chapter 52: Mother's Dowry (Fourth Watch)
"When Xu Youqing's elder brother saw the old lady, the embarrassment of being outshone by the Shi family faded a bit. Due to the poison, his face was deathly pale and his steps were unsteady. He rushed to the old lady, knelt down and wailed, "Auntie, you must avenge me...""
"The old lady was hardly in a better state. After Xu Youqing's decisive move, the old lady's health was completely ruined. Despite three months of recuperation, the illness still lingered. Looking at her nephew, she felt a twinge of pity for a moment, but then hardened her heart."
"How had she treated the pair of children left by her younger sister? And how had Xu Youqing treated her? If Xu Youqing, the niece raised under her roof, could act like this, how could this rarely - seen nephew in front of her truly treat her well?"
"Moreover, she was well aware that when Xu Youqing framed Shi Ning'an, she might well have intended to strike at her. Over the years, the old lady had turned a blind eye to Xu Youqing's support for the Xu family. If it went too far, she would have someone give them a warning. Perhaps it was these warnings that had made Xu Youqing have other ideas."
