Before her mother died, she told him that he was the son of Sheng Shiming from Yuncheng, and urged him to return to the Sheng family. She had already guessed who had sent the people that night; it was nothing more than a fear that her son would return to compete with her daughter for the family inheritance.
"Shengyan, you must go back. You have to live a good life. With your grandparents there, that woman won't dare to do anything to you. It was my poor judgment that harmed you back then. I know how wronged you've felt all these years, being mocked by other children for not having a father. I am so sorry, my son."
"It’s just a pity that from now on... *cough, cough!* Mom won't be able to accompany you as you grow up, won't be able to see you marry and have children, or help take care of your kids. I’ll be watching over you from heaven, okay? You must live a safe and peaceful life. My Shengyan will definitely be happy in the future!"
