Under such a questioning gaze, Lu Tong rarely felt a tinge of guilt.
Mistaken by Lady Dong, the Minister of Imperial Treasury, for having an ambiguous relationship with Pei Yunmeng and befriending her, Lu Tong herself had the intention of using Lady Dong to get close to the officials of Shengjing. Thus, she went with the flow, tacitly accepting Lady Dong's words and even feigning shyness, pushing the boat out even further by herself.
But she overlooked the fact that Lady Dong loves a lively atmosphere, has good personal relations, and is indispensable at the banquets of the wives of Shengjing's officials. As rumors spread, it was uncertain whether they would reach the ears of Pei Yunshu, Princess Consort of Prince Wen. After all, Lady Dong was present at Prince Wen's Mansion's Mid-Autumn banquet.
Pei Yunshu and Pei Yunmeng are siblings, so it was only a matter of time before it reached Pei Yunmeng's ears.
