In just two days, the news of Qi Xuan being granted marriage to the eldest son of the Yang Family spread like wildfire.
Rumors, once passed from one person to another, change their flavor in everyone's mouth.
Thus, outsiders speculated whether Yang Huan and Qi Xuan had a romance long before, and they were reluctant to defy the marriage granted by the Empress, so they staged this at Yang Xueru's birthday banquet just to be together rightfully.
Once such speculations emerged, the reputation of the Yang Family was indeed questioned.
Qi Xuan locked herself in the room crying all day, not because of the rumors, but because she could never be the Crown Prince's woman anymore.
Yang Xueru, driven by the rumors, could only hide in the mansion and dared not go anywhere.
