Kesi's arguments, naturally, were not believed by General Fu and the others.
The incident had caused such a stir that besides being beaten, Kesi suffered no real harm.
The ones who suffered a loss of reputation were General's Mansion, and especially Fu Baozhu.
One could imagine how people would talk about her after today; for a woman in this world, nothing was more important than her reputation.
However, as General Fu watched Fu Baozhu embracing Kesi, he felt an indescribable rage that somehow turned into laughter.
Yes, once married off to the Western Regions, she wouldn't hear these voices, and in the end, the only reputation tarnished would be that of General of the Northern Command's Residence.
The Emperor would also become suspicious, wondering whether he and Kesi had reached some agreement and were engaging with the Western Regions through such means.
Everyone in Capital City knew that Fu Baozhu was his most beloved daughter, and the Emperor was well aware of this too.
