Madam Tang, observing Yueyao who, despite her slight thinness, appeared as usual, suddenly said, "Su Zhu, there are rumors swirling everywhere about Cousin Miss, how can she remain so composed?"
Su Zhu thought for a moment and replied, "Cousin Miss likely doesn't know. If she knew, how could she remain so composed?" The rumors outside were about Cousin Miss eloping; if she knew, she would surely be so furious she could cough up blood.
Madam Tang slowly removed the pearl earrings from her ears and said, "There's no reason she wouldn't know. The rumors about her are everywhere, and even if she were on the mountain, she couldn't not have heard them." More importantly, the old nanny who delivered items to the mountain specifically informed the people around Yueyao about this matter. There's no reason for Yueyao not to know about this.
