Baili Mu was unafraid of rumors, as were Zhan Moxiao and Ou Lan. As the saying goes, 'if you stand upright, you don't fear a crooked shadow.' The more you try to avoid suspicion, the more malicious the slander and speculation you invite.
So when Baili Mu came over to greet them, Zhan Moxiao and Ou Lan both stood up and responded politely.
This scene was observed by everyone else, and those gossips couldn't keep their mouths shut. They didn't dare to offend the Zhan Family members, but they gathered in small groups, whispering in the shadows:
"It's hard to believe that a person like Master Xiao can endure his wife cheating on him and even raise someone else's child."
"Indeed, the child looks so much like Baili Mu. It's so obvious, yet look, Master Xiao still seems to adore his wife. It's truly perplexing."
"Could it be that Zhan Moxiao and Baili Mu have some unspeakable agreement in private?"
