Rumors
Raelle did as she said. It's not like she didn't hear anything these days. She wasn't deaf. Even if people usually refrained from gossiping in front of her, she still would hear a few things from here and there. Especially since she had new assistants, one of whom was very good at gossiping.
Although she was good at her work too, she loved to get some extra gossip added to her work to make everything enjoyable. And it was that assistant who told her what rumors had been flying about. And she did hear about the talk of pre-nuptial too. Someone even dared to suggest to her to be careful when it comes to property matters.
She didn't take any of that seriously. She wouldn't pay attention to it unless it affected her personal life. And now, it did. The matter reached Shui Koshing who even heard it from the people of his clan who were living in a whole different province. What did it show? It showed that people were getting too unrestrained.
