"Shazhu, don't hold it against your First Uncle. You know exactly what kind of man he is; he doesn't have a malicious bone in his body."
First Aunt sat to one side, watching He Yuzhu intently. To her, He Yuzhu was the most promising young man in the entire Siheyuan, and she was genuinely fond of him. Though he had his flaws and had certainly made mistakes in the past, she couldn't help but wonder how much those errors really affected their own household. His mistakes were already made, and Ran Qiuye had already forgiven him; continuing to dwell on them wouldn't do anyone any good. It would only make He Yuzhu resent them and pull away. They were childless, after all; if He Yuzhu turned his back on them, who else could they rely on? Especially when it came to their final arrangements, they would need his help.
"Don't worry, First Aunt, I understand First Uncle's temperament. I know he doesn't mean any harm. Rest assured, I won't hold a grudge. It really was my fault."
