Chapitre 182: Fascinated

Jian Guozhi was sitting around the floor table with his mother. The morning meals were served to them. Jian picked up the chopsticks when he heard his mother, "Why are you tense?"

"I am alright, mother," Jian replied, keeping a tiny smile on his lips.

"A child cannot hide anything from his mother," Weng Wei pronounced.

Jian peered at his mother and placed the chopsticks on the plate. "Mother, there is nothing. You think too much." Weng Wei was assured that nothing was going on with her son, so she told him to eat.

After a while, Weng Wei said, "Jian, Sheng Li will return soon to the Palace after solving the problems in the Southern Province. This time I have planned something that would definitely kill him. He cannot escape death this time," Weng Wei proclaimed and smirked. Jian stopped eating and put his hands down.
