"Could it be... because of Xue Lu?"
"Could be…"
So those rumors circulating in the capital were true after all?
So those rumors were not groundless after all?
Everyone was shocked.
"Right, I heard that General Xia fell in love with Young Lady Xue at first sight."
"Me too; I even heard that they meet one another from time to time."
"Do the both of them have a personal relationship that was not disclosed to outsiders?"
While some people believe those rumors flying in the capital, there are some others, especially the noblemen, who don't believe in those rumors.
Or rather, they don't want to believe that General Xia wanted to come because of Xue Lu.
"Or perhaps the general only wanted to meet His Highness, the Crown Prince, today to discuss some important matters?"
"Yes, maybe General Xia wanted to talk about some military affairs with His Highness, the Crown Prince."
