Although the public still didn’t know whether it was true or not, they were still shocked to know that Jing Yunyao’s father had tried to kill her many times. Even her son and the Leng family were dragged into trouble. In that case, no one would be able to stand it. Therefore, as long as it was true, most people could understand Jing Yunyao’s behavior. There was cause for that.

What else could she do? Did she have to wait till her father killed her, her son, and her husband’s family? Who could tolerate that?

Since they couldn’t do that, they had no position to blame other people.

Anyway, if it was true, Jing Yunyao’s father was too cruel.

The clarification made it clear that Jing Yunyao had broken their family’s rules, but the public didn’t think she should be killed just because of that.

As a result, the majority didn’t think that Jing Yunyao deserved the consequences. Instead, they felt that her father was unbelievably cruel.

In reality, most parents would be protective of their children. They would rather suffer trouble than put their children in danger, unless their children had seriously broken the law.

Not many of them knew Jing Yunyao, but they felt that, as the Leng family’s daughter-in-law, she wouldn’t do something like that.

However, not everyone had the same idea, because it didn’t happen to them and only a few people had sympathy.

After all, there was no evidence to prove that Jing Yunyao’s father had really tried to kill her. Perhaps the Leng family said that just to protect Jing Yunyao.

Therefore, some people still criticized Jing Yunyao and believed that she was wrong.

Some people felt it was just fake news, and everything wasn’t true. Someone must have made it up to defame Jing Yunyao, or the Leng family. The Leng family wasn’t an ordinary family, so they had many enemies.

For example, other major families in the capital were always scheming against the Leng family.

There were positive and negative comments about that news, but the negative comments were a lot fewer than the positive comments. Not everyone was unkind and the Leng family had a good reputation, which was an advantage.

Those who left negative comments were afraid of the Leng family and the law, so they only talked about it with the people in their circle. They didn’t dare to say much on the Internet.

…

Jing Yunyao and the others didn’t leave the cultivation world until that night. During the day, Jing Yunyan woke up a few times, but Jiang Liluo knocked him unconscious.

Jiang Liluo and Si Jin stayed in the Leng family’s house for a day, so the Leng family prepared food for them. Jiang Liluo and Si Jin accepted their kindness. Although they wouldn’t feel hungry even if they didn’t eat, they would be more comfortable if they ate.

After Jing Yunyao and the others came out of the cultivation world, their phones could receive signals again. Both Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting saw a missed call from Wei Lingfeng. So Leng Shaoting called him back.

A while later, Leng Shaoting learned why Wei Lingfeng called them and became angry.

Because Leng Shaoting didn’t avoid Jing Yunyao and the others, they heard their conversation on the phone.

Jing Yunyao and the others quickly became unhappy as well.

It wasn’t a big deal for them, but it affected the Leng family’s reputation after all.

Jing Yunyao didn’t care about her reputation that much, but she was afraid that the Leng family might be affected.

Afterwards, Jing Yunyao called Master Leng.

When the news went viral, Master Leng didn’t call Jing Yunyao or Leng Shaoting, because Jiang Liluo told him that they were leaving to deal with something. Jing Yunyan also mentioned that their father had tried to kill Jing Yunyao more than once before, so Master Leng didn’t want to bother them.

Once the call was answered, Jing Yunyao apologized. “Dad, I’m so sorry for the trouble.”

Hearing Jing Yunyao’s apology, Master Leng understood that she heard the rumors about her, but he didn’t think it was a serious problem. “No need to apologize. We’re a family. I’m just worried about you and Shaoting’s safety.”

In fact, when Master Leng heard that Jing Yunyao’s father had tried to kill her many times before and that even Leng Shaoting could be affected, he was really anxious, even though Jing Yunyao’s father had already been injured by her.

He didn’t know whether it was true or not, but he felt it was highly likely.

“Shaoting and I are fine. No one can hurt us.” Jing Yunyao comforted.

“Great, great.” Master Leng was relieved.

“Oh, how about the two people I sent to guard the Leng family?” asked Jing Yunyao.

“They’re sitting in the guards’ room now. We don’t know whether they told the truth or not, so we didn’t invite them into the house. Will you blame me for that?” Master Leng asked. They were Jing Yunyao’s people, and Master Leng was worried that they weren’t treated well after he let them stay in the guards’ room.

“Of course not! I didn’t tell you beforehand, so it’s understandable that you’re suspicious. Anyway, we’re back now. We’ll be home within two hours. Let’s talk about the other things then,” said Jing Yunyao. Given what had happened, they had to rush back to the Leng family’s house as soon as possible.

Jing Yunyao didn’t ask who was caught by Jiang Liluo and Si Jin, because she knew it was Jing Yunyan who wasn’t at the Jing family’s house.

…

After hanging up the call with Jing Yunyao, Master Leng told the housekeeper to invite Jiang Liluo and Si Jin into the yard, but Jiang Liluo and Si Jin declined. They needed to guard Jing Yunyan and couldn’t leave.

In that case, Master Leng didn’t insist.

Leng Yuanzhen and the others also heard the rumors about Jing Yunyao before they came back to the Leng family’s house. So they called Master Leng and asked about it. Master Leng replied to them one by one.

Leng Yuanzhen and the others had sympathy for her, so they didn’t blame her for the damage to the Leng family’s reputation. It wasn’t Jing Yunyao’s fault.

Even Jiang Shuyuan didn’t criticize Jing Yunyao. Instead, she had some sympathy for her too.
