"Oh, did you see that? Quinn Flos is very clever. I didn't even know the Knox family symbol was the chrysanthemum, especially the red one. All I know is that this family is very ancient, not to mention that Mrs. Knox highly values her family's culture. Because of his strong love, Mr. Knox combined the two cultures well. Do you see these clothes we're wearing? I never knew clothes like this existed." The clothes they were wearing were called Hanfu, if not mistaken. What did they mean? She didn't know either.
"And Quinn Flos took full advantage of it. Did she know Mrs. Knox would order us to arrange the flowers? She didn't just arrange them haphazardly, she arranged them according to the hostess's wishes!" the assembled girls kept their voices steady.
"This is about to get even more exciting! Did you see Youna Scarlett's face? It instantly turned grey!" they laughed, glancing around to see if Youna was there.
"It's not that I dislike Youna. But she's too arrogant. Just because she knows the general, she's already acting like this family's daughter-in-law."
"Then I don't think the rumors are true. If Youna really was General Knox's girlfriend, this election wouldn't have been held." They all nodded almost simultaneously.
"I don't care about Quinn either. She doesn't talk much, and the only person who dares approach her is Gold, you know—and the other one is the Snow family's youngest daughter, who's still very innocent. She wouldn't realize that Quinn's aura is so cold it can freeze someone."
"But at least Quinn isn't annoying. She's just too calm. I'm glad Youna has a worthy rival. Sometimes she needs to realize that she's not the only one on top!"
"Yes, even if Youna ends up becoming the Knox family's daughter-in-law, at least you can still enjoy the excitement of this election. There's no reason to drop out now."
"What do you mean, Youna is definitely chosen? Quinn is better than her!" another interjected, adding to the excitement.
"Hah, Quinn is indeed more beautiful and has the character to be the daughter-in-law of the Knox family, it's just…" the girl with the pink flower on her temple leaned closer and lowered her voice, "you know the flower on Quinn's temple is gray, right? It's the lowest level of all The Flowers. Almost no one's flower blooms to be gray like hers. There are many rumors circulating about this gray flower."
"Some say that people with gray flowers have very weak bodies, making it difficult to conceive. Furthermore, the gray flowers indicate that their souls and minds are shaken, unhealthy. I saw Quinn consuming something before bed. Her roommate also said that Quinn often has nightmares. There is definitely something wrong with her mental state." The girls' eyes widened at the information they had never heard before. Some of them glanced back at Quinn, who was sitting quietly, reading a book in physical form. Whether or not the woman realized she was becoming the subject of conversation.
"So you're saying she can't have children and is crazy?" one of the girls concluded.
"The Knox family won't choose her. Maybe they don't know about Quinn's gray flower yet. She must have a good background. Or worst, when the Knox family finds out, they'll throw her out of here and sue her for deceiving them."
"I've never heard of the Flos family."
"Me neither," chimed in another.
"But do you know what else I heard about those gray flowers?" the girl held her voice, "they will bring bad luck."
