Chapter 256 - 108: The Queen Returns
Lie Rou listened to the words of the people, feeling both bitter and relieved in her heart.
These few really have the mentality of children; their roundabout attack completely disrupted her plan.
Originally, Lie Rou was prepared to trade one life for the safety of her children and loyal servant, but now, due to their obstinacy, all her efforts were in vain.
Even so, a warmth still spread in Lie Rou’s eyes as she muttered: "Silly children, truly a bunch of silly children."
