An Hao said this as she grabbed a coil of rope and pushed through the crowd, striding out vigorously.
Immediately, a burst of discussion erupted among the crowd, "Look at An Hao, she must have suffered a great injustice! Otherwise, she wouldn't go as far as to hang herself!"
"Exactly, did you hear how excessive Yang Erdan's words were? An Hao's mother is already dead; why drag her into this?"
"It's too much. Really too much. It might well be that they're deliberately bullying An Hao."
Public opinion began to shift, and Yang Yonghua started to feel afraid.
In truth, she had seen An Hao enter and then leave the grove – the whole affair took no more than five minutes; five minutes was just enough time to walk in and walk out, not enough to do anything else.
It was out of jealousy that An Hao hadn't given her the headdress, coupled with the longstanding grudge between their families, that she had deliberately acted this way.
