Does Tingye have a female companion at today's banquet?
She hadn't heard anything about it.
And from what these people are discussing, it seems like whoever Tingye brings to the banquet is akin to choosing a concubine...
"You must be joking, Dan Tingye hasn't been close to any woman for years, I bet this news is fake again," another woman's voice chimed in.
"I think it's fake too, we've heard such rumors countless times over the years, yet none have ever come true. I bet it's just another smokescreen," someone nearby echoed.
"But you have to admit, Dan Tingye is currently the top heir on the list. Countless people are eager to cozy up to him, but he seems uninterested in everyone. Could it be that he has a problem in that area?"
A woman in a pink fringe dress covered her mouth and whispered.
Just as she finished speaking, a companion slapped her, "What nonsense are you spouting! Aren't you afraid of being overheard? It'll be your doom!"
