Two days before New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys were already filled with the festive atmosphere.
The turmoil in the Luo Family was at most a topic of casual conversation among the common folk, but the closure of Xichu Pavilion still gave many something to relish over after meals.
The main topic of discussion was where those fairy-like girls had gone.
Whether they had been sent to the Bureau of Music, beheaded at the vegetable market, or taken in secret by some official to be privately kept... even several scandalous novels had begun to circulate.
Unfortunately, these novels were written rather crudely, and those old lechers who bought them were disappointed, for not only did their eyes not find satisfaction, even their junior brothers looked upon them with disdain. Eventually, someone leaked a document impeaching Mr. Luo for an affair with his daughter-in-law, and it became immensely popular overnight, making even the junior brothers feel nauseated.
