Macbeth doesn't tell his wife that he is killing Fleance and Banquo because she has already shown signs of cracking under the strain of the guilty secret of Duncan's murder. For her sake, he is not going to discuss the details of the crime with her. However, he does expect her to "applaud the deed" when she hears what he has done.
