Duke An, upon hearing that Jinrong had arrived, glanced over the people present. It was just a fight between children; was there really a need to gather so many people? Why converge on his mansion?
But the guests had already arrived, so what else could he do but welcome them in?
With no other choice, Duke An stood up and said to Xing Bin and the others, "Everyone, come with me to greet His Highness Prince Yu." With that, he led the way outside.
No sooner had he stepped out of the room than he saw Duke An's attendant, Ye Sheng, bowing and leading Jinrong towards them.
Duke An and Xing Bin took the lead, with a chaotic following of various people behind them, each stepping forward to pay their respects to Jinrong.
Jinrong raised his hand and said, "You need not be so formal, my lords. My uninvited presence here has caused a disturbance, I hope Duke An and everyone else will not take offense."
