And him?
Relying on his own bit of cleverness, besides talking back to his mother and causing trouble, what obedient things has he ever done?
Cheng Haoxuan's head was so heavy it almost touched the ground; he felt that he had no face to see Madam Cheng again. As his master said, he was indeed a disobedient son, a thoroughly disobedient son!
"Mother, your child, your child is wrong."
The voice was as weak as a mosquito's, and Cheng Haoxuan truly felt remorseful.
Yet Madam Cheng was already crying so hard she couldn't make a sound. She had not told Cheng Haoxuan about his origin for two reasons: one was the fear that he would feel lowly upon learning he was actually an illegitimate child, and the other was the fear that he wouldn't understand her and would resent her.
Now, hearing her son call her "mother" again, Madam Cheng's tears could no longer be controlled, and she cried woefully while holding her son's head.
