Because her true appearance was exposed while watching the play that day, Qingyin originally thought that her appearance would definitely be revealed. However, she deliberately stayed at home for several days and did not hear any news at all.

On the other hand, Wu Yong, the second young master of the General's Mansion, would visit Minister Lin's Mansion every few days, pursuing Qingyin in a very open and conspicuous manner.

Qingyin refused Wu Yong's invitation several times, which made the uninformed people outside think that Qingyin was being tactless.

Interesting things rarely happen in the capital. When everyone heard that this top playboy from the General's Mansion had fallen for the young lady from the Lin family who had returned from the countryside, everyone became very interested.

"Hey, have you heard? The second young master of the General's Mansion, Wu Yong, has actually fallen for the eldest daughter of Minister Lin's family!" At a noodle stall on the street, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard stroked his beard and enthusiastically gossiped to the people eating noodles around him.

Most of the people who come here to eat noodles are regulars and generally know each other. Some people were puzzled when they heard the middle-aged man say that.

"Isn't it a beautiful story that the young master of the general's mansion fell in love with the eldest daughter of the minister's mansion?" the carpenter in the jacket asked in confusion.

"No, no, no, this young lady from the Minister's mansion is different." Looking at the puzzled carpenter, the middle-aged man who spoke narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously.

Unable to contain his curiosity, the carpenter asked again, drawing another round of eager eyes. The middle-aged man then explained, "The eldest daughter of Minister Lin's family is certainly not a lucky one. Do you know Young Master Lin Nanxu? He's a truly remarkable person, both intelligent and outstanding..."

The others, suspicious, interjected, "Why are you talking about Miss Lin and Young Master Wu's relationship, and then about Lin Nanxu?"

The middle-aged man paused, giving the man who had interrupted him a disdainful look. "When I, Old Hu, speak, of course it has implications. If you want to listen, then listen carefully. What's the rush? You can't rush things!"
