Xiao Yi chuckled, seemingly pleased with Nan Wusi's trust in him. He solemnly said, "Sisi, just believe me that I will never harm you or the General's Mansion."

"Hmm." Nan Wusi looked at Xiao Yi and nodded heavily.

The next day, for some reason, news spread that Nan Wusi had made clothes for brothel girls to participate in the courtesan competition.

This news immediately sparked discontent among many noble ladies, who felt that the customized slots they had fought so hard to secure had been reduced to the same level as those of prostitutes.

This led many noble ladies to gather in front of Nan Wusi's Dream Clothing Shop, demanding an explanation from her.

When Nan Wusi learned of this, she simply explained that Mengyifang had never claimed to only make clothes for nobles. Anyone who paid the appropriate price could become her customer.

Dream Clothing Shop is just a ready-made clothing store and does not differentiate between customers.

Nan Wusi also said, "Women in brothels are still women. As long as you are a woman, you have the right to pursue beauty. I will never look down on anyone's desire for beauty. In fact, I believe that it is precisely because everyone has this persistence and pursuit of beauty that we can become better. And Mengyifang is willing to provide services for any girl who wants to become more beautiful."

"Beauty should not be divided by ethnicity, age, or status, and I believe that the beauty provided by Dream Dress Shop belongs exclusively to every distinguished guest."

Some of the noble ladies who had initially expressed reservations were reassured after hearing Nan Wusi's words, but a small number of them were still unwilling to accept it and thus cancelled their custom-made orders from Mengyifang.

Nan Wusi did not stop her. She did not think she had done anything wrong. If someone could not agree with her point of view or did not want to become a customer of Mengyifang, she would not stop them.

Moreover, the original reservation slots required a deposit, but Nan Wusi refunded all of them, as she didn't want to cause trouble over such trivial matters.

For the next two weeks, Nan Wusi made custom clothes for the customers of Mengyifang while continuing to select new cosmetics for Beautiful Life.

But what she's most concerned about right now is a major event that's about to happen in the capital.
