After flaunting their affection outside, Li Nuo and his wife returned to the Song Residence.
Since some people liked to spread rumors, it was time to shut them up with facts.
Why should his wife endure such indignity?
She liked poetry, so he gifted her poetry.
One poem wasn't enough, so he gave her a whole book.
Given his wife's literacy, she couldn't see what was so good about these poems.
So, Li Nuo opened a bookshop and deliberately set the price of the poetry collections very low, accessible to those who understood their value.
In Chang'an, everyone knew "Phoenix Seeking His Mate," so the "Beautiful Lady Collection" couldn't fall behind.
With this series of moves, no one spread rumors about him and Phoenix anymore.
His relationship with his wife had also grown stronger.
It was only when they walked back to the courtyard that their tightly clasped hands finally let go.
Even Song Mu'er had noticed the change between them over this period.
She was very pleased with it.
