Wu Shao heard this and asked coldly, "What do you think is unacceptable?" Bihua was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Firstly, she was under the pressure of Wu Shao's intimidating aura, and secondly, she really couldn't explain it, and it had nothing to do with whether she had read the book or not.

Wu Shao looked around and said calmly, "From what I understand, Ms. Hu Ling's book is indeed emotionally oriented, and it expresses genuine feelings. It's deeply moving and doesn't point to anything inappropriate."

There was a slight murmur among the people below. This reaction was normal. Xiaoyue City had open-minded people, while others remained conservative. There was no ill will, but they simply felt that there was a discrepancy between their own perceptions and their own.

Bihua seemed to gain some confidence and raised her head slightly as she said, "Our parents have taught us girls from a young age to be polite and have a sense of shame. As we grow older, we must be more self-disciplined and follow the rules. We must not give in to our emotions without permission, as that is extremely disrespectful."

There was another small commotion from the audience. Many people found Bihua's words a little ridiculous, even using such unintentionally emotional language. They wondered if she was just being polite or if she had a complicated mindset.

Qingsheng then asked, "Ms. Bihua, you've been talking for a long time but haven't made it clear. Have you ever read Ms. Hu's book?"

Bihua's face lit up with embarrassment when she heard this. If someone else had asked her this question, she would have definitely responded angrily. But she knew Qingsheng's identity very well, so how could she dare to attack him?

At this time, Xin'er's crisp voice rang out, "Miss Bi Ya, I seem to have seen your maid Xiu'er buying Sister Hu Ling's book from Ma San one day." Then she and the people next to her giggled.

When Bi Ya Niang heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "Ya'er, is this true? We can't learn bad things from reading that kind of book." Bi Ya glared anxiously and said,

"Mother, what are you guessing about? How could I possibly read that kind of book? It must be that silly maid Xiu'er who has some evil intention in mind to buy that kind of book. I'll teach her a lesson when I get home."

Then he turned to Xin'er and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. Is this the right place for you to talk?"

Xin'er was about to argue with her when Qingsheng spoke up, "Miss Bihua, you're wrong. Everyone here tonight is a guest. I believe Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu want everyone to enjoy themselves."

He said this and bowed to Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu and his wife remained silent, but listened carefully to what the young people were saying.

At this moment, a gentle woman's voice rang out. "Let me say a few words on Hu Ling's behalf. Regardless of the contents of the book, Miss Hu has indeed brought some good things to our Xiaoyue City."

Many people from outside the city come here and say they've heard a talented woman has emerged in our town, and they all want to see Miss Hu. This will bring honor to our Xiaoyue City."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Li Xianwei's wife. Her words naturally carried a certain weight. Mrs. Li paused and continued:

"I won't hide it today. I've read Miss Hu Ling's book, and it's truly well-written. It's not just about relationships between men and women; it also reminds us women to be cautious and cherish our marriages and relationships, and not to completely lose ourselves.

I've never gotten such enlightenment from any book before, it's really beneficial." He then bowed towards Hu Ling.

Mrs. Li's words also caused a small commotion. On the one hand, people admired her courage to admit it, and on the other hand, they also felt that she suggested that women should also maintain their own opinions. Naturally, everyone has their own opinions.

There were also many noble ladies at the table who had secretly read Hu Ling's novels, including Mrs. Wang. Although they were reluctant to admit it openly, they still agreed with Mrs. Li's analysis in their hearts.

Wu Shao and others were relieved to see that the situation on the field had improved for Hu Ling.
