Knowing that Shunzi was unlikely to reform so easily, Lin Yuan still added another warning.
"But," Lin Yuan cut him off, issuing yet another caution, "if you do not change your ways and I catch you committing offenses again, I will show no mercy and personally send you to the Yamen Jail to reflect thoroughly on your actions!"
"No, no, I will change, I definitely will!" Shunzi said, waving his hands repeatedly as he made his promises.
Lin Yuan gave Liuzi a look, signaling him to send Shunzi away.
Xia Zheng raised his hand to straighten a few stray hairs beside Lin Yuan's temple, "Just like that, you're letting him go? He's a thief, after all."
Lin Yuan pursed her lips, "It's not letting him go; it's giving him an opportunity to rectify his behavior. If he can truly turn over a new leaf, that would be a good thing. If not, heaven's net is vast and loose but misses nothing — the gods have eyes and will surely make him taste the bitterness of his actions."
