Kong Wenjing thought he was well-prepared; after all, this was his home turf, and the opponent was just a young girl.
This kind of courage to face a lone encounter—if it were an adult man, it might be possible, but how could a young girl have such bravery?
The reason this young girl dared to come probably lies in her naive thinking. She believed that since she saved his wife, she would naturally be afforded a certain level of respect.
Kong Wenjing's initial intimidation failed and was even ridiculed by Xia Wenjin; he then prepared poisoned wine, intending for Xia Wenjin to taste desperation when her life was threatened after being poisoned.
Of course, he didn't mean to poison Xia Wenjin to death. After all, she had saved his wife and children; he wouldn't repay her kindness with ingratitude.
What he intended was for Xia Wenjin to experience the same desperation he did back then. At that time, this young girl would stop speaking so inconsiderately.
