"Have you heard? Wu Cuilan's daughter-in-law's belly is carrying a child that's not her son's."
Gossip, it seems, can quickly make the rounds anywhere.
Just like now, as soon as Wang Guihua said this, it immediately drew a lot of curious glances.
"Auntie, are you serious?"
"Of course, it's true. My eldest daughter heard it. It was Hehua who said it herself."
Then Wang Guihua recounted the whole gossip story in detail.
Apparently, a month ago, a few young kids went up the mountain to collect firewood and stumbled upon Yang the Third secretly meeting with Hehua. Hehua was crying, complaining about her hard life, and asking Yang the Third to come up with a plan since the child in her belly was his and not Jiang Beihua's.
The kids didn't understand what they were saying and didn't think much of it. They only brought it up by chance last night. When the adults questioned them closely, they discovered this shocking secret.
