She's a woman merely surviving, indifferent to the question of life or death, but she has two sons. She can't let them fall into despair because of her.
Those people are ruthless; they won't care whether her two sons have Ding Family blood.
If she leaves Chrysanthemum Hall, they will certainly target her and her two sons. If anything happens to her children, she would deeply regret it.
"Ru'er, you don't know how cruel those people are. Now your father doesn't remember me, he can't protect you."
With no man to rely on, no one to protect them, she can only depend on herself. Anyway, she's rough and tough; she can endure until her sons grow up and become more capable, then they can escape this hellhole.
"We need to gather more things. Just these things are not enough, really not enough. Ru'er, you must be obedient, don't show dissatisfaction with those people, understand?"
"Mother!"
Ru'er uttered a low growl.
