Chapter 1836 - 1838: Picking Up and Letting Go
Silence.
For the first time opening up about the affairs of the previous generation, Sui Chengyu found himself a bit at a loss on how to face Yang Junmo.
Yang Junmo’s candor deepened Su Chengyu’s sense of guilt towards him, and at this moment, he could only offer comfort by saying.
"I just hope that what your father did isn’t as bad as I imagine it to be..."
Yang Junmo seemed to have noticed Su Chengyu’s difficulty and proactively reached out to pat Su Chengyu’s shoulder.
"Why think so much? You’re just someone who likes to overthink. Everyone has their own fate. Even if he is my father, when it comes to major rights and wrongs, I can’t possibly shield him. Moreover, I’m quite grateful that in the end, it’s you who came looking for him."
Su Chengyu unexpectedly looked up, somewhat confused, at Yang Junmo.
Yang Junmo blinked and softly said, "I believe that only you in the world would look at my father with no other motives, just judging right from wrong."
Su Chengyu was startled. Looking up at Yang Junmo, he didn’t expect that this guy had thought so deeply.
And at that moment, Yang Junmo also turned his head to look into the distance. "After I realized that my father was doing many shady things in secret, I hesitated and struggled internally. I didn’t investigate deeply, of course... I also know I couldn’t find out, but I understand that even if Your Majesty wanted my father to step down from that position one day, there would certainly be other thoughts mixed in, let alone those who originally had grudges against my father. And after all, as a son, even if my father was wrong initially, I can’t just stand by and watch him be pushed away by others for these things, only to be pulled down by those with ulterior motives."
