The coming-of-age ceremony was bustling, especially with the white hairpin worn by Lin Youning, immediately drawing the attention of everyone.
Lin Youning didn't think much of it, and everything went smoothly until the hairpin was attached.
Mrs. Dong led everyone to the garden to watch a play, while Lin Youning returned to her courtyard to change dresses.
Lady Lin followed alongside the group, her presence neither too prominent nor overlooked, as with such rumors, how could anyone ignore her?
The group had just settled themselves under the stage when someone rushed up to Mrs. Dong, whispering a few words into her ear.
Mrs. Dong's expression changed, and after giving some instructions to a maid, she walked over to Mrs. Gu Sr., whispering a few more words.
Seeing this, everyone wished their ears could grow longer so they could hear what was happening.
