Okay, I am MILDLY sympathetic to the wheelchair bound young miss, because she's absolutely right. Her lover was bought with wicked money, and she's legit sickly. However, she's part of the problem here since she believes the rumors and is in no way open to any but the worst possibilities.
As for how long our girl is going to be stuck there, what's this about when she grows up? I assumed, quite possibly incorrectly that she needed to be of age to be married. What is the deal with that?
@unime the rumors started after she was assaulted, but no culprit was caught. Presumably it was assumed that it was actually an illicit lover or some other victim blaming nonsense. Then rumors do as they will among those without any actual information, becoming grossly inflated as they are repeated with disgusted dramatic flair.
