103 Her Intellect is being Traded?

Shengli and Xing came back after having lunch at another restaurant and returned back to her courtyard but Xing was actually troubled the whole time. She actually had written everything that happened that day to Shengli and he didn't talk about it till now. Why did that MingXue arrive at such conclusion?

Previously when they blamed her with Rijun, it was because of her ignorance. But this time, she was really lost and she herself thought she was being held as a hostage. How could they blame her now? But then again, Gu Lufen was kidnapped too and she refused to go back to her family knowing she'll be blamed. So this is how this world works - unfavourable to women.

She used to not bother about these things before. But now with Shengli beside her, she felt awkward that she's being blamed for something she didn't do, won't do ever. What if he started to believe these people, think like these people? What if he thinks I've lost my reputation too?
