Gu Zi observed the crowd, recognizing many faces from Chen Village. Their expressions were cold and sour, giving her an instinctive feeling that their presence spelled trouble. She quickly descended the stairs, the dawn barely breaking, the chill of the early morning not yet dissipated. Pulling her coat tighter around herself, she sought to ward off the cold.

Just as Gu Zi stepped into the courtyard, she hadn’t even opened the gate when she was spotted by the crowd outside. Among them was the gossipy woman from Chen Village, a character Gu Zi had become acquainted with during a previous temple ceremony. The woman’s reputation for stirring up trouble and her knack for manipulation had left a deep impression on Gu Zi.

Previously, Gu Zi had asked Aunt Zhang to keep an eye on this woman. Aunt Zhang discovered that the gossipy woman was attempting to manipulate Su Jing in order to secure a partnership with Su Shen. The woman was relentless in her pursuit, but to her dismay, Su Jing had left Daqing Village before they could exploit her, leaving them frustrated.

From Aunt Zhang, Gu Zi had also learned crucial information. The gossipy woman’s husband was one of the key members of the cunning group from Chen Village. They were eager to strike a deal and skim off some profits from the pig farm. The gossipy woman, eager to earn merit with her husband, was left bitterly scolded when Su Jing left, causing her status at home to plummet.

Upon seeing Gu Zi, the woman shouted loudly, drawing everyone’s attention to her. It seemed as if she believed this confrontation could help her regain some ground. “The Su family can’t hide forever. Someone has finally come out. We must demand an explanation from her. Don’t you all agree?”

Several villagers from Chen Village echoed the woman’s sentiment, their gazes fixed on Gu Zi with ill intent. Others simply watched, waiting to see what would unfold. Gu Zi, unsure of what explanation the woman sought, approached the gate to better understand the situation. At that moment, Aunt Zhang burst from the crowd, pointing accusingly at the gossipy woman and defending Gu Zi.

“You troublesome hag, always picking on others! What does the village’s power outage have to do with the Su family? You’re like a wild dog, always barking nonsense. You tried to sow discord between Su Jing and Gu Zi at the temple, and now you’re blaming the power outage on the Su family. What other lies do you have up your sleeve? Now that everyone’s here, why don’t you spill them all at once? Let’s see what kind of wild dog you really are!”
