Chapter 1995 - 169: He Was Terrified Afterwards
It is said that you learn until you’re old, which is why older people have more experience, have seen more, and experienced more compared to the younger generation.
Having gone through a lifetime filled with storms and challenges, they’ve surely encountered a lot. What is there they can’t understand?
The grandparent and grandchild exchange a glance, and Yixuan’s mood is actually somewhat complex.
"Grandma, I can’t forgive that person."
This isn’t just for the two children, but also for Old Lady Qin.
He can’t forgive that person, no matter who they are. To dare do such a thing means they’ve already touched his reverse scale and crossed his boundary.
This time, it was only because the wife master discovered it in time that nothing serious happened, but Yixuan’s heart couldn’t help feeling scared.
They knew that the old lady secretly brought the two children along to Dongcui City. They always thought the old lady had many people with her; covertly, there were elite soldiers among the Ghosts, as well as people sent by Yixuan to keep watch, thinking the rear was secure and safe.
But they only considered sudden threats like assassination attempts and didn’t account for schemes and plots.
If the wife master hadn’t suddenly felt inclined to visit the inn to see the children, if she hadn’t learned medical skills or understood poisons, if she hadn’t discovered Old Lady Qin and the two children being poisoned.
Then, what would have been the consequence?
What kind of outcome would there have been?
Yixuan simply does not dare think about it.
And thus, he had just uttered those words of unforgiveness.
The old lady sighed with a smile, "Perhaps I am old now and can’t fight them anymore."
She once considered dealing with it decisively, but ultimately, the old ties made her hesitate.
After all, spending decades together, living this life, they almost grew up together.
"I remember the old ties, but they don’t understand my attachment to the past, nor did they show it to me."
These words sound understated, yet the meaning behind them conveys such a sense of age and bitterness.
There is a long silence again.
In the end, the old lady slowly stands up.
"Go back. Don’t let my words affect you; do what you want, go ahead with your plans."
As the old lady stands, Yixuan also quickly rises; he wants to help her, but she waves her hand, seemingly wanting to be alone.
Yixuan opens his mouth, but then closes it slowly.
Ultimately, he cannot speak, unable to voice anything.
Though the old lady had clearly expressed her stance, Yixuan cannot feel happy, instead feeling troubled by it.
He is very worried about the old lady.
Others might also experience similar situations; emotions and reason are entirely different things.
Reason tells oneself what is right, but what about emotions? Can emotions accept it?
Gains and sacrifices.
Making decisions has never been an easy and simple task.
...
Dong Huiying, although she avoided it, intentionally left space for the two to have a private conversation, yet she couldn’t resist using her Inner Strength, with exceptional senses.
Through a door, even if their conversation wasn’t loud, she heard it clearly.
After the old lady returned to her own room.
Dong Huiying glanced at Little Wuwang lying on the bed, tucked the child with a cover, gently kissed his forehead, and then came to the crib, pinched Little Star’s chubby face.
