Upon the mention of Consort Bing, a solemn silence fell between the grandfather and grandson.
Finally, it was Luo Shunchen who broke the silence, saying indifferently, "Grandfather, Mother is safe within the palace. I have already dispatched people to guard her. Please do not worry too much!"
"Child, do you still harbor resentment against your mother for her ruthlessness back then?"
Old General Xu Ziming looked at Luo Shunchen as if he could see directly into his psyche.
Luo Shunchen shook his head, "I have never resented Mother."
Old General Xu Ziming's eyes were murky, his voice laden with a sob, "My child, don't resent your mother. She sent you out of the palace back then entirely for this old man's sake, afraid that this old man would follow along with his wife and children to the grave..."
That scene from the past once again tore at his heart, bringing exceptional pain.
The agony of being unable to exact revenge for his wife and children was excruciating.
