Then, Xia Lan saw Mother Xia holding a handkerchief, wiping away tears, and continued, "All this isn't important. After all, I took a son from her, her resentment towards me is understandable."
"Moreover, ever since Chengzu's incident, life has not been easy for the main branch of the Xia family."
Mother Xia sighed sadly, feeling sympathy for the hardships the Xia family were enduring.
"That's why, I don't want to argue with my elder sister-in-law... Therefore, when Chengzong visits me, I never tell him about these things."
"This time..." Suddenly, Mother Xia's gaze became slightly unfocused, she shook her head and sobbed, "This time, I don't know why, but my elder sister-in-law suddenly lashed out at me."
"She had never hit me before, not even once..."
Despite the tone Mother Xia used, it seemed she was not upset about being regularly mistreated by her elder aunt, rather it was just this instance of physical assault that truly affected her.
