Mrs. Ji happened to hear the argument between the two when she was passing by. Her somewhat cloudy eyes immediately rolled around, and she quickly came closer and said: "Wen family, I have long told you that your daughter-in-law has a wrong mind, and as expected, she actually stole something."

She clearly wants to ruin your reputation and make you unable to hold your head high in front of everyone in the future. She is so evil-minded."

"..."

Xiang Jiuling almost laughed angrily when she heard this.

It was still rare for someone to throw dirty words in front of her face. She glanced at Mrs. Ji and knew that people like her would only add insult to injury. Then her eyes returned to Wen Xi: "So you believe what she said?"

"I didn't say that."

Wen Xixiang actually just wanted to ask her clearly and ask her to return those things. After all, he was a military commander and an upright gentleman. How could he tolerate such a thing happening?

Seeing the tense situation between the two of them, Old Mrs. Ji on the side was still provoking: "Hey, the Wen family, if you don't do this, look at her unclean hands and feet, you can't tell she will do something extraordinary in the future.

When something happens, you might as well give her a letter of divorce as soon as possible, and I'll find you a hard-working, capable and innocent girl in the neighboring village, what do you think?"

"We will handle this matter ourselves without any trouble."

Wen Xi looked impatient and obviously didn't want to hear these words.

Mrs. Ji's words were so harsh that Dabao on the side glared at her hatefully.

Dabao wanted to tell him about the deserted village and the horse bandits, and that his stepmother was injured on her hand, but before he could say anything, he received Xiang Jiuling's eyes.

But if you don’t say it, others will misunderstand it.

Dabao is just a child and can only hold it in, but thinking about this, he can't help but feel aggrieved for his stepmother.

He used to think too badly of his stepmother, but she was actually very good. She would cook for them when they were hungry and would find ways to save him.

Although he was young, he also sensed something was wrong at that time. The horse bandits obviously wanted to kill him. To them, children were trouble.

Erbao looked at Dabao's aggrieved expression strangely: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, mother is not a bad person."

In the end, Dabao could only squeeze out this sentence.

The sky was getting dark, the wind was gradually blowing, and the cool breeze actually penetrated my clothes.

Old Mrs. Ji still refused to leave, and she said a few words unwillingly, "Oh, what do children know? You guys should also be careful and stay away from people with such bad conduct, otherwise she will lead you astray.

of."

"It's getting late."

Wen Xi said quietly, he was in an extremely irritable mood now, which he had never felt before.

"Okay, I'll go out for a walk and stretch my muscles. As for the Wen family, you have to think about it carefully."

Mrs. Ji left, but she didn't move her muscles. She was obviously in a hurry to spread rumors.

The women in the village like to gather together to talk about household matters when they have nothing to do. They say it is household matters, but in fact they are just gossiping.

As soon as Mrs. Ji saw a few people gathered together, she happily walked over and told them in a mysterious manner that she overheard the Wen family quarreling over Xiang Jiuling's theft. The women's eyes widened in shock.

How come, there is such a thing!

After all, everyone saw Xiang Jiuling's ability, and no one believed what Mrs. Ji said. But when they heard that Mrs. Ji's vivid description didn't look like a lie, they couldn't help but believe it.

This was passed down from one person to another, and in less than one night, the news spread throughout the entire team.

The next day, Xiang Jiuling felt the power of this rumor. Everyone in the village looked at her with blank eyes, and some even wanted to spit on her.

"Oh, it's not shameful for such a handsome person to steal other people's things."

Another villager sneered: "I'm afraid he not only stole things, but also stole people quietly. It's just that we didn't know."

"In my opinion, this kind of person doesn't deserve to stay here. It's better to drive her out to avoid embarrassment!"

"Yes, now we don't have enough food and clothing. Don't let her steal the only things she has when the time comes. That won't be worthwhile!"

As soon as these words came out, many people agreed, and Xiang Jiuling became the target of public criticism.

Dabao was very angry when he heard these words. He shook his head in front of Xiang Jiuling and explained: "No, my mother is not that kind of person. She did not steal anything. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh, Mr. Wen, you are young and don't understand the thoughts of adults. This woman is being nice to you because she actually wants to gain your trust and find another opportunity to sell you off. Think about it, you are not

Her own child, how could she treat you wholeheartedly?"

Mrs. Ji sighed as she spoke: "Hey, you are pitiful too. If your mother were still alive, she would never let anyone bully you like this."

Others couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this. At the same time, they became more and more disgusted with Xiang Jiuling. They felt that she was a vicious woman with a vicious heart. Such a vicious stepmother should divorce her as soon as possible.

"No, you are talking nonsense!"

Hearing them insult Xiang Jiuling with every word, Dabao was so angry that he wanted to cry, but no one else believed him.

On the other hand, Xiang Jiuling was very calm, watching the show as if she were an outsider.

At this moment, the village chief who happened to be passing by couldn't help but said: "Okay, stop talking. How can you say these things in front of the children? These are all things without evidence. Don't talk nonsense."

The villagers did not dare not listen to the village chief's words, and in the end they had no choice but to break up unhappy.

Thinking of Dabao Steel's efforts to protect her, Xiang Jiuling wanted to touch his head, but thinking that Wen Xi still misunderstood her, she couldn't help feeling sulky in her heart and her eyes were a little dim.

He seemed to think that she had evil intentions and wanted her to return those things.

In fact, Wen Xi was also suspicious of Xiang Jiuling because of what happened before. When he asked her where she got those things, she didn't explain, so he was also angry.

He is her husband, is she not even willing to tell her this? So what does she think of him in her heart?

Wen Xi still remained suspicious, but he was not inattentive. He was observing carefully when Mrs. Ji spoke just now.

Dabao's little face kept frowning, wanting to refute, looking very confused.

He knew Dabao's temperament, so they must be hiding something from him.

After thinking about it, Wen Xi decided to find out the matter and called the three children over while Xiang Jiuling was not around.

"Dabao, did something happen when you and your mother were together before?"

Dabao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his little head immediately dropped, showing an embarrassed look, but he just shook his head and said nothing.

He wanted to say it, but he had already promised his stepmother. This was a secret between the two of them and could not be told to others.

You must do what you promised, so no matter how entangled in his heart, Dabao did not tell the secret.
