Chapter 562: He Ying’s Confidence 1 (1/2)

Pan Nianzhen bowed her head without saying anything, as if she had suffered a major grievance.

Matriarch He felt a little guilty in her heart. She sighed, “It was all my fault for agreeing with your father’s decision to marry you off to Siyang that year.”

He Ying hastily shook her head, “Mother, what are you saying? It’s already been so many years. I’ve already moved on from what happened. At that time, I was the one in the wrong, causing Mother to lose face.”

After spending time together these past few days, He Ying had already noticed that her mother wasn’t as sharp as before. She has become more muddle-headed and soft-hearted as she got older. Every time she acknowledged her mistakes and acted pitiful, her mother would be especially affectionate to her.

She had tried this trick many times and it had worked every time so far.

As expected, Matriarch He’s face was filled with remorse. Her heart ached as she patted her daughter’s hand, “Don’t worry, Miss Ying. Mother will find a good husband for Nianzhen.”

Pan Nianzhen was her daughter’s only child, so she couldn’t bear letting her suffer.

A corner of He Ying’s lips lifted up in celebration of her success, hidden by the shadows falling over her face.

Her eyes darted about. She felt that this was a good chance to mention her suggestion to her mother.

She organised her thoughts and moved closer to Matriarch He. She hugged Matriarch He’s arm and swayed it lightly, “Mother, Miss Pan is my only daughter. I can’t bear to let her marry somewhere far away. I’m also worried that her husband’s family will mistreat her. After all, I experienced that misery myself in the past. If possible, I would rather keep Miss Pan right here with me forever.”

The matriarch’s gaze was unfocused. A bitter and remorseful expression emerged on her face. It was hard to tell if she was thinking of the year that her daughter had been sent off far away.
