Xue Lan felt utterly humiliated as she clutched her tattered clothing, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what to do; all she wished was for this to be a nightmare.
"Oh my heavens, isn't that the daughter of Xue Commander? Such a good girl, how could she have been ruined by those ruffians?"
"How could they do this to such a fine young woman? They've destroyed her reputation!"
Hearing their words, Xue Lan could no longer hold back. She cried out desperately, "I didn't do anything! I'm innocent! They only tore my clothes; they didn't do anything else to me!"
Xue Lan's voice was hoarse as she tried to defend herself.
"What? They? It seems there was more than one! How pitiful!"
The onlookers were quick to seize on the scandal; after all, there's no harm in enjoying the drama.
"You filthy woman, spreading lies! I’ll kill you!"
Xue Lan couldn't bear the insult and stood up to confront the woman. But in doing so, she inadvertently revealed herself completely.
"Oh no, this is scandalous!"
The women present, accompanied by their men, gasped and quickly covered their husbands' eyes. Yet some men couldn't resist stealing glances through their fingers.
Realizing her blunder, Xue Lan quickly crouched down, using her hands to shield her chest. Her face burned with embarrassment; she wished she could disappear into the ground.
In no time, the scandal of Xue Lan being assaulted by thugs spread like wildfire, embellished with every retelling. With this as leverage, Yang Qinghe's decision to break off their engagement went smoothly. After all, the Yang Family held a prominent position in society; how could they marry such a woman?
After the engagement was called off, Xue Commander was furious. However, those thugs seemed to have vanished without a trace; no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any leads.
Though Xue Lan suspected Yu Suihuan was behind it all, she had no evidence to prove it.
Moreover, she had been confined at home by Xue Commander, not allowed to step out of the door even once. Xue Commander’s intention in keeping her locked away was, in fact, to protect her. After all, the storm had not yet passed, and stepping outside now would only make her the subject of ridicule.
Yu Suihuan and Jie visited the Potala Palace, where they felt a profound historical atmosphere amidst the resplendent gold and brilliance. Every statue of Buddha and every mural within the palace held an air of mystery for them. Standing on the top platform of the Potala Palace, they could overlook the entire Lhasa City. The Lhasa River shimmered under the sunlight, sparkling with glistening points of light, truly a sight to behold.
Feeling tired from their exploration, they found a small restaurant to taste Qingke Wine and Butter Tea. The Qingke Wine was rich and flavorful, carrying a unique fragrance. After sipping the Butter Tea, they felt a warm sensation enveloping them.
During their break, they chatted happily with guests from all corners of Ba Fang. Observing the diverse crowd and listening to their various stories made them feel enlightened in an unexpected way.
As night fell, Yu Suihuan and Jie strolled along Barkhor Street, the most bustling commercial street in Lhasa. On both sides of the street were shops selling various handicrafts and specialty foods. While indulging their eyes with delightful sights, they selected some souvenirs to bring back for their friends.
Throughout this journey, Yu Suihuan and Jie experienced the weight of history within the solemn Potala Palace. They also immersed themselves in the local customs and culture on the streets of Lhasa. In front of Jokhang Temple, they witnessed devotees prostrating themselves with deep reverence; each movement was filled with respect and faith.
There is still so much beauty in this world; we must have the courage to face difficulties and the determination to overcome them. No matter what setbacks we encounter, we must persist in moving forward.
