Thinking of Lu Jiaxin's plight, Su Heming spoke with some guilt, "I'm sorry, your mom passed because of Yichen, yet we failed to protect you."
Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, "You were overwhelmed at that time, and Aunt Su wasn't in great health either. I don't blame you. However, when I returned to the capital this time and saw Aunt Su, her complexion looked much better than before."
With Su Hongying's health improving, it also quelled the ambitions of those who aspired to climb up the ladder. Xie Yichen could also grow up safe and sound, in good health.
Su Heming nodded and said, "My aunt's health had been seriously depleted. In the past, we didn't have the means or strict oversight, and she wouldn't accept the fish maw and bird's nest and other nourishing goods that my elder brother sent her. It's only in these past two years with more lenient policies that she began accepting and eating them daily."
What can one say? Everyone has their own difficulties.
