servants of the family go all over the capital to talk about it, tell people when they see it, and spread it to you so that the whole city knows!
When I see it, who is embarrassed and whose reputation is ruined on the street!"
"hiss--"
As soon as this method was announced, many of the gentlemen present took a breath and looked horrified.
What a cruel method!
It's just murder without blood.
Everyone knows that rumors are like a knife, and three people can become a tiger.
A lie told a thousand times becomes true.
If Chu Yuanqi really does this and publicizes the "scandalous things" of these rich people throughout the capital, even if it is all fabricated false news, as long as more people hear it and spread it from ten to ten, some people will believe it.
Isn't this how Xiao Lingyue's reputation has been ruined?
Everyone in the capital said that she was cold-blooded and cruel, and that she single-handedly killed her parents' family, and that she was responsible for her fate. From her concubine to her biological father to her biological grandfather, she was the victim of everything.
It is also said that she can seduce people, is very scheming, and has plans for King Yi... all kinds of nonsense rumors are piled on her.
Even people who had never been in contact with her were prejudiced against her when they first learned that she was "Shen Wan".
This is the lethality of rumors.
But what about actually?
No one cares what kind of person "Shen Wan" is.
Everyone was just watching the fun and treating these rumors and gossip as a source of conversation.
This is what happens to these wealthy daughters of aristocratic families.
The same goes for those so-called well-informed ladies.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyue didn't take the rumors to heart, and she didn't care about her own reputation. If it were any other woman who valued her reputation, she would have been crushed by these rumors long ago. The matter of proving her innocence with death would not be possible. Never uncommon.
Several daughters were frightened by Chu Yuanqi's words, and took a step back with pale faces: "You...how could you do this?"
"Chu Yuanqi, are you crazy? You used such a vicious method to ruin our reputation!"
"I really didn't realize you were such a vicious person!"
Chu Yuanqi only thought it was ridiculous: "I'm cruel? Then who do you think you are? Isn't that what I said is what you are doing now? Believe in others, slander and frame up, spread rumors, and get a bad reputation! You all do things right. It’s over, you still have the nerve to say I’m cruel?”
"Isn't it the same for you yourself?!" the daughters said angrily.
"It's not us who ruined Shen Wan's reputation. She had a bad reputation to begin with. Didn't you believe the rumors and break off the engagement with her? Why are you pretending to be a good person now?"
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Chu Yuanqi's heart.
