Niu Yanghui shook his head and said, "This is a stage that our second sister must go through."
Mingzhu suddenly widened her eyes, "What do you mean?"
Niu Yanghui sighed lightly. If Yueyao were a man, not only would she not be defamed, but she would also become a celebrated figure.

Yet, Yueyao often has to go out to paint, which in the eyes of many, especially those scholars, becomes a bad example.
Mingzhu finally spoke after a long while, "Is someone deliberately slandering Yueyao, spreading rumors to ruin Yueyao's reputation?" She initially thought it was a coincidence. After listening to Niu Yanghui, Mingzhu suddenly realized that the rumors outside were spreading wildly.
