Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 435 - 374 He dug a huge pit_3

"I am your aunt, why can’t I take care of you?" Quan Haiyun twisted her expression upon hearing Xiaonian’s words, her eyes fixed tightly on Xiaofeng, "And this woman, who is she and why are you defending her?"

"Haiyun, I know her. She is the goddaughter adopted by your elder brother and sister-in-law, the rural wife of Young Master Gu," a lady accompanying Quan Haiyun approached and said to her.

"So you are that shameless rural woman who used every trick in the book to marry Young Master Gu," Quan Haiyun looked at Xiaofeng, "With a face like a vixen, you obviously aren’t a good woman."

The skin so tender, the hands so delicate.

Isn’t it said that rural women have rough hands and coarse skin from farm work? The woman before me has such smooth skin and a fine figure, her eyes sparkling, she doesn’t look like she’s from the countryside at all.

Xiaonian wanted to step forward to refute, but Xiaofeng pulled her back and herself took a step forward, her face bearing a smile, sweet and beaming.

At this moment, she was the target of public criticism, how could she let Xiaonian rush forward before her.

Everyone gazed at her smiling face, somewhat mesmerized.

But they quickly looked away, they definitely wouldn’t admit that they were briefly dazzled by the other’s presence just now.

Xiaofeng raised her eyebrows, her smile lingering as she looked at Quan Haiyun, "Madam, you say I’m not a good woman, have I stolen your money, or have I been seen here hitting someone or stealing a man?"

Listening to her shameless questioning, Quan Haiyun’s face instantly fell, "Truly shameless, how can such words be spoken! If you were a good woman, you wouldn’t be clinging to Young Master Gu with your children. If you were a good woman, you would have left here and gone back to your little county town right now. I’m just saying, you are from the countryside and you will never belong here, nor will this place ever belong to you."

The more Quan Haiyun spoke, the more justifiable she sounded, "My Xiaonian is still a child, look what she has become following you, disrespectful and unruly."

Yes, just like that.

Xiaonian used to not be like this; it was only after this rural woman came that Xiaonian changed.

"Pooh." Xiaonian couldn’t listen anymore, "You stop slandering my sister, Aunt, let me tell you, my parents have acknowledged her as their daughter, she is my sister. If you are my elder, just walk away, stop meddling in my affairs."

She has always been this way, and it has nothing to do with her sister.

"Xiaonian, I am also doing this for your own good. You don’t see the difference between her status and yours. Elder brother and sister-in-law too, what were they thinking adopting such a goddaughter, isn’t this just making us the Quan family a laughingstock?"

At this, looking at Xiaofeng, "Your abilities are really not small, not only did you hook up with Young Master Gu, but you also got my elder brother and sister-in-law to adopt you as their goddaughter."

Xu Haiyun stepped forward a few paces and sneered at Xiaofeng, "A goddaughter is just a goddaughter, it’s not for real. Su Xiaofeng, this is not your place, you better go back to your own little county town."

I don’t know what the elder brother and sister-in-law were thinking; they have their own children, if you’re adopting a goddaughter, do so, but why adopt a country girl?

This is clearly making the Quan family a joke.

"Sorry, I don’t know you, and I don’t have to listen to you," Xiaofeng, looking cold, still managed a faint smile, "Since everyone knows now that I am Ye Cheng’s wife, the young madam of the Gu Family, there’s no need for me to introduce myself."

"Actually, I can understand why you all have such nasty things to say about me—let’s be honest, it’s just jealousy. Many of you might be more accomplished or come from better families than I do, but Ye Cheng didn’t even glance your way; instead, he married me. Naturally, I can understand your sour grapes."

Xiaofeng’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but when she spoke, it was as if her voice had a kind of magic, allowing everyone present to hear her clearly.

Everyone listening felt like they were on the verge of vomiting blood.

"What do you mean no need for introductions? She really thinks she’s the Young Madam of the Gu Family. Her two children aren’t even Mr. Gu’s. Like the Gu Family would actually let her through their doors."

It’s said that she’s even staying with the children at the Quan Family’s place now, definitely because the Gu Family won’t let her return. So she had to temporarily reside with the Quan Family.

"How shameless can you be, have you and Mr. Gu got married? Did you have a wedding ceremony? Seems like not, no one here attended Mr. Gu’s wedding," Quan Haiyun said upon hearing Xiaofeng’s words, his face turning ashen.

Her words are sharp, it seems she really has some tricks up her sleeve.

"I’m not the one who said this, but I have to thank you all," Xiaofeng thought and laughed lightly, "Actually, Ye Cheng and I didn’t plan to go public with our affair. I just wanted to spend a few days with the children at my godparents’ house and then leave. It was you who cemented my status as the Young Madam of the Gu Family, without you, people still wouldn’t know who I am. Your publicity is even better than what a wedding ceremony could have achieved, don’t you think I should thank you all?"

If nobody else brought it up, she honestly wouldn’t have mentioned it herself.

Suddenly, Xiaofeng realized why Ye Cheng said he would hold a wedding ceremony for her.

Dammit, Ye Cheng, that bastard, might have deliberately leaked the news that they were already married.

All to make her personally admit that she is his wife, the Young Madam of the Gu Family.

He dug a huge pit, and she naively jumped right into it.

Realizing this, Xiaofeng didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.

In other words, from the moment she left home for the Imperial Capital, she naively fell into the huge trap Ye Cheng had set for her.

He watched as things unfolded step by step and did not intervene but instead came to coax and tempt her.

And she just fell for it foolishly.

She...

Hearing Xiaofeng’s smug and triumphant tone, many felt like vomiting blood.

Turns out they had been inadvertently giving her free publicity for days.

Yes, these past few days their topics of conversation were almost exclusively about this woman, discussing how she and Mr. Gu were already married, fueled by the presence of wedding photos that left no one doubting the truth of the matter.

Just like that, they believed and helped her spread the word.
