The Hong Clan's Hong Bawei knitted his brow as he questioned, "Crown Prince Consort, Sixth Young Sir Zheng is travelling together with us?"
"Is there a problem?"
Qiao Mu cast the others a glance as she said nonchalantly, "Didn't you all come to an agreement with the king? The eight great patrician families would only select four competitors, while the king would choose another two people to join the team."
In other words, the king chose only one person— Little Sixth Zheng—so what else did you people want?
What was there not to be satisfied about?
Hong Bawei and Fan Qiuming's complexions changed, and they protested anxiously, "This is the rule that your Family Head Qiao decided on his own previously…"
Sensing Qiao Mu's cold gaze, Hong Bawei could only change his tune in the middle, "This indeed was what Qiao Dongbo said, but the other family patriarchs didn't agree, so how could his decision represent everyone's stance?"
