Liang Zhou smiled and said, “Xiao Yu is very hardworking and quick-witted, but she’s a chatterbox.”
Mu Qing seemed moved. “You went to the temple to pray for me?”
Liang Zhou nodded. Her smile carried a trace of sorrow as she said, “Master said that your luck is bad because of our lost child’s resentment. When I recalled the past, indeed, he couldn’t be saved because you were late. Hence, Master said that he’s venting his anger on you by making it so that no matter how hard you worked, you’d never get anything in return. I think Master has a point.”
Liang Zhou saw Mu Qing’s hand freeze briefly. She knew she had gotten his attention so she continued to say, “Master told me that one of us should devote ourselves to Buddha. As long as we continue to pray for our unborn child, we’ll be able to appease him. When he’s satisfied, he’ll naturally leave in peace…”
Tears began to spill from Liang Zhou’s eyes as she said, “Mu Qing, do you know how I felt when I heard Master’s words? Later, I told the child to look for Mommy. Mommy’s the one who failed him. I told him not to pester Daddy.”
Liang Zhou calmed herself down before she said, “I’m devoting myself to Buddha from now on. I will do good deeds, recite Buddhist scriptures, and practice vegetarianism to wash away my sins. I’ll help my son find peace. I’m doing it for both you and our son. I know you have a lot of things you want to achieve. I won’t hinder you. I’ll deal with everything at home, and I promise not to become a burden to you.”
Mu Qing’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing these words. Liang Zhou had been by his side for so many years so it was not like he was unaware of how much she had sacrificed for him. However, he did not acknowledge it to keep her on her toes. In his opinion, he would not let people be complacent, and he would not allow them to grow conceited. In short, he thought women should not be spoiled.
During this period of time, in order to appease Ye Xin, he rarely came home and did not bother with Liang Zhou at all. In fact, he did not return today because he had developed a conscience. Instead, he only returned to criticize her.
