Old Mrs. Su fiercely glared at her daughter-in-law and said bitterly, "If not your mother, then who? She is in charge of managing the household, and with the incident involving Su Li, our family's reputation is utterly ruined outside."
The rumors outside were awful; they all said that the Su Family must have treated this eldest daughter harshly, otherwise, why would she publicly make those statements?
Undoubtedly, a few families, bearing a grudge against the Su Family, played a part in fueling the rumors. Many people didn't care about the truth; they only believed the version they wished to believe.
These days, the Su Family was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, every master's mood in the household was terribly sour, and the servants, treading lightly on tiptoes, feared they would become targets of displaced anger.
