"Feng, yesterday since I was going on a far distance, I ordered them to stay behind. When they refused to obey my commands, I had threatened to report them to you. As you can see, they had no other choice but to do my bidding because of my threats, so I want you to forgive them," Yang Zi said seriously.
"Zi Er, I am sorry I can't do what you asked of me. I could joke around with every other thing that concerns me, but I could never joke around with your life," Yifeng said firmly. His tone and expression show that he would not change his decision.
"Feng, if someone should be punished here it should be me not them. I told them to take the evening off because the journey was a lengthy one and because I didn't know that I would encounter any danger on the way so please pardon them for my sake?" Yang Zi pleaded, caressing his hands affectionately to soothe his anger.
