The maid finally came to her senses, "It's all over the docks, the news spread instantly."
Leng Yu Yan was utterly perplexed. She had just arrived; how could such rumors already be circulating?
Thinking of how Ye Yiheng's ship had docked early, could it have been his doing?
Because she had once told Mrs. Zhao to spread rumors, was he now treating her with the same tactic?
Leng Yu Yan felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
Suddenly, several voices came from outside the courtyard.
Elder Mrs. Zhang, suppressing the matter of the rumors, pulled Leng Yu Yan inside.
Laughter from outside got closer, and soon, the owners of those laughs also entered the room.
It was Ms. Qu leading Aunt Yan and her four children into Elder Mrs. Zhang's room.
They paid their respects to Elder Mrs. Zhang, but their eyes inevitably fixed on Leng Yu Yan's face.
"Everyone please sit," Elder Mrs. Zhang glanced at them and patted Leng Yu Yan's hand, "Nannan, sit as well."
