THE NEPHEW
Her palm slammed onto the square table right after her son left her quarter. Maybe she didn't even care whether her son could hear how she violently vented her anger on the table, and now she only cared about how her son dared to disobey her orders.
"I carried him for more than nine months in my womb, and even though I wasn't the one who taught him to walk and talk, I was still the closest person to him over the years. How dare he act like that in front of me?" Zhu Ruolan angrily asked that question even though she was the only person in the room.

Instead, it was mostly the palace maids who taught the boy to walk and talk, and that was why Zhu Ruolan had to admit that she was not by her son's side every second.
