"That's not what I'm worried about," Xie Sheng said.
"Then why are you holding me back? Have you been bewitched by Mrs. Jiang? Do you also think the Noble Consort is a good person?"
Guo Xiao Yi couldn't believe it!
'What kind of potion has the Pure Consort given my son!'
"Mother, please let me finish," Xie Sheng said helplessly. "Whether the Rong Family falls or not, she is still a Noble Consort personally appointed by the Emperor. If you go to her residence to mock her, do you think Her Lady, with her temper, is more likely to endure it silently or fly into a rage and punish you severely, consequences be damned? As your son, how can I stand by and watch you walk into danger? Please, Mother, reconsider."
What Xie Sheng left unsaid was that, given the Noble Consort's standing with his father, the Emperor...
...punishing a mere Guo Xiao Yi wouldn't be a big deal at all.
His words were enough to deflate Guo Xiao Yi completely.
