Hong Xiaoduo then looked at Eunuch Fu, who was watching with a big smile, as if he had just eaten a big, sweet melon.
Then look at Murong Jing, who is looking at her with great helplessness.
“You three, don’t rush to kowtow!” Hong Xiaoduo shouted.
Because her voice was so loud, the three people, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, immediately stopped fighting and looked at her.
"Xiao Duo, it's just three kowtows. A real man can bend and stretch. It's no big deal." Wei Junpei thought she felt guilty and wanted to kowtow for him, so he said it nonchalantly.
"That's right, who in the capital doesn't know that Lord Wei is an upright and honest official who keeps his promises?" Minister Gu laughed triumphantly again.

Please refrain from hurling insults and accusations at her." Wei Junpei said sternly when he heard the guests accusing and insulting Miss Hong.
Hong Xiaoduo also heard those people cursing her, but she wasn't angry. She raised an eyebrow as she watched Lord Wei defend her.
After the guests quieted down slightly because of Lord Wei's words, Hong Xiaoduo crossed her arms and took a step forward to Minister Gu, smiling as she said, "Minister Gu, how can you be so sure that my assessment was wrong..."
