Cheng Su didn’t return to her own home but went to the Cheng family instead; her own home was too desolate, without any liveliness, she needed a place with people.
Qi Xiaoqi was surprised to see her come, wondering why she, as a daughter-in-law, wasn’t taking care of her mother-in-law who had suffered a calamity?
Cheng Su didn’t say anything, just asked the old man if she could stay here for a night; what was the big deal, the old man said, and had Xiao Qi take her to the room he was staying in.
Lying on the bed, Cheng Su looked exhausted, Qi Xiaoqi pulled a quilt over her and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Seeing her son’s thoughtfulness, Cheng Su patted the side of the bed and said, "I’m tired, I want to rest, you sit here!"
Qi Xiaoqi sat over, looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
Cheng Su said, "She still fell for someone else’s plot to sow discord..."
Qi Xiaoqi quietly listened, expressionless on his little face.
After a long while, Cheng Su finally finished talking and said, "Only now do I understand clearly, some people are destined never to open their hearts in this lifetime." Referring to Mother Qi.
Having gone through great adversity together, in the end, there was only blame, she realized, they were ultimately just mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Qi Xiaoqi said, "If that’s the case, then keep her at a respectful distance, anyway, it’s not like anyone can’t live without anyone else!"
Cheng Su responded with a hum, closed her eyes, and said, "With respect. It’s my responsibility as a daughter-in-law, I’ll bear it, for Qi Taiguo’s sake."
Qi Xiaoqi patted her hand: "Sleep! You look very tired!" He saw the wounds on her face, feeling even more distressed and upset.
She had suffered.
