Chapter 1085: Gathering at Yuanlin Town

Although it was just a guess, Fu Zhiyao gave a reasonable explanation. Peanuts, as a new food, came from outside to the town where Chen Qiao lived, and since no one who ate them had any issues, the officials naturally did not associate her husband's death with them. Moreover, given Chen Qiao's poor family relations, the possibility of a crime of passion could not be completely ruled out. Additionally, because Chen Qiao had long been slandered, it nearly led to the situation where repeated accusations became an accepted truth. All these factors combined, leading to the ultimate tragedy.

Whether the past events were indeed as Fu Zhiyao described, Chen Qiao did not know the answer, but she found Fu Zhiyao's explanation very reasonable and was thankful to him for resolving the doubts in her heart. To express her gratitude, Chen Qiao placed a crystal clear, hexagonal snowflake in the palm of Fu Zhiyao's hand.

This snowflake was Chen Qiao's Grievance Snow.
