Chapter 207: The Vicious Merciful Mother’s Tears (3)
Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua exchanged a look, their eyes flickering with shock and contemplation. As one of the three great families in the South, the Yu Family naturally had top-notch protective measures for the Family Head’s mother. Aside from those close to her, no others would have the opportunity to poison her so frequently.
Reflecting on the situation ten years ago when Liu Ruohua was pregnant, a complex expression crossed the couple’s faces. There were only a handful of people who were that close to them, and the realization that the poison might have been administered by one of them was a blow to them both.
An Yiqing seemed to see the sorrow in Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua and couldn’t help but remind them, "Brother Yu, Sister-in-law Yu, forgive my frankness, but the suffering Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan endure today are the bitter fruits of the previous generation’s wrongdoings. I know you both value loyalty and righteousness, but, in my opinion, true affection should only be extended to those who are worthy of it."
Upon hearing the young girl’s words, Yu Tianyou and his wife felt a jolt in their hearts. As the saying goes, the observer is clear-headed while the player is blind. They weren’t fools; it was just that they were so aggrieved because their loved ones were involved. However, An Yiqing’s words served as a wake-up call, and they both came to their senses. Indeed, when they thought of their children’s suffering over the years, the one who poisoned them no longer felt like family!
"Young lady, thank you for the reminder! I understand the principle, it’s just that I was too involved to see clearly," Yu Tianyou said with a hint of shame, "Alas! It’s my fault for not being more vigilant. Over the years, I’ve harbored a threat, causing these two children, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Fang, to suffer!"
"Tianyou, it’s not your fault. It’s because I wasn’t careful enough to have consumed the poison," Liu Ruohua said, gripping Yu Tianyou’s hand tightly, her face filled with guilt.
