Li Yun had already found a seat. He didn't stop the crowd's discussions outside, instead turning to Ming Lingyi. "Do you want to settle this case now, or let it continue?"
If she didn't want to waste time, he could have the people who started the trouble in the crowd detained now and interrogated later.
Ming Lingyi barely hesitated. "Let's question them and get to the bottom of this. Lord Gongsun is here now, so I don't think this will be too big of a deal."
Li Yun's eyebrow twitched, a clear sign of his displeasure with her words.
'What does she mean it's not a big deal just because Gongsun Liangce is here?'
'Aren't these villains unable to cause any real trouble precisely because *I'm* here?'
'She hadn't even considered his role in this. Had he not done enough?'
Li Yun, of course, couldn't vent this subtle dissatisfaction on Ming Lingyi. But at some point, his grip on her hand tightened, forcing her to look up at him.
