Burning the Ancestral Hall (4)

The more Luo Xueyan thought about it, the sadder she became. She continued, "I often wonder if it's really safe to leave Jiaojiao in the capital. Without us by her side, I wonder if she's really living a happy life. Every year, when we meet her at the end of the year, she always treats us coldly. It's all our fault to begin with, so no matter how she treats us, we can't blame her."

Shen Miao wasn't close to Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, and even Shen Qiu, because they were never by her side since she was young. She was close to Ren Wanyun, Chen Ruoqiu, and even Old Madam Shen, because these people were all with her day and night. They were the "families" in her eyes. As for Shen Xin and his wife, they gave their daughter whatever she wanted. No matter how infamous Shen Miao was in the capital, they had never been angry at her because they knew they were to blame.

Shen Xin patted Luo Xueyan on the shoulder. "One day, Jiaojiao will understand us."
