Chapter 286: Conditions!

"Mother, you were far too reckless at that time!"

Shen Yu supported Madam Zheng as she sat down in the room, instructed the servants to bring tea, and then continued, "At that time, Shen Yuan was already without allegiance to sovereign or father, brazen to an extreme. You went to scold him, but what if he became ruthless and acted out against you..."

He paused here and then said, "I don't even know where he learned those evil tricks, to the point that even Director Du fell victim to his schemes. If he had disrespected you, neither Father nor I, I'm afraid, would've been able to protect you then."

As Madam Zheng gazed at Shen Yu's concerned face, realization dawned on her...

Was the cold indifference she saw in his eyes before just her imagination?

But she was very clear it wasn't...

Had it not been for her being too afraid to act, she wouldn't have plucked up the courage to rebuke Shen Yuan. His arrogant demeanor at that time had been very unsettling.
