"Madam, Junior really is a good person, she didn't mean to deceive you. It was me who asked her to do this. If you have to blame someone, blame me."
"Why are you still calling me Madam?" Lin Qing chided helplessly.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips, and under Lin Qing's encouraging gaze, she spoke, "Mother...."
"Ah." Lin Qing burst into tears, engulfing her in a second embrace.
"Mom has let you endure too many grievances in the past, I won't let it happen again."
Feeling the maternal love from the woman, Ye Zhen hesitated before gently placing her hand on her back.
She would let herself be selfish this time.
"How could Mom ever blame you? Ming Jing is such a wonderful person. I've seen it all. It would be absolutely heartless of me to blame her."
"It's getting late. You should get some rest. We can talk more tomorrow."
After seeing her off to rest, Lin Qing came out to find Zhu Xiangxiang kneeling at the door.
