A few nobles heard these words, their expressions froze, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Did these residents really dare to mock them?
Even though their words didn't outright say it, under such circumstances, how could they not catch the implied meaning?
Their expressions changed slightly.
Zhou Bai watched as her residents finished their sarcastic remarks, coughed lightly, then said to the nobles, "Please, sirs, don't blame them. They're just a little too curious, no harm meant. You're guests here—how about joining me inside?"
It was time, the moment to give them a way out.
Just because she didn't want them throwing their weight around on her territory didn't mean she had to offend so many territories all at once.
In the future, Hope Village still needed to do business.
Honestly, seeing Zhou Bai calmly and politely make her request, the nobles' tempers cooled considerably.
