Jian Guozhi could be seen pacing in front of Empress Wei who was seated on the chaise in her chamber. "Your half-brother is in prison. Sheng Li will not spare him and will extract information about us. How could the mother be so careless?" Jian Guozhi questioned.
"I was not careless. A night before yesterday, Sheng Li and Ying Lili sneaked inside the residence of the Prime Minister. Ying Lili found the secret chamber and took out the Ledger from there," Weng Wei told her son.
Jian Guozhi laughed upon hearing those words. "He is really an idiot. A woman defeated you all. I told you not to let me marry Yingér with Sheng Li. If she had not, then this would not have happened today. You all took them lightly. Now, be ready to be their slaves throughout your lives. Why did you not kill Sheng Li when he was a kid? You showed mercy on him and see what he has turned into!" Jian Guozhi gritted his teeth.
