"Do you intend to keep these things a secret forever?" Pei Mianman retorted. "Since they're going to be discovered sooner or later, it's better for us to reveal them proactively than to wait and see who exposes them. That way, we can still control things a bit."

"Controllable?" Zuan vaguely understood.

Pei Mianman nodded: "Yes, haven't you noticed that although almost everyone in and around the capital is discussing this matter, not many people are criticizing Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue?"

“Of course there are. Many people say they are shameless and have used very harsh language.” Zu’an has been paying close attention to various opinions these days.

“I spread those rumors,” Pei Mianman said calmly.

Zuan: "???"

“Even if I don’t spread it, others will say the same things, so it’s better for us to spread these opinions ourselves, take the initiative, make the opinions more extreme, arouse a lot of people’s resentment, and make many people subconsciously defend them,” Pei Mianman replied.

"An online army?" Zu An was immediately shocked. He never expected that Pei Mianman of this era would be so self-taught in these methods. If she were in the modern world, she would definitely be a marketing genius.

Pei Mianman didn't quite understand what the online army meant, so she explained, "Because these days, those stories have been deliberately exaggerated. The first day's stories were three parts true and seven parts false, but the stories of the last two days are probably only one part or even half part true. In fact, many people have begun to calmly think about the whole thing and are beginning to doubt the authenticity of these stories."

Zu An looked strange. The idea that Yan Xuehen deliberately invited him over at night to discuss cultivation, dressed scantily, and even drugged and seduced him was simply outrageous.

The recent book about the moon in the clouds is also quite exaggerated. Although the content is sensational enough to attract a lot of attention, truly intelligent people have calmed down and gradually regarded it as a smear campaign by the publisher.

Pei Mianman continued, "In this situation, I sent those people to deliberately make some extreme remarks, which is why they were able to arouse the public's rebellious mentality. Even if people really wanted to criticize or attack the two women's remarks, they would be drowned out by those extreme remarks and no one would care. At this point, many people in the public have begun to understand them and even speak up for them. When the time is right, I will have those people secretly push things along with the current, and everyone will gradually accept this matter."

Zuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Manman, you're a genius with that move!"

Pei Mianman dodged his embrace and snorted irritably: "With your intelligence, I don't believe you couldn't think of these things. You're just too caught up in the situation to see clearly, and you're also too afraid of taking risks."

Zuan remained silent; he was indeed afraid that things would spiral out of control and lead to loss.

"Don't be too happy yet. I can help you handle public opinion, but how the two of them will accept this in private is what you should be worrying about," Pei Mianman said coldly.
