The two lived in the same house, and only after returning to their own territory did they begin to talk.

Zhang Mingxuan exclaimed with considerable surprise, "I never imagined that Young Master Wu would actually be a young lady!"

Liu Jiangqing: "I didn't expect it either." After all, judging from Wu Yiming's skillful demeanor, she must be a seasoned businessman. He had inquired and found that Wu Yiming was already in her twenties. It was truly unexpected that she was a woman.

Zhang Mingxuan: "I think Miss Wu is of marriageable age, but I have never heard of any family in the capital that allows their daughter-in-law to go out and do business."

Liu Jiangqing hadn't thought about Wu Yiming's marriage, but now that Zhang Mingxuan had brought it up, he felt quite uncomfortable. Logically speaking, he should have thought that Wu Yiming's actions were against the rules and that it was inappropriate. But in fact, he admired Wu Yiming's behavior very much.

Liu Jiangqing said, "Our findings aren't very accurate either, since many things can be faked. Perhaps Miss Wu is still young and unmarried."

Zhang Mingxuan thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible.

Wu Yiming must have some connections to have built such a successful business. Her husband's family might not allow it, but some powerful and influential people who dote on their daughters might. It's just unknown whose daughter Wu Yiming is, since there are no powerful or influential people with the surname Wu in the capital.

However, there is another possibility: "Do you think this Miss Wu might be using a fake name? After all, I've never heard of any Wu family gaining power in the capital. Miss Wu's extravagant spending must mean she has someone strongly supporting her."

Liu Jiangqing didn't like Zhang Mingxuan talking about Wu Yiming, so he said, "Perhaps, let's not talk about Miss Wu anymore. The teacher assigned an essay, and you went home for a few days. Have you finished it?"

Zhang Mingxuan: "I've finished writing. Your article is well written. Please take a look and see if there are any omissions, so that the teacher won't scold me tomorrow."

Then their conversation turned to academics.

Wu Yiming's gender could not be hidden as expected.

Wu Yiming's background seems mysterious, but she does have frequent dealings with the Imperial Household Department. If she were a man, it wouldn't matter, since most shops in wealthy and powerful families are in the hands of women. Sometimes, once you find out about the Imperial Household Department, you know you shouldn't ask, so you just let it go.
