The words from the people around grew increasingly offensive, and Cai Xian's expression became more and more devastated.
Originally a strong woman, two decades of high-pressure life had long stretched her nerves taut, like a bowstring ready to snap.
She looked at Jiang Lai with reddened eyes, her lips trembling.
She clearly hadn't done anything, all she wanted was to earn a good reputation, fulfilling her parents' dying wish for her to live a blameless life.
Admittedly, this wish was filled with some of the selfish decay of the older generation, but it had become Cai Xian's obsession.
She respected the elderly and protected the young, feeling confident in her conscience.
Now, her parents-in-law were looking at her with disgust and disdain, her son and daughter-in-law insulted her with greed and anger, and neighbors of over twenty years mercilessly defamed her.
Was it truly her problem, or was there something wrong with the world?
