1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

After Guo Caixia left, Wen Li began to eat. Although Guo Caixia's mood had been affected, her appetite remained unaffected.

"Wen, the educated youth! Wen, the educated youth! Something's happened!"

Upon hearing Liu Xiu's anxious shouts, everyone opened their doors.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Guo, the educated youth, slipped and fell while getting some fresh air by the river. She's still with Dr. Wu; she's lost her baby!"

"If she's in trouble, she's in trouble. Why are you calling for Xiaoli?" Chen Yan wasn't gloating at this point, but Liu Xiu's tone just now was unpleasant.

"Everyone says that Guo, the educated youth, went to the riverbank because of the smell of mutton that Wen, the educated youth, made. She couldn't stand the smell. Some people say that Wen, the educated youth, ruined Guo!"

After speaking, Liu Xiu took two steps back warily, as if afraid of being beaten by Wen Li. "This wasn't me who said it! It has nothing to do with me!"

Wen Li frowned. The incident had just happened and the whole village was already buzzing about it. No matter how she thought about it, something just didn't feel right.

And what a coincidence, she was just stir-frying some mutton and Guo Caixia had a miscarriage? She used to go out and show off every day and nothing happened to her, right?

Lu Zechuan stepped forward and asked Liu Xiu, "Who found Guo, the educated youth, by the river?"

Liu Xiu, puzzled, exclaimed, "Of course it's Jiang, the educated youth!"

Wen Li and Lu Zechuan exchanged a glance and quickly figured out the key to it.

As everyone knows, Guo Caixia and her husband are at odds with Wen Li. Although Guo Caixia's miscarriage is not directly related to Wen Li, rumors are dangerous. If someone says that Wen Li did it on purpose, rumors can spread like wildfire, and Wen Li will be unable to clear her name!

People sympathize with the weak. Regardless of Guo Caixia's past reputation, the child in her womb is a living, breathing life!

"Shall we go take a look at the river?"

Lu Zechuan looked at Wen Li, who was thinking the same thing. "Chen, Li, please come with us!"

Chen Jiahao and Li Hong didn't want to get involved in this mess, but since Wen Li had spoken up, they, as the heads of the educated youth institute, couldn't refuse.

Everyone wasn't stupid. Considering Jiang Chen's attitude towards Guo Caixia, they made up their minds and followed him to the riverbank.

The place where Guo Caixia had the accident was easy to find, after all, there was still a pool of blood on the ground that hadn't dried yet. Everyone was shocked to see so much blood.

Lu Zechuan had witnessed how Guo Caixia had caused Jiang Yue'er to fall into the cesspool, and his first thought was to check the ground for anything that might make someone slip.

However, Jiang Chen was cautious and found nothing at the scene.

Lu Zechuan shook his head at Wen Li. Wen Li squatted down. There was still a faint smell of blood in the air, as well as a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

The scent was very faint, but her sense of smell was so keen that she detected it immediately.

"Wen, has Lu found out anything?"

"I smell osmanthus-scented hair oil on the ground!"

When Wen Li said this, everyone gathered around, but apart from the smell of blood, they couldn't smell the osmanthus hair oil.

"I can't smell it!"

"I didn't smell it either!"

"Wen Zhiqing, you're not trying to shirk responsibility by saying this on purpose, are you?" Yin Jiao's face still showed schadenfreude.

Wen Li gave her a cold look, and she curled her lip and rolled her eyes at Wen Li.

"Yin Zhiqing, since you insist that I'm shirking responsibility, then tell me, why should I be responsible for this? What does this have to do with me?"

Yin Jiao had the smug look of someone who had caught Wen Li red-handed.

"How can it be nothing? Everyone knows that Guo Zhiqing has been suffering from severe morning sickness lately, and you still insisted on buying mutton, which has a strong, gamey smell. If it weren't for you, Guo Zhiqing wouldn't have come to the riverbank, and if she hadn't come to the riverbank, she wouldn't have fallen. Don't try to walk away from this!"

Wen Li looked at Yin Jiao with a probing gaze. In everyone's impression, Yin Jiao was a brainless idiot, but what she just said seemed to be making things difficult for Wen Li, but it was clear and logical, and every sentence was meant to shift the blame onto Wen Li, which did not fit her brainless persona at all.

Sure enough, at first no one thought that Guo Caixia's accident was related to Wen Li, but after Yin Jiao's words, everyone's gaze towards Wen Li became subtle.

Chen Yan was furious at Yin Jiao's shameless words. "You're just being unreasonable! Guo, the educated youth, lives in the front yard, and Xiao Li lives in the back yard. Does she have to report to Guo, the educated youth, what she eats?"

Yin Jiao looked at her with an expression that said, "Everyone knows she and Guo, the educated youth, don't get along. Who knows if she did it on purpose?"

As Yin Jiao's number one lackey, Tian Xiang naturally went along with whatever she said. "Yin Zhiqing is right. Wen Zhiqing already harbored resentment towards Guo Zhiqing. Who knows if she did it on purpose!"

Wen Li slowly stood up, looking down at Yin Jiao with a condescending expression. "Whether it was me or not, let's wait until the person involved wakes up to say that! But... if I hear you barking again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

They found no clues by the river, so the others returned to the educated youth compound first, while Lu Zechuan and Chen Yan had not yet left.

Chen Yan looked at Wen Li with a worried expression. The gossip in the village was really bad for Wen Li. "Little Li, are you sure you didn't smell anything wrong? We really didn't smell any osmanthus hair oil!"

Wen Li's expression was firm. "I can't be mistaken. There's definitely something fishy about Guo Caixia's fall!"

"In that case, let's look for more clues. If all else fails, we'll wait until Guo Zhiqing wakes up. She was involved; she must know something!"

Wen Li nodded in agreement. Lu Zechuan and Qi Jun helped search the vicinity, but in the end they found nothing.

The group had no choice but to return to the educated youth compound for the time being. In the afternoon, when Wen Li went out, she was met with pointing fingers and whispers from the villagers. They all thought that Wen Li had done it on purpose because she had a conflict with Guo Caixia and caused Guo Caixia to fall.

They called her ruthless, saying she didn't even spare the children who weren't hurt!

Wen Li's open and honest expression only made everyone more disgusted with her. Although they only cursed her behind her back, Wen Li, with her keen hearing, still heard those vicious words.

It's obvious that someone is deliberately manipulating public opinion behind this incident; otherwise, with such a far-fetched reason, it's impossible to blame Wen Li.

Of course, there are only a few people who have a grudge against her, namely the male and female protagonists and the sycophants who admire the female protagonist.

Nobody knew she bought mutton. She ate mutton today on a whim, and nobody expected Guo Caixia to have such severe morning sickness. That person must have also acted on a whim. So the biggest suspect is only the male lead, Jiang Chen!

Now Jiang Chen has become the victim. He can both salvage his reputation and get rid of Guo Caixia's unborn child, while also ruining Wen Li's reputation. In her previous life, the original owner of the body gradually ruined her reputation, eventually ending up isolated and helpless.

Su Hao, the only one who spoke up for her, ended up being disabled and forced to return to the city.

Wen Li suppressed her inner turmoil and carefully considered how to find a breakthrough.

There was no one by the river at the time, and Jiang Chen had also cleaned up the evidence. Wen Li wanted to clear her name, and the breakthrough point was Guo Caixia.
