Because of the arrival of Mrs. Guo and her daughter, the Guo Residence in the Ningmen Prefecture became bustling with activity. Before the banquet on April 20, families of officials and aristocratic family women came to visit.
The affairs of the Duke Residence naturally attracted attention and became the topic of conversation. Even though Daohua hadn't set foot outside, she had already heard a fair amount of gossip. Among the things she heard, the most frequent were the various ladies' praise for Miss Guo.
Talking about how she was blessed with a beautiful appearance and a lustrous complexion; how she was graceful, elegant, and had upstanding character. Some were overly flattering, even going as far as to say that no woman in Zhongzhou could match her.
After hearing this, Daohua just laughed and cast it aside from her mind. At the moment, she had important matters to attend to and lacked the leisure to indulge in gossip.
