It was said that old people were weaker than young people both physically and mentally. Physically, it was obvious that older people's bodies would become weaker as time went by, and they would get sick more often than young people. Mentally, old people were also more easily shocked when they received news they did not expect.
Perhaps that was the right way to describe Empress Dowager's state after hearing her grandson's decision. Wu Jinhai wasn't her only grandson, but it was clear that she only cared about him even though Wu Jingguo was also in the picture, and that was why she looked horrified when she heard Wu Jinhai's decision.
Bravely, Wu Jinhai said that he would stay with Bai Chen despite the many risks that awaited him in the future, and that was like a declaration of war in the old lady's ears.
