"Ah?"
The men were stunned; they had not expected Yun Baibai to be spoken for. What was even more unexpected was that Yun Baibai's affections were plucked by another flower.
Even though same-sex love was not uncommon in Da Ming, it was still not something that could be openly acknowledged. So, a few of the more moderate men chose to leave upon learning of this, but the rest were not prepared to back down.
"A fair lady is a gentleman's good mate."
A man with his hair tied up stepped forward, holding a folding fan, and said to Zhu Qianyun with a smile, "I am the son of the Deputy Imperial Censor of the Right, Liu Hongyu. It is only natural for me to admire Miss Yun; it is the way of heaven and human relations. Being a woman, you should not compete with me for Miss Yun and bring disgrace upon yourself. Please step aside."
"Sigh."
