Han Dongchen heard the words and fell silent, just hugging Su Xiaowan tightly and comforting her, hoping her emotions would calm down.
The words he occasionally said were also admitting his fault, "It's all my fault..."
Everyone who entered the room and saw this scene sighed unceasingly. Some of the more tender-hearted people began to wipe away their tears. One such person was Liu Ni. Despite her loud and commanding presence, she had the softest heart.
Here, aside from Su Xiaowan's crying and Auntie and her elder cousin Song Yongyu wiping their tears, her tears also plopped down freely. To an outsider, it might even seem like she was a close relative.
Seeing this, General Wang felt a pang in his heart but kept a stern face, furrowing his brow as he pulled Liu Ni aside and scolded, "What are you crying for? Don't just stand there, go help with the cooking before everything burns."
