In fact, during this time, each of Xu Yun's women had, at one point or another, received her own fan.
They all thought it was a special gift meant only for them, and they treasured it happily.
They believed they were the one and only in Xu Yun's heart.
Only Yu Xuan discovered the truth.
As Xu Yun's secretary and de facto housekeeper, she was often around these women, handling various matters for him.
She first discovered this when she went to Su Mu's office one day and inadvertently saw a fan that looked almost identical to her own.
Only the inscription was different.
When Su Mu saw her staring at the fan, she smiled and asked, "Did he give you one?"
Because Su Mu knew about the nature of her relationship with Xu Yun.
Yu Xuan lied, shaking her head and saying he hadn't. She could clearly see the other woman's face brighten a little. Su Mu then put the fan away in her drawer, taking it out from time to time to admire it.
