The Qian family thought it over carefully and realized it was indeed the case, so they agreed.
They immediately ran to the entrance of Medicinal Food Hall and knelt there, begging to see Zhao Qingya.
Then, without waiting for Zhao Qingya to come out, they repeated the debacle in Locust Tree Gully over and over again.
They even claimed, "She probably took our young daughter in revenge when she left" and so on...
Zhao Qingya's reputation was ruined instantly.
Even without the accusation of "stealing" children, the tale of a wealthy young lady being abducted to a poor village elicited much pity, sympathy, and... utter contempt.
It was Zhao Sulan who paid the Qian family to do her bidding.
She thought this would shame Zhao Qingya into leaving.
