Enmity

"Bear with it for a while and avoid a hundred days of worry. I've been persuading myself like this all these years when I was doing business outside, but that's the daughter I raised. I had to stab myself with a needle to resist the urge to fight to the death with He Yuqing."

"I calmed down and found the previous shopkeeper's house. Only then did I find out that less than a year after I left, He Yuqing told the shopkeeper that my Lian'er had suffered from hypochondria and that he had sent her to the capital for treatment. From then on, he never saw my daughter and granddaughter again. Not long after, the shopkeeper was fired. Later, he found out that He Yuqing had hooked up with a noblewoman in the capital."

"I came back and continued to ask around, but I still couldn't find them. I was so anxious and angry that I fell sick again. I lay in the previous small courtyard for half a month. I thought that if I couldn't find Lian'er and her daughter, I would fight him."
