Throwing uncle under the bus 2

Left to face the music by himself he followed Rui Fei to Ji Yao's cabin for his punishment. When they got there instead of Rui Fei walking in as usual he simply shoved his uncle forward and said, "Knock," in a serious tone.

But Huishe Yue wasn't falling for that trick. If Rui Fei was afraid to even knock the door that he usually pushed open with no care in the world then what about him an insignificant ant in Ji Yao's eyes.

Unwilling to face Ji Yao's wrath head-on he moved a step backwards and shook his head. As expected Rui Fei wouldn't let him go that easy. He said, "Why are you being such a wuss? You were brazen a minute ago beating up his distant uncle.... now knock," in a loud whisper.
