Xiang Wei had opposed Yueyao drinking the soup laced with poison, but Yueyao was insistent. Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was being foolish and said with a wry smile, "If you had listened to me, you wouldn't need to endure such suffering."
Yueyao remained silent.
Xiang Wei was dissatisfied with the outcome, "After enduring such torment, you should at least have retrieved what was rightfully yours; if not to kill her, then at least to ruin her reputation. Now look, Lady Mo is unscathed while you are half dead." Xiang Wei thought Yueyao was smart and scheming, but too tenderhearted in her methods. This would inevitably lead to a great loss one day.
