Yang Yuzhen came specifically to see Liu Ye'er, looking solemn as she said, "I have something weighing heavily on my mind, and I truly don't know what to do." Liu Ye'er asked with concern, "What on earth is the matter?" Yang Yuzhen took a deep breath and slowly explained, "You asked me to look into Mu Jiang's family background, and now I have found out everything.
I've been keeping a close eye on them, only to discover that Mu Jiang's home life is utterly dreadful. His father is an unrepentant gambler who literally drove his first wife to death with his cruelty. He remarried, but his nature didn't change, and his new wife couldn't control him either.
She took out all her frustrations on Mu Jiang, making him suffer terribly. I originally wanted to teach that couple a hard lesson, but Mu Jiang stopped me. He said that although his father was in the wrong, punishment would do no good; as for his stepmother, she was also a pathetic creature not worth getting angry over.
