Chapter 211, Smart Lady Xuan (1 more)

Comparison is the thief of joy.

The Xu Family's lad surpasses my own son by a great deal.

After Xu Xuanjin left, Lady Xuan also came to visit Xuan Mu.

Xuan Mu was merely struck with a cold, yet he seemed like a frosted eggplant, listless and void of energy, with an indescribable air of defeat about him.

"..." Lady Xuan stood at the doorway, her heart skipped a beat.

Her husband had many children, but most were illegitimate, and she had only this one legitimate son. If he were to become useless, whom could she count on for the rest of her life?

After much deliberation, Lady Xuan finally stepped into the room.

Sitting beside Xuan Mu, she saw her son, who used to be as refined as jade, now in such a state of disrepair. As a mother, she felt a pang of heartache, yet she was also annoyed that he was so driven to despair over a girl, oblivious to his responsibilities and indifferent to his mother.
