The Bai family's neighbor to the east, surnamed Li, were a decent family, and the two daughters-in-law got along well with Lin Ping'er. However, the western neighbors, surnamed Zheng, also seemed fairly decent, the rumors spreading through the village pertained to this Zheng family.
It seemed the fourth Miss from the Zheng family, Zheng Giugiu, had testified that it was Bai Ruozhu who had asked her to call San Lang for help that day, completely denying that he had invaded the people's homes, and blaming everything on Bai Ruozhu's schemes!
Upon hearing this, the villagers found it hard to believe and questioned Zheng Giugiu as to why she hadn't testified in favor of Bai Sanlang or exposed Bai Ruozhu earlier. Zheng Giugiu replied that she thought it was just a matter of passing a message and had left to work on needlework with her close friends right after, which is why she wasn't at home at the time. Otherwise, she would have definitely testified.
