I haven't known Lord Wei for long, but I know he's an inflexible and straightforward old man. His way of speaking and acting is really not tactful, and he's easy to get taken advantage of and offend people, and he's also not favored by his superiors.
Therefore, if the results of the bloodline test are truly important, could we grant Lord Wei's household a pardon from death?
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Fu stared at Hong Xiaoduo in disbelief, utterly shocked! She actually? How dare she?
Wei Junpei was also very surprised. It turned out that it was for him?
The man beside Eunuch Fu slowly turned around, his sharp eyes fixed on Hong Xiaoduo.
Hong Xiaoduo was not afraid at all, and met his gaze with a half-smile.
The person shifted their gaze and looked at Wei Junpei, who was completely bewildered.
Wei Junpei felt a chill run down his spine. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know how or what to say.
"Okay." The man looked at Hong Xiaoduo again, uttered a single, economical word, and then turned and left.
Wei Junpei hurriedly went out to see them off. Hong Xiaoduo waited until they all left before standing up, tapping her legs which were a little numb from sitting for a while. After thinking about it, she decided to wait for Lord Wei to return before going back to sleep.
Not long after, Wei Junpei hurriedly returned. As soon as he entered the room, he looked at Hong Xiaoduo, who was standing there looking at the ornaments on the antique shelf, and said, "Xiaoduo, do you know who that person is?"
Hong Xiaoduo turned around and looked at him: "I wasn't sure at first, but then I thought it probably was."
"Beginning? Before or after the thousand taels of gold?" Wei Junpei asked anxiously again.
"What happened before?" Hong Xiaoduo was also puzzled. They hadn't asked for ten thousand taels of gold. Surely they wouldn't retaliate?
Wei Junpei raised his hand to his forehead speechlessly, and after a moment, said, "You know that person's identity, yet you still dare to ask him for a reward? Also, how did you come up with the idea of helping this old man get a get-out-of-jail-free card?"
"He's the emperor, and I have no connection with him, so why wouldn't I take it? As for the pardon, he asked us for a favor and offered it to me himself. It's a rare opportunity, so I'll give it a try. Would I be stupid not to take advantage of a good deal?" Hong Xiaoduo explained frankly.
Why not take advantage of freebies? Wei Junpei kept repeating these thoughts in his mind as he stared intently at the young girl in front of him. At his age, he had finally witnessed someone who was fearless in the face of a king!
"Uncle, let's get serious. Who are they? What's the story behind it? You know, right? Can you tell me a little bit? Don't worry, Uncle, I'm just listening. I definitely won't tell anyone." Hong Xiaoduo couldn't contain her gossip.
After that person left, she started calling him "uncle" again, and Wei Junpei didn't know what to say.
And seriously?
Was what I just said not serious?
"It wouldn't hurt to tell you." Looking at the expectant eyes before him, Wei Junpei ultimately couldn't refuse...
