Hearing Qi Younian's clearly praiseworthy words, Jinrong turned to the clerks and asked, "Did Old Master Qi really say it like that?"
The two clerks were startled and quickly nodded their heads, but what they said was, "Replying to Sixth Master, Old Master Qi has over-praised us, we have only followed Lady Qi and Brother Wong, learning to do our best, just doing our best." If they didn't agree now, where else could they go to boast their achievements to His Highness in the future?
Jinrong nodded noncommittally, saying, "Lady Qi and Ah Qiao's skills are not superficial. You two should pay attention. If you can learn even a fraction of their tact and thoughtfulness, that wouldn't be too bad."
The two men agreed repeatedly, and although their expressions showed no reluctance, they looked rather anxious.
Jinrong asked with a smile, "Why such expressions, have Lady Qi and these two been ill-treated by her in recent days?"
