Actually, that's exactly what he meant, but is "even if you beat a dog, you must consider its owner" something he should say? He compared the Young Madam to a "dog," and if Mr. Li finds out, he might send him off to Java Country for a work trip!
"What I mean is that you don't need to worry. Even if Mr. Shen personally pleads for Miss Shen, Mr. Li won't let her off, so you won't suffer in vain."
Rong Yan blinked innocently as she looked at his indignant expression and asked, "So the person who set me up this time wasn't Chu Xi, but Shen Siyuan?"
"?!!"
Gu Ming was initially stunned, then uncertainly asked, "The Young Madam doesn't know? Mr. Li didn't tell you?"
Under his gaze, Rong Yan slowly nodded.
First, he showed a look of disbelief, then slowly turned his neck in front of Rong Yan and squeezed out a face that looked worse than crying. Clutching Rong Yan's sleeve, he pleaded, "Young Madam, I just had a fever and was talking nonsense. Can you pretend you never heard it?"
