Song Hong heard these words and didn't speak for quite some time. After a while, he slowly sighed, revealing a look of fatigue: "I know, you resent me—"
Song Chongjin's lips curled into a sarcastic arc but he said nothing.
Wang Yongzhu silently remarked to himself, so the Lord Duke does have some self-awareness.
Song Hong's words elicited no response, and the room remained silent.
He took a deep breath, looking out the window, his tone turning somewhat melancholy: "I have wronged you, I have wronged your mother! It's right for you to resent me, to hate me! Yet, now I only wish to compensate you, nothing more."
