"That's enough, stop crying." Father Liu waved his hand annoyedly.

"Father, you must help me." Liu Xinyue held Father Liu's arm.

Father Liu sighed. "Now the rumors outside have changed. As long as we make them believe it was that evil creature meeting the man in private, you'll be fine."

"But..."

"But what, do you want to take the blame?" Father Liu scolded her with a black face. "That evil creature is originally not our Liu family's daughter."

Liu Xinyue was of course happy in her heart. But in order to make Father Liu completely follow her lead, she couldn't reveal her real emotions.

Liu Xinyue nodded after a long time. "Father, Qingqing has changed so much. Was she just pretending before?"

Liu Xinyue had a worse guess in her heart.

That she came from another book like her... or crossed time and space to this world. In this book, the female protagonist Qin Ling came here through time and space.

She is more like the former than the latter.

If she was indeed a modern time-traveler, it would be much more difficult to deal with her than these ancient people.

She didn't mean to target Liu Qing, though. She just wanted to live a good life. In this world, reputation was life, so one of them must sacrifice herself.

This one couldn't be her.

"I know. You're not going out for a few days, stay at home; and don't go to find that bastard, either."

"Father, I'm still a little worried."

"Come on, don't you trust your father? I'm not gonna hurt you. Leave this matter alone and I'll see to it."

"... Yes."

Liu Xinyue left full of worry. Father Liu said he would help her deal with this matter, but she always felt something was not right.

–

The rumors in the village were divided into two sides.

One side believed it was Liu Xinyue who had a private meeting with man. Because she was beautiful, and it seemed normal for her to do so.

The other side thought it was the unimpressive Second Young Lady, namely Ming Shu, who had done it. As there's a saying goes that mute dogs bite people.

Father Liu should take the credit for such a situation.

Ming Shu ate and drank all day. Because of what Ming Shu said at breakfast that morning, Father Liu didn't dare to find her for trouble again, fearing that the lies might be exposed or something similar.

Three days later, at midnight...

Ming Shu was about to go to bed when a sound came from the window.

She stared at the window for nearly a minute, but no one came in. The noise kept sounding and even became faster and faster.

Ming Shu fell into bed, covered her head with the quilt and went to sleep.

But the noise continued.

Ming Shu was kept awake and even became a little hungry.

She turned over to get out of bed and walked to the window, pushing it open.
