After the meal, Musheng explained the cause of the commotion to the somewhat anxious Ma Changying. As soon as she heard that the troublemakers yesterday were actually sent by Wen Xuanming, Ma Changying trembled with rage, "That beast!"
The tone in which she gritted out the words revealed the depth of her hatred.
"All those years I struggled to raise you kids on my own, never once seeking him out or expecting him to take any responsibility, and he dares do such a thing!"
As she spoke, Ma Changying's eyes began to redden. She was angry at herself for being blind when she had married him, and for her own weakness. If only she hadn't stayed in Huai City out of spite all those years ago, then none of this would be happening now, and her daughter wouldn't be caught up in it as well.
