Ji Yao had survived his entire life without experiencing such a thing. No one dared say shit to his face about him being born into a family of sea bandits. No one dared point out his shortcomings to his face. Even his father thought twice before telling him that he was wearing his boots on the wrong feet when he was young.
When he did something wrong his father would pick an auspicious day with great weather to criticize him yet this woman who had no relation to him whatsoever dared to publicly scold him and his lover when they had done absolutely nothing wrong.
He initially wanted to let her go with a slap on the wrist but she kept running her mouth unrestrainedly. This naturally meant that he didn't need to hold back.
