"Speak!" The man lay on his side, head tilted, propping himself up on his elbow, toying with her hair.
"I think your brother-in-law was a bit strange today."
Lord Quan the Fourth who had until just a moment ago sported an indifferent air of superiority, now furrowed his brows slightly, his piercing gaze fixed on her unpredictable little face, yet he did not utter a word.
"Don't you think so?" Zhan Se probed further.
Narrowing his eyes, Emperor Quan paused for a moment, his voice deepened.
"Can't you be a little dumber, pretending you know nothing?"

Zhan Se felt being dumb would be easy, but pretending to be ignorant when she was not, was rather difficult.
But since the man had said so, she simply closed her mouth and looked back at him without making a sound.
