Wang Sisi's words undoubtedly served as an explanation for Sima Guang's change of heart.
Though Sima Guang, the old fellow, couldn't control Wang Sisi's temper, he had always firmly controlled her body, so he never imagined that her change of heart could threaten his life. Instead, he truly believed that the sun had risen from the west.
A satisfied smile filled his aged face.
Seeing this, Wang Sisi continued to deceive him, saying, "I know that my current life and the respect I receive from the Sima family are all because you dote on me. Without you, they would surely bully me to death!"
Overjoyed by Wang Sisi's explanation, Sima Guang exclaimed, "Even if I die, no one in the Sima family will dare to bully you!"
"The fact that you've come to terms with this now makes all the years of my affection for you worthwhile!"
