After Liu Shimei's awe-inspiring and domineering performance in the afternoon, everyone at the evening banquet unanimously kept their distance from King Dun Yu!
The men, already disdainful of associating with the Silly Second Prince, feared even the slightest contact that might attract Liu Shimei's attention. Yes, they could control themselves not to approach Huangfuling Lingyao, but they couldn't guarantee avoiding trouble if he decided to come looking for them!
As for those noble ladies and daughters, upon seeing Huangfuling Lingyao passing by, they quickly moved away, afraid of accidentally getting too close and having Liu Shimei strip them of their dignity!
Among this group of noblewomen, most were conscious of their reputation.
They might engage in whispered gossip and backbiting behind their backs.
