He let his tone hang in the air, striking fear into Leng Kangcheng, "I... I just hit her once!"
Having shown his weakness, he then pounded the table angrily, "Look at the disgraceful things they've done!"
"Hmph! Zhuo Jun Li, do not frighten your brother. What of the emperor's palace guard? He seduced Ling'er and tarnished her purity; I could ask the emperor to have him executed immediately!"
Leng Yi's whole demeanour radiated the authority of someone long accustomed to power.
Leng Muling cried out loudly, "He did not defile me! I was willing!"
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Leng Kangcheng picked up the whip, ready to strike her.
Mo Qi immediately enveloped her in his arms, "If Lord Leng must hit someone, let it be me. Do not harm Ling'er."
"You..."
That infuriated Leng Kangcheng.
Although he held a third rank position, he did not possess the supreme status of his father; assaulting someone close to Chu Yihan was beyond his confidence.
