The person rushing to catch the carriage glanced back at the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, seemingly considering how much of what he said might be true.
Tang Fengxing quickly said to the man with a forced smile, "Brother, my brother here has been listening to too many operas and his brain has gone haywire. He always thinks he's some kind of high-ranking official. Please don't take him seriously."
The man gave them a warning glare, then turned back to continue driving.
They say he's lost his mind!
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies was practically about to explode. He already disliked Tang Fengxing, and now he was being told that he had something wrong with his head. If he weren't tied up, Chuanwu had no doubt that he could have jumped three feet high and started arguing with Tang Fengxing.

I don't know if Chuanwen has finally been driven crazy by attending court every day. For two days in a row, she has stopped dozing off and drooling, and stares at the people who are stepping forward to present their reports with great energy.
She gossiped about everyone who spoke up: the Minister of Revenue's wife hanged herself again because he took another concubine... the Minister of Rites was a sycophant of the most beautiful courtesan at the Red Fragrance Pavilion... the Minister of Works' coffin money was stolen, so he summoned the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review to investigate, only to discover that his son had stolen it...
