บท 266: Chapter 266: Mother-Son Estrangement

Since getting married, Lin Fengying hadn't shown a smile. Even the blunt Si Boyi started to notice something was wrong.

Not knowing if it was because of last night, Si Boyi wanted to apologize but just couldn't articulate it. He could only venture to ask, "Mom, are you not in a good mood?"

"What could possibly make me upset?" Lin Fengying kept a stern face, her tone sounding distant. "Go and see if Lijuan's stomachache has improved. Leave this to me. After all, I am used to taking care of you all on my own from when you were young. When I get old and immobile, you can take over my work."

Si Boyi felt that something was off about what Lin Fengying was saying, "Mom, you never used to talk like this."

Such vague and gloomy words made people uncomfortable. Si Boyi felt that they were all family, so whatever needed to be said could be spoken directly. There was no need for such ambiguity.
