Master Zhou, Official Zhao, Master Qian, and Master Sun were all so angry that they were nearly jumping with rage, and they yelled out loudly, "How could we ever collude to deceive you? Are we that untrustworthy?!"
An Jing looked innocent, "Everyone says I'm not familiar with you all, how would I know whether you would collude to deceive me or not."
The four officials were so angry that they were left speechless. Because it seemed like that was actually the case...
But for them, proud men of status, to wash their wives and concubines' feet in front of others, where would they put their faces in the future?
They really couldn't bring themselves to do it!
Li Jifan hesitated for a moment, then tried to smooth things over, "Lord An, I can assure you that Master Zhou and the others definitely wouldn't collude to deceive you."
"You assure me?" An Jing laughed softly, "Are we that close? Would I trust your assurance?"
