"My lord, what do you think of An Cui?" Wei Ci privately asked Jiang Pengji. He wanted to hear her evaluation of An Cui to make it more convenient for them to carry out the next step.
Jiang Pengji looked at the flames burning vigorously, her elbow on her knees and her palm supporting her head.
"An Cui? What special opinion could I have on him? If I must comment, I'd say that he seems pretty vengeful, and I don't really like him." Jiang Pengji tsked and said, "He isn't on the same path as us. He's ambitious. Surely you aren't thinking of getting him to join us?"
Wei Ci almost choked because of her guess.
He quickly said, "No, I just wanted to know your evaluation of him, my lord."
