Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The crowd of onlookers and students grew more curious, eager to learn the details of the unfolding drama. Witnesses among them began recounting the entire incident, shifting blame onto Qin Zhenzhen.
Voices rose in criticism:
“Why would you use a wet handkerchief to wipe a book?”
“You should have been more careful and not used so much force!”
Qin Zhenzhen maintained her innocent facade, feigning ignorance of the consequences of her actions.
“I was sweating, and I absentmindedly used the handkerchief to wipe it. But the more I wiped, the worse it became…”
Honglian, frustrated and angry, realized that she had to go all-in to salvage the situation. She spotted the arrival of two men and knew she had to act swiftly.
With the growing crowd’s attention on her, she exclaimed, “If you want to compensate, ask the owner of the book!”
She turned to address everyone, sharing her side of the story.
“I was entrusted by my dear sister to return this book to its rightful owner. Since the owner is a student of West Mountain College, I intended to deliver it to the gatekeeper instead.”
“But I never anticipated that this reckless girl would cause such a mess.”
“I can only leave this worthless book with the gatekeeper, or you can bring out the owner to settle this matter.”
Honglian handed the book over to the gatekeeper, and one of the two men present inquired, “Young lady, who is the owner of this book?”
It was these two men who paid Honglian to do this.
They were here to help her.
Honglian added. “The second page of the book has the name written on it, and
Su Bin is the name. This book belongs to him!”
At this moment, some people recognized Honglian and started to whisper among themselves.
“She seems to be the most popular girl at Yihong Courtyard, Honglian!” “Not seeming like it. It is her for sure!”
“No wonder she doesn’t look like someone with a proper background!”
“Wait, she said that she gave the book to her good sister, so her good sister is also a girl from the Yihong Courtyard?”
“How can a poor scholar like Su Bin have the money to go to such a place?”
“West Mountain College explicitly prohibits students from visiting brothels. She is trying to set up Su Bin, isn’t she?”
So someone asked Honglian, “Who is your good sister?”
Honglian said sadly, “I won’t say the name. She passed away a few days ago, don’t mention my scars any more…”
Honglian squeezed out two drops of tears and was about to leave in the wagon.
“What is going on?”
Everyone started to gossip between themselves.
Qin Zhenzhen seemed startled at first, but then she questioned Honglian loudly.
“What did you say just now? You said that Su Bin’s name was written in this book?”
Honglian nodded. “Yes, that was Su Bin…’
Qin Zhenzhen slapped her angrily. “Nonsense! The two words written in the book were not Su Bin!”
“Those two words are written like dog’s bite. I didn’t even see what they were!” The onlookers were all very surprised, wondering why this chubby girl was so excited.
“How dare you hit me!” Honglian was suddenly slapped, and the left side of her face swelled up. She rushed forward and wanted to give it back to Qin
Zhenzhen.
“I am hitting a shameless woman like you!” Qin Zhenzhen slapped her on the right cheek again.
Honglian’s cheeks became swollen.
The two men had asked Honglian to leave, but the chubby girl still hit her.
They were definitely going to help Honglian in this way..
