Grand Tutor Lu was rendered speechless, though he was truly consumed by guilt.
Had he not been so preoccupied with state affairs back then, he never would have let Mother Lu travel alone to their hometown to visit her ailing mother with their son. It was that negligence that led to Lu Wanwan’s premature birth and nearly resulted in her being switched with the Meng family’s daughter.
The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself. Finally, he patted Lu Changfeng on the shoulder. "It is my fault. I shouldn't have blamed you for forgetting. If I had been able to protect you all, Zeng Shuhui would never have had a chance to get near your mother. And if I had been able to find the evidence to bring the Zeng family to justice, you wouldn't have had to risk being disrespectful to your grandfather just to find Imperial Physician Lin."
