214 Public Face-slapping (Second Update)

Consort Shu never expected this outcome. Didn't Gu Jinyu claim the invention as her own? How could a four-year-old child know how to make it?

Noble Consort Zhuang enjoyed the turmoil: "Consort Shu, could Xiaowu have possibly stolen someone else's skills and claimed the credit as his own?"

Consort Shu suddenly felt guilty, her face turning red: "What are you talking about, Noble Consort? How could Xiaowu do such a thing?"

Noble Consort Zhuang chuckled: "Then could it be that they stole the skill from Xiaowu?"

Empress Xiao admonished seriously: "Noble Consort, watch your words. I just overheard that the child said his family has known how to do it for a long time."

Consort Shu steeled herself and declared: "Xiaowu has also known how to do it for a long time!"

Noble Consort Zhuang countered: "But that's not what you said earlier. Didn't you state that Xiaowu only came up with this yesterday?"
