Lin Shou stared at Madam Yang, the corners of his mouth suddenly curling into a cold sneer as his gaze grew much sharper:
"Going to persuade him is fine. However, you'd better put away those little schemes of yours. Don't even think about struggling. Otherwise, the entire Yang Family will perish because of you."
"Husband, I didn't...."
At his words, the color drained from Madam Yang's face.
"Whether you did or not is unimportant. Once that lord takes what he wants from you, I wouldn't even mind if you kept a few lovers in the manor."
Lin Shou's expression changed in a flash. One moment he was cold and severe, the next his face had softened considerably.
'By the time they actually take it, will I even still be alive?'
Terrified, Madam Yang quickly explained:
"Rest assured, Husband. No matter what happens, I will always remain faithful. Besides, when I go to see Commander Chen, I'll take Xueyao with me."
"That would be for the best."
