Chapter 37 Rumors
"A year ago, there was an incident in the clan that was either big or small. I believe everyone has the impression that it was about my second brother's adopted daughter, Qianqiao, abusing a servant..."

As soon as Nangong Zhengli's conversation started, everyone's discussion sounded in the martial arts training ground.

"Qianqiao is notoriously pampered and willful. I think the Patriarch finally couldn't take it anymore and wants to expel her~"

"Hey, that's really satisfying!"

"That's not the case, Qianqiao is not such a person."

"When adults talk, children don't interrupt!"

"Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, what do you know, a child."

"Qianqiao's reputation is so bad, there are still people who speak for her, I think she has been bribed~"

"Hahaha, how much did you give? Tell us too, let us make a fortune~"

Nangong Zhengli didn't stop it just to see everyone's reaction, but he didn't expect Qianqiao's reputation to be worse than he imagined.

Turning their heads to look at Qianqiao who was still calm and composed, Nangong Zhengli and the others were both sad and distressed.

In fact, Qian Qiao's heart is not feeling well at this time. It is one thing to receive the memory of the original owner, but it is another thing to experience it personally.

When she heard the few but real voices of defense among the many slanderous voices, Qian Qiao showed a relieved smile.

Looking down in the crowd, it turned out to be those students from the Qi Refining Lecture Hall. Although these people were like a drop in the ocean in the vast Nangong family, those voices still gave Qianqiao the courage to continue standing here.

"Quiet."

Nangong Zhengli felt that it was almost done, so he raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and slowly scanned the crowded crowd with his lowered eyes.

"Listening to your comments just now, even I find it unbearable, let alone a child who is only 15 years old, but I have no right to criticize you, because I used to be one of you..."

Having said this, Nangong Zhengli paused slightly.

"I thought that I was qualified as the head of the family. At least I acted fairly and strictly, never bent the law for personal gain, and never wronged anyone. But I was wrong, I was just deceiving myself and others. Since when did I become only I listen to one-sided words, but in fact, I just need to do a little trick to get the truth, why did I believe it at the beginning? What do you think is the reason?" Nangong Zhengli threw the topic to everyone, but did not get the answer he wanted.

"It's a rumor!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Nangong Zhengyang took the elder brother's words.

"I'm the same as you, even more so. I picked up Qianqiao and I wanted to adopt it myself. But have I fulfilled my responsibility as an adoptive father? Obviously not, why? On the one hand, I have always been a human being. I'm lazy, I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but on the other hand, it's because I listened to those rumors. It's not terrible for one person to make rumors. What's terrible is that when everyone is spreading rumors, those rumors will become facts. You guys Have you ever wondered where this rumor came from? What if Qianqiao was replaced by me, or my elder brother? Do you know the consequences?"

Nangong Zhengyang didn't mean to ask everyone, so he continued.

"I don't think you will know, because I don't know either... I don't know that there is a moth hidden in this family! He deceives the upper and lower, spreads rumors, and tries to confuse the public. He operates secretly, buys servants, Attempt to kill and silence!"

Speaking of this, Nangong Zhengyang suddenly turned his gaze to Zhong Changde, the elder who was already pale, sitting beside him, with a wicked smile on his lips.

"Elder Miscellaneous, do you think such people should be arrested and eliminated quickly?"
