Seeing Jiang Lu so determined, everyone began to persuade Bai Fendou: "Fendou, since Jiang Lu is willing to make such a vicious oath, she probably didn't trick you."
"That's right. If Jiang Lu had really tricked you, she wouldn't have been so angry earlier."
"Yeah, no one would do such a thing. You must have misunderstood her."
"I think you misunderstood Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu is actually quite nice."
Jiang Lu had been living in this courtyard for over ten years, and people had some understanding of her. While her mother-in-law, Aunt Zhou, might have done something like this, Jiang Lu probably wouldn't.
What good would it do her to spread this story around?
Bai Fendou's reputation is already in tatters, and how could their marriage possibly remain intact?
Obviously, it couldn't.
