Chapter 973: Lin Miao Did Steal The Money

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gong Xin watched as the women’s gossip grew more heated by the second, her face darkening with each passing moment. Unable to hold back any longer, she stepped forward and snapped at them.

“You’re all talking nonsense! No one falsely accused Lin Miao of stealing the betrothal money—it’s a fact. Since that’s the case, she deserved to be held accountable for her actions and was arrested. What does any of this have to do with Gu Zi?

“And another thing—why should Gu Zi be obligated to visit Aunt Zhang Mei? Did you all conveniently forget how the Gu family treated her in the first place? Just to bring their adopted daughter back, they sent Gu Zi to the countryside as a stand-in bride. She was lucky Su Shen turned out to be kind. Otherwise, who knows how horribly she might have suffered? If it were me, I’d probably hate Aunt Zhang Mei to death, but Gu Zi didn’t even think that way! And now you’re blaming her instead?

“You people are so quick to twist right and wrong. And to think you’re the wives of military officers—supposedly women of honor. Yet here you are defending a thief like Lin Miao. I hope when she steals from you someday, you’ll be just as understanding!”

The group fell silent, recognizing Gong Xin as the daughter of a high-ranking officer—someone they could not afford to offend. They were all well aware of how close Gong Xin and Gu Zi had become lately.

Gong Xin always stood up for Gu Zi, and speaking ill of her in Gong Xin’s presence was bound to end badly. Worse, what if Gong Xin went home and reported this to her father? That could mean serious trouble for their husbands.

What puzzled them, however, was how the two had gotten so close in the first place. After all, Gong Xin had always disliked Gu Zi. Yet ever since Gu Zi left the compound and married into the countryside, their relationship seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
