Zhang Yichen returned home, and Old Master Zhang saw his grandson come back, but behind him was no silhouette of his daughter-in-law. He didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that his grandson had failed to persuade her? But that shouldn't be the case. If she were a mother at heart, truly caring for her son, she should stay for his sake no matter what. So why was the situation before him completely different from what he wanted to see? What was this outcome all about?
"Yichen, why have you come back alone? Didn't your mother come back with you? Weren't you supposed to go out and persuade your mother to come back with you? Why have you come back home alone now? Is it that she doesn't want to come back with you? As long as she's willing to stay in this city, that would be enough!"
