Not to mention just a woman.

"drive--"

Wei Yian hurried again to the palace.

…

Mo Zhu was puzzled: "Madam, why don't you teach him a lesson?"

Xie Qingyao said slowly: "What's the point of just teaching him a lesson? We can't really beat him. If we don't attack him, it's fine. But if we do, it'll be fatal."

"If we hurt him now and he dies accidentally later, we might be blamed. That would be a loss."

"Be patient, I'll come up with a solution when I get back..."

Mo Zhu looked around, seeing no one around, and asked casually, "Kill him?"

Xie Qingyao: "Yes."

Mo Zhu raised the corner of his mouth.

OK.

When He Zheng came back for dinner, Xie Qingyao started to complain.

"My Lord, today I met a man who was so bold that he actually asked me to abandon my useless husband and throw myself into his arms."

"Don't you think it's infuriating?"

A useless husband? Throw yourself into his arms?

He Zheng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he asked, "Who is it?"

Xie Qingyao frowned, and said with some distress: "It's the second son of the King of Longxi, Wei Yian."

He Zheng picked up some food for her and said in a low voice, "Yaoyao didn't beat him?"

Xie Qingyao shook her head. "No, I did want to beat him up, but I was thinking, what if I beat him up to death? What will I do then?"

She was really afraid that Mo Zhu would accidentally kill someone.

Even Wei Yian's fancy appearance is not enough to warm up Mo Zhu alone.

"Yaoyao is very thoughtful." He Zheng's voice was still cold. "He is still useful."

"Tomorrow, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace. Go meet him and teach him a lesson."
