However, faced with Madame Wu's "sincere outpouring," the woman in the bed remained utterly unmoved!
After so many years, could it be that one still cannot see the true face of a person?
"Ye Mei, I know you must think that this old lady is doing this because she wants you to marry into the Situ Family, that it's all false courtesy, both sycophantic and thieving!"
Madame Wu sat down on a chair and spoke with grave sincerity:
"It takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep. It's normal for you to suspect me given my past wrongdoings, I understand! Who made me commit sins in the past?"
As she spoke, Madame Wu's voice grew even more sorrowful:
"But Ye Mei, don't forget one thing, you are, after all, my own granddaughter. Blood is thicker than water; how could I possibly truly wish to harm you?"
"I admit, I do want to arrange a marriage with Yandu's Situ Family. Wouldn't anyone want the same?"
