The murmurs grew quieter, mainly because they were afraid that Cen Xiao would come after them.
Among the crowd, a woman who heard these words was deeply shocked. This woman was Wang Mengyun, who had previously been engaged to Lin Shikang.
Wang Mengyun could hardly believe what she was hearing: Cen Xiao's wife, Yang, was actually Lin Shikang's ex-wife, Yang!
Cen Xiao could have any woman he wanted, so why would he want a divorced woman? But seeing how seriously they were talking, Wang Mengyun thought it was probably true.
Wang Mengyun got married at the beginning of this year, becoming the second wife of Gu Minghua, the Earl of Yongchang in Kyoto. Gu Minghua is a full twelve years older than her.
She had no choice but to accept the arranged marriage. She loved Lin Shikang, and breaking off the engagement was not her wish. She didn't blame her parents for using her as a tool to revitalize the family; she only blamed Yang Cui for ruining Lin Shikang's future and her marriage!
No matter how delicious the food at the Star Gazing Tower was, she wasn't in the mood for it. She needed to find Qiu Mingxuan to confirm whether this Yang was indeed the same Yang!
Qiu Mingxuan was quite surprised by Wang Mengyun's sudden visit.
"I heard that Madam Cen is Lin Tanhua's ex-wife?"
Qiu Mingxuan's expression changed drastically.
Qiu Mingxuan was afraid that people would laugh at her, afraid that people would say that Cen Xiao would rather marry into a family than have her, so she kept Yang Cui's true identity and Cen Xiao's marriage a secret.

Wang Mengyun shook her head: "You're overthinking it. I just happened to hear today that Madam Cen is Lin Tanhua's ex-wife, and I was quite surprised, so I came to verify it."
Qiu Mingxuan's expression softened a bit, realizing she hadn't come to see a joke.
Wang Mengyun continued, "However, this woman is quite capable. General Cen is a skilled warrior, but his judgment is really poor. Miss Qiu surpasses Yang in every aspect. There's no reason why she would choose sand over pearls."
Wang Mengyun didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was self-evident.
After Wang Mengyun finished speaking, she watched Qiu Mingxuan's expression and was secretly pleased to see her face full of resentment.
Then Wang Mengyun added, "Do you think General Cen might have been bewitched? Or had his mind clouded?"
