Ye Hongyang was followed by another Attendant, whom Jiang Yifan recognized as someone Duke An had assigned to Ye Hongyang. Changxing bowed to the speaker, saying, "Master Li, please be cautious with your words. You and our Old Master Ye are here for the same reason, to enjoy the music. Stirring up trouble with such remarks is hardly appropriate."
There were several people with Master Li, and another man smiled and bowed, "Brother Ye, please forgive us. We meant no disrespect. It's obvious that the girl singing is just a novice, and Brother Ye is known to have a fondness for such women. By helping her out, you wouldn't just be relieving her distress; you would also be creating good karma. Brother Ye, please understand, we have no ill intentions."
