The entire hall fell briefly silent.
Jiang Yanchuan fell quiet for a moment. In a truly rare turn of events, he could not find anything suitable to say for quite some time.
The Upright Officials looked grave as well. They tried to squeeze out a word or two of praise, but despite opening their mouths several times, they failed to utter a single word.
And so the scene froze in an awkward stalemate.
The officials who could not hear the little girl's thoughts waited expectantly for ages, yet the rest of the explanation they had anticipated never came. For the first time, their shrewd, calculating eyes shone with utterly guileless curiosity.
And then?
That was it?!
He had spoken so quickly and gone on for so long, and all that remained in translation was a handful of words?!
Jiang Yanchuan cast an inscrutable glance at the little girl. Seeing that she really had decided not to say anything more, he finally spoke with difficulty. "He seemed to... say quite a bit more?"
Jiang Yingcheng stiffened, then feigned composure. "The rest was all meaningless profanity. I feared that repeating it would sully my mouth."
[That bad man was slandering Chengcheng. Chengcheng won't translate for him!]
[Hehehe~]
[J-just watch how Chengcheng deals with him in a moment!]
Jiang Yanchuan: "..."
The assembled officials: "..."
At that point, Jiang Lifeng, who had only recently joined their ranks, finally understood just what sort of little "devil" this usually adorable little dumpling truly was.
The envoy had already been frightened to tears. How did he look remotely capable of swearing at them?!
Almost every official in the room had the same thought as Jiang Lifeng at that moment-
You really were going for the kill!
But...
The officials' eyes soon lit up again.
They understood!
