Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao were stunned by her sudden, serious question.
What is all this nonsense? How was she supposed to know they were going to add rice to the mud as a binding agent to reinforce the city walls?
And the questions she raised were sharp and insightful; they really hadn't considered them.
The two were stunned by Zheng Quchi's sudden imposing presence. They went through all sorts of guesses in their minds, but they couldn't figure out why this little carpenter could see through the mystery of the method devised by "Master Li".
Zheng Quchi asked one last question: "You have the methods, but you haven't actually put them into practice yet, and you're trying to achieve the desired result in one step. Who is really fooling us?"

"Why are you asking me?" Zheng Quchi interrupted Yuan Sui, her brown eyes sharp and almost demonic, and she asked with a strange smile, "Shouldn't you be asking the person who taught you these methods?"
These words struck Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao like a thunderclap, causing their expressions to change drastically.
He first glanced around at the bystanders, and seeing that everyone was avoiding his gaze and quickly scattering as if they were guilty and unwilling to cause trouble, he then looked at Zheng Quchi with a shocked and panicked expression.
Wow, I bumped into a lucky charm! How come she seems to know everything?!
Could this black coal ball be some kind of remarkable person, like "Master Li," disguised to experience life at the grassroots level?
